First night of drain was about 1% from 100% to 99%. I have motion sense off at the moment as I rarely use it. Will report back after several nights of idle drain
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] nr7777:
Biggest change i noticed was with flight mode being turned on/off.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] Julian Kapa:
I always have my Pixel 4 in airplane mode and battery saver on when I'm sleeping, but it still uses significant battery overnight (tap to wake disabled). Last night it used 4% (~9 hours). I've only had the phone for 2-3 months (bought new when they were running out of stock, as they ended production a few months prior). I don't know the health of the battery, but I have got 5 hours SOT over 2 days. My Pixel (2016) doesn't move at all overnight, and that's with a terribly degraded battery, but that unit is a dodgy one from eBay, which can shut down randomly the next morning.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] Lughnasadh:
4% in 9 hours is .44%/hr idle drain. That is actually very good.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] EeZeEpEe:
For real. That's nothing to complain about.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] flash713:
Seems about right. Using Naptime and Servicely apps and lowering my max on each cluster I'm draining about 1% every few hours in standby with screen off. I'm making adjustments to improve this and I have been but I just started tweaking things so we shall see what I can get out of it over this next week or two. I'm using stock Android 11 and Clean Slate 279 kernel with canary.

Devices actually looks pretty nice. The camera layout doesn't bother me (used to it from my iPhone 11 Pro).
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] iandroo888:
Looks good. Feels good. I mean every other phone had a somewhat protruding camera or whatever. now, its just bigger. whatevs. The unevenness of the top and bottom doesn't bother me. Dont look at it often.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] Citznfish:
Received my black XL today. Making the back glossy is an insane decision. It gets fingerprints just from looking at it! Thankfully a case resolves any issues.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] melambar:
I have already had compliments on my "gorgeous case". The reactions I get when I say it is a clear case and that is the how my phone looks are priceless. Oh So Orange was totally worth it.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] manners400:
My Pixel 4XL in Clearly White just arrived & my first thought is ? Design and feel is definitely an improvement to me. Love the size, weight and the back material feels awesome. Somehow I thought the camera bump would be bigger but it looks relatively small in comparison to the phone size and actually looks very nice.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] lkhafra:
I've had my phone for a few days now and I'm late lol. I was talking smack until I got my phone in white. Its so clean and classy. I think they hit a home run. Ehh lets leave the black version out of it.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] ZeroKool76:
I think the reason Google put that gloss finish on the black, was to contrast with the matte frame. So, it would've been a concession either way. Whether they ditched the black altogether (which would probably cause a riot) or they make the back glossy. At least that's how I rationalize it. I can't see Google doing something like that, arbitrarily. Seems like they out a lot of thought into this years design.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] Logix:
mediocre at best sadly oppo does it better.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] Combonary:
I ditched the black. Should have put matte finish on there. Got the white which I don't like and slapped a matte black slim case on it [emoji23][emoji23]

What color do you have? Black? My Not Pink is matte and hardly shows any fingerprints if any.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] asdarkknight:
mine is just black...it might be normal on maybe pink...but here its a fingerprint mag
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] EeZeEpEe:
Yeah the black has a glossy finish while not pink and white are matte.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] NewtScamander:
Coming from the OnePlus 7 Pro, I got the Pixel 4 XL black version around two weeks ago.

I absolute love the look and feel of the device. I'm rocking it caseless and so far no important scratches on the back.

My only concern with this phone design is the thermal disipation, well, the lack of it. It gets very warm.

Some people aren't liking the 6610k or 6640k color temperature but I'm fine with it. Especially after seeing this video, I take the Pixel 4 XL color temperature over the S10. Way too blue for my liking.

I find colours really don't pop very well compared to my 2XL in boosted mode.. Are there any tricks to play with the screen temperature/saturation for those who are rooted or do we have to wait on more development ?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] ram4ufriends:
Yeah it's just too dull... I used iPhone 11 (not the Pro) which is 720p for couple of weeks and I like that screen way better than my Pixel 4 XL... My Pixel 4 XL display looks so pale...

[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] Ady1976:
First impressions of my 4 XL is the screen is yellow and warm face on, cloudy white, not impressed with the screen so I'm contacting Google today, the text on my 2 XL is clearer, the last thing I expected with the 4s was dodgy screens.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] daeboe:
The color on mine was fine. I wonder if there are manufacturing defects with the 4XL that were present when the 2XL came out.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] Ady1976:
It's looking like that, mines warm, I prefer the cool look and seeing as Google doesn't put anything in their software to adjust coolness or warmness I'm not liking it, is yours pure white face on? Does it go any whiter when tilted backwards about 30 degrees?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] Ady1976:
Got a replacement coming 25-28th now, I'll see how that is.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] Misterxtc:
Mine is very nice, it's crisp and vibrant. Surprisingly it looks better than my Note 10 plus.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] Ady1976:
You got a good one then nice, i had this problem with the 2 xl and almost gave up until i received this one i have in my hand, hard to compare with photos online because cameras are poor at white balance anyway when taking shots of other phones but in hand it's worse than my 2 xl which is surprising, my guess is Samsung is cherry picking displays for themselves first,
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] ZeroKool76:
Just curious, but what color did y'all that are having problems, receive? Shouldn't make a difference,but that's the only reason I could see reviewers not mentioning it, as most of them got the orange one. Maybe it's coincidence, maybe not. But I thought I would out that out there
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] Misterxtc:
I really hope you get a better replacement because I'm real happy with mine. I was finally able to test it in direct bright sunlight and it was fine there too. Yes Samsung is brighter but I didn't have a problem reading the screen like the 2XL's and 3xl's I had. The 2xl was the worst out of the two but the 3xl was worse in direct sunlight for me. I wish you the best on your replacement and it sucks you have to go through that.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] Ady1976:
Glad your happy with it, this yellow is not something i can live with unless the manufacturer puts in settings and configuration to suit everyone, when i look at my tv then look at the phone I'm about to ship back I'm disappointed, I've noticed this white looks slightly better in bright light but in a duller environment the yellow shows it's rear ugly head, will see what happens in a few days when i get the replacement if that's the same must be how they've calibrated the screen this time, enjoy yours ?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] Reuben_skelz92:
Any oled can be varying temp etc
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] EeZeEpEe:
I just want to be rid of the black smearing in low brightness on my Pixel 2 XL. Should be arriving tomorrow!
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] Ady1976:
Yeah mine is black which is warm, a replacement has been sent out for tomorrow so I'll see what that's like if that's the same or worse I may change colour just to see.

This is what I've been reading about oled the last few days, there's just no consistency, considering how long oled has been out now it's shocking to be honest, if I bought a red ferrari and it was delivered light red I'd be pissed, should not be happening in this day an age, to be honest I'm beginning to think QC is just not there with Google, I've had Google phones since the Nexus 5 and never had issues with screens until the pixel 2 XL, no surprise since everything changed to oled, apparently it's a big issue with oled TVs too, read some bits some people have to watch their TV at a 70 degree angle to get pure white, it's just shocking.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] keith777:
Brightness sucks

If i return this phone (Pixel 4 XL) it will be because of the extremely poor brightness on this screen (i probably will return). The Oneplus 7t is better than this phones screen and cost $400 less. That's just pitiful.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] Ady1976:
What's wrong with the brightness? Washed out when it's too high?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] keith777:
I'd have to keep it on 100% brightness a lot of the time to get it where i want, with the Oneplus 7t and iphones, samsung galaxy - don't have to do that. Its just really low, and I think it's something with the way Google set it up that they could fix with software, but probably won't. Either way not paying $1000 dollars for this.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] cliffr39:
Absolutely no issues with the display. Will be testing it more extensively outside in the bright Sun.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] Misterxtc:
No problems in the bright sun for me either. I tested mine on my morning walk and throughout the day with no issues reading the screen. This was a concern to me because the 3XL was terrible in the bright sun and I ended up returning it because of that. No, the 4XL isn't the brightest but it works fine. I've been testing it out along with a Note 10 + since yesterday and the Note is going back.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] Ady1976:
Yeah google ****ed that up in a update to android a while ago, mines 95% used to be around 60 ish, why they ****ed about with that is anyones guess.

But yeah OLED screens are a lottery, you either get lucky or the fact is probably a lot are actually yellow but a lot op peoples brains can't register or see it and they think it is white and they have no issues, See here on this link, more people actually voted there is tint issues than not.

https://www.avforums.com/threads/oled-yellow-red-tint.2119862/

Also Google uses LG oled screens, they are notorious for tinting problems in their oled tv's too, Don't know what the screen is the 4 or 4 XL but mine is ****e, luckily a replacement will be here tomorrow and if there is a big difference it will just go to show how poor either oled screens are or googles quality control is non existent, i read somewhere on a review on the 4xl screens (can't remember where now) and he says every single pixel 4 screen is calibrated at a factory, for a start that's absolute bull****, even expensive tv's are not calibrated individually, it takes way too much time so the fact there is so much variance in oled tells you where the problem is.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] EeZeEpEe:
The slider adjustment was to make the increments more linear. Before, 50% on the slider was more than 50% of what a screen's brightness was actually capable off. So the difference between 0-50% was greater than 51-100%.

That being said, the dimmer than iPhone and Samsung's screens has nothing to do with it. The Pixel 4 is rated around 444 nits while iPhone's and Samsung's can hit 800 and 1000+ respectively.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] Ady1976:
True it was supposed to make ot more linear but I'm getting quite large variances in brightness on my 2 xl between 80-100% is almost from grey to bright white, i wouldn't say that is linear personally.

But yeah the brightness limitations of the pixel 4's was very noticeable compared to my 2 xl which is apparently only 480 odd nits, it is noticeable and I'm guessing Google is worried of replacement requests in the future because of burn in, who knows that's my guess.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] EeZeEpEe:
It's still more linear than Android in the past. Only way to truly know is have a nits meter.

So your Pixel 4 XL was dimmer than the Pixel 2 XL? And actually the Pixel 2 XL was originally 480 and they lowered it to 430 because of the 1st month scares of burn in.

https://www.androidpolice.com/2017/...s-fading-navigation-buttons-8-1-dp1-pixel-2s/
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] ZeroKool76:
That's exactly what goes through my mind, when people ask for a brighter screen. You're going to be more susceptible to burn in on your status bar and your navbar, if you still use those three buttons. Pretty much on every device I have ever had, there has been a modification that you can get to adjust the max brightness. I imagine at some point this device will get that modification as well, allowing you to, if needed, bump up the brightness just a bit. But I'm with you, I believe Google is playing it safe because they don't want people to burn in their screens
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] Ady1976:
Yes i can visually see my 2 xl is brighter than this 4 xl, it's quite noticeable, in fact it's the noticed immediately after adjusting the brightness setting after i initially set it up.

---------- Post added at 10:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 PM ----------

If Google have reduced it in the past I'm 100% convinced that's why the brightness is reduced on the 4's, there's no way that screen can't go brighter, it's deliberate from but they won't admit it. Time will tell but i soon got burn in on my 2 xl however slight it is it doesn't seem to have gone any worse over the 2 years I've owned it.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] EeZeEpEe:
Interesting. I will have to see what I experience when my Pixel 4 XL arrives tomorrow.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] Ady1976:
Yeah it's there, I'm having to have it higher than my 2 xl.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] Ady1976:
And here we go again with yellow tint gate lol, it's actually laughable to be honest they still can't get a good number of manufactured oled panels.

https://amp.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/dm06lb/yellowish_tint_on_my_4xl/

And this one

https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/dm6pzn/pixel_4_yellow_tint/

Looking at the oled TV panels, it looks half and half if you get a perfect panel, good luck.

[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] Badger50:

https://www.notebookcheck.net/Who-m...Google-Pixel-4-XL-Samsung-or-LG.439878.0.html
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] ZeroKool76:
Nice find. So that brings up another question then. Are the people that are having this issue, using the standard 4 or the XL version? Since they are technically two different screen types, it could be assumed that they went with a different company for the lower end device.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] Ady1976:
Yeah or Samsung, I don't know what is in this unit but if it is Samsung they are cherry picking good panels for themselves, I've owned 2 Samsung devices, an s8 which was perfectly white and i currently own tbet galaxy tab s5e which is also perfect, 100% if it is Samsung they are flogging some **** of to Google wherever it is manufactured. Kind of puts me off anything Google in future.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] Reuben_skelz92:
I doubt it. I've had just as many Samsung displays with bad tints etc . Everywhere is advertising the pixel 4 XL with P oled which is LG, It would make sense.

The cherry picking thing wouldn't add up because OnePlus etc have Samsung ones and no complaints of display issues

Certainly not as many as the pixels already
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] Ady1976:
I have seen few people complaining of yellow screens with OP only yesterday but i wasn't even researching the OP but it did come up to be fair, don't know how many i just haven't looked, i can only go off 2 Samsung devices I've purchased and not had this yellow tint on either of them, maybe i was just lucky but the last 2 Google devices I've had brand new have this yellow tint issue so who knows ?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] Reuben_skelz92:
I mean any oled phone there is going to be some tint issues etc somewhere but the pixel seems to be coming up more and more and quickly ...yellow tints....even one that's gone completely green. Not a good sign on first day of release. Xda, Reddit etc starting to fill with themn
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] Ady1976:
Exactly, I've had a replacement today and it's actually worse than my original, the colours on this screen look washed out to me, WhatsApp greens for example, they're not solid green colours there's white blooming through all the greens, it looks worse than my 2 XL, I'm just not sure if I'm just going to replace both yet and get a refund, this screen reminds me of the Nexus 9 tablet, washed out colours when there's bright screens, not liking it all.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] mkouk:
Could you download the Display Tester app from the play store? It's a great app for testing various things with the screen.

I have put my Pixel 4XL next to my older 2XL and in every test I get better results from the 4XL. The tests I've tried to compare the two phones were:

Defective pixel detection

Banding

Gamma detection

Real world photos

I must admit though side by side on the above tests the Pixel 4XL looks much better but somehow when I just look at the Pixel 2XL I think it's brighter... Perhaps it's something to do with the the more prominent blue hue of the LG screen that it appears to my eyes brighter when in fact it's just that my eyes are more sensitive to the blue hue that the 2XL panel is notorious for.
