The Google Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL: A Comprehensive Look at the Latest Flagships
Google has officially announced its latest flagship phones, the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL, at the Pixel event. The new devices have been leaked earlier, but now we can get a detailed look at what they have to offer.
Display and Design
The Pixel 4 features a 90Hz display, which provides a smoother and more fluid viewing experience. This technology is also used in other phones such as the OnePlus 7 Pro and Oneplus 6T. The display mate rating for the Pixel 4's screen has been given an A+ rating, making it one of the highest-rated displays on the market. The phone's design is sleek and modern, with a matte finish that reduces fingerprints. However, the black model's glossy finish may be a drawback for some users.
Battery Life
The Pixel 4 XL has a slightly larger battery than its smaller counterpart, with an 18 hour battery life according to Google. This may not seem like a lot compared to other phones on the market, but it's worth noting that 90Hz displays can consume more power. The phone's battery is also dynamically adjusted based on usage patterns, so users can expect optimal performance throughout the day.
Performance
The Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL are powered by the Snapdragon 855 processor, which provides fast performance and efficient battery life. The phones also come with six gigabytes of RAM, making them well-suited for heavy users. However, some may find that six GB is not enough for demanding tasks like gaming or video editing.
Camera System
One of the standout features of the Pixel 4 series is its camera system. The phone boasts a 16-megapixel primary camera and an 8-megapixel telephoto lens, making it one of the best cameras in the industry. However, some may be disappointed to find that there is no wide-angle lens on the phone's rear side.
The front-facing camera has been improved with a wider lens, similar to the Pixel 3's Super Wide Angle Lens. The camera app also features a new What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get viewfinder, which allows users to preview HDR+ exposure before taking a photo. This feature is not available on other phones in the same way.
Additional Features
The Pixel 4 XL has an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance, making it safe to use in wet conditions. The phone also features wireless charging, but only at 18 watts, which may be slower than some competitors offer.
Display Technology
The Pixel 4 features a unique display technology that allows it to adjust its refresh rate based on usage patterns. This means that when the phone is not under heavy load, the screen will adjust its refresh rate to save energy.
In conclusion, the Google Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL are impressive flagship phones that offer fast performance, excellent camera capabilities, and sleek design. While some may find the battery life to be lacking compared to other phones, the display technology and camera features make up for it.
"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enbecause we're here they made by Google pixel event and they've just announced the pixel at four and the pixel for Excel now these funds have been leaked and leaked you probably know a ton about them but if you don't know a lot about them they've got these ninety Hertz displays they've got Snapdragon 855 we've got six gigabytes of RAM and they've got batteries that are probably a little bit small the battery only regular picks up for is twenty eight hundred million powers and the battery on the XL is thirty seven hundred million powers so the second one the XL is actually pretty decent the small one the battery is a little bit tiny so we're gonna have to see if that actually holds up over the course of a day and thank goodness there is no notch on this phone it's just got a little bit of a chin on the top but there's no chin on the bottom of the phone which is really nice to see here now of course the big features of the pixel port are going to be the soli radar chip that is in the phone that helps with things like face unlock and also allows you to skip songs on Spotify and interact with other apps I'm sure Google is probably going to find a lot more use cases of for this phone over time and they said it will be updated just very nice to see and of course the other really awesome thing about pixel phones in general is the camera system they've got a 16 megapixel regular camera system on the back and they've also got an 8 megapixel telephoto camera so this is the first pixel that has two cameras on the back of the phone and it doesn't have a wide-angle camera which kind of sucks especially considering all the other flagships this year are coming out with three cameras but Google things that they do the camera a lot better than a lot of other competitors anyway we've got a few new features in the camera system right here and actually did an article with Mark Lavoie who actually makes the Google camera about how all these features work so make sure you go over to the website and check it out one of the features is the what-you-see-is-what-you-get viewfinder which means that hdr+ is always on you'll always be able to see hdr+ in the viewfinder so now you know if this guy's going to be exposed you know if you're blowing out anything but with a chair plus you shouldn't be blowing out anything anyway so that's really nice another thing is that you're going to get two new toggles when you actually click on something so if you click on a subject you'll get these two toggles you get brightness and you get shadows so effectively you're editing the photo before you even take it and that's something you can't get on pretty much any other phone out there right now or any other camera out there for that matter but you're basically editing the photo before you even take the shot now the front facing camera on last year's pixel 3 was super wide you had a super wide I knew at a regular one on this one there's only one front-facing camera but Google said that it's almost as wide as the super wide camera in the pixel 3 but not quite as wide and that's going to be the default mode is going to be the super wide mode because Google said that a lot of people really really liked that there's some other things that are nice about the pixel forward pixel for Excel is that they are ip68 water in dust resistance you'll be able to take it in the shower with you if you want to play music or something like that and that they have wireless charging now unfortunately you're still just getting 18 watt wired charging in this phone so you're not gonna get any of these superfast charging that you're getting a lot of other phones so I think Google is lagging a little bit behind in that aspect now the feeling is actually pretty nice this Oso orange color is not glossy it's actually more of a matte but it has a smooth finish and you definitely can't see any fingerprints on that whereas the black model is glossy and that's kind of unfortunate because every single time I picked up that phone I just got fingerprints all over it so I would probably pick up a phone like the Oso orange color if you want to avoid the fingerprints but this color is definitely going to be a bit controversial now something Google did do that is very up to date with other manufacturers is include a 98 Hertz display and they also said that the display mate rated this display as an A+ rating which is the highest rating that display mate gives right now but it's really nice to have a 90 Hertz display in your phone because we've used phones like the oneplus 70 and the oneplus 7th row they also have 90 Hertz displays it was just so much more fluid now that doesn't use more battery life so Google says that they're dynamically changing what apps are going to use 90 Hertz and they'll turn it off when you don't need it so for example if a video is playing and it's only playing at 60fps or lower it's gonna turn off that 90 Hertz display to save you some energy well my mic cut out the event but if you want to order one of these things you can get the pixel for starting at $7.99 for the 64 gigabyte model which is a little bit low storage for the pressure painting there but the 128 gigabyte model is going to cost $8.99 and if you want to upgrade to the pixel for excel in size you we'll be able to get the 64 gigabyte model XL for $8.99 and the 128 gigabyte model for $9.99 now pre-order started today but they will actually be on sale in stores on October 24th so if you preorder it you should be getting it around October 24th if you want to buy one we have a bunch of links over at Android authority comm it helps us gives us a little kickback if you help us out there so head over there if you want to preorder one of these phone of course huge shout out to minimal case for bringing us here today they make cases for all different types of phones they've got cases for pixel for and they've got a clear one so if you really want to see the color of your Oso orange pick support make sure you check them out they are super super light and super thin minimal case\n"
