Product Information

There’s a little bit of a learning curve with remembering which direction to swipe to advance and rewind songs, though nothing like the clumsy controls that characterize previous attempts to add gesture controls to phones. Google’s gestures really work, right out of the box, without you having to devote hours of study to Motion Sense. If anything, Motion Sense is a little too responsive, as my colleague Adam Ismail found himself skipping and then rewinding songs when his gestures weren’t abrupt enough. Me, I found that if you talk with emphatic hand gestures, there’s a risk, however slight, that Motion Sense will think you’re trying to control your phone when you’re just trying to drive home a point.

Note that it works whether you’re on or offline, as all the computation happens on the device, and Google claims it won’t leave the device.

With the new Dual Exposure mode just a screen tap away in the main camera modes (which lets you fiddle with brightness and shadow), we found it plenty easy to tweak your image before you take it. I went down to a local marina to shoot the Oakland skyline at night, and I think the Pixel 4 XL produces the better shot here. A search light piercing the sky comes through vividly in the Pixel's photo while the iPhone 11 Pro Max downplays those beams of light. The colors from the buildings across the way dance more vividly on the water in the Pixel's photo, and even the boats in the left corner, while not particularly well lit, emerge distinctly from the shadows. Coming straight from Google means the Pixel 4 XL will be in the first wave of Android upgrades immediately after they go public. Other phones, even flagships from Samsung, often have to wait months (if not the better part of a year). Don't buy it if...

The Google Pixel 4 is an Android lover's dream and a clear Editors' Choice. It features a gorgeous design, powerful hardware, a 90Hz OLED display, terrific camera performance, and genuinely useful software that make getting things done easier than ever. And you don't have to worry it growing obsolete anytime soon, as Google guarantees at least three years of updates. The only real downside is that the Pixel 4 tops out at 128GB of storage, which is pretty meager for smartphone shutterbugs.We really miss the having an ultra-wide camera when using the Pixel 4 XL, there’s no getting around it.
