Editor Rating
4.2/5

The Google Pixel 4 XL is the flagship offering from Google itself, showcasing the latest advancements the brand has made in software optimization and hardware assembly. It features a refined version of the same Google aesthetic that has been developed over the last three generations, with a smooth and colourful back panel and a vibrant and responsive display up front. The cameras are hosted in a small square module that sits on the top left corner and provides a nice contrast to the flashy rear panel. You also get a reliable Snapdragon processor to handle most of the day-to-day tasks, although we would not call it a gaming-focused device.

Bottom Line

Google Pixel 4 XL is the top offering from the Pixel lineup, which features a larger, more responsive display that is further enhanced by the snappy software experience that can only be found in a Google smartphone. You also get the benefit of state-of-the-art computational photography, which almost makes up for the lack of hardware quality.
