The hype surrounding the Pixel 4 camera is grossly exaggerated... The images from the One Plus 7T / Pro camera look considerably better both in good light and low light... So much for Google's dominance in photography... Most Chinese manufacturers have caught up and in some cases exceeded the bar Google once set...

SigmaR, 30 Oct 2019The battery itself is not bad at all. Some companies can sq... more2K display with 90Hz refresh rate along with face ID potentially being on all the time because Google (lol)...3,700 mAH was not going to be enough and I called it. Same with the Xperia 1 with its 4K display and abysmal 3,300 mAH battery. If phones are going to use powerful panels, you HAVE to have a bigger battery. Asus ROG, iPhone 11 series, and Nubia Red Magic figured that out. Don't know why Google couldn't figure it out.

Julian M, 30 Oct 20194/5 seems awfully generous given the phone's shortcomings (... moreI agree. I returned my pixel 4 xl after few days and am back to my pixel 2xl. will wait for pixel 5 and unless the 2xl breaks down, don't need a phone but for a better battery life tbh. Loompaoompa

I have the Pixel 4 XL 128GB in Clearly white and definitely am happy with the phone. Pixels have never been about competing in mere paper specs but rather about offering a great user experience with great camera. The Pixel 4 is definitely an upgrade over the Pixel 3. Great camera, great software and much better battery than reviewers give it credit for. I have used many phones and generally they all are good in specific areas but Pixels have been my favorite recently.

The only reason why Google was praised was the camera and now, even the 7T Pro beat it on some shots. So why bother buying such a crap? Google is seriously garbage even Apple was able to make this years Iphones very interesting. Apple over Google anyday.

Mate 30 Pro has better battery life. I prefer Mate 30 Pro for longevity.

I sense a language barrier issue here...
You're just giving me tech specs of a random Huawei phone.
I'm saying the phone is not in a 4.0 state at the moment, and the star ratings in general are pointless and useless and should be ignored or removed all together, they diminish the integrity and credibility of the reviewer. Same goes for movies and video game ratings. "This game is 90%"... 90% of what? Good? Bad? 90% action? 90% sex scenes? Buying games or renting a movie based on stars and imdb points is idiotic, same as buying a phone based on that. It's personal preference and tastes and needs, not everyone cares about the same features in the same way. Coldn't care less about the camera on my phone, or a headphone jack, for example. Yeah, I'm one of those weirdos.

123, 30 Oct 2019I disagree. Star rating is very good and fair 4.0! too many... moreNot talking about Mate30 here, never mentioned it, not sure why you're bringing it up. I steer clear from Xiaomi, Huawei and such, since I had a couple and hated them, also the notches and puncholes make me sick, still waiting for that useless fad nobody asked for to go away.
The 4.0 rating on this phone makes no sense if you read the entire review, it should be lower. A lot. It's a mediocre phone to start with, with added broken feafures, bad battery life and serious security issue. A 4.0 phone should be acceptable for the majority of people to buy, considering the price as well. Nobody should buy this phone for that price in the state that it's in right now, until Google fixes their stuff and lowers the price. That was my point regarding star ratings, i don't care about if this phone is good or not or what other brands are better. The ratings in general make very little sense and are misleading, which is very obvious in this case. That's my point.
Does this thing even have IP6x rating??? Oh right, and the storage options, forgot about that...yeah...Google really wants you tu buy that cloud storage, really badly. They're pulling an "Apple" here, but hey Google, you're not Apple and your user base is very different than Apple's, that shyte don't fly with us. We're capable of installing an SD card into a device, thank you.

KnightX, 30 Oct 2019Iphones are no match against Huawei Mate 30 pro you can cry... moreSaw lot of camera comparison between mate 30 pro vs iPhone 11pro Max and note 10 plus both phones kills mate 30 pro when it comes to camera especially in video even though mate 30 pro comes with 4K@60fps still not as good as iPhone 11pro Max and note 10 plus 4K@60fps plus mate 30 pro has some issue in darker scene.
