Thank you for signing up to TechRadar. Given it’s not used anywhere else on the phone, it’s something of a stillborn addition, and while more apps could code in functionality, the onus is on Google to make this feature resonate enough for users to learn it. Andrew is the Executive Editor, U.S. at Android Central. 6 months in, the Pixel 4 XL doesn't command the same price it did at launch. The added telephoto lens produces sharper zoomed images and truer portrait mode effects, while Night Sight has improved, too. The big display also makes use of the faster refresh rate. Google Pixel 4 XL (left), Google Pixel 4 (right). The Pixel 4 and 4 XL's displays refresh at a rate of 90 times a second, while most phones refresh 60 times a second. Several years ago, Google introduced its Soli radar technology on stage at Google IO - and now it’s finally here, implanted in a pair of chips on either side of the Pixel 4 XL's front-facing camera. Users will have to set it up beforehand, and it’s only available in the US at the moment. Otherwise, the OLED screen is gorgeous, as expected, with HDR support that shows streaming media and photos in vivid clarity. It’s even more erratic than Face Unlock, though users will narrow down the action area and precise hand motions needed to control the device through trial and error. Here's where to buy one, and all the accessories you'll need for it, too! You want the latest updates as soon as they're available Read our full Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus review. There’s a SIM slot on the right that, sadly, doesn’t support microSD. The Google Pixel 4 is an evolution of this logic with an unblemished back and a more conservative - but clean - return to hiding the front-facing camera in a black top bar. Long-term look Google Pixel 4 XL review, 6 months on: A love-hate relationship Google's strengths, and weaknesses, remain after several months. Unfortunately, due to the current trade tiff between the US and China (and Huawei in the sanction spotlight), it’s unclear if the phone’s Android pipeline will be shut down in the future, making it harder to recommend the P30 Pro, which could lose out on all-important security updates as well as the big annual feature versions. That essentially guarantees you’ll need to juice your phone back up at least once during the day, which is disappointing. In addition, the two sliders to adjust shadows and highlights give me a useful extra layer of control. Dimensions: The Pixel 4 XL is slightly bigger and heavier than the Pixel 4, measuring 6.3 by 2.9 inches to the Pixel 4's 5.7 by 2.7-inch body. The new 16MP f/2.4 telephoto lens offers a 2x optical zoom, and hits a hybrid zoom of up to 8x. Thanks to the price wars heating up in the mid- to low-premium space, more manufacturers are cutting costs by reintroducing materials like aluminum and plastic. Back to the Google Pixel 4 XL and its color-catching capabilities. It also takes outstanding photos, and its face unlock is the fastest we've seen. Source: Andrew Martonik / Android Central. The other new features are less broadly helpful, like the new live captioning in the Recorder app (also coming to Pixel 3): when you tap record, you can tab over to ‘transcript’ and see the phone translate audio into words. The Google Pixel 4 XL release date is Thursday, October 24 and the price starts at $899 / £829 / AU$1,279 for the measly 64GB of storage model. What it does have is more lenses, and a very generous 5x optical zoom lens. But things have improved dramatically since launch, and it changed my overall opinion on face unlock — now the app authentication is as fast and seamless as my lock screen, which is fantastic. It’s notable that the Pixel 4 XL’s 1440 x 3040 resolution (537 pixels per inch) is greater and sharper than the standard Pixel 4’s 1080 x 2280 display (with 444 pixels per inch), but at these sizes you aren’t going to notice much of a difference, and Google isn’t pushing its VR platform anymore, so it’s not inches from your face. With the last feature-filled software update Google added the ability to pause and play media with an open-palm tap down toward the screen, and it actually works! The Google Pixel 4 XL’s camera suite remains the standout perk of the phone. We have rounded up some of the best deals that are currently available. But oh, what photos they are – combined with the Super Res Zoom introduced in the Pixel 3, zoomed-in photos are much crisper. It also packs Samsung’s UI overlay and all the fun shortcuts that come with the S Pen stylus, like taking notes and using it as a photo remote. For the past several years, the best phones have been metal and mostly glass sandwiches. I would like to receive news and offers from other Future brands. The Pixel 4 is still my favorite smartphone camera. Prolonged camera usage, lots of music streaming, Google Maps navigation, some gaming, or a little hotspot use, and there's zero chance I'm going to make it through the day without charging. They’re cool to have, just disparate in their focus. The Google Pixel 4 XL starts at $899 and its release date was Oct 24, 2019. Original story follows. By Google’s own admission (via a disclaimer in the Face Unlock settings page), it can be unlocked while a user’s eyes are closed, like while they’re sleeping…or dead. Apple’s big phone also has a more versatile suite of lenses and all the benefits of iOS, if that matters (it will for Apple Watch owners, say). Its cameras are still excellent, and remain one of the biggest reasons to buy this phone. But the screen's brightness really isn't up to speed — I regularly have trouble seeing the screen outside without shading it, even with the brightness maxed out. The Google Pixel 4 XL has nearly the same OLED 6.3-inch size and same QHD+ resolution as its predecessor, though it’s slightly longer at a 19:9 ratio. Combine that with a Pixel 4 XL optional setting to delete backed-up photos when storage becomes limited (starting with the oldest) and users can mitigate the phone’s low storage woes. Instead, consider the Note 10 or the OnePlus 7T. © The Pixel 4 XL’s main shooter is still 12.2MP though the aperture has been improved slightly to f/1.7.
