Google Pixel 4 review

29 Nov 2019


Sort by:

For the first time, I think I actually like a Pixel phone. The whole design just looks very distinct and well-defined, and has a coherent design language. It's clearly not trying to look like any other phone.

Pretty sure most people (including me) would prefer wide angle rather than a macro/telephoto lens, as there is simply just more use-case scenarios with the wide angle. If you want to zoom, do it digitally, or go buy a telephoto stick-on lens.

      Ultra-wide is pretty useless. Might as well be a macro cam as far as im concerned. Telephoto is good, but I still mainly just care about the main cam.

        Hope your Pixel 5 will have something to impressed.

          I'm amazed at so much anger about a phone. I understand not everyone being into it but some things are just blown out of proportion. I have the pixel 4 and I like just about everything about it except the battery which is subpar and the lack of included items in the box. Looks which are subjective look fine to me. Google has gotten the whole quirky look going for it that is iconic. There are plenty of phones that look alike which makes the pixel stand out in this market.

            Anonymous, 01 Dec 2019Funny, I ordered my px4 the first day of the black Friday s... moreWhen I said black Friday I'm meaning sales 😂 not the actual day. The price dropped to $599 on 11/24.

              DanishBeacon, 15 Dec 2019How can this phone get 4 stars? Complete garbage. Battery ... moreThat is because Pixel phones aren't about the hardware, but software.

              And that software is something that is completely up to you. You don't like the software? There no point to look at this device.

                How can this phone get 4 stars?
                Complete garbage. Battery endurance rating 62?
                Max brightness 460 or something like that... Compare that with OnePlus 7t or Galaxy 10
                No place for 2 simcard, no real 90hz screen, no headphone jack nor dingle inside, 4/64 or 6/128Gb options only? 18w charging while we are getting 27-50w with the competition...
                What year is this? 2016?

                  "Pixels have never exactly been good-looking phones."
                  This summs it all up!

                    Anonymous, 09 Dec 2019Is an overpriced cheap phone. Old sensors, low RAM, cheap c... moreExactly!
                    How can anyone throw $1k on this garbage is beyond me.
                    For the record, anyone who throws $1000 or more on a smartphone and is not working on reviews or making videos on YouTube about it is brain-dead!
                    There are plenty cheaper ways to check your FB and Instagram, just saying.

                      Geric.770, 30 Nov 2019Well, if the price is right like this year that is. Pixel ... moreNah, too low end and it wouldn't be a good experience. As for software experience, I don't see any reason why they can't do both that and make a good mid-range phone

                        Popped into some stores yesterday to take a look. I gotta admit. It has to be the most beautiful looking phone I have ever seen. Specially the smaller model. I'm glad google ere not go with cheap looking all shiny mirror backs, same same out their.

                          Been using R4X for pretty while, and i also have plenty feedback from my friend's Prime.
                          It's a pain in the #ss, especially, like any Chinese phone, notifications.
                          Not to mention 0 resell value after.
                          P4 is a great lineup again, especially if you get it discounted

                            Dolanescu, 10 Dec 2019Don't talk about Xiaomi and OnePlus... only bad experience ... moreBeen using Xiaomi phones since 2011, never had problem with it. Your anecdotal evidence doesn't mean xioami software is bad.

                            Both OnePlus and Xiaomi offer better software than Samsung. I own an S10 as well. Although the new One UI is better than any software experience on Samsung, OnePlus and Xiaomi are slightly better than One UI.

                            All three manufacturers make great quality phones. Stop that propaganda of yours against Xiaomi and Samsung.

                              just got december update. face unlock improved.

                                Anonymous, 10 Dec 2019One plus, Samsung and xiaomi would like to disagree with you...Don't talk about Xiaomi and OnePlus... only bad experience with them...

                                I had a very bad experience (software experience) with Xiaomi... after a year I was unable to cast anything on any TV... lots of bugs... I switched to OnePlus (because on paper it looks great also)... OnePlus is 10 steps over Xiaomi... but can't be compared with a pixel...

                                About Samsung... what can I say... great quality... great specs... and that's all...

                                I use the assistant for almost all tasks... initiate calls/send messages/reminders/notes/cast youtube videos on my tv... house temperature... without touching the display...

                                So... my opinion is that the result is what really matters... not the specs...

                                    I have ordered Pixel 4 XL thru Fi, they claimed they have delivered my phone and signed by "reception a"! well my name is not "reception a" and I have not received my phone which I paid $1,100 (including taxes). that can happen for any shipment, worst part is how Fi reacted when I reached to their support. The only information they provide is "we have escalated this case to shipment department and they will contact you via email"!!! that's it. no explanation on how long it will take or what they have found so far and they havent send a replacement yet! They have the worst customer support I have seen. I am already regretting buying from Fi and suggest never buy anything from Fi if you care about customer support.

                                      This has to be the worst phone to preorder. The price literally drops 20% or more two weeks after release. Why does Google let this happen to it's flagship product?

                                        Is an overpriced cheap phone. Old sensors, low RAM, cheap chassis and construction, small battery... even a cheated 90Hz display.
