    You are so right, the Face UNLOCK was unbelievable! The display is still better than the new Pixel 9 pro xl

    I bought a Pixel 4XL second-hand from Facebook Marketplace in August 2022 for US $150 in excellent condition. I used it on a 16 month overland trip from Alaska to Argentina. That was a lot of photos, watching video and internet! I still use to the phone today, it has been excellent. Main issue is battery - when using it on the road I wouldn't trust it to last a full day. That was never an issue as I always had a powerbank with me. Back in the West, I only notice the battery when on a long drive using sat nav, it eats battery. An odd issue I hadn't expected was that it was impossible to get a replacement case for it all through Central and South America, as it was never released there. I thought I would make a lot of use of the e-SIM capability, but ended up wishing I had 2 physical SIM slots instead, as eSIM just wasn't competitive with local SIMs. Photo quality and video quality were always excellent. I've been and continue to be very happy with the phone.

    Literally just upgraded from this phone to a Pixel 8. The 4 has the best face unlock ever and that's the main thing I miss. I love the 8 but battery is honestly about the same cause I didn't go with the pro

    • @TechWizPrince
      @TechWizPrince  11 місяців тому +1

      Solid upgrade to the Pixel 8. I think it's also smaller than the Pixel 4 XL due to slimmer bezels. And yess, I love the Face Unlock on this phone. Battery life should be better on the Pixel 8. Shocking that's it's the same as a 4 year old android.

      @@TechWizPrince battery life is actually worse if you use the 5G but about the same on LTE. 7 years of software updates and the sale they were having sold me on it. The 4XL really should have continued to get software updates because it keeps up with Pixels up to the 8 on geekbench which is wild.

    • @TechWizPrince
      @TechWizPrince  11 місяців тому +1

      Yes. That's something I forgot to account for. 5g is battery draining. Plus you also get a much brighter display which uses more battery.
      As for the updates, this phone at least should have received Android 14. Sucks that it didn't.

    I still remember pre ordering P4 for $800 just for it to drop by $200 in less than a month. I stopped getting Pixels on release unless they have a pre order bonus.
    It still works fine except for the NFC because of the back. P4 has definitely the worst build quality on a Google phone, the edges of the phone started peeling off and it turns out it's something to do with the glue and build quality, not the battery.
    My Pixel 2 and 6 on the other hand still look new and surprisingly, the 6 still holds to its battery power like day one.
    Got P8 on release date and I'm really excited for the direction Google is heading to, MAJOR improvements on hardware and build quality.
    Finger crossed 🤞🏻

      Yeah I wanted to get this phone back then but decided to wait. Eventually went to the Apple ecosystem.
      The comment about build quality is true. Event his phones sides are showing signs of wear.
      The Pixel 6 I had was great. I liked using that phone. I'm hoping to be a part of #teampixel soon and then get to try the new Pixel phones!

    Hi there,
    New subscriber here, I'm so delighted that I saw this video, I've been wanting to own a 4 xl White since it came out but due to bad reviews opted to buy other pixels. I still want to get one but weary of the battery performance. I don't trust buying online too, I'll ask my cousins in Canada to fetch one for me. I don't know, i really dig its overall look + of course the cameras. How was the telephoto lens? I have the 6 now . Thanks for this video.

    The only thing the Pixel 4 didn't have was 5G. And then when they made the 4A 5G I was stunned because they got rid of the flagship processor and put a mid-range chip in it. So the regular pixel 4 was more expensive/powerful but the 4A5G was cheaper and had better network. 👀🤔

      @LittleKiddo123 so the Pixel 2 XL had a dedicated speaker at the top which acted as an earpiece. While on other phones the earpiece acts as a speaker which is not as strong as a dedicated speaker. This is for older phones. Newer ones probably are much much better.
