I didn't expect to love it so much

I am a Android long timer and have used a number of previous Google phones from the G1 to the P3. I upgraded to the P4 right at launch and have been delighted with the new phone. It is a great looking phone with a very user friendly interface (even attested to by my wife who has been on iOS) and I...

Google Pixel 4 is the latest smart phone from Google. The device is also the direct successor of the Pixel 3 launched back in October 2018. It comes with varying improvements over the predecessor, including the use of a little larger display panel, and even a dual rear camera sensors which is the...

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

Google has launched its fourth generation of Pixel smartphones, and much has been written about the Pixel 4 XL. I've been using the smaller of the two new Google flagships to see if it can stand up to the competition.

Smooth 90Hz display; Top performance; Compact design; Excellent camera

Atrocious battery life; Motion Sense limited; No more unlimited cloud storage

With the Pixel 4, Google has delivered a great camera boosted with software wizardry. The company's first ever telephoto lens is top of its class (Don't just take our word for it: here are 20 photos taken with the Pixel 4 ).

The Pixel 4's dual rear cameras take brilliant photos and its display's high refresh rate makes navigating silky smooth; The phone will get prompt software updates and its face unlock works really fast

The phone doesn't come with earbuds; it has no expandable storage option and its battery is smaller than the Pixel 3's

The Google Pixel 4 not only looks and feels great, it has a brilliant camera for taking great photos. This, as with its predecessor, is what really sells the home-grown Google experience.

Great camera performance; Pure Android software; Exclusive smart features; We love the tactile design - especially in Just White and Oh So Orange; Great (albeit small) display

Battery life really isn't its strong suit; Motion Sense gestures add little to nothing; No wide-angle camera; No third-party face unlock support - and no fingerprint scanner as backup

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.

The Pixel 4 is a more or less equal mixture of delight and frustration. It's impressive in all the ways we've come to expect from Google's devices; the aforementioned camera is the unquestionable highlight, and some of the software features are incredibly clever.

Fantastic camera; Smart software features

No fingerprint sensor; Terrible battery life; Low starting storage allocation
