Google Pixel 4 64GB Clearly White

Product Information

Google says you'll need to head out of light-polluted cities and into the countryside to take advantage of this new mode, and you'll also need to brace the Pixel 4 against a stable surface, or mount it on a tripod or other support – only when the phone detects that it's fully stable will it be able to capture the 15 long-exposure shots required to produce a well-exposed and detailed image. As one of the only phones on the market with a 90Hz display, the Pixel 4 has a market-leading screen. Google likes to keep things simple in terms of hardware though, and there's a 12MP main camera (f/1. It works perfectly well for selfie shots, though it’s missing the wide-angle front camera innovation we saw on the Pixel 3.

You can double-tap the Pokémon to cycle through different characters, with Pikachu and Eevee among those on board. On-screen you'll find Android 10, the latest version of Google's mobile operating system, which features the firm's smart assistant baked into its core and new gesture controls. Google hasn't tried to break the mold with the Pixel 4, instead playing things safe with an incremental update. Another new addition for the Pixel 4 series is animated Pokémon wallpapers, and if you wave your hand over the phone the pocket monster on the screen will react with a wave or a loving smile.

The phone took an hour and 53 minutes to entirely recharge – as with other fast-charging technologies, Googles focuses on speed initially to give you a quick top up, then slows down to finish charging your device. This Pixel 4 also supports wireless charging, which we found useful when sitting at a desk, as we could prop the device up on a wireless charging stand or place it on a charging mat to ensure it was topped up throughout the day. The photography hardware isn’t remarkably different compared to the Pixel 3, but Google has delivered another impressive camera setup here, with shots looking even more detailed than before. Two rear cameras is still pretty modest these days though, with most high-end flagships boasting three, four and in some cases even five.

Assistant in Android 10 is also context-aware, and if you bark a second command within 15 seconds of your first question, you won't need to wake it – it'll already be listening. As we’ve said, the Pixel 4’s battery life isn’t impressive at all, and we found it often wouldn’t last the full day without needing a recharge. As mentioned, the big upgrade on the Pixel 4 is the inclusion of a second rear camera – this is the first time Google has put more than one lens on the rear of a handset. That’s not terrible, but also not the best we’ve seen as phones like the OnePlus 7T Pro have previously scored only 10% battery drop. If you currently use your fingerprint to sign into Android apps like banking apps, you won’t be able to do so on the Pixel 4.It’s also available in Australia, where it's available on Telstra, Vodafone, Optus and other carriers. It’s not the perfect cure-all, but it offers more versatility than the iPhone controls if you have patience. It’s an odd choice that we don’t particularly appreciate, as it cuts into the amount of display that’s on offer. The Pixel 4 isn’t the smallest device on the market, but it’s much easier to use in one hand than a lot of other flagship smartphones in the Android space at the moment. We were able to adjust them independently via two on-screen sliders and, with a solid minute of tinkering, reduce the blown out backgrounds and see our once-shadowy subject.
