Google Pixel 4XL: How Quickly They Forget... By Thao Huynh

Let's be real, it's not a status symbol, and it doesn't have the flashiest hardware either. Despite that, the pixel for Excel is a phone that I've continually turned you and, for the most part, enjoy piper wood tile here, I've been using it for six months now. So, let's see how gracefully Google's flagship phone has aged the design of this phone has never really wowed me. I love the feel and finish, but truthfully I think that pixel 3 has way better aesthetics that not pink two-tone design was beautiful. The only complaint I have about the built itself is that the par bun has gone mushy on me and no longer has that satisfying click on sunny days, the display still doesn't get as bright as I would like, and at night jumping the brightness down causes this weird green tint outside those two complaints. The 90 Hertz screen and speakers have actually been perfect during day to day use the top bezel isn't pretty, but hey at least it doesn't cut into content.

I actually found a motion sense handy in the car and the kitchen to skip songs. It can do a few other things, but for me the limited use just didn't justify the standby better dream of keeping it enabled I've been waiting for Google to drop new super cool uses for most sense, so I can give it another chance. But the only thing we've received so far is a new tap gesture to play and pause music I love, a gesture for maybe picking up or declining a phone call. There's definitely untapped potential here once I disabled motion sense, the 3700 William hour battery actually fared really well. I still carry an extra power bank fortress where I plan on using the camera a lot, but for normal day-to-day use.

It's been good. The radar-based face on lock is one of the highlights on the pixel for Excel. It's not only fast, but it's also secure. Unlike the 2d options, you see in a lot of other phones that can be tricked with a picture with lift to wake and the skip lock screen. Toggles turned on to unlock.

Experience is up there with the iPhone. The April security update also, finally added a requirement eyes to be open toggle, which was something the phone received, a lot of slack for it took a while, but hey at least it's here now. What is this, so great is that my banking, app here in Canada, still isn't supported by face unlock. Thankfully most password managers are, so it's only been a few clicks away, not ideal, but I can live with it. For now, all these quirks are quickly forgotten, because the pixel fork cell still takes my favorite photos from any phone.

It's all preference, but whenever I look back at memories, the photos from the pixel were consistently. My favorite, with maybe the exception to selfies. The s20 ultra currently holds that count. For me, Google is a software magic makes it so easy for anyone to take good photos in any situation. I passed along my pixel 3 to my mom, and I've, been so surprised at some family photos, she's been able to take, and she's bad at taking pictures with people.

The contrast can really emphasize wrinkles and dark circles under the eyes, which isn't all that flattering. Having the ability to tweak both the highlights and shadows separately before snapping, a picture is another option to tone that contrast down video isn't the best I've seen, but it's been more than capable of capturing those special moments for casual use. The max of video resolution of 4k 30 frames per second easily gets the job done. I've recently discovered a feature similar to Samsung's a video snap. That's built right into the pixels video editor, letting me save a photo from any video recording.

So that's pretty cool much like the camera. The software is where the phone really shows its term. Although I have experienced a few glitches here there 99% of the time this thing is silky smooth. The playful animations effect, combined with well-tuned tactics, really improved. The experience I used the squeeze to launch Google assistance way more than I thought.

I would four quick questions to turn up lights or for simply adding things to my shopping list. The Now Playing feature has led me to discovering so many awesome new jobs that I otherwise would have never found the Google phone app seems to block way more spam calls automatically than any other phone I. Don't know if it's coincidence, but it feels like every time. I put my sim into another phone. The number of spam calls increases for the ones that do get through I can let call screening handle things it's easily.

One of my all-time favorite features Google's also been doing. These future drops where new functionality is added to the phone like the ability to schedule, dark mode and rules that put the phone on vibrate silence or sound mode based on location or Wi-Fi network. The pizza launcher has basic levels of customization and that's good for simplicity, but what I really want is the ability to create folders in the app drawer. So what's the verdict after six months? Well, the bottom line is that it's a good phone and a terrific appointment issue camera, although there are some great quality of life per stone in the software, is simple and clean, making the phone easy to just pick up and start using. If you care about specs and bleeding-edge hardware, this might not be the phone for you.

Google does look like they'll continue to sprinkle software features to round out the experience. So if you could pick one up on a good discount, it might be worth looking into. The pictures are definitely the main draw, but you might just find yourself a falling in love with the Google experience too.
