Google Pixel 4 XL Smartphone Review: Longer battery life thanks to a larger battery

[Redaktion]

Google offers the Pixel 4 also in an XL version, whose size allows for a more powerful battery. Not only is the battery capacity sufficient to run the larger display, but it also improves on the overall endurance of the smartphone.

Why didn't you use the different color profiles to test color accuracy?

I am surprised by the colour accuracy of this Pixel 4 XL, and wonder if the author got a defective unit. Nevertheless, thank you for this review!

I'm a little bit  confused in terms of your camera  evaluation. You have written in your summery the pixel 4 xl has  got a very good cameras. I your table the camera reached just 67% which is actually a very bad result. I don't  understand really the logic of these figures.

Very good 75-78%  like in othe nootbookcheck reviews.

Or is the camera just midrange and google got a bonus because of the name.

The information in this article regarding PWM on the Pixel 4XL is only SLIGHTLY correct!  The earliest production units of this phone did indeed only have PWM below 62% brightness.  However, and later production units and replacement displays have PWM at ALL brightness levels!  Also, the speakers on this phone are terrible in terms of reliability!  I use the speakers for music only once in a blue moon while in bed if I need a song to shut down my brain, and thus listen at a low level.  When using navigation, the volume is higher at around 70%.  My original phone with the PWM at lower levels only, had horrible distortion occur in both speakers, and of course phone calls with the earpiece and very distorted navigation directions.  I had the phone service, and just the replacement of both speakers did not resolve the distortion issue.  So the repair shop thought the motherboard should be replaced, and since I wanted to keep the phone a very long time, he installed a new battery and display.  Well, the new display now had PWM at all levels.  The motherboard change did resolve the speaker distortion issue.  I begged the technician to install my old screen back in since it hadn't been shipped out yet, and he refused.  I went through Google and had to jump through a lot of hoops, but eventually they sent me a brand new phone sealed in its box (not a refurb.).  Well, this phone has PWM at all levels, so I look at the screen as little as possible.  But now, the earpiece/speaker is starting to distort although my volume level on phone calls is only about 60%.  Based on the first phone, the bottom speaker which handles ring and all other notification sounds and navigation direction will not be far behind in crapping out.  The Pixel 6 looks way to expensive and I'm not trusting the Pixel hardware any longer.  I don't know what to do at this point as I'm not a rich person who can constantly upgrade/update my phone.
