Google Pixel 4 XL - User Reviews

  • You can switch to the three button navigation if gestures are not your thing.

  • Btw, you can go back to "3 button format"(in settings) if you are not comfortable with default way of navigation.

  • You sound British and sane, and you have the audacity of expressing an opinion on a device you actually own and use. Odd on this supposedly tech site where a lot of illiterate folks simply express their quasi-religious beliefs in such and such brand and their hatred for non-believers and their loathing of China and the Chines. Are iPhones made in Arkansas or Alabama? I have owned three Google phones, including the original Nexus and models made by Samsung and LG, and after owning Samsung and Sony devices, I am buying a P-Xl because I miss the plain-vanilla Androïd UI and instant OS updates and intend to use Google Fi and the dual-SIM/dual standby feature of the phone.

  • This is not true ..... recently I’ve seen tons of people using pixel 3 xl...... I was so surprised ..... I am in the train now and 2 folks that next to me are using pixel 3 xl and an original pixel respectively .....I even see some still use the original pixel / pixel xl ......I think Australia must be googles biggest overseas market in terms of sales number for pixel devices ...... I see a lot of people using pixel 3 xl ...... it’s very easily recognise because of the unique shape notch ....... they have the biggest notch ......

  • You’re Wearing a Trump cap. Where do you get an American-made phone? Or camera? Or OLED TV?

  • When they bring 256gb then I will consider this mobile. Bcoz they are lacking memory card slot. That is the only downside I saw with Google phones....

  • Mine arrived on Tuesday also What a great phone. Can't fault it yet, camera is great but the swipe for back is taking a bit of getting used to. brilliant bit of kit. Photos are so much better that the wife's S10 5g SimonFretwell

  • Chinese people buying them, they support their country very much

  • dear i am also google fan but that is not available in pakistan . second thing is this there price is very high

  • My Pixel 4 XL arrived on Tuesday, despite all the naysayers ramblings, its actually a bloody fantastic device. Everything just works and the camera is flawless. Oh and battery is no issue, its easily making it through the day with more to spare. Everyone has their opinions, Huawei make nice devices but crap software. Samsung phones are solid, etc etc, Pixels despite all the hate are great real world devices.

  • coz they dnt know about google pixel, Google never advertises because it does not need advertising. because he's Best

  • If Huawei mid range phones are so bad why so many people are buying them...

  • Cuz its not known to many people who can only see Samsung and Apple when their eyes are open and nothing while eyes shut. And pixel isn’t officially available in many countries as well.

  • If pixel phone is good.then why most of the people using other brand phone.

  • Bruh this is a tech website; if you think anyone posting here is remotely fun at parties, then you’re surely mistaken.

  • Not bad of an increase considering bigger battery and radar module

  • I imagine your fun at parties!

  • This phone has by far the fastest face unlock of all time compared with other phone, even iPhone 11 ones. Thanks to radar soli. The camera is outrageously brilliant and par with iPhone 11 Pro Max, even lacks ultra wide camera module. The astrography feature is brilliant too.

  • I am part of a team at nvidia that works on application of AI on photography you would be amazed about what we can do with three 8 megapixel cam of same lens config. the point being pixel does not need wide angle lens for taking wide angel photo due to its advanced algorithms but having an extra cam with wide angle lens sure does help with fill-in quality.

  • This phone has nothing, not only wide angle lens. Now we understand why they are fighting with Huawei.

  • Main disappointment for me is no wide angle lens, and also no 4k 60FPS video in rear camera. Like how? Even cheaper phones have 4k 60FPS Also, I'm very concerned about the battery life, QHD resolution and 90 hertz screen?

  • That's big head with small legs. I'm so confusing why they're designed the phone like that. That bezel so be similar

  • Three undisputable facts... 1) Chinese phones exist only because they stole everything they know from the west. 2) They are cheap because they are manufactured at gunpoint. 3) Google phones are overpriced.

  • I don't like the trend of these phones getting heavier each year... Pixel XL: 168 grams Pixel 2 XL: 175 g (+7) Pixel 3 XL: 184 g (+16) Pixel 4 XL: 193 g (+25)

  • Headline: Pixel 4 mania. And this is Pixel 4XL. I don't get the mania part to be honest. Buffed up expensive device. We can compare it to many new models of Huawei, Oppo, xioami etc. Chinese brands. But people usually diss many of those brands in USA. Best suitable brand for comparison is no other than OnePlus. And not any other than its latest model 7T Pro. 7T pro beats pixel 4xl in so many specifications, it's not even funny. First and foremost, what everyone yaps about Pixel phones is their cameras. Yet 7T pro has larger aperture and more pixels packed into it. In 2019, a flagship not having ultrawide camera module is downright shame when it's hovering around $1,000. Yes pixel 4Xl doesn't have ultrawide cam. 7T pro has with 16Mp. Second one is the battery, speed of charge. OnePlus takes that one easily. And then there is this screen to body ratio, another gut bunch from OnePlus. List can go on in comparison and you can stack them side by side here on GSM arena and choose differences mode. You'll see better yourself. After everything stacked up and you have a pony vs. a stallion and pony is about $1,000 and stallion is about $650-$700, you'll be only mental to go with the pony... Unless you're buying the pony for your little girl who doesn't know better, than hey you gotta do what you gotta do.

  • Every phone nowadays är waterproofed. They är build in the same country and in the same factorys. The only difference is that some have a certification and some not. Stereo speakers is not making much difference when it comes to Mi 9t because they have enhanced audio software which enriched the sound. Why pay for features you dont need?

  • Red Magic 3/3s, OnePlus 7 Pro, Tencent version of ROG 2, Samsung Galaxy S10e, and Zenfone 6 would ALL like a word with you...

  • Well having a good ip rating doesnt mean its water PROOF you can still damage it in water if its there long enough, or deep enough. They cant tell how it was damaged if it was claimed. It doesnt make sense to cover it for that. Same thing about the screen, they can have stronger glass, that doesnt mean its shatter proof, and it doesnt mean they'll cover it if you bashed your phone with a hammer lol.

  • Can anyone confirm if the regular sim and the esim are open at the same time?

  • tf you talking bout? s10+, s10 5g, note 10+, mate 30 pro, mate 30 pro 5g

  • lmao miui is trash

  • waterproofing this ip rating that, they aint shit. those companies don't cover water damage despite the ip rating shit

  • For free i dont want to Test it

  • The Mi 9t Pro? You must be joking - who would buy a non-water proof phone without stereo speakers in 2019 except maybe a museum to show technology from the last century?

  • Xiaomi imui skin is ugly like iOS

  • Asus rog phone 2.

  • Mate 30 Pro too

  • s10 plus? p30 pro? Note 10 plus? GTFOH

  • Xiaomi Mi 9t pro is even better deal than both Samsung s10 and Pixel 4 XL. Save your money for more important things.

  • Outdated design, no fingerprint scanner and no ultra wide camera. The galaxy s10 plus is a better deal.

  • Too expensive in my opinion. No feature stands out for a new buyer. You get three Xiaomi Mi 9t pro phones for one Pixel 4 XL.

  • Yes we’ve been waiting for nothing

  • lol... Oneplus Beast in Android phone... Google phones sucks...

  • thank you oneplus 7T pro

  • I used Google pixel XL 1st gen. The experience was obvious. They make really nice phones, maybe not in the design or specifications but the quality of experience. Of course the price is very high if you compare to the current market. So I don't like to buy these high priced mobiles anymore because after 1 year you will not get even half of the price of it, second you will regret after after seeing others company making very nice looking phones.

  • no 4k @ 60fps? and as an added bonus, no more unlimited "full res" photo storage. wtf Google. I really wanted to like this phone, been waiting since the OG XL which in still using, Android 10 running top notch. Hopefully the 4a will be more of a deal.

  • Really dude? Isn't enough feature for you? All top phones this year came out at 800 to 1500$ so stop being like that

  • Hmm I thought the google pixel 4 was bad but now I see the pixel 4xl 3700 mah battery, 90hz screen quad hd, starting price of 900EUR for a 64gb. Google pixel has become the iphone of android lol

  • Yes, Indeed. Megapixel is not everything in photography. Image Processing is a crucial thing. 108MP is useless if image processing in that phone is a joke--terrible. Using GCam that by made by XDA Developers is just merely slight improvement and complete mess. iPhone, Samsung, and Google has great image processing.

  • Like Apple, now even Google thinks that whatever they do people gonna like it. Nope! We not buying it. We want top specs and latest features, not your fancy words. Sorry Google and Apple, your strategy won't work

  • £929 For the pixel xl in the UK that’s terrible Should have added a micro sod slot and just 128gb internal storage Google are way behind the times

  • now is clear why google are blocking huawei mate 30 series =) For that price and compabilities...

  • Really if this is a phone which is released in the year 2019 then they are way behind in mobile industry. Now a days we are into full screen and flexible display and look at this pixel 4 or 4 xl. I am surprised to see they have launched two models Pixel 4 & Pixel 4 Xl where in there is no difference apart from screen size, resolution and battery. What is the need of two different models if there is not changes.

  • Looks like a nice phone. Cameras are not set up in the best way, a problem the iPhone 11 series had. Resolution of the camera and RAM have improved. I found that the screen was shaky when I tried out a preliminary model. Very expensive, but I can’t complain.

  • Happy with my Pocophone F1. Half the price and great performance with superb battery. Sorry Pixel not interested. And non XL version 2800mah battery.? Omg

  • if this design was 4 years ago it would be totally awesome.. today's design is all about full screens how can they miss it>?@#

  • 900euro ????? Stupid...

  • How Odd, Google removed the Wide Angle Lens from front facing camera which was with Pixel 3.

  • Mobile Companies make you fool guys, I had Google Nexus 5X, and it's having great low light Photography experience in it..So don't go for 48, 64 and 108 coming up..they totally makes you fool (quad Bayer technology, Isocell etc).

  • Good to see HW upgrade matching up clean and top notch SW which Apple majorly misses. Yes they have good HW and clean design but not the SW power Google offers and to be frank their prices are just pure extortion. If I have little humanity left, instead of buying £1150 I would rather buy this for £830 and give rest to some charity to make world a better place where I can peacefully use my phone and take good photos with best camera in the phone market. Period.

  • How did they when they designed the phone months ago?

  • true, if he has never used a pixel, he doesn't know what a real android experience is ...

  • Worst look. 2011 models

  • So true!

  • Worse than a phone that's identical to a 5s??? Sorry mate but I think you're in the wrong page, go back to your herd!

  • They're copying the iPhone now more than ever before.

  • just look mate30pro 5g how many pros over 4 xl has :) hack it and install google services and you have best 2019 phone :)

  • best of all smartphones camera

  • Lack of inspiration Google ?

  • Lol bro, there are no android phone to compete with 11 pro max , also remember 2019 android flagship are wrosth than 2018 xs max , find money and buy phone bro

  • 900Euros for what? I mean I can get a OnePlus 7pro and still remain with some extra cash. No fingerprint under display, ffs..and what about IP rating? Google rebrand the price on this

  • RIP Apple pro max

  • It's not all about numbers, there is something in optimization.

  • So enjoy your Mi and Oppo device

  • This phone is a complete joke. The specs are garbage. Is Google being serious? Who will be dumb enough to buy this? Learn from ASUS, bloody amateurs.

  • people slating this phone/brand have clearly never used a Pixel before and it shows...

  • I clearly don't understand why manufactures spoiling look of phones now a days. Pixel 2 was a success and major roles was it's clean look. There are 4 to 5 modules in camera systems and they should find a better arrangements that don't compromise with design, Like Reno and Mate 30.

  • this is not a matter of which phone has better specs. SD855 is more than enough for most users. This phone has an excellent camera that no chinese phone has. It also does not run some crappy Chinese ROM. It's not all about specs.

  • Still cheaper than iPhone flagship

  • If this phone come's with earphone. usb c to 3.5m cable, ultra wide angle camera and 4000mah battery the price is ok. For 1000 dollar phone cant spend another 150 dollar for earphone

  • Design, model & Hardware are Like from previous Generation of 2017 and launching in 2019....Grow up google!

  • That's a joke Google you are too late from mobile phones technology, Camera same design as iPhone 11 No storage expansion the maximum is128 GB for 5 videos with 4k resolution memory is full , Google let's have more space. The price is so hight for such a phone I would buy an oppo or xiaomi.

  • Feel people troll Pixel phones now like they did to iPhones several years ago.

  • It's still thousand times better than chinese spec monsters that are good for nothing

  • Then please go ahead and buy MI phones. Pixel has the hardware and the main part is the software which you don't get in Mi phones. Please go ahead with Mi or VIVO or Oppo Pixel is a flagship phone. Please use them side by side to get to know the difference.

  • 900 euro for what? this phone with these specs should cost around 300 euro not more. go buy mi9t pro or oppo, at least they have better specs

  • What a joke!

  • Tried not to laugh... not to laugh...laughed a lot :D :D

  • s7 is a beast !

  • Then don't buy it.

  • Yeah especially with the shi*ty camera it has

  • But do you really need a bigger/better camera?!

  • Same products every year ..only minor changes adopt by google ....at this price i would prefer to buy note 10

  • Does it come in two models (US & International)? LTE Antenna wise...

  • If you wonder, its because when they release phone with recent/newest SoC its will not be optimized they needs atleast about 1 year of optimizing the SoC. Remember that Snapdragon 665 just have medium FPS and graphics on PUBGM while the older one Snapdragon 660 can be on HD and high settings on PUBGM? Remember the SD855 can not on Epic 60 fps while the SD845 can do it on Fortnite? Nah. Why not Plus variant? Of course balancing performance and battery life on Pixel. Hope you understand.

  • What this !! Bad in everything except screen details

  • they put some extra chipsets for camera

  • But the Mate 30 Pro is heavier...

  • 3700 mah battery, dual rear camera and 64 gb of storage, this looks like a 2017 flagship, not 2019

  • My gripe exactly. I have a cell for work and my personal. I hate to carry 2 phones. e-sim sucks. I expected a real Dual SIM feature.

  • Wont be purchasing. The one darn thing I wanted was Dual Sim (tray - not an e sim) and of course they don't do it. Major disappointment again. Just who the heck is advising them at Google?

  • No card slot, no headphone jack, no FM radio, no fingerprint reader. No thanks!

  • Yeah with your outdated hardware and outdated bloatware. We're all so jealous............... Get a grip

  • Google pixel is for them who uses iPhones. It's boring user interface like a cheap Chinese phone. No difference both uses vanilla android.

  • except that this prob takes better pics than an s7 lol

  • Always behind the competition, Google when you will learn??

  • No need for that

  • What is it lacking????

  • No

  • Tell me you joking.... No please tell me

  • Don't underestimate Google camera

  • This is Galaxy S7 2016 camera specification except the addition of telephoto. In fact, S7 has 26mm while this has 28mm!

  • How in the world a phone can weight 200grams with a 3700mAH battery with a thicknesse of 8.2mm? Its not even stainless steel its just aluminum have they put lead in that phone? Learn a little from Samsung and Huawei

  • Yikes.

  • Do u know what u are saying

  • My note 9 is so much better

  • Only Chinese phone brands are doing it, and anyway,it's not that worth of an upgrade from the 855, cause eitherway, it's still an 855 with minor tweaks, maybe if 865 was out and they kept it at 855 I'd agree.

  • Yes.

  • Wow seriously Google??? i love you products but this is just embarrassing this phone is lacking what alot of top tier phones have. At the price i rather just get the samsung note 10 or the iphone 11 pro much better products....i remember when the Pixel 1 came out that was a game changer and then the pixel 2 came out and made it better but after that its just been the same thing over and over...

  • Google Pixel 4 XL is my next phone. Best Pixel to date!

  • Why not Snapdragon 855+ at Q3 of late 2019? Google must be high on shit.

  • Google and there ugly design again pixel 4/4xl design looks like you holding the phone upside down with that big ugly forehead.

  • Hahaha.

  • He’s just dreaming doesn’t know that pixel 3s camera are not even better than mate 20pro camera lol.

  • Dont want to be rude but specs of Xiaomi Redmi note 8 are way better than this and cost only 250 euros compared to 900 for this device. Google etting ridiculous past times askign too much for an average midranger.

  • GSMA wrote 1800x3200p earlier and I have replied to that. Now they change the spec sheet. Doesn't matter whatever the purpose is You gonna use the phone and it will be painful if you can't go a full day with a single charge. It's not like that You will get updates for 3 years and that's all. It's a consumer product after all. And this battery is really gonna suffocate. The camera sensor is 3:4 1/2.55" 1.4 micron after all, same as the IMX 363, same 12MP behind a narrow 28mm lens. There is nothing new in hardware.

  • OK, I love the design, the colors are not bad too. It has a fantastic camera, but what it lacks? A bigger internal storage or micro SD card slot. I mean come on? 64 GB only without memory expansion?

  • 1800x3200 translates into 9:16, and keep in mind the surface area, it's 129 square cm

  • Yea! (~107.1% screen-to-body ratio) Sounds good ;)

  • It's an input error. It's impossible to had that ratio unless this phone was Mi Mix Alpha alike. It's more likely has 85 - 90 % screen-to-body ratio.

  • For those who say the pixel camera isn't as good as Samsung or iPhone, what r u smoking? Also, this phone will NEVER have micro SD and a 3.5mm jack... clearly, this phone is not 4 everybody, please.... It's a decent new pixel and those whiners can go get a Samsung or iPhone, who cares.... :)

  • First of all, it's a 19:9 phone not 16:9 phone. Second, Both Pixel 4 and Pixel 4XL neither use Sony Exmor IMX 363, they use updated version of Sony Exmor. Third, you didn't understand this phone purpose. This phone is dedicated for person who cares software update, simple UI and UX, and computational processes, including camera Machine Learning. Your mourn, battery complaint for example, is based on price-to-performance and Google Pixel 4 / 4 XL is not suitable for your demand.

  • This is a perfect phone for me, but can somebody explain the (129.0cm,~107.1% ratio) thing for me? Thanks.

  • lmao no, iphone 11 and samsung note 10+ cameras are better than pixel 3's. Not quite sure about the 4 tho, but price tag is ridiculous on all of the aforementioned phones

  • google can put ultrawide but square is just gimmick battery remain same no video recording improvement poor google this year

  • 1800x3200 translates into 9:16, and keep in mind the surface area, it's 129 square cm

  • 16:9 is wrong input. 19:9 is correct one.

  • It's Google not OnePlus

  • Really!!! A 6.3" 16:9 screen (129 square cm). It's a huge display with lot of pixels. I was expecting neither a 16:9 not a 19:9 but a 18:9 6.3" display. I still love the screen size and shape but the small 3700mAh battery is gonna suffocate. This screen needs a minimum 4500-5000 mAh battery. And I'm so sick and tired of the years old camera setup, the IMX 363, The fugked up 4:3 12MP sensor behind a narrow 28mm lens. Should be 26mm at least. Waiting for a 6000x4000 1/1.5" camera sensor behind a 24mm zeiss lens.

  • The one plus cameras are terrible - pixel three still outperforms new flagships like the iPhone 11 and Samsung 10.

  • No 4k60? Garbage camera. Even OnePlus had it in OnePlus 6.

  • More like £900... but it's no mediocre phone. Other than the top-of-the-line Samsung flagships and Huawei phones (irrelevant after the Google ban), no other Android phone quite matches the Pixel's photography.

  • A micro SD slot. Too many pics going to the cloud, and you quickly forget you have them. Also, how about the basic use for any Android; Miracast.

  • Lol, you faaaar behind the times just like your pixel 4!!!

  • No. 90Hz is optional setting. Actually, you can turn on Smooth Display or Turned it off as you want.

  • Let me guess, £1500 for this mediocre phone??

  • notches are yesterday's technology we have had them since 2017(I know the new iPhones still have them but they also only have 4gb of ram so its not surprising they're behind the times). Pop up cameras and phones with dual displays are in the present. So your right notches are ugly however they are becoming a thing of the past, just like the pixl,

  • Aqeel786 1: 90hz display that Samsung and apple doesn't have 2: Better battery optimization than others 3: Lates Android and features and ota updates for 3 years 4: Even note 10 and iPhone 11 is competing with pixel 3 having single camera so pixel 4 camera will b beast 5: BETTER design than apple that of 2017 6: no blotware I have pixel 2xl , i used ipx and my 2xl is far better than ipz and s9+ which have sd845 , pixel lags only in case of multitasking and no one will open 10 apps while playing pubg ☺️ common sense. Google is just inventing smart like night sight portrait with single Lens if u wanna buy Android go for pixels h wil forget about others

  • Rightly said. Notches are ugly, in whatever form on the display. Another thing, display should be 18:9 or 19:9 , that should be the limit. Not like 20:9 which is worst for web browsing and videos . looks like a narrow bar or slit.

  • Rightly said. Notches are ugly, in whatever form on the display. Another thing, display should be 81:9 or 19:9 , that should be the limit. Not like 20:9 which is worst for browsing and videos . looks like a narrow bar or slit.

  • Notches, no matter how they shape it, look ugly af. People (kids/people with no sense of design) keep complaining. Just because Apple did something and many others copied that, it doesn't mean that it's good. Stop following the masses and use your own brains. Google's design is very nice for pixel 4 and pixel 4 xl.

  • It would be rather punitive for any phone company to put a statement reading "we are hiding our notches, holes and cutouts through fancy wallpapers"...which to my knowledge none of them have done anyways. There are now mobiles without any cutout or bezel to speak of...the OnePlus 7 Pro, Vivo Nex 3 or perhaps the Samsung Galaxy A80, they all pushed to make there handsets as modern and as aesthetically clean as possible. Using the word "hide" to describe a rather prominent feature of any phone is rather narrow minded, the notch has became a stand out symbol of not just Apple but from several phone models, manufacturers know that even with such designs its something that still sells. Compare the success of Apples. Samsungs and even Huaweis handsets recently and a picture starts to become clear, if effort is made to increase screen real estate then why not, even if notches or cutouts are compromises? Googles team really like large foreheads of course.

  • True about Apple's wallpaper. Also Google's wallpaper for the Pixel 3 XL. And Samsung's wallpapers for the S10 and S10+. Sponge, who claimed mfg never use wallpaper to hide their notches, lives in an alternate universe.

  • Actually apple's wallpaper is meant to hide the notch...just check the picture of the xs on the boxes...it is meant to hide it...

  • because majority smartphone users aren't narcissistic selfie addict like you.

  • so pixel 4 will have 64gb and 128gb as options while pixel 4XL will have 128gb and 256gb?

  • Looks like my complaints about the 3 XL are going to ride over to the 4 XL and I'd rather have a notch than a forehead. Just like the 3 XL's lauch, it looks like there's not much improvement over the previous generation. Cell modem is still pretty weak compared to its competitors. I doubt Qualcom Quick Charge will show up this generation and I'm sure Qi Fast Charging will still be locked to Google and Belkin despite Google saying they were going to open that up after the 3 XL launch. The camera and slightly improved cell modem are enough to tempt me to upgrade, but I really wish Google would come on a little stronger here for the price they're asking.

  • 30fps video and aluminum frame in 2019?

  • 1: 90hz display that Samsung and apple doesn't have 2: Better battery optimization than others 3: Lates Android and features and ota updates for 3 years 4: Even note 10 and iPhone 11 is competing with pixel 3 having single camera so pixel 4 camera will b beast 5: BETTER design than apple that of 2017 6: no blotware I have pixel 2xl , i used ipx and my 2xl is far better than ipz and s9+ which have sd845 , pixel lags only in case of multitasking and no one will open 10 apps while playing pubg ☺️ common sense. Google is just inventing smart like night sight portrait with single Lens if u wanna buy Android go for pixels h wil forget about others

  • more less design is similar. the reason buying google pixel is optimal experience on android. just like iphone the most reason for buying is optimized system.

  • This looks so crap. Even the iPhone looks better. I just don't see any point of buying a Pixel phone anymore. If they could make their designs desireable I'd love to try going back to a Pixel.

  • For what? Why would somebody use a back camera in 2019? LOL

  • WHAT is it missing exactly?

  • Why not 5g?

  • where is the ultrawide cam on the back ?!

  • I dunno I kinda like it design wise, it just lacks features... :<

  • No jacky, no 3.5mm not even IR blaster for Asian market? Is Asia a joke to you Google?!! O3O

  • ugly phone

  • It has a 3700 mah battery which lasts longer than Iphone 11 pro's battery.

  • You are absolutely right,that's why I'm not buying Google phone

  • The epic fail phone from Google, terrible battery, no SD card, no 3.5 jack.

  • Where is the ultrawide caméra?

  • No manufacturer had hidden a notch through a wallpaper. Many people have been creative and made wallpapers for O-Displays like those found on the Galaxy S10/S10e or Honor View 20.

  • If Google wants its phones to sell very well then it should start making its phones to be dual SIM. when iPhone & BB were not making much sales they embraced dual SIM phones and they skyrocketed especially iPhone. This is my little contribution.

  • I feel like google pixel really lagged behind its competitors..by competitors i meant samsung and huawei(not anymore i guess until it has google again).. It only have 3700mah battery,thats so last year..this year they should have at least 4000mah+..not to mention they're lagged behind in camera department(compared to samsung,huawei heck even one plus and xiami),and they are WAYY too late in releasing their phones...by the time they released this phone,samsung already about to sell their brand new galaxy S series in 3 months with better camera and updated snapdragon chipset,with xiaomi and oneplus following a few months after..at that time,this phone will become obsolete..i mean you do get unlimited google photos storage,but who tf fills up their 256/516gb worth of storage with just pictures anyway? plus vids can be exported to pc.. Not worth a buy imo,other brands are better

  • Hey, ask Google assistant when the Pixel 4 release date is and it answers 20th October...

  • Lol that’s a good comment i love it

  • Like every year &#128512;

  • Probably for the same reasons Apple's 2-lens phones (7-Plus, 8-Plus, X, XS, XS Max) didn't and Samsung's 2-lens phones (Note 8, Note 9, S9+) didn't. Ultra-wides are the hot item these days with YouTube techies, but telephotos are still popular and extremely useful. Now why Google didn't go with 3 lenses like many are doing is the real question.

  • Why didn't they include ultrawide angle lens&#128533;

  • Is Google trying to be Apple? (Not in a bad way) 3700mAh with a 90 hertz display, this is a recipe for disaster.

  • worst google designer , looks very ugly

  • Is there any bad things about having a larger bezels rather than being ugly to your eyes? No despise intended but this phone is rather worthy to have than the one from Sony.

  • I don't see in note 10 and mate 30 trying to hide those things

  • That was a good joke !

  • Notch doesn't "disappear" to me. And all the top mfg (Apple, Samsung, Huawei, LG) aren't real proud of them either which is why they always advertise their phones with wallpapers that hide the notches. But within the apps there's no hiding those ugly things.

  • pixel is the best phone in the market. i ll defenately buy pixel 4xl.

  • Pixel 4 will not have UFS 3.0 memory.

  • I would choose OnePlus 7T , but not double price pixel with slower chip. No thanks

  • X1 is good enough for me. I can't imagine having this in my hand. Looks ugly

  • You won't be getting the camera magic that Pixel can produce without that forehead however. Small sacrifice. Worth it completely. Pictures of my children remain priceless.

  • Yes, you are right. But X1 doesn't have reliable fingerprint sensor and miss wireless charging while having the glass back. This is a deal-breaker for me personally.

  • This is a spit in the smartphone industry for top end 2019

  • The bezels even bigger than Xperia 1 has, so Xperia 1 looks beautiful compare this piece of something

  • Hopefully Google upgrade the battery life as I find its the main weakness of the pixel phones. Also the device always seems to be the last device of the year with snapdragon flagship chip before next year's SoC is released which is silly because it seems to be outdated after only a few months of being released. You think with the amount of money Google has invested in developing the software for the device they could invest a bit in advancing the chip to keep in line with next year's flagships at least. Pointless in arguing that software gives it an advantage anymore as we have all seen what one plus and Samsung and even Sony can do with there UI over the android OS. It seems that nearly every device performs better in gaming and speed performance with the same SoC. Other than that I have no doubt the new cameras are going to be outstanding.

  • I use a Mate 20 Pro, the notch just disappears after using the phone for a few weeks, but what is with the gargantuan bezel at the top of the screen? You could give that bezel it's own postcode!

  • Yea because 4000 is more comment battery capacity on a phone

  • Idk what all you ppl are complaining about. I'd rather have a bezel than a notch, and a useful bezel at that since it house like a mil sensors in it. also, smaller non-existent bezels do make the phone look futuristic but they also make it uncomfortable cause palm rejection is shit in most of them. And bezels this big are hardly called huge. Now on the other points of complaint. Yes it should be able to record 4K60 to compete with the rest as the camera isnt only for photos Google. Personally I couldnt give a damn about 4K60 since it takes too much space and I wouldnt wanna use it anw so 4K30 as an option is fine with me. HOWEVER, 3700mah battery on a 90Hz display sounds like a recipe for bad battery life. I've been disappointed ever since the first leak about the battery! 6GB of RAM is probs going to be good enough but if the 8GB variant becomes a reality it's gonna be great! Probs gonna be too expensive though so I'd stick with the base model. I like everything else about the phone but the battery is killing me. I saw another comment saying 3500mah for the small and 4000mah minimum for the XL and that's how it should be. I dont care if the phone gets a little thicker, just put a big batteryyyy.

  • What's with Google and bezels. They just love bezels. GET RID OF THEM ALREADY

  • IMO 4000mAh battery for Pixel 4XL and 3500mAh for the pixel 4 better battery size.

  • Apple and Google are the wealthiest companies in the world, and can't make decent looking phones. Tragic!!!

  • I hope it performs well and battery is long enough. That 256gb rom and with 8gb ram would be excellent option. If only 128gb, I might just go for 3a instead.

  • Is that true the rear video cam ONLY 2160p @30fps ??? You should be serious Google

  • Bigger battery please! Grimstash

  • Battery life ? Already 4-5 hours max sot for my pixel 3xl. Oohhhh nooo 3700mah!!

  • Awesome phone, a true "smart" phone, I can't wait for it.

  • joke phone joke design, even bigger battery joke.....

  • ugly expensive no 3.5jack bye

  • Quad hd with 90hz is good. But wtf 3700mah battery? It wouldn't last more than 5 hours

  • Google... I suggest you to create "Design Event" and choose the best design submitted from users for future devices.

  • Since the main sim is an electronic one(esim) it already has dual SIM capability....

  • The design look old génération for pixel 4 xl

  • I want Google Pixel 4 XL dual sim option.

  • Screen should be 6.5" 19:9 or 6.3" 18:9.

  • America

  • Yes , I was hoping Google may change direction in features and design , But what can we say , the pixel 4 it appears is very Google pixel , just like all the rest. A bit uninspiring imo .

  • To each his own , for large hands bigger is better , and this trend of tall but narrow phone s doesn't help .

  • Currently using pixel 2 xl only cons are battery and ram management even iPhone se had good management compare to my pixel i dont think that 6-8 gb ram can compete with iphones and this is no option switch resolution between 2k to full hd

  • Google is great at making spyware apps!

  • ugly, in fact looks like ugliest iPhone (11 pro max by fruit is ugly)

  • Google Please put some big Battery in like 4500/5000 MAH. PLEASE&#128591;&#127996;PLEASE&#1285­91;&#127996;PLEASE&#128591;&#127996;­PLEASE

  • No 2160p @ 60 fps? Still? 0 progression since the original Pixel.

  • You can do better Google..

  • except software and software the phone is dead

  • This is what I'm waiting for... &#128536;

  • just the right size!

  • Where u from

  • Too big :)

  • Tell me the price please

  • too small

  • Its too costly.

  • When pixel 4 came out, only few talks about the bezels of the phone, when xperia 1 came out, everyone says it's ugly and old design with those bezels, wth,

  • looking more like samsung s9

  • False trade mark to call it "XL" - the (smallest) one of the sides is only 6,75 cm - just like a 5,4" screen in the good old 16:9 format - One would never have considered a 5,4" for XL

  • Issa no from me, dog. If I was asked to pick between this and the Blu Bold N1 or even the blu vivo. I would get one of those.

  • no 4k@60fps wow.google you can do better

  • By the Pixel 5, it will start looking like the Galaxy S8.

  • Good phone but ugly design.... If they want to stick to upper and bottom chin design language they should recruit Sony's chief designer and they would still get a better design....

  • I don't think there will be a 8GB RAM option. The extra RAM+storage option gets rumored and listed here for almost every Pixel and Nexus device in the past but never pans out.

  • Sony made the upper bezel mode ticker on Xperia 10 series, ppl said it was ugly. Now, i m waiting what ppl will gonna say about this one!

  • Look ugly

  • Well the fact that is still can only record @ 2160 30 is disappointing, they cant get 60 fps video with a SD 855! come on google you could've done it with the sd 845 on the pixel 3/xl.

  • ok with notch??

  • I hope this can do better than 2x optical zoom, if the rumors are true and it has 8x hybrid zoom. It would be great a 4x optical zoom and 8x hybrid zoom.

  • Awesome. Waiting despiretly. Still worry about price. But motion feature is really excited. Let us see how impressive!!!!!

  • UFS3.0 is i think incorrect information. Also base as we know from leaks is 64GB. P-OLED seems to be Pixel2XL leak &#128578;

  • Ok? Does the Xperia 1 have motion/depth sensors? Does it have the best cameras on a smartphone? Does it have a 90 hrz display? No, it doesn’t.

  • It houses a bunch of sensors that are used to detect motion and stuff like that

  • why such a huge bezel on top of screen.this looks awkward.

  • how long will we have to see this camera setup 12.2 MP, f/1.6, 28mm (wide), 1/2.55", 1.4µm aperture is ok, except the aperture, other values are expected as 20 MP, f/1.6, 24mm (wide), 3:2, 1.5µm

  • No sd slot nor jack A huge 90hz with a résolution Big 3700 should be 4300 at least People who complain for jack Many if not near all use it while charging -_

  • Xperia 1 design way more superior than Pixel 4 xL

  • I mean aesthetics, will it looks good!

  • Woeh... good looking phone the astetics were thoughtout carefully., nice job google.
