Yes. The Pixel 4 XL might not be the best Android phone of 2019 because of its sub-par battery life, but it comes super close. Wait a few weeks or months, and you'll definitely start seeing discounts. Pick it up then.Editors' RecommendationsOppo Find X2 P...

While the Google Pixel 4 XL is expensive, if you're a photography fanatic, it's well worth investing in. Our GHI experts thought the facial recognition and gesture control was extremely handy. More generally, it's simple to use, very fast, and has good ba...
Specs don't tell the whole story of a phone, and with the Pixel 4 series, this is good and bad. While the camera is mostly excellent and the phone is a top-notch performer (not to mention the new Google Assistant, which works more rapidly than ever before...
Abstract: The Google Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL were, perhaps, two of the most hyped (and leaked) phones of 2019. But the reality of using them as daily drivers is a bit, well… underwhelming...
There is a lot to love about the Pixel 4 XL, such as the display or the extra camera, but our favourite addition is the motion sensor which could play a big role in its future. However, it doesn't do enough to recommend it, we're Soli to say...

There will be a time when the Google Pixel 4 XL might be a great phone, but that time isn't now.I love the design, the feel, the 90Hz screen and incredible camera. The new on-device natural language understanding is a marvel. The next-generation Google As...
Does the Pixel 4 XL do as Google intended and show the best of Android right now? Sort of. The phone's new onboard Assistant features, powered by that enhanced Pixel Neural Core and Motion Sense, feel leagues ahead of what any other phone can deliver rig...
