Google Pixel 4 XL 64GB Just Black

Product Information

zoom with barely a hitch, which is a nice touch, though the telephoto shoots slightly less warm photos. The seemingly modest 12 MP/16 MP dual camera produces outstanding results thanks to Google's advanced machine learning technology. It takes a little while to master, but once you do you can significantly improve shots — and I should note that these effects work much better if you do them ahead of taking the shot instead of in post. But it’s mostly because the real story with smartphone cameras is computational photography — it’s all about the software.

It uses two near-infrared (NIR) cameras, a flood emitter, and dot projector for a very iPhone-like face unlocking experience. The results of our test images are therefore very comparable, so for a detailed impression of the camera performance, we refer you to our test of the Google Pixel 4. It is fully functional and has been professionally refurbished, tested, inspected and cleaned to excellent condition by qualified sellers. Apple tends to choose design over functionality, and are iPhones are known for their advanced technology.There’s one niggle unrelated to design or performance – a lack of accompanying earbuds, which is annoying but makes sense given Google’s desire to promote Pixel Buds. In response, the company notified journalists that an update is on the way for users to optionally require eyes to be open when face-unlocking; in the meantime, the Pixel team advises wary owners to use Lockdown mode (make it available in Settings > Display > Advanced > Lock screen display, then hold down the power button to access it), which requires a PIN/pattern/password for the next unlock. All the things you need in a phone but without the pointless frilly bits Unpretentious, native android, fast, great camera and an easy root when Google decides to stop supporting.

The graphics performance of the Pixel 4 XL is sufficient to display modern games smoothly even at higher setting levels. The smooth operation can also be attributed to the 90Hz screen refresh rate, which does give the phone this almost imperceptible smoothness, although whether that’s significant enough to justify as a crucial new design pillar is moot. In addition, the CalMAN analysis shows that the color portions are displayed relatively balanced on the screen. That’s ostensibly so it can fit both its face unlock and radar sensors up top, but I do wonder if Google just wanted to make life easier on itself this time around. If you don’t mind carrying an external battery pack around with you, we encourage you to keep them turned on.Android has a reputation for “jank,” aka stuttery animations and general weirdness in things moving on the screen.

W hile using it, we also did not notice any limitations that could be traced back to the temperatures being too high inside. It works in any lighting condition, and you can’t trick it with a photograph or a video like you can on Samsung or OnePlus’ face unlock systems (I tried).During the Google Pixel 4 XL review period, our smaller unit reliably got around four and a quarter hours of screen-on time per day with a ~12-hour cycle. If looking to maximise your savings even further, you have two storage options with a refurbished Google Pixel 4XL. But the Google Pixel advantage has never been in lenses - it’s in the software, which has worked wonders with even a single lens. The bottom has the standard USB-C port flanked by speakers, which give better sound than we’ve heard in any other 2019 flagship - a more balanced, bass-filled sound than the treble-favoring iPhone 11 and Samsung Galaxy S10. The real killer feature on the Pixel 4 camera is astrophotography mode, which is so insane you have to see it to believe it.
