Pixel 4 XL case renders reveal more design details, new blue colour variant
By revealing the design of the Pixel 4 officially, Google did something that no one was really expecting. The company practically ruined the phone for leaksters, at least in terms of the handset’s design of the rear panel. While the official image of the phone showcases the rear panel, its dual camera setup and reveals some design elements, there are still some aspects of the phone that are unknown. We recently came across a new render of the handset that suggests it could be announced in Mint colour with a yellow power button. Now, a new leaked image hints at a blue colour variant of the Pixel 4 XL.
The tipster Sudhanshu Ambhore posted some images on Twitter of the alleged Pixel 4 XL case renders. The images again reiterate the design showcased by the company and suggest that the handset might be announced in a solid blue colour. Going by the images, Google could be dropping the two-tone design it uses on the rear panel of its Pixel handsets. The dual-camera setup is the same as what we originally came across. Two sensors can be seen housed within a square-shaped camera module, along with an LED flash and a small cutout, which could either be a time of flight sensor, or as rumours suggest, a spectral sensor that is already present on the Pixel 3.

— Sudhanshu Ambhore (@Sudhanshu1414) June 21, 2019As mentioned earlier, Google has officially shown off only the rear panel of the Pixel 4 smartphone. The display and its design from the front are yet to be revealed. However, a previously leaked live image of the handset suggests that it could come equipped with a pill-shaped punch hole display design. The bezels are also further reduced around the display and the front-facing dual speakers we’ve seen on the Pixel phones might not be present on the Pixel 4 handsets. You can read more about this here.

Adobe Lightroom now available on Apples Mac App Store
Creative professionals would be happy to hear that Adobe Lightroom has made its way into the Mac App Store. Adobe’s professional photo editing application can now be directly downloaded from Apple’s own store. This may not seem like it, but it is a promising move on the part of Adobe.
Currently, if you want to download any of Adobe’s professional applications, you must do so through the Creative Cloud application, which is a separate download from Adobe’s website. Now with Lightroom being directly available from the Mac App Store, it would save Mac users a significant number of additional steps.
The Adobe Lightroom available is the full-fledged photo editing application, known as Lightroom Classic. The application is free to use for a week, after which, you must pay $9.99 monthly. What is interesting is that this subscription is paid through Apple’s in-app purchasing system, and not directly to Adobe.
This is the first of Adobe’s professional apps returning to the Mac App Store, which is a good sign for Mac users. The last time Adobe Apps were found on the Mac App Store was back in 2012, when Adobe used to actually sell its applications as standalone programs. Even since it switched to the subscription model under the Creative Cloud banner, Adobe’s applications can only be downloaded through the Creative Cloud desktop app only. Adobe makes it notoriously hard to come by individual installer files for its applications.
Apple has been pushing for greater adoption of the use of its Mac App Store through the new direction of editorial content to highlight the App Store’s offerings. With Lightroom now available on the App Store, we hope that more of Adobe’s professional applications will be available outside of the Creative Cloud application.
