With that said, the display only kicks into 90 Hz in select scenarios. Its benefit is most tangible when scrolling, during which I encountered far less ghosting (pixel trailing) than the Pixel 3 XL. For the Pixel 4 XL, Google has employed a new 90Hz “Smooth Display” that aims to improve animation fluidity. Although most of us don’t know we need one, it’s hard to downgrade once we grow accustomed to its smoothness. Although, if you want the best color accuracy, be sure to turn off the Ambient Equalizer feature as it shifts the white point away from the calibrated 6500K.Ī high refresh rate display is something to be spoiled by. Furthermore, its color, contrast, and gamma accuracy are indistinguishable from perfect.

Google’s display was top-notch last year, and this year’s Pixel 4 once again raises the bar with its brilliant 6.3-inch 3,040 x 1,440p 19:9 OLED panel.ĭisplayMate’s independent testing shows that the Pixel 4 XL covers 100 per cent of the Adobe sRGB color gamut and 100 per cent of the DCI-P3 color gamut. The volume rocker rests in quietly next to it. Highlighted in orange, the power button is eye-catching against the grippy, sanded bezels. And despite having two grill openings at the bottom, there’s only a single speaker unit. Balancing is still an issue the sound coming from the top earpiece is quieter than the more powerful bottom speakers. Audio quality is sharp and, like most smartphone speakers, lack bass. That seems to have been addressed in the Pixel 4 XL. Upon release, Pixel 3 users complained about buzzing speakers and weird vibrations. While it looks sleeker, it came at cost reallocating the speaker grill to the base. Whereas the top bezel has grown wider, the chin has been crushed into a thin strip. Now that the fingerprint sensor has been removed, face sign-in has become the only biometric authentication method. Look Ma, no notch! The new flush top bezel houses a single front-facing camera and a time-of-flight (ToF) depth sensor for face sign-in. A microphone opening is clearly visible, something that’s hidden on the Pixel 3 XL. It’s impossible to miss the massive camera array glaring at you. Only a single USB-C port populates the Pixel 4 XL. It pains me to finally concede that the headphone jack is dead on most premium phones. Its smoothness is akin to the creamy texture of marble. Google has ditched the dual texture finish for the rear glass and embraced a single flat finish, which both looks nicer and is grippier. This subtlety makes it friendlier for smaller hands. Just Black, Clearly White, and Oh So OrangeĪlthough it still rocks a 6.3-inch display, the body of the Pixel 4 XL is a tad narrower than its predecessor.

Additionally, its 90 Hz refresh rate help system animations flow that much smoother, and the Soli-powered radar sensor is a fresh feature never before seen. What does deserve praise is its bright display with pin-point color accuracy. It’s a phenomenal shooter, but it’s not distinctly better than the last generation’s Pixel 3 XL. The Pixel 4 continues to build on Google’s legendary camera legacy with an improved camera array.
