The Pixel 4 is AMAZING // ONE-MONTH LATER

There's no question that the Pixel 4 lineup has been fairly polarizing. But, what are they like after using them as daily drivers for an entire month?

Yes there are several KZbinrs publishing content similar to this one, at the same time, the production of his videos is above everyone else I've watched, probably MKBHD and D2D are the only ones that can be compared to him.

Hands down, the best review I've seen. Doesn't matter the phone at this point Sam, you bring quality and honesty to the reviews you do. They seem much more natural and much better put together (creatively) than the rest, regardless what camera they use to shoot their reviews (cough cough, red cameras, cough).

Very detailed review 😊 in regards to battery, I have a 4XL and I'm getting around 7 hours of on screen time. It always lasts a full day and I get a good usage out of it. The adaptive battery gets better everyday. By far the best phone out there! The best of Apple and Android combined.

[@marksouthwell4490]

My pixel 4 ( not XL) lasts me all day . To me the phone suits my needs . I'm a moderate user . It takes fantastic photos and I find telephoto very useful ! I don't think ' I ' need an Uber sized battery 😊

I've used every pixel since it first launched, and have never experienced the issues in any of them that were previously reported, but the decision to put the small battery almost turned me off the phone. Almost, the camera is well worth the phone.

[@LastOfADyingBeard]

I've been using the 4XL since launch and I am coming from a 2XL (I skipped the 3 b/c of the hideous notch). I have to say that the 4XL is a HUUUGE upgrade from the 2XL. Performance is undeniably better, the display is beautiful and of course, the camera is again one of the best ever. As far as battery life is concerned that is always going to be subjective to each individual user's usage of their device, ie location/GPS, Bluetooth, etc. I have been getting excellent battery life myself. Easily getting 5.5 - 6 hrs SOT and a full days use out of a full charge. Unless I play games for like 3-4 hrs straight which I sometimes do when traveling on the train/bus. Then my battery will discharge MUCH FASTER of course. But, the onboard fast charge, as well as wireless charge, make topping up a breeze. The design seems fine to me given there is NO NOTCH and the black/white panda look is still alive and well with the matte black side rails, the black camera module and matte white finish! It is still very much the Pixel design language imho. Then the addition of the 6GB makes loading apps and ram management much better! The 90hz display and motion sense are just added bonuses to me. I won't die without a 90hz panel but it's nice to have. And this panel is much much better than the Pixel 2XL. And the feel of the design is out of this world. This has to be the best feeling phone in hand I have ever owned. It feels like a cool slab of marble. Industrial, minimal and utilitarian.... I really enjoy the design quite a bit! This is what a "premium" device should feel like in your hands. It's hard to explain the feeling of a phone in hand but, I promise, it's just really nice! It has some heft to it also. It's not heavy but, you know you're carrying it..

[@TheKittu4]

I'm using the 2xl. Had the 6p before this. But I'm not sure if I should get the 4xl or wait for the next one bec of the battery. I love Google phones and their cameras more than any other, and I've used all. I'm confused af.

[@lyd1q409]

can i ask you a question? - the pixel 4 camera is upgrade and more good quality on the photos and videos, over the pixel 2xl ? - what is the difference of two cameras in general ? :)

A very well thought out and informative video. I have a Pixel 3A cell phone which is my first Pixel that I have owned. I'm thinking of upgrading to a Pixel 4XL for the updated camera. I'm trying to decide if I should get the 4XL or the 4A XL.... Regards, Duane

[@sambeckman]

In all honesty, I probably wouldn't upgrade just for the camera, as the telephoto lens is the only real upgrade, and you can already get great zoomed in photos on the 3A. I'd consider waiting for the 5XL later this year, which will hopefully have a wide angle lens as well 👌🏻
