Hz, the frequency is also fairly low, which might lead to some problems for users with sensitive eyes. Unfortunately, I have to admit that I wasn’t able to get far enough away from the city this week to really test it, but here is a shot from the pier by the Ferry Building in San Francisco — despite the light pollution, it managed to capture some stars even though the moving clouds.
This can be tweaked to take more or less force to activate (we set it to lower sensitivity as we kept accidentally activating it when picking the handset up). Included in the box of the Pixel 4 XL are a USB charger with the corresponding USB Type-C cable, an OTG adapter, and a SIM tool. Both sides are easy to understand and we did not notice any additional noises or anything like that. Since the introduction of the Pixel 4, Google has delivered various updates, which in addition to installing the security patches also removed some smaller bugs and brought some performance improvements. Compared to the smartphones from the competitors, the wide frame above the display stands out, which is due to the built-in sensors built-in underneath the screen.The Google Pixel 4 XL is a curious step for Google that minimizes the physical design while striking out in new territory with experimental features. I’ve gotten about four hours of screen-on time, which translates to about a day of use if you don’t push it. The first had terrible build quality, the second had display issues, and the third a poor battery experience. The refresh rate of the screen is 90Hz, the industry standard, so sure to deliver a superb level of smoothness when using the device. With the longer battery life and the brighter display, the Pixel 4 XL has a clear advantage compared to the smaller model.
It’s easy to get depth effects from basic shots and the camera preserves the foreground with stunning clarity - we’ve gotten some truly spectacular water shots.
The camera placing and square design also gives Google a bit of shared DNA with Apple’s latest, but it’s still distinctive, and helps give the phone an overall solid and contrast-y look. During the Google Pixel 4 XL review period, our smaller unit reliably got around four and a quarter hours of screen-on time per day with a ~12-hour cycle. Over time, Android’s Adaptive Battery should learn your app usage habits and improve battery life, but there’s no getting around the fact these results are pretty average. Google opted to go with a 2x telephoto lens, which is the opposite of the trend of putting ultrawide lenses into phones.
The battery in the Google Pixel 4XL is an impressive 3700mAh, which is certain to last through a full day of intensive use, even with the high-tech specs included in the Pixel 4XL. We did note selfies occasionally left some subjects looking a little plasticky while others were fine. As for the front-facing camera suite, to make room for the Soli radar chips placed alongside the front-facing lenses, the two selfie shooters present in last year’s model have been reduced to just one 8MP camera. This means you can adjust individual elements of the photo before you even take it, which is something that can’t even be done with traditional cameras. With our Netgear Nighthawk AX12 reference router, the Google smartphone achieves an average of 631 Mb/s when receiving and 317 Mb/s when sending data.
I do think they’re a little too dim, especially in bright sunlight, but otherwise I don’t have any complaints.
Given how much Google trumpeted the ultra-wide effect achieved by the Google Pixel 3 XL’s dual-lens selfie, it’s a shame the company quietly diminished it in the new model, though the drop to 90-degree FOV (down from 97 in its predecessor) isn’t as bad as it could be. There’s blood in the water and every other manufacturer, including Apple, has picked up the scent of it. This time around it’s added a telephoto lens to take a bit of strain off its software, and without getting into strenuous detail the shots are detailed and great. While the quality is not quite as high as in the Huawei P40 Pro, for example, the main camera with 12 MP plus 16 MP delivers very good pictures overall. Google uses math to combine the extra data it can pick up from hand-shake (or moving the OIS manually) on zoomed-in images to add more detail than would otherwise be possible.
The reason the Pixel’s face unlock feels so fast is that when you pick up the phone, it simply jumps right into what you were doing before without requiring you to tap or swipe on the screen at all. The alarm-muting function works like a charm, but controlling music is worse than hit-or-miss: we often accidentally skipped songs while absently moving our hands around the phone. Pixel phones, like the Pixel 7 or Pixel 7 Pro, are known for their clean Android interface, excellent cameras, and AI features.
