Update, December 23, 2019 (2:08AM ET): Google's December 2019 update is slowly making its way to Pixel 4 users around the world, and we already know it introduces e-SIM support on T-Mobile.
Now, XDA-Developers has uncovered two more additions in the update, in the form of dual-frequency GPS and ever-improving Face Unlock. The former feature is available on several flagship phones these days, delivering more accurate location tracking.

The latter feature is pretty interesting too, as Google now uses recent Face Unlock scans to improve Face Unlock security and accuracy over time. In other words, the more you use facial recognition on the Pixel 4, the better it gets. Here's to seeing this option on more phones, be it for face unlock or fingerprint scanning.
Unfortunately, Google still hasn't implemented an eyes-open toggle for Face Unlock, which means people can still unlock your phone if you're sleeping. Hopefully this addition comes in the next update.

Google Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL updates

The Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL launched earlier this year with Android 10, the latest version of Android. They are expected to receive three major updates in their lifetime in accordance with Google's smartphone update policy.
Google tends to update its Pixel phones with the latest Android version on the day it first becomes available. That means the Pixel 4 and 4 XL should see Android 11 as soon as the final version rolls out. It's expected around September of 2020.
