The reference Android smartphone as of the end of 2019. The first positive impression about it is formed by a solid screen on a P-OLED matrix substrate with a diagonal of 6.3" and 19:9 proportions. The image is broadcast on it in high resolution 3040x1440 pixels. Also, the gadget’s display is notable for its support for displaying HDR content, Always On and Ambient EQ functions, Motion Sense contactless control (Soli mini-radar systems are used to implement gesture control).
The Google Pixel 4 XL 64GB screen also has an increased refresh rate of 90Hz. For the speed of the mobile device, regardless of the severity of the tasks shouldered, the performant bundle of the top Snapdragon 855 chipset and 6/64 GB of memory is responsible. The dual camera of the smartphone is built on a leading 12.2 MP image sensor with advanced Dual Pixel autofocus in conjunction with a 16 MP telephoto lens.
The selfie module on the front panel has a resolution of 8 MP. It is adjacent to a set of sensors for authentication of the smartphone owner by face. The 3700 mAh rechargeable battery under the hood of the mobile gadget supports fast and wireless charging technologies (18 W and 11 W, respectively). On the shelves of stores, the smartphone is presented in black, white and orange body colours.

Google managed to make a good smartphone?
Google for its vision of “perfect smartphones” was not kicked only by the lazy, and the owners of the Pixel series handsets could be listed in the red book. But then a miracle happened and the fourth generation of Pixel came out almost a reference. Especially the older model XL, which got a bigger screen and a more powerful battery.
Top dual camera
Outwardly, the fourth Pixel resembles the new iPhone 11 Pro, only instead of a notch cutout, an unusually thick frame remains on top, and the camera unit on the back looks a little neater. Interestingly, this is the first smartphone of the series, which has not a single, but a dual camera with optical and electronic image stabilization, phase detection autofocus and advanced software algorithms and the Pixel Neural Core neural processor. All in all, the Pixel 4 is a top camera phone that is particularly good at video and night photography.
Top-end OLED display with 90Hz refresh rate
The Pixel 4 XL has a high-quality 6.3-inch OLED panel with a resolution of 3040x1440 and a refresh rate of 90Hz. Such screens are gradually becoming fashionable, and it is more pleasant to play on them, and it is trite to flip through the icons in the menu. The matrix supports HDR, Always On and Ambient EQ modes, which automatically adjusts brightness and colour reproduction, depending on the ambient light. The hardware part is top-end, but with reservations. On the one hand, the most powerful Snapdragon 855 is used as a processor, on the other hand, only 6 GB of RAM. While many competitors have 8 or even 12 GB for this money. It is also bad that the maximum amount of memory even in the older model is only 128 GB, and there is no support for memory cards.
A thousand useful little things
And this is the only reason for regret. Otherwise, the smartphone is good: the case is reliably protected from moisture (IP68 class), there is a choice of fast and wireless charging, and an NFC chip has finally settled inside the case. The Pixel 4 XL also features a faster new Google voice assistant, an advanced Motion Sense gesture control system, and smart new apps like an updated Voice Recorder that can transcribe voice to text in real time. And then there are the fancy Face ID sensors for face unlock, which are used instead of the standard fingerprint sensor. It would be more convenient to have both options up your sleeve.
