The Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL are Google's flagship phones for 2019, and we've been testing out the smaller 5.7-inch model over the past week – read on to get our thoughts on all the new features, including that extra telephoto lens, and a super-fast face unlock system.

Another amazing camera; Some cool AI tricks; Face Unlock works really well

Battery life is average; Design is a little ho-hum; Better specs out there; Missing unlimited photo storage

If you're in the market for one of the very best camera phones out there, the Pixel 4 should be at or close to the top of your list. If you're looking for an all-round feature-packed phone, you may be a bit disappointed, and the battery life is mediocre at best, but it's a solidly built device with...

Great camera is now even better; Solid easy-to-grip design; Beautiful 90Hz display

No fingerprint scanner; Battery life is poor; Motion Sense is very basic

This phone is great in terms of speed, size, look, function, camera, almost everything... But the battery is something else. Absolutely horrible. It reminds me of my old S6. Good luck getting more than 3 hours screen on time.

With some extremely clever new tricks and the same solid fundamentals - from the excellent camera to the very latest Android software - this year's flagship Pixels lean even more heavily on Google's machine learning and AI to make for a pair of proactive and delightful smartphones.

Apart from Face Unlock and Google's Soli radar-based Motion Sense features, Google Pixel 4 will have the Google Assistant locally, for the first time.

Just picked up from Best Buy and will be returning within my 14 day window. I loved the in hand feel of the Pixel 3 since it was the smallest flaghips out(sadly) and gave the pixel 4 a go as well. The matte glass is a bummer but the matte sides do give great grip and feel awesome in hand.
