Another Pixel 4 XL hands-on review details the screen, camera and chipset

11 September 2019
The screen will automatically enable 90Hz refresh rate when needed and drop to 60Hz to save battery. It's a 3,700mAh battery, by the way.

Why copy the ugly square box camera from iPhone11? Don't Google has a better taste than Apple?

    For $850, we would be getting 6 GB of RAM and 128GB of storage...sad.

    Probably the camera could be a deciding factor for some people who cannot/are hesitant to side-load Pixel camera app.

      1440p 90 Hz screen and only 3700mah battery? This will not last for a day. Why not put 4-5k mah battery into this beast GG?

        no 2nd sim card reader, no sdcard,no nothing that beats the competition on the market.

        even the chinese phone companies are providing phones that have more features, capabilities and better hardware for andriod than google's flagship phone.

        whomever is running the marketing and design department at google needs to be fired!!

          Google realizes that stealing data of a face is more valuable than a finger. Nevertheless, I'll probably get this device when GrapheneOS releases its stable builds.

                  Syel, 12 Sep 2019This actually looks beautiful!Definitely, especially with with that huge top bezel and iPhone style stupid camera patch at the back... No wonder Google barely sells any phones, don't know why they still bother after last year's flop with that insane looking notch...

                    Any mention of a wider colour range? Seen it touted many times, hopefully included.

                      Google seems happy to rest on their laurels a bit. I was hoping for a camera sensor boost. They just never seem to want to make anywhere close to an epic flagship. Which I get, but why try and sell at flagship prices.

                        Anonymous, 12 Sep 2019No surprise that's there's no 4K 60p since SOC can't handle... moreWhat? My 7 pro has 60 fps 4k and 1 year old op 6 has too? Are you smoking something?

                            I think it's time the selfie cameras got upgraded from the age old 8mp units

                              im looking forward to seeing what this camera can do, i will sideload the app on to my Note 10+ the galaxy camera is great but its let down by its post processing algorithms, the pixel3 app significantly improves the images on my N10+

                                So we get a big top bezel that makes the phone look somewhat ugly, but for that we get face unlock, better selfie camera, anything else because I would rather have a full screen bigger display instead of something I won't use anyway?

                                      Looks like google is doing what apple did with iphone, basically nothing special and not worth upgrading unless you got very old device or/and money to burn. I will stick with my pixel 2xl. I hope next year google and even apple does better.
