      It's adaptive, so realistically you'll be using 60hz most of the time saving battery and 90hz when it's ideal and you can notice a difference between 60hz and 90hz. But still a bigger battery would have been bigger unless the hardware is now also using less juice than the pixel 3 hardware.

    I tested out the speakers from Pixel 2 and Pixel 4. With Pixel 4, you don't have dual, front facing speakers anymore, but the stereo/surround effect seemed to be more prominent and better. Maybe we don't need front facing speakers.

      It kills me when companies remove MAINSTAYS of a series of phones. LG did it when they made the V30 without an IR blaster and a removable battery. It destroyed the identity of the "V" line of phones.
      If Google keeps removing things that make a Pixel a Pixel, they'll basically be making generic black rectangles for the rest of their run.

      Facts... As much as Android fans dislike Apple, Google is following the blueprint. The updates, the focus on the camera, the "S" iterations, even the ecosystem.

Google Assistant is the only assistant worth while and when I think it couldn't get much better they make leaps and bounds with the Assistant.

I'm upgrading to the 4xl when it releases but seriously, my 2XL has a huge amount of life left in it, it's insane. Whereas my Nexus 6P would die at 60% come 2 years on. My Pixel 2XL went from reaching like 20% by the end of the day to now, almost dead after my longest day as a Student once I come home. That's like, taking it off charge at 6:30 am, it dies by 8pm, which for a 2 year old phone with no performance issues is incredible.

    Thank you Jon for the in-depth differences between Pixel 3 and 4.

Most my important pics and docs are saved to cloud, printed or saved on my pixelbook anyways. The Pixel 3 processor is more than enough fast for me for daily use and watching UA-cam videos; I don't play games or watch movies on my phone. The Pixel 4 gesture controls are not very accurate based on other reviews and I rather touch the screen instead of getting frustrated and possibly throwing the phone against the wall lol! (J/K) 😉I have a twin so I do not want her face mistaken for mine on face unlock 😅 Not that I have anything to hide.
