The[Google Pixel 4](https://technosports.co.in/?s=google+pixel+4)was one of the two flagship phones that [Google](https://technosports.co.in/?s=google+) had announced in 2019, the phone had a different design from the [Pixel 3](https://technosports.co.in/?s=google+pixel+3) but as it turns out, the phone could have featured an entirely different design.

From the prototype images of the Google Pixel 4 that have now surfaced on the web, we can infer that Google had experimented with a curved display for the flagship phone.

The retail version of the Google Pixel 4 has a rather flat display.

> Speaking of the Pixel 4, right after I tweeted this, [@trzpro](https://twitter.com/trzpro?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) sent me some images of various prototype models. If these are real, then it means some of the prototypes had curved displays. Retail models have curved edges but the display is flat.

These images were shared on Twitter by Mishaal Rahman, former Editor-in-Chief of XDA Developers. The photos were originally posted on a Chinese forum according to the source that shared the photos with him.

The curved display is not the only thing that did not make it to the final version. The photo also shows the prototype Pixel 4 has a thicker bezel for its chin similar to that of the Pixel 3, on the back, there is no significant difference from the final model.
