At MadeByGoogle 2019 event, Google showcased its new Pixel 4 and 4XL smartphones . These smartphones seriously have some amazing features. There are also some features, which are downright disappointing. Because of such quirks, Pixel 4 devices are not for everyone. Let me explain why.

We're are the end of 2019 and the Pixel 4 is amongst the last devices released this generation. I'll be fully honest here and say that the expectations for the phone for me weren't all that great, something quite unfortunate to say for any product but just a fact of reality given Google's Pixel...

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.

Pros: amazing on-device natural language processing, next-generation Google Assistant, brilliant camera, Face Unlock, Google Recorder app, Android 10 + fast updates, 90Hz screen.

Cons: poor third-party app support for Face Unlock, Face Unlock needs eyes-open fix, Google Assistant needs G Suite fix, below-average battery life, no fingerprint scanner option.

We're struggling to summarise our thoughts on the Pixel 4 and 4 XL. On one hand, they're brilliant smartphones, but on the other, we have so many gripes; the fingerprint sensor is gone, Motion Sense is gimmicky and battery life remains middling at best.

Cameras are excellent, playful design, 90Hz screen is great, slick performance and Android 10 software.

Battery live is middling at best, no fingerprint sensor, Motion Sense is gimmicky at present, the top bezel.

Google’s Pixel 4 XL Android smartphone was released late in October. There were quite a few reviews that came quickly, unfortunately, we had a few issues with our review unit. The biggest issue we had was that the device wouldn’t update to the November update.

The launch of new Pixels is now as regular as the launch of new iPhones, and Google's flagships for 2019 are the Pixel 4 and the Pixel 4 XL. New Atlas has been living with a Pixel 4 XL for several weeks, and this is our verdict on the new phone.

A solid upgrade with a few shortcomings

Hannah Stryker / Review Geek The iPhone 14 is the latest iteration of Apple’s flagship device. Since its launch, the iPhone has set the standard of what a smartphone is, what it does, and how it looks. Fifteen years later, it’s still doing that.

Top-notch cameras, Amazing display, Snappy performance, Great battery life

It's just "this year's iPhone"

The iPhone 14 isn't much of an upgrade over the iPhone 13, but it's still a great device and an upgrade for anyone coming from the iPhone 11 or older.

Great camera, Good battery, Emergency features are cool, Still excellent performance

Display could use some upgrades
