Glass and case came from China with the Google Pixel 4. When I opened the package, the poor build quality immediately caught my eye: the back cover is badly glued and pulls away. Therefore, IP 68 water protection cannot be expected. Also included is a charger, cable and a clip for removing the SIM card.
As for the Pixel 4 XL version, it also came with a glass case. But the assembly of this smartphone turned out to be good.
After the experiment, it turned out that these smartphones do not have any protection against dust and moisture.
Also, face unlock was not working on Pixel 4 XL. And in general, since both devices come with flaws, you will most likely get smartphones with some flaws.
The screen diagonal of the Pixel 4 version was 5.7 inches, and the Pixel 4 XL version was 6.3 inches. True, they sometimes turned green when the brightness was reduced.
Both versions are equipped with Snapdragon 855 processor. The amount of memory is 6 GB of RAM and 64/128 GB of permanent memory. The device as a whole works very fast.
I chose it instead of advertising.
Currently, Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL run on Android 13. True, they will not be updated to version 14, but security updates will continue to come to these devices for a few more years.
The biggest downside to the Pixel 4 and 4 XL is their battery life. The volume of the batteries is 2800 and 3700 mAh. As such, the Pixel 4 XL is barely getting to the end of the day, and the Pixel 4 isn’t even lasting a day. Smartphones also support wireless charging.
When it comes to cameras, smartphones do not have the ultra-wide feature. But there is a main wide-angle module of 12 MP, a telephoto lens of 16 MP. You can see sample photos above.
Overall, the Google Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL are still relevant today. And if you find them in good condition, you can safely take them. True, all this will mostly apply to the XL version.
Recall that as of April 13, the price of a Google Pixel 4 smartphone on the AliExpress market starts from about 14,200 rubles. Google Pixel 4 XL can be purchased from 16,350 rubles, respectively.
