GooglePixel 4 XL - Just Black - 128GB - UnlockedEPEAT

I was upgrading from the Pixel 3aXL which was a good phone. But the 4XL has a much better display and the screen looks a lot better. The face unlock is also very good. I've had great difficulty with face recognition with other phones, they don't read my face, or I have to do it 2-3 times before it will unlock. The Pixel 4XL will read your face each and every time. I like the option of picking up the phone and two taps wakes it up, one look and face ID opens right up. There are also a ton of other features on this phone that I'm still learning about, quick gestures, call screen, active edge, Turn on Flip to Shhh, and more. I like what I see so far! A lot has been said of this phone and it's terrible battery life. But the true reality is the battery is almost exactly the same as the 3aXL, and with extensive use it only lasts one day. But I found a way to make it better, I set the refresh rate to stay at 60 HZ, honestly for my use I can't tell the difference. PLUS, I set the display settings to adaptive brightness. Now the battery is VERY good, it easily gets me through the whole day with battery left over. Running at only 60 HZ and modifying the brightness, it saves tons of battery life. The photos are just like the Pixel 3, awesome photos. The video is adequate and the nite site gives very good photos in dark environments. The camera is one of the best features although it still doesn't beat newer Samsung phones, it does take crisp clear photos. For basic everyday photos, the software makes them the best at this resolution. The processing is more than fast enough for everything I do and the stereo speakers sound very good. I also like the fact that it gives you the option of three button navigation instead of phone swipe which I hear the future Pixels it's the ONLY way to navigate. There are unique features to Pixel that use your Google account that you can't do on other android phones. Some of my apps (not financial ones) auto save my password and log in so I can sign in at the touch of a button. Other phones I fumble and bumble with long complicated passwords with everything. So what's bad about the Pixel 4, something I haven't heard mention much. In low light situations when using the camerea the display will sometimes have waves going through it. My old Pixel 3aXL would simply fade a little (or brighten and fade) in this situation but the 4XL will actually have wavy lines go from side to side. It's not a defect, I confirmed this by testing another exact model. Using Messenger on video proved impossible because my image would have waves going up and down the screen like crazy. Only going into a better lighting condition would help this (not worth the trouble). Battery life is certainly not even close to newer Samsung or iPhone or any phones with the bigger 5,000 mah battery. But so far I haven't owned a Google Pixel that has great better life yet (2XL, 3aXL, and now 4XL). But with the settings I mentioned, I can live with just fine. Also, no fingerprint reader, and no ultra wide camera. But these don't upset me too much, my fingers do not seem to keep a proper unlock on any device I use. Back to the good, this phone is very thin and light. I use a Spigen Ultra thin case and this phone is much easier to hold, carry, and take photos than my Samsung S21 Plus (which beats Pixel in several categories otherwise). But we're comparing mid range to flagship. But sometimes I like a smaller lighter phone especially to take photos at work and on the road. If you can pick this up for $300 or less, it's a great deal. I got mine new, for once I splurged and skipped buying the refurbished model.

I had one of these for about 4 years and when the battery started misbehaving I upgraded to a Pixel 7 Pro. Sure, the camera was better because it had optical zoom and macro, but the facial recognition and fingerprint combo on that phone was awful. The 7 Pro facial recognition wouldn't work in dim light, much less total darkness, and the behind the screen fingerprint sensor was really finicky and made the phone a pain to use. I gave it away to a relative and bought another, by now very inexpensive, Pixel 4 XL. The facial recognition is excellent and will work in darkness just using the light from the screen. And compared to many newer phones it's lighter and easier to hold. The screen by the way is excellent. I intend to use this phone forever, that's how much I love it.

its a great phone but too old, no 5 G and it doesnt has 2 sim ports and after 1 month use, it just shut down in my travel to new york it start working again 1 day after, it has battery problems

Compré este Pixel 4 XL como regalo para un familiar, y la verdad es que fue todo un acierto. Desde que lo empezó a usar, no ha dejado de hablar maravillas del equipo.La calidad de las fotos es espectacular, incluso en condiciones de poca luz. Google realmente sabe cómo sacarle el máximo a su software de cámara, y eso se nota. Además, el rendimiento es fluido, sin trabas, ideal tanto para tareas diarias como para quienes usan varias apps al mismo tiempo.A pesar de no ser el modelo más reciente, se siente como un equipo de gama alta, bien construido y con una experiencia muy pulida.Si estás buscando un teléfono confiable, con excelente cámara y buen rendimiento, el Pixel 4 XL sigue siendo una gran opción, incluso para regalar.

This is the 2nd Pixel 4 xl I've purchased.The Pixel 4a and 5 are out now at a cheaper price, but this 4xl is MUCH better in terms of internal storage, battery, and speed.If you a "Google user" (gmail, chromecast, chromebooks) this is definitely the phone for you. If you are just an "Android user" this phone will easily replace any of your previous phones and works right on par with the SamsungUploaded data and contacts and preferences from previous phone is automatic.FEATURES I LOVE* The camera is SO FREAKING AWESOME (it's impossible to take a bad picture).* Screen is big - videos/movies play nicely.* Google news feed & Assistant quickly learn preferences.* Very few unwanted preloaded apps.* Durable - I drop it often (no scratches)* Water Resistant - I dropped it to the bottom of my pool (3.5 ft for 30 seconds) and IT LIVED!* Personal Health Focused - lots of features that help you reduce screen time, avoid work accounts during relax time, create a more "calming" phone during nighttime.

Google pixel camera was amazing as was the quality of the video. As always the google apps integrate seamlessly and google assistant was out of this world at making suggestions for apps to use with the phone. Lastly, the gesture functionality is a huge time saver.

I bought this phone when this was the current model. Unfortunately for me the new one came out about two months later and the price of this phone dropped a lot. Not thrilled that I got charged the higher amount but that's my fault. Good sound quality. Pictures are great for the generation of phone. my phone was the go to for pictures because of the quality it took. Battery life was good in the beginning but after 2 years of use I barely make it through a day. The the operating system and software is Google which for some is a positive others that's a negative. For me it seamlessly integrates with all of other Google products which makes it quite nice compared to other Android phones. I'm sure Google is thrilled with all the data it's collected from its phones. Google plans on doing one more security update for this model of phone and then after that stops supporting it.
