The leak shares images of the settings menu of the Motion Sense feature. Google will allow users to skip songs, wake the display, mute calls and alarms, and briefly turn on the lock screen by various hand gestures. For now, these are the only options visible although the Soli chip is capable of doing a lot more. Also, according to the host of the channel, Google is also working on a separate project which it will announce on launch day. In a separate leak, noted tispter Evan Blass shared a render of the Pixel 4 sparking speculation that the launch date could be October 15th.
