I have the Pixel 4 XL 128GB in Clearly white and definitely am happy with the phone. Pixels have never been about competing in mere paper specs but rather about offering a great user experience with great camera. The Pixel 4 is definitely an upgrade over the Pixel 3. Great camera, great software and much better battery than reviewers give it credit for. I have used many phones and generally they all are good in specific areas but Pixels have been my favorite recently.

The only reason why Google was praised was the camera and now, even the 7T Pro beat it on some shots. So why bother buying such a crap? Google is seriously garbage even Apple was able to make this years Iphones very interesting. Apple over Google anyday.

Mate 30 Pro has better battery life. I prefer Mate 30 Pro for longevity.

You disagree with me saying that the rating is too high for this phone, but then you say it's a fair rating because they made too many compromises and stuff...
I sense a language barrier issue here...
You're just giving me tech specs of a random Huawei phone.
I'm saying the phone is not in a 4.0 state at the moment, and the star ratings in general are pointless and useless and should be ignored or removed all together, they diminish the integrity and credibility of the reviewer. Same goes for movies and video game ratings. "This game is 90%"... 90% of what? Good? Bad? 90% action? 90% sex scenes? Buying games or renting a movie based on stars and imdb points is idiotic, same as buying a phone based on that. It's personal preference and tastes and needs, not everyone cares about the same features in the same way. Coldn't care less about the camera on my phone, or a headphone jack, for example. Yeah, I'm one of those weirdos.

123, 30 Oct 2019I disagree. Star rating is very good and fair 4.0! too many compromises for that price tag!
L... moreNot talking about Mate30 here, never mentioned it, not sure why you're bringing it up. I steer clear from Xiaomi, Huawei and such, since I had a couple and hated them, also the notches and puncholes make me sick, still waiting for that useless fad nobody asked for to go away.
The 4.0 rating on this phone makes no sense if you read the entire review, it should be lower. A lot. It's a mediocre phone to start with, with added broken feafures, bad battery life and serious security issue. A 4.0 phone should be acceptable for the majority of people to buy, considering the price as well. Nobody should buy this phone for that price in the state that it's in right now, until Google fixes their stuff and lowers the price. That was my point regarding star ratings, i don't care about if this phone is good or not or what other brands are better. The ratings in general make very little sense and are misleading, which is very obvious in this case. That's my point.
Does this thing even have IP6x rating??? Oh right, and the storage options, forgot about that...yeah...Google really wants you tu buy that cloud storage, really badly. They're pulling an "Apple" here, but hey Google, you're not Apple and your user base is very different than Apple's, that shyte don't fly with us. We're capable of installing an SD card into a device, thank you.

With all due respect, you guys should really ditch the star rating system because it's starting to make less and less sense. Rating system on anything makes very little sense, there is context and details that should matter to the user, points and stars tell you nothing. You might buy a five star phone and be completely unsatisfied with it. When I read the entire review, I expected it would get 3 stars max. On Pros you admire the face unlock (which is essentially broken and shouldn't be used at the moment), but you also condemn it in Cons, it makes no sense. It has hyped essential features broken or unpolished and unfinished, how many stars and points does that camera bring in to justify all the issues?
If this was a Sony, it would get obliterated by stars and points and reviews in general. The reason I mention Sony is because I was on the fence between Xperia 5 and Pixel 4, wasn't sure what to buy. Either way, this review helped me decide, but what I'm saying is just in good intention and with all respect, revamp or eliminate the star rating, it's useless and often misleading and contradictory. The battery performance alone would cripple the rating a lot for some reviewers, not to mention the rest of the issues. And the price...Jesus...How good is that camera really, is it 800$ good and the rest is for the actual phone? Come on...
It's like you gave it a rating for in the future when maybe eventually the issues get fixed, if they do fix them. I'm all for making updates to reviews, if a phone gets a major update that fixes serious problems, great, give it another precious star, but not before and in advance.
Also updating reviews with newly found negative remarks, like for example with the S10 or Note10, whichever it is that can be unlocked with an unregistered fingerprint... That stuff should be added in bold red and all capitals in the reviews, not to mention Samsung should notify their users with a service message, a pop-up of sorts, warn them not to use the feature or whatever, it's a serious security risk. I bet you Samsung will never be able to fully solve this because it is the essential flaw in how that fingerprint reader is designed, it was flawed when they first introduced it, still is, I'm amazed they're sticking with it.
