What UI? It's literally pure Android. There is no actual UI to speak of. It's the best way to use Android in my opinion.

Still loving my Pixel 3. And I own the iPhone SE1 and 7 just for gaming or music. I think after using iOS14 and planning to customize my widgets for my home screen, I still would prefer using Pixel.
I prefer typing on Android because SwiftKey is superior on it than on iOS. More robust settings. I also hate how annoying it is to use copy and paste on iOS. I told myself I would exclusively go foldable someday like Michael Fisher tried to do. But everything Michael Fisher has enjoyed, it flopped or the novelty wore off.
I'll still stick to Pixel for life as I've been saying since 2017. I bet if I have a Razr or Z Flip, the novelty of it being a flip phone will wear off. I don't like Google but I have no other choice. It's only Android and iOS to choose from. The Pixel is the iPhone of Android.

"The 90Hz refresh rate is a nice touch, but it's not the 'smoothest' implementation around. We're not sure what it is, but there's a noticeable difference in smoothness compared to, say, the OnePlus 7 Pro."
I have a Oneplus 7 Pro and can say with 100% certainty that it is 90Hz. It may feel smoother due to Oxygen OS, the more powerful chipset, the higher resolution, or something, but they have the same refresh rate. Bad comparison.

And it's such a selling point in my opinion and such an achievement, it makes the phone really beautiful. Up until 5mins ago all the reviewers were complaining about chins and asymmetry but now that it's finally not a problem anymore and to that was made with such perfection all are silent. Give praise were it's due!

I got the 4 yesterday for $370 after taxes on eBay. I can't speak to the battery life yet but my Pixel 3 had 70% health so the life will be better than what I had.

Have to hard disagree. I've had every over phone and the 4xl was much better. Battery life aside, that was the best pixel phone. Better features, premium feel and faster.

Matt James Paradise, 11 Feb 2021And her I am using a pixel with sd821.It's still a nice phone with decent camera :-P
It kinda shows that Google was 5 years ahead when it comes to photography compared to any competition.
+ It's really hard to get rid of that unlimited storage, right?
