Portrait mode is pretty terrible for photographing objects. Other than that it's pretty decent.

The second telephoto camera could have been left out though... I find it to not be any better than the 3xl's zoom feature which had amazing processing power
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] EeZeEpEe:
I don't know. It's pretty great on objects for me. Way better than the Pixel 2 XL I had. I use it all the time for food pics too.

Night sight on pixel 4 Xl
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] thepersona:
I got this phone purely for the photography experience and being able to use this regularly. But the selfie camera is ****ing weak it really ****ing sucks and it's really disappointing. I'm in my bedroom with my light on trying to take a picture of something and the selfie camera is just trash.

I really really hope they update the quality of the selfie camera via software fix or something because it has really tainted my experience and made me regret purchasing the phone for photography reasons as I could have went for the iPhone and not had these kinds of issues with selfies.

Outside of that I love everything about the device the software experience the smoothness everything else has been working to a t which I can't complain about. I wish that was my primary reason when I purchased this device rather than the camera aesthetic lol anyone else come across the poor selfie equality
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] EeZeEpEe:
You take that much selfies that it's a deal breaker? [emoji2359] The selfies are fine. Not the best but far from garbage.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] thepersona:
Lol Nope, not just the selfies. Even with the regular camera when indoors taking any photo just is not feasible. When I buy a product I expect all functions to work well/properly out of the box. All YouTubers were ****ting on the device but the camera was continuously getting praise. So that helped my judgment in purchasing this device strictly for photography.

I just expected that the selfie cam would have taken proper good qiality selfies like the pixel 2 way before it. The note 10plus is my main driver device so I use that when I need to take selfies. It would just be nice if the selfie cam was updated or fixed via software to help the quality. That way I don't have to switch devices so often.

Check out the Reddit and Google forums, other owners of the device have also made similar complaints.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] EeZeEpEe:
No complaining here:

All good brother, glad to hear you're getting an awesome experience with the camera from your device. I just wish I knew how to fix my blurry, noisy selfies in doors
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] in_dmand:
Here's what I'm talking about...

Part of the handle is chopped off

You can see unblurred portions in the gaps
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] EeZeEpEe:
And you have comparison Pixel 2 XL pics where it did better?

No portrait mode gets those gaps perfect. I get this misses sometimes but adjusting can get better shots. For me though, it's gotten a lot better than with the Pixel 2 XL. It's should because it's actually got 2 lenses.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] in_dmand:
I was comparing to the 3xl, not the 2. 3xl still had the same issues but just didn't seem quite as bad.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] EeZeEpEe:
Well for me I know the Pixel 2 XL would've failed this one. Would've blurred either the lip of the glass on the left or the stem of the glass on the right or both. That being said, depending on the background and foreground difference in depth and lighting, even the Pixel 4 XL can still miss it for me. I suggest adjusting the light and/or make sure there's a bigger difference in depth of field.

Does anyone know of a twitter client that uses sms rather than wifi?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sarmpy:
Doesn't that depands on the country you're livin'? SMS is send to a number which most likely should be local (think of costs) I know there's is a service that lets you put small blogs on their site through sms. They also have the service to put those blogs on your twitter account. The sevice is provided by Vakow Blog (you google for it). You can also look at twitter faq for some extra info because twitter itself has also a service for this.

[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] Ady1976:
Imo it's worse than my 2 xl, seems to be more loss of detail on human face pictures and more noise unless you adjust the dual exposure settings so as far as Google is saying point and click no it is not for the front camera in slightly darker environments and i don't mean pitch black just in the house without sunlight. I shall try and sort 2 pictures out comparing both.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] RoccoN4:
Actually find my regular Note 10 to take better selfies. But the Pixel takes better overall pics in my tests. Was worried about the video compared to the note but I'm very happy with the Pixels video.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] Ady1976:
Yeah it's ****ing terrible I've just done a comparison, the 4 XL selfie is piss poor compared to my 2 XL, wow never expected this, shocking just shocking, the noisy purple hue image is the 4 XL, wtf is Google playing at?

[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] the.emilio:
I have no issues. Maybe.. just maybe whatever you're watching on TV was brighter between the shots? Looking at your couch the blue hue coming from your TV was much brighter meaning that wall was exposed to the brighter blue tint

Here's an actual selfie comparison comparison between the Pixel 2 XL and the Pixel 4 XL. As you can see in strong background lighting the Pixel 4 XL wins with better color saturation and of course wider view.View attachment 4888333View attachment 4888335

Pics or it doesn't happen. LOL. But for real, stating it is one thing and demonstrating is another.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] idees:
i think that loosing the AutoFocus on the front camera, has something to do with this.

Why no AF Google, why?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] avivasaf:
This is the reason, smaller sensor!

Bad quality in sharpness of the face

Very disappointed

Actually i prefer oneplus 7t/pro which i had with gcam very sharp front camera
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] EeZeEpEe:
Those specs don't mention the sensor size for the front facing Pixel 3. The mm is the lens size. The aperture is smaller on the 4 (2.0) compared to the 3 (1.8) but that mainly affects low light performance. I think it's the lack of AF is making the biggest difference. If you believe in DXO Mark reviews, which are pretty in-depth, for photos they do rank the 3 (99) better than the 4 (93) but the 4 is definitely better than the 2 (80) which, I think, still holds its own pretty well. Video is better on the 4 compared to the 2 and 3 though.View attachment 4890503

I have experienced the exact same problem... As soon as the lights get a bit low the camera turn blurry and noisy. my pixel 2xl is destroying my pixel 4xl selfies.Really hope this gets fix in the next update
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] thepersona:
I'm having the exact same issue for some reason even when I'm indoors with a certain level of light the slightest level of dark that enters the image suddenly makes the image fuzzy and grainy when taking selfies. I second the hope that the camera gets fixed in a future update as well.

[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] EeZeEpEe:
Wow someones having fun just posting negative comments on a bunch of the Pixel 4 XL threads. It's not the fastest out there but it's far from garbage.

The Pixel 4 XL charges faster than the Pixel 2 XL when it was originally released. For the Pixel 2 XL, 80-100% was painfully slow.

0:00 - 5%

0:30 - 50%

1:00 - 82% (Stopping point when topping off)

1:15 - 93%

1:30 - 98%

1:38 - 100%

It charges faster than my 3XL
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] doctor78SI:
That is quite an accomplishment.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] jimv1983:
That's not bad. Going from 0-100% in 1:38. That's almost an hour faster than my Pixel 2 XL for a bigger battery. My Pixel 2 XL goes from 0% to 80% in like 1:15. The last 20% takes like an hour. Although, to be honest, I don't mind slower charging most of the time since it is better for long term battery life.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] EeZeEpEe:
Yeah I only do fast charging in my car and if I'm at 15% mid day randomly. I use a slower charging brick for overnight charging because I like starting at 100% during my work days.

8 hours 30 minutes, not bad. And it seems like this is on 90hz.

[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] darkoroje:
Dream on. No way is there 8 hours on screen time in real life usage
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] ZeroKool76:
While I don't believe you would get that amount of SOT over a prolonged period, it does point out that raw mah isn't everything.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] crusht:
I agree it won't get that much in real life. I am curious however how the SOT will be for people that will not use the radar, no AOD and possibly even no face unlock, stay on 60hz and just want a great camera, good speed and latest assistant and have the best Google ecosystem experience. I am that kind of user.

I looked at the 3axl but it is noticeably slow and I need a fast phone for different work needs.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] ZeroKool76:
no doubt, those conditions that you just stated should save a substantial amount of battery life. My 6T is 3700mah and I get around 6-8hrs sot(depending on usage) no reason to think the pixel can't achieve that with superior software.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] PuffinNugz:
Got the phone yesterday, charged all the way up before turning on at about 5pm. Went to bed about midnight. Galaxy S2 watch connected around 7 pm. Did setup, some netflix, and typical messing around with a new phone. Didn't screen shot it, but when I was going to bed last night, I had 4h03M SOT with 47% left. I don't expect it to translate to 7hrs or anything, but it seems better than my previous Note 9 and S8+.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] Badger50:
Roger that on the N9! My wife's N9 looses a minimum of 10% overnight at idle. Shoot, my Chevy suburban with 6 people going uphill at 75mph gets better mileage! ???
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] Pix4xl:
I got the phone yesterday and charged it too 100% and my screen on time was 6hrs 5 Mon with 9% left. I don't get why the negative battery comments and reviews so far. 6 hours is more than enough.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] Kevtrejo37:
First cycle with dynamic 90hz no point of forcing always to 90hz. Most social media apps. Tg and duo suck a lot of battery.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] crusht:
How was the duo quality for you and the other person?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] Kevtrejo37:
Lol ? it was alright when they were on data and it improved when connected to WiFi
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] pkmoazzam:
The battery is not that bad... here are my screenshots. I am not a gaming person but I usually was surfing the internet, Facebook, etc... and use message app and did use the camera. I turned motion sense off since I am Deaf so I can't hear the music and my hands are getting tired from wave and wave.

sorry for bad grammar.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] ZeroKool76:
Good. Maybe the haters will STFU now
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] cliffr39:
Got my 4XL yesterday and it was at 60% out of the box. I used it like normal and with more than 3hr 30min of screen on-time it was at 24%. I don't think it will be that bad.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] Kevtrejo37:
2nd cycle I guess since it's under 75% it was at 60hz didn't notice any difference screen still very smooth.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] crusht:
Explain
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] sphinxy:
I believe they meant the screen brightness was under 75%. When it is, the screen only runs at 60hz.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] Pix4xl:
So I've had the Pixel 4 XL , for 3 full days in the UK now.

Day 1 SOT was 6 hrs 3 mins with 9% left

Day 2 SOT was 6 hrs 15 min with 4 % left

Day 3 SOT is 5 hrs 1 min with 18% left.

The battery is more than adequate. I had the 3 XL which would get a max of just over 4 hours. I'm new.to the forum but I have screenshots as well but don't have a clue how to upload lol. The phone is on 90hz at all times too But most times you can't really tell. It's an amazing phone so fast, the disappointment is video quality again and some of the pic quality is similar levels to 3 XL but I need to fully utilise the camera.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] earth86:
I got similar SOT with 6 hr 12 min and 9% battery left. This with using "force" 90hz , 87% brightness , and always on display (thought it was not always on!). Battery is more than adequate for my usage.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] Ducter:
Thanks for the reply. I always take things with a grain of salt so to say because there's always a select few that manage outrageous SOT. 5-6 hours is about what I expected but was hoping for a bit more. I work out in the field with limited access to charging capabilities so quick top offs don't really interest me as much as single charge usage. My 6t, since getting the Q update has actually picked up about an hour SOT. If the pixel could get close to that I'd be fine. Thanks again.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] EeZeEpEe:
Yeah it's tough to say because you could possibly get more than I do. You could always test it out for two weeks or whatever the return period.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] DeeStyles:
I posted in another thread but was asked to move here. I was curious before I got my Pixel 4 XL if the rumors were true about screen on time. But mine has been nothing short of amazing. Screen brightness is constantly between 70 and 85%. Lots of YouTube, social media,a little gaming, phone calls and texts of course. My phone is set to power save at 15% so it literally just turned on. I'm not sure what some are doing but of course if you're gaming non stop and have your screen at 100% brightness all the time you won't get these numbers. But you probably won't on any phone. I was thinking I'd get 6ish hours which I could easily deal with. Not this though.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] EeZeEpEe:
9 hours is crazy good. Got a screenshot of your app usage?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] DeeStyles:
I don't. But if I recall correctly, it was over 40% YouTube and the videos I watch are set to run at the highest resolution level. Most were 1440p. 9 percent Twitter, 8 percent Facebook and 8 percent for the Hempire game. The rest were below 5%.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] sdg1980:
Finally, someone is speaking the language of a normal "like me or most people" user. Google bashing has been a fashion since the inception of Pixel series. It seems that misplaced aggression against Google as a corporation has trickled down through its smart phones. With a pure Android device constantly being updated, best overall (enhanced software) experience in the market, 6gb ram, and 3700 mAh, it CANNOT be less than 5/6 hrs SOT. Yes, it didn't get updated to December patch on time. Boo hoo hoo...... It's ridiculous that most can't even differentiate, on a regular glance of about a feet of distance between the screen and eyes, among HD+, full HD+, quad, hyrda, penta, octa, whatever the f*** those are... If you constantly want 90 display or more for whatever reason, buy an Asus ROG for $349 (will come up on sale again?) or the rectangle slab Razer 2 being sold for $399. This is not a gaming phone. This is targeted towards Vanilla loving folks and photography. Period.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] krabman:
I think Pixel devices are great and I've owned all but one and most of their predecessors in the Nexus line. I've been here from before this phone was released putting out the message that Pixel devices are about a user experience, not stats, each time it's come up. I'm saying I am not one of the people beating this phone up. I don't however agree with the concept that what you or anyone else should define what phone I buy, what I do with it, or how I do it, no matter how much sense it may make in your own operational paradigm. I like 90 hz all the time and I'm not turning it off; I don't buy features and not use them. As to screen on time I've never got 5/6 hours as you describe on this phone and never will. Then again I'm not complaining about it, the 3.5 to 4 I usually get is enough for most days and I carry a 10k brick to help me get through at such times as I need it. This BTW is normal for me, I never get anything close to the screen time some folks get on any phone I own at any time. And no, I'm not wake locked.

Maybe consider skipping the "Period." thing, it's never a good idea if for no other reason than people don't like it when someone tacks this on to the end of a statement they've made. It's also a fairly sure way to guarantee your post is going to have one or more fallacies because you've just changed your remarks to absolutes which are usually not going to withstand objective scrutiny.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] sdg1980:
You really seemed riled up. Don't get caught up in my semantics. Try and understand what I wrote. Absolutely nothing wrong, hardware wise, with 4XL and your handset for that matter. Subsequent software updates have fixed most issues with 4XL and will continue to do so. 3700mah battery will only 'grow' in real life usage i.e. function better with time. Released in Oct and it is barely Jan. :good::good:
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] krabman:
Someone pointing out the factual flaws in your argument does not make him or her "riled up", caught in your semantics, or unable to comprehend what you wrote. Your subjective opinions are completely valid as such but not applicable to all; in other words I can respect them for what they are but am not going to accept them as a truth I'm too stupid to understand. Then there is the fact that you claimed facts in evidence which are not supported by objective data. Throw a "Period." on the end of that and you're at strike three because now you've created an absolute which is almost always going to fail even a casual logic check.

Your conclusions could have been reasonably accepted without the fallacies and unsupported facts and I agree on the main although my opinions differ.

Hello,hello you may remember me from my noob questions/ problems I had sometimes with my pixel 2 xl :D

One question, I see your crazy SOT and I'm wondering about your average of screen brightness .. I remember that you don't use crap apps like Facebook, and I wanted to know if these kernel/ patch did that crazy SOT time or you had most of time low brightness?:)
[Google Pixel 4 XL Real Life Review] Badger50:
I remember my friend :cool:

My average brightness is generally in then 40-60 range. My usage hasn't changed at all. I do run the kirisakura kernel and his kernel mods. And I still get pretty good battery life on the 4xl :good:
