    Using my Pixel 4 XL for nearly 3 years now and it's been fantastic. Face unlock is brilliant on it and the design. This phone would have been the best if Google added a bigger battery and a ultra wide lense. Still a great phone.

    I just recently retired my Pixel 4 and upgraded to the pixel 8 pro, I'm thinking of fixing the battery on the pixel 4 and just used it as my navigation device on my bicycle. It was a great phone and never gave me any problems.

    The Pixel 4 XL is great. No "but"'s. In 2023, it's not for everyone. It's for those people who know how to use their phones. I forced 90Hz display, because that is what I paid for. I turned off the Silly radar, because it's just silly like the name suggested. My Pixel 4 XL has no battery issues. It's at least 48 hours between two charges. Did I say I love the face unlock? Yeah, it's super fast. And the camera. As soon as I received the phone, I took a few photos of the stuff I was going to sell online. In one sale, the phone paid for itself already.

    I just got it on second hand for about 180$, because of the Android 14 update that bricked my pixel 7 ("Pixel is starting" loop if you have multiple profile).
    And I honestly love this phone, as for the experience it is like 90% of the current pixel 7 flagship, except ofcourse the camera and chip. But I have a great experience!
    Especially with the matt finish & biometric face unlock is very impressive, I hope pixel 9 or 10 google will reimplement the infrared with the fingerprint sensor upgraded.
    Although Pixel 3XL still holds the best speaker for me.
    Also the sensor is neat, not necessary just ok. And for me that have been using Pixel 6 and 7, I really wish I could've gone for the Pro because personally I used Telephoto waaaaayymore than wide one
    I want to believe google to will bring back this face unlock sensors and squeeze feature. And update the fingerprint sensor.
    Hopefully Pixel 9 or atleast by pixel 10 when they change their chip from samsung.

    Telephoto lens was the only reason I pick this phone and it was my first and last pixel. 24-26mm main lens is wide. I shoot full frame camera and to me it is so stupid to put two wide lenses on in a phone. I use an ultra wide like 1% of the time.

    I have the Pixel 4 and yes, that 2800mah battery, you had to carry a charging brick or battery to frequently keep it charged. When it comes to the Android 13 and future updates and support from Google, RIP Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL.
