Pixel 4 and 4 XL go official with 90Hz OLED screens and new telephoto cameras

The wide and tele cameras will be backed by new image processing hardware and software. An S855 chipset and a new Pixel core will do the processing.

      I think that GSMArena's focus on the the drop selfie camera as just too much like in Note 10 plus. Move on it hurts NOT even a bit. Why dont you concentrate on the 45W that doesnt want to work!?

No photographer will use smartphone for critical or paid assignments anyway.

        For me, personally its smartphone and/or dSLR, modern smartphone pretty much make compact camera meaningless for most until manufacturers start implementing some sort of AI.

          Rest is comparitvely similar.
          Gcam magic definitely doing its job with K20 pro.

          Which one of the pics had true to life colors? My guess is on the Dslr.

                Anonymous, 15 Oct 2019Because Apple does not use either. Pixel is made to be the... moreAnd soon Samsung will kill SD card since Samsung has the largest storage of any smartphone around 1TB and don’t forget that Samsung the only OEM’s that made there own internal storage.

                  It seems to me the best deal is getting the Pixel 3 at half price. Being one-year behind has its benefits at saving you hundreds of dollars. I got my 3 at half price six months ago thanks to a Google Fi birthday promo. All these people trashing the Pixel 3 & 3 XL won't for long after they start owning it.

                  The thing I hate Google is doing is with their inconsistency. No unlimited storage in original size for Google Photos. No Daydream support. No more USB-C headphone included like the 3 had. No more dual front speakers that the 2 & 3 had. No more fingerprint scanner. And they added Telephoto but removed the wide-angle at the front!

                  It seems to me the 3 is the better buy just like the Note9 is over the Note10. I'm extremely happy with Pixel 3 other than the battery life could be better. I'd rather have a wide-angle over a 2x Telephoto any day. The only compelling feature the 4 has to me is the 90 hz display. The motion gestures just seems gimmicky that I already saw six years ago.

                  Save your money and get the Pixel 3 if it's only $50 more than a 3a. For features Google added on the 4, they also removed some that the 2 & 3 had. The Pixel 3 is still the best Pixel ever made followed by the original Pixel. Too bad so many people who never owned it trashed it and it became a sales flop. With the price cuts, the 3 should sell better and more people will see what I realized six months ago. Best Pixel ever.

                            "The Pixel 4 has a small 2800mAh battery" *Facepalm* I even find 3700mAh too small for the Pixel 4XL, and both phones don't even hv a fingerprint reader or headphone jack or microSD slot(I need all these)

Software is built on top of hardware, and with the correct AI, software will push way beyond what a hardware can achieve by itself.

                              The key here is if large sensor camera can have such kind of AI processing, they will beat small sensor anytime, but till date there is none of such cameras.

                              And talking about shooting at same ISO, of course large sensor have the advantage, but in a smartphone, very often the camera do not go to such high ISO due to the superior processing. For my test shot, my LAP only shot at iso1700, whereas my D600 have to hit ISO6400 just to achieve reasonable shutter speed for hand holding.
