I bought Google Pixel 4 XL in the beginning of January 2020 and I am very happy with it. Of course, it depends on what expectations each individual has. However, this phone fulfils all my needs:
- awesome camera
- good looking phone design
- no edge-display and no notch
- large and sharp display with beautiful colours
- very loud stereo speakers
- good reception
- good call quality
- software runs smooth with android 10
- pure android with regular updates from Google
I self-optimized my phone so I get two whole days battery life on a normal usage.

Okay, school me on this phone, is it really worth buying? Looking for an objective review here. I know there are probably better value android phones out there but there's a few things I like about this phone, such as the squeeze functionality, now playing, motion sense, and the design appeals to me. I'm digging the panda look. However, battery life sounds mediocre and Google still running into QC issues.

Battery life Endurance rating 73h, what a shame !!! I assume
80% of smart phone users care about the battery in first place not latest CPU and the fastest. SD 6xx is fair enough for most of the users who use the mobile for texting, browsing and calling. Not for a high resolution games!!

iPhone 11 costs $100 less than the Pixel 4, maybe $200 compared to the 4 XL at launch.
Drawbacks include no fingerprint sensor, 818p LCD screen (only 60Hz), no telephoto camera (only 5x hybrid zoom), and only 2 antennas (subpar connectivity and GPS). But...
Face ID: definitely better than Google's face recognition, works flawlessly and very accurate.
Performance: ios is still more refined, Apple A13 chipset is still more capable all-around (maybe bested by Snapdragon 865). GPU is a beast, potentially still more powerful than Sd865).
Display: It's not that sharp, it leads to thicker bezels, and it's just 60Hz, but it has True Tone, and color accuracy is great. It also has no PWM flicker. Pixel's 90Hz display only works at a certain brightness, and it's poorly calibrated.
Build quality: iPhone is definitely stronger despite heavy. JerryRigEverything (Zack) has bent the Pixel 4 XL. Imagine if you put it in tight pants often, or accidentally sit or put pressure on the Pixel. The only weakness of the iPhone (all iPhones) are that fragile mute switch, which is a gimmick. Held the Pixel 3 and 3a before, and it is something to forget considering the price point.
Camera: Pixel 4 XL has telephoto, but Huawei P30 has done it better, and P30 has 30x (or 25, can't remember) hybrid zoom. P30 Pro has 50x. iPhone has only 5x, but video recording is peerless because of good OIS. Some Pixel 4 XL users seem to complain about purple tint in some cam shots (also according to Anandtech).
Design: There are many phones with bizzare design styles, so it's not a deal-breaker.
Again the price, unless you live in the US, the Pixel costs more than the iPhone. It is a tough sell in SE Asia countries, unfortunately.
OS: It is a personal preference, but ios is still more refined compared to even stock Android devices, though stock Android is already fast and efficient.
Battery: iPhone has a bigger battery and more efficient chipset. LCD screen may increase consumption by a margin, but the 11 Pro lasts longer, very long actually.
So iPhone 11 certainly is a better device, the Pixel 4 is not a good phone at all. Pixel 4 is only designed for Android purists but I wish Google steps up in terms of build quality and hardware.

2017 bezels: What happens when you put ... moreThat sounds like the biggest shill-post ever.
When Google's competitors are working to increase screen real-estate, Google are still trailing behind. Some phones are almost all screen (Galaxy Note 10, OnePlus 7 Pro) while others use a discreet notch instead of the old forehead design. I admit that it's preferable to Google's take on the notch - the ugliest, most obtrusive version ever seen.
Unauthorized access to someone's phone if that person is sleeping is a major security flaw. And it's a hell of a lot easier to hold a phone in front of a sleeping person's face than it is to press their fingerprint on the phone. Of course, you already knew this before you made such a disingenuous retort.
Just because YOU don't care for the bundled earbuds etc., doesn't mean nobody else does. There's literally no reason to include these basic accessories, other than Google cutting corners.

2017 bezels: What happens when you put a case on a phone that is almost all screen? It removes the advantage of having a full screen. The forehead on the Pixel 4 is imo better then a fucking notch.
No ultra-wide camera: So nobody cared about Ultrawide before this year. Why is it a big deal? Maybe 2% of the pics you'll take will be Ultrawide? LG had one but NOBODY CARED.
no 4K 60fps:. Ok So you actually record and watch a lot of videos in 4k 60fps? It's a nice to have but is nowhere near as important as a good solid UI.
no fingerprint scanner:. Indeed, it would of been nice to keep the one from the Pixel 3
unsafe face ID: Nooooo. If you have someone trying to open your phone at night while you sleeping, that same person could simply take your finger and open the phone with the fingerprint scanner. Btw, Samsung's fingerprint has been fooled by not a lot. This is a fucking false debate.
low brightness: None issue really. It does not get as bright as the Note 10 but is more then enough even in Daylight.
average battery life: Sooooo everyone posting about having approx 6h30 sot with 90hz forced is bad??? Go read actual persons using the phone... it's on par with the other good phones...maybe a tad less good.
gimmicky motion sense:. For swapping music, yep. For knowing when you are close to the phone, it is pretty freaking incredible. I've been really enjoying everything about it with the music stuff as the exception.
Earbuds and 3.5mm adapter are so small things that who cares. Maybe it's because I like listening to music in something that sounds at least decent but I've never used the earbuds that came with my phones.
What does the Pixel 4xl offers? A absolutely amazing smooth experience with incredible performance, incredible camera and more then ok battery. What else do you want?

Pixel 4 XL - 90hz, 3700 mAh, best main camera on a phone, can be obtained on sale even for $600. Called crap.
OnePlus 7T - 90hz, 3800 mAh (bigger screen than the Pixel), cameras not so great, less opportunities for a good deal ($500-550). Called the God of smartphones.

Bottom line it's a fantastic phone with many great features. Prices dropping and decent contract deals available now. Only con is battery life. If that's important to you don't buy it. For me it's not a major issue as have charging access most days.

There aren't BAD phones but they are ridiculously overpriced. Google thinks it copy Apple and charge Apple prices when their hardware and software are still trailing behind.
