Google Pixel 4 & 4 XL 4 YEARS Later: It’s GREAT but...

[@sufyanpatel9706]

Using my Pixel 4 XL for nearly 3 years now and it's been fantastic. Face unlock is brilliant on it and the design. This phone would have been the best if Google added a bigger battery and a ultra wide lense. Still a great phone.

[@rossniem]

100% agree, such an underrated phone .

[@nicksyahrilstorror5183]

pixel 4 doesn't have ultrawide lens, isn't it?

[@DonieCrick]

​@@nicksyahrilstorror5183It has.

[@WolfMushroom369]

I just recently retired my Pixel 4 and upgraded to the pixel 8 pro, I'm thinking of fixing the battery on the pixel 4 and just used it as my navigation device on my bicycle. It was a great phone and never gave me any problems.

[@rossniem]

Yeah I’ve been using mine just for games recently.

[@ichimonjiguy]

The Pixel 4 XL is great. No "but"'s. In 2023, it's not for everyone. It's for those people who know how to use their phones. I forced 90Hz display, because that is what I paid for. I turned off the Silly radar, because it's just silly like the name suggested. My Pixel 4 XL has no battery issues. It's at least 48 hours between two charges. Did I say I love the face unlock? Yeah, it's super fast. And the camera. As soon as I received the phone, I took a few photos of the stuff I was going to sell online. In one sale, the phone paid for itself already.

[@rossniem]

I'm still giving soli a chance while I'm using this phone before I move onto the pixel 5 for the next video. Replying to this comment on the 4 XL 😄

[@justwantedtocreate3525]

the face unlock is the only reason i am not getting any other android right now cause pixel 4 and 4xl face unlock is soo good and so clean

[@ichimonjiguy]

@@justwantedtocreate3525 The forehead is jam-packed with the hardware: Face unlock IR camera x2; Face unlock dot projector; Face unlock flood illuminator.

[@alexlalonde4190]

Still using my 4xl today...best feature is that I don't have to remove my work gloves to unlock my phone. With the battery saver on at all times, it's battery isn't all that bad

[@rossniem]

I find that it’s the phone I pick up the most now, it’s just fun to use.

[@Lasermanprint]

I've still got the 4 XL it was awesome back in the day, I moved on to the Pixel 6 Pro and now the 8 Pro, I would use it now if push came to shove.

[@rossniem]

I used it for a few weeks again before my Pixel 8 turned up last week. It's great.

[@amrokas]

Telephoto lens was the only reason I pick this phone and it was my first and last pixel. 24-26mm main lens is wide. I shoot full frame camera and to me it is so stupid to put two wide lenses on in a phone. I use an ultra wide like 1% of the time.

[@shahezahmed9960]

not to forget this phone also had unlimited google photos storage

[@chancesareshewears]

My all time favourite phone...

[@jyoung92082]

I agree the 4 is the GOAT. Loved that phone

[@rossniem]

It's great to be using it again #TeamPixel

[@giftbox-e]

I just got it on second hand for about 180$, because of the Android 14 update that bricked my pixel 7 ("Pixel is starting" loop if you have multiple profile). And I honestly love this phone, as for the experience it is like 90% of the current pixel 7 flagship, except ofcourse the camera and chip. But I have a great experience! Especially with the matt finish & biometric face unlock is very impressive, I hope pixel 9 or 10 google will reimplement the infrared with the fingerprint sensor upgraded. Although Pixel 3XL still holds the best speaker for me. Also the sensor is neat, not necessary just ok. And for me that have been using Pixel 6 and 7, I really wish I could've gone for the Pro because personally I used Telephoto waaaaayymore than wide one I want to believe google to will bring back this face unlock sensors and squeeze feature. And update the fingerprint sensor. Hopefully Pixel 9 or atleast by pixel 10 when they change their chip from samsung.

[@rossniem]

Real face unlock would be a huge bonus, but an all Google chip is what I'm looking forward to most

[@semectual]

I have the Pixel 4 and yes, that 2800mah battery, you had to carry a charging brick or battery to frequently keep it charged. When it comes to the Android 13 and future updates and support from Google, RIP Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL.

[@rossniem]

Yeah it such a shame but it had a good run

[@centurytuna100]

Hi there, I've been wanting to have a 4 or the xl. How many hours can d battery last in a day use?

[@shahezahmed9960]

@@centurytuna100 around 3 hrs at max for pixel 4.

[@KanishkaKhadka]

Should i buy pixel 4 now? Please tell

[@rossniem]

The 4xl is a good buy.

[@tzov]

I'm writing to you from the Pixel 4 and it's great in every way and I use it as a secondary phone with the Pixel 8

[@dianaalyssa8726]

Orange looks divine. Have a 3A but shopping around again. I love large phones.

[@rossniem]

The orange one is a real statement!

[@unboxeverythingwithkuku]

Brother thinking to buy pixel for the first time, what should i choose between 4xl or 4a 5g?

[@rossniem]

I've not used the 4a 5a but everyone who uses it seems to love it.

[@musp-7]

p 4xl is better 'it simply a premium'

[@lido11]

Still remember those most powerful speakers ever heard from me

[@rossniem]

It's still my favourite

[@craigregnier3220]

I miss my Pixel 3XL

[@rossniem]

I’m looking for one to review on the channel!

[@footballshts]

How to get?

[@rossniem]

I got it on eBay, it's easier to make sure you get one that isn't too beat up. If you order one on Amazon the pictures are normally not of the phone you are buying.

[@dicksonbwalya7897]

I love pixel they are cool phones

[@rossniem]

💪

[@dicksonbwalya7897]

I use 3XL hopefully I want to upgrade to 4 XL

[@rossniem]

@@dicksonbwalya7897 the 4 XL is such a fun phone to use. You’ll love it!

[@5punkybob]

I traded in my 4xl for a iPhone 13 Pro 2 years ago and I want my 4xl back. 13 pro is great but I’m so bored with iOS.

[@rossniem]

The Pixel phones always draw me back to them, I just think they are more fun.

[@justwantedtocreate3525]

i had pixel 4 but changed it to pixel 4xl yesterday and loving the bigger battery

[@rossniem]

Yeah the bigger battery will be a massive upgrade from the 4. I'm still astonished by the speakers, was not expecting them to be this good.

[@justwantedtocreate3525]

@@rossniem yes I really love the pixel 4line up specially the face id makes it out stand than any other android out there

[@rossniem]

I've kept using it even after the review is done, that's how much I'm enjoying it.

[@kewehoque217]

Using the pixel 4 for about 2 months now Absolutely loving it. Despite all the battery problem I still really dig this phone. Yeah the battery is a big issue. Have to like charge it twice a day. But other then that it is a very if not the best mid range phones out there.

[@rossniem]

It's still feels super premium today.

[@DonieCrick]

How much take to charge 0-100%? And how long the battery lasts SOT?

[@Hud1849]

Best desing, touch to hold, but sadly horrible battery life ever!!!!
