    Google's Pixel 4 XL Is A Slam Dunk in the Mobile World!

    The Google Pixel 4 XL 128GB surely is a staple in the mobile phone world, Google's persistence and keeping it simple makes setup a snap, I migrated from the Google Pixel 2 XL 128GB without any delays aside from 2 apps being unsupported in data backup via PC (app developers' fault.) It is a fast phone with a lot of user features, I love the simplicity of the facial recognition. I first thought early on that removing the fingerprint scanner would grow dislike on my end, but turns out that Google's facial recognition A.I. is reliable, no more sweaty finger prints when leaving the gym or ineligible prints on a cold day. The camera is a solid 6.5 out of 10, there's room for improvements, compared to Samsung's flagship S20 models and wide photographs, Google is behind. I would hope they compete within the next 2-4 years throughout that arena. Another fault is the limited storage options. Along with better cameras, comes larger storage usage - we need more capacity options. For protection, I recommend the vCommute case along with Zagg's tempered glass (anti-bacterial) screen protector.) Last worthy mention: We're still waiting for the Pixel Earbuds, WearOS is doing solid paired with Android, shoutout to @Fossil for the upgraded Gen 5! This device is an easy win for me.

    Best Android phone available today-Straight from Google!

    As an Android guy, this phone is the cream of the crop. Super smooth thanks to the Snapdragon 821, high resolution AMOLED display, excellent camera, and a good day and a half of battery life. The fingerprint reader is slightly slower than the one on my OnePlus 3, but the more responsive screen and updates straight from Google more than compensate. Software side, it's Android 7 Nougat with all the new features. It does come with the custom Pixel launcher with Google assistant integrated, which I really like as I have home automation set up with Google home devices, and assistant acts as an extension of that. For most people it is a very competent equivalent to Siri, and in my opinion better as it integrates with more apps and responds with information relevant to your question instead of just showing the results of a web search. Only real downside is the price, which is quite high. It IS a premium device made by HTC, so you are certainly getting a quality product with the solid build quality for which HTC is known for that price. I have 3 of these devices and none have shown any defects or faults in manufacturing. tl;dr get it now!

    Love my google phone ❤️

    I've always owned Apple or Samsung phones. My boyfriend has a Google phone and loves it. I wasn't sure at first how I would like it but I do! When I first got it the phone got a little hot in the back by the camera and it shut off and I couldn't get it to turn back on. I did a force restart on the device once I googled how to. The phone came right back on and I haven't had issues since. The screen of the phone was perfect which is huge for me! There are some scratches on the body of the phone but that expected with a used device. So far I love the phone and I'm glad I made the decision to get it. I love the fact it has the bigger storage capacity as well and was worth the extra money you spend for it!

    Google Pixel Is Great

    Was time for a real good phone so I treated myself to the Google Pixel XL. Super fast processor cannot be ignored, battery life is really good but for me the XL screen is smaller than my last phone but the display is so brilliant, visible and crisp so it makes up for the only 5.5" screen. Like many users I wish they did not have the wide bezel and empty chin (buttons are on the screen not at the bottom of the phone) and I still do not understand having that glass panel on the back. See a lot of these Pixels on eBay with broken top back glass. Fingerprint reader is nice. It's a learning curve using this phone but once you have it, you have it and it's a superior phone to any I've had. The camera is awesome as well.

    just what i wanted & needed!!

    i really love this device. it does what I want it to do, how i want things done and as fast i want them done.. very rarely in life do we get what we want, but even better is when we get what we need all in the same lil backage! the screen is one of the best i've had the pleasure of viewing. it fits so very perfectly in my hand , like it was MADE to be there! and the internal storage is perfect!! no need for a micro sd card. i know there are faster devices out ther..yay. but this just simply works for me..and make no mistake it is ZIPPY!! and for the price it's trending at? well worth the $. yep..i love this lil bit o tech!

    Love, love, love!!!

    The Pixel XL is an upgrade for me from a Samsung Galaxy S5. I love all the features, it's fast and easy to use. The battery life is about 24 hours with normal use but less if you use it for games or other stuff. It has a pretty quick re-charge time. Even though the phone I purchased only has 32G internal memory and cannot be upgraded, I haven't come close to using much memory at all. You can always upload to a cloud drive if necessary. I like the fingerprint unlock on the back. I haven't used the camera yet but the reviews give it 5 stars. The main reason I purchased this phone was the price and the reviews. I cannot see paying big bucks for a cell phone.

    Fast, easy and covers and full of pleasant surprises.

    Nice to use , very responsive and quick. Feels good in hand and is an eyecatcher...looks great with the blue Google case. The camera is excellent and has night vision that really works. The fingerprint scanner is fast and a most welcome seem less security feature..it is ready to go when I am ready to usey phone. There is one feature that is special for me...when 911 is dialed the phone shows the street address where I am ..no guessing and when you are on unfamiliar turf or don't know a cross street that gets help to you asap- a lifesaver because our 911 services only have gps locators on landlines! Great phone !

    Major GO in late 2018!

    I was hesitant at first about going with the first Pixel XL. I thought about buying the pixel 3 XL, but after seeing the price tag that was a major No. This device out performs most of the newer flagships, and you can't beat the price. Although Adroid Pie is the last OS update the XL will receive; but it'll do well for the next 2 years. Then I'll upgrade to the Pixelnot2 XL. The only initial downside is the Battery, but after the a little heat to the back and a little YouTube; it's perfect. I'd definitely recommend, especially to someone who wants great performance without the thousand-dollar price tag.

    I am very happy about this purchase.!

    Right out of the package it feels solid and looks great ..it is blue and I put a lighter blue Google case on it.Everyone who has seen my phone remarks about how special it looks. It is a perfect size ..easy to type on and see text and images but not so big that it intrudes on other must carry items. Google updates were available and easy to put on .The fingerprint scanner is fast and reliable . The camera is excellent .The phone helps you learn to discover. it's special features at times when it is appropriate to use them.I am happy and I think I got a great buy.

    Amazing price amazing phone battery not the best

    I think that this phone is amazing for the price. there's very minor scratches on it to the point where you would never notice unless you were looking. the only con is that it seems to take a bit longer than expected to charge but lasts long once charged (18+hrs) I have a battery widget that told me it should last about 22 hours of charge but it actually says 5 hours. I expected some wear and tear on the battery but not to this degree. It did come packaged well and safe, and with a USB C charger. I still recommend the phone I'm happy with it overall good deal
