The phone has some minor wear but it is now a brick. Casual camera phone users who want to take photos at any time and don’t need tricks from hardcore zoom or ultra-wide lenses should seriously consider the Google Pixel 4 XL, as most of the camera magic happens behind the screen.

(Last edited You like pragmatic full-featured phones Both have a lot of promise - and a lot of room to grow before they become killer features of the Pixel 4 XL. A minimalistic screen that shows up when your phone is locked, serving as a quick way to see the time, weather, and pending notifications without having to wake the device. Some of that is likely taken up by the reinstated top bezel, and we could nitpick here in pointing out the lost screen real estate with the dismissal of the notch, but those screen nibs were never that useful anyway. In one representative instance, we went from 100% to 50% in around 8 hours under typical conditions, which included shooting some photos, listening to audio, and streaming content, but mostly just texting and browsing the internet. Yet the iPhone 11 Pro Max is also more expensive at a baseline, and given the Pixel 4 XL will get Android updates as soon as they’re released by Google, the OS update lead Apple’s phones have over other models doesn’t apply. If you want a phone that screams elite with slick looks, try the even pricier Samsung or Huawei flagships. Choose the "Lock my screen" section on the left panel. 11:24 PM The iPhone 11 Pro Max has a bigger (6.5-inch) screen with a notch and, funnily enough, a similar matte glass back. It combines all your game apps and settings in one spot so you can access everything quickly when you want to take a break and play a game or two on your device.

You can also set it to dimly light the screen and show notifications when it detects motion, which might be the most useful application of the tech, but it’s not much of a feature. Considering the stiff competition from the iPhone 11 line’s improved night photo modes, it’s no shock that the Pixel 4 XL’s Night Shift has been upgraded. While Google claims that the phone should last through a day of use, especially with the enabled-by-default Adaptive Battery that limits infrequently-used apps’ background activity, our limited experience saw the phone falling short. If you think one of the apps on your Samsung device is causing the Samsung J7 touch screen not working issue, you may want to reboot your device into the safe mode to investigate the issue.

Summon it by swiping from either bottom corner of the phone, squeezing the lower sides with Active Edge, tapping the Assistant icon, or simply saying “Hey Google” or “Okay Google.”. The alarm-muting function works like a charm, but controlling music is worse than hit-or-miss: we often accidentally skipped songs while absently moving our hands around the phone. Heck, if Apple can get away with 4GB of RAM in its blazingly-fast iPhone 11 series, the Pixel 4 XL should be just fine. Even though Google has made strides to speed up Android version adoption with its Android One program, it still takes months (if not the better part of a year) before many phones get the update. The Google Pixel 4 XL release date is Thursday, October 24 and the price starts at $899 / £829 / AU$1,279 for the measly 64GB of storage model. Does anyone know what the exact fix is for this?

The Galaxy S10 Plus is a flagship in every sense of the word with an appropriate price tag. Despite its poor execution, the LG G8 had a good idea when it included aerial gestures with its Air Motion feature, and the Google Pixel 4 XL’s Motion Sense does technically work better. The Huawei P30 Pro is still the king of our camera phones list, but that’s also dependent on capability: the phone’s photo software is good, but not as good as the Pixel 4 XL’s. It manages a 77-degree field of view (FOV), which is far from the 123-degree FOV in the Samsung Galaxy S10, for instance, but it gets the job done.

New York, in, @userIiqCbTz0gZ I certainly understand your frustration regarding this. Basic tasks (like opening apps or turning on features) are faster, and Assistant should be smarter about what you’re asking it to do while you’ve got certain apps open - while in YouTube, for instance, asking “search for lo-fi chillhop” will start a search within the video platform. The Google Pixel line is about doing the basics best for a little less coin, but it’s still a top-tier phone. It isn’t totally accurate - we had it listen to one of the greatest speeches of all time and the phone elided or misheard every tenth word or so - but it’s free and useful in a pinch. I being searching ,this Phone, Loock like is not the best. Galaxy S20 Power off button in Power button options (Power-off menu) As mentioned earlier, the Power off button on the Galaxy S20 notification panel and quick settings panel only directs you the Power-off menu (Power button options, Power menu). @SamsungJoJo, ‎09-13-2019 Given how much Google trumpeted the ultra-wide effect achieved by the Google Pixel 3 XL’s dual-lens selfie, it’s a shame the company quietly diminished it in the new model, though the drop to 90-degree FOV (down from 97 in its predecessor) isn’t as bad as it could be. Score another for Apple’s Face ID. While the light pollution of NYC keeps the Astrophotography setting from triggering, you can still get a lot out of the camera - even without Night Sight, as here. The Google Pixel 4 XL’s shots come out a bit warmer than other phones, but with fantastic background clarity and resistance to flare effects. I would recommend visiting a UBreakIFix location in your area for an authorized technician to take a better look at your device. ) in, Called up customer services as directed. The added telephoto lens produces sharper zoomed images and truer portrait mode effects, while Night Sight has improved, too.

Combine that with a Pixel 4 XL optional setting to delete backed-up photos when storage becomes limited (starting with the oldest) and users can mitigate the phone’s low storage woes. Live Caption, first shown off at Google IO 2019, is one of these new perks heading to the previous generation: if you’re playing any video or spoken audio (aside from phone and video calls, per Google), you can tap the screen to bring up the volume slider with a new keyboard button below - tap the latter to activate Live Caption, and voila, the content will have captions. The Google Pixel 4 XL is a handsome phone in its simplicity that, by the same coin, feels less impressive than its Android flagship counterparts. Click "Lock" on the bottom of the screen. But oh, what photos they are – combined with the Super Res Zoom introduced in the Pixel 3, zoomed-in photos are much crisper. Those aren’t quite landmark features, and the remaining highlights are such a grab bag of improvements that it’s not clear what’s better overall about the Pixel 4 XL. Plus, it’s not as secure as Apple’s facial identification. Given it’s not used anywhere else on the phone, it’s something of a stillborn addition, and while more apps could code in functionality, the onus is on Google to make this feature resonate enough for users to learn it. There’s even a pair of sliders added to the basic photo modes – Brightness and Shadow – that let you preview image tweaks before taking shots. Ultimately, it’s a slight discount over other plus-sized flagships, but the lack of parity in frilly features and hardware makes it hard to judge if this is an even exchange. The Google Pixel 4 packs a Snapdragon 855 chipset, which isn’t quite as advanced as the mid-year upgrade Snapdragon 855 Plus, but that’s not a deal-breaker. By Google’s own admission (via a disclaimer in the Face Unlock settings page), it can be unlocked while a user’s eyes are closed, like while they’re sleeping…or dead. My phone was 2 weeks past the warrenty period when this happened. Instead of more physical buttons, you can summon Google Assistant by squeezing the sides below the volume rocker. Help please. This might be the most crucial comparison, and a welcome one if Google’s new big flagship’s price tag is tough to stomach. Or a button press wouldn't even register. Wait for a few minutes, the PIN you set on the web browser just now can be used to unlock your Samsung Galaxy. There are a couple workarounds, thankfully, as Google still allows users to upload as many images as they want into the cloud via Google Photos at limited ‘high quality’ for free (capped at 16MP and 1080p video). Other than journalists, media employees and the hearing-impaired, we don’t know if too many users will even try it out. The only bigger tier is 128GB, which is the baseline for just about every other Android flagship released this year, and far below the terabyte of storage at the top end of phones like the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus. But the new display is superior to its predecessor in terms of refresh rate, which has been bumped up to 90Hz. Several years ago, Google introduced its Soli radar technology on stage at Google IO - and now it’s finally here, implanted in a pair of chips on either side of the Pixel 4 XL's front-facing camera. This can be tweaked to take more or less force to activate (we set it to lower sensitivity as we kept accidentally activating it when picking the handset up). The Google Pixel 4 XL is a curious step for Google that minimizes the physical design while striking out in new territory with experimental features. Motion Sense, on the other hand, is a feature in search of a purpose. 11:26 PM At launch, Motion Sense can do essentially two things: skip or repeat songs by swiping over the phone, and quieting alarms or dismissing calls when you reach for the handset. Really frustrating. This Galaxy S10 Plus is a pleasure to own around this price range. A button would get "stuck," in that I let go of a certain button like the B button, and the controller would think I'm still holding on to it. The screen is not dead but is is unresponsive. But the Google Pixel advantage has never been in lenses - it’s in the software, which has worked wonders with even a single lens. 09:22 AM For one, it’s a little finicky, unlocking most - but not all - of the time. The effect is incredible, clearly showing planets and stars while also illuminating the foreground, including people. ‎09-13-2019 You want a more affordable flagship The Pixel 4 XL introduces several new app perks and features which seem like great little additions that, let’s face it, not everyone will use. Interestingly, when my phone is plugged in, the charging screen sometimes shows up although the screen remains unresponsive and the charging screen looks green and grainier than normal. While the latter aren’t widely implemented enough to be useful, the rest of the device lives up to its predecessors’ legacy, and it’s a supreme vehicle for the newly-improved camera. Copyright© 1995-2021 All Rights Reserved. There will probably be some consumers who rightly opt for the Pixel 4 XL over the smaller model simply to ensure their phone lasts as long as it can - which, at least now (and barring serious optimization down the line with a software update) is about or under a day. At launch, the Pixel 4 XL doesn’t come with the usual headphones in the box: instead, Google is giving new owners a $100 promo credit to the Google Store so they can pick up what accessories they want. in, You need to contact the customer support of Samsung in order to get a new device, you can't really do anything with a damaged display, ‎07-01-2019 I can then see if any of those options let the phone boot correctly. Read on. With the included package of Google and Android apps (plus a few others) and a week’s worth of photos and video, we’d already used up a third of that amount. Screen marroon then flashes light green, rings but no way to do anything, https://www.samsung.com/us/support/ubreakifix, Phone charging port fried - no support on Samsung. We didn’t notice it was working until we switched it off to reveal a harsher, colder-temp default color setting - which is kind of the point. Where the Google Pixel 4 XL cuts corners is in storage, which starts at 64GB - an insultingly low amount in 2019. Game Booster is another handy feature that provides tools and performance information while you're playing games. in, I'm in the exact same situation !I figured that sometimes after trying repeatedly (like, over 20 times) to lock/unlock, it might start working just fine for a while.Being located in norther europe (Finland), where can I find help with this ? The rear glass is either matte (in Clearly White and Oh So Orange colors) or glossy (Just Black) finish. Unfortunately, due to the current trade tiff between the US and China (and Huawei in the sanction spotlight), it’s unclear if the phone’s Android pipeline will be shut down in the future, making it harder to recommend the P30 Pro, which could lose out on all-important security updates as well as the big annual feature versions. We pretty much found it to work as advertised. Forced restarts and factory resources do not appear to work. While other Android flagships have strived for ever-sleeker and glossier looks, the Google Pixel line has hewed toward simpler rounded geometry - the ‘premium’ has been in the hardware and software, not the design. It uses the handset’s sensors to detect if you’ve been involved in a car accident and, if the user doesn’t respond when the app checks in, will call 911. In what may be the biggest drawback of the phone, the Google Pixel 4 XL’s battery life is, by today’s standards, barely adequate. But silly tri-lens block aside, it looks more like a premium device than the Pixel 4 XL, and comes with more on-device storage space at the top tier. It shouldn’t be a surprise that, with such a focus on software over hardware, the Pixel line’s mid-range entry is a solid value pick with nearly all its pricier siblings’ features at little over half the cost of the Pixel 4 XL. But in practice, we found that we activated Motion Sense more on accident than on purpose, and its extremely limited use cases pretty much doom the feature to be forgotten if it doesn't become more widespread on the phone. © That’s reflected in the physical design, too: gone is the Pixel 3’s two-tone gloss-and-matte back, replaced with a frosted rear glass finish (except in the Just Black color) and, on the front, a full top bezel instead of a notch. Took it to my nearest samsung fix store (Surrey Quays) and they fixed it in a matter of hours. Further, Google Pixel 4 XL’s Face Unlock isn’t a biometric supported by bank apps just yet - heck, it doesn’t even work with Google Pay - so kiss your quick authentication goodbye for now. The Pixel 4 XL’s 6GB of RAM definitely pales in comparison to other Android flagships, but we didn’t see any performance dips or other signifiers of memory limitations. All together, the phone is more of a pragmatist’s flagship, eschewing the shimmering gradients and waterfall-edged displays of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 or Huawei Mate 30 Pro in favor of bold-hued simplicity. A lovely angle, but the lack of an ultra-wide lens makes it hard to get this all in frame while still blocking the sun just so at the top of the art piece. Future US, Inc. 11 West 42nd Street, 15th Floor, Sure, it will probably get better with later updates, but it’s less consistent than we’d expect coming from the tech giant, especially since it features the promising debut of the long-awaited Soli radar technology. The screen is not dead but is is unresponsive. The camera app switches to the new lens at around 1.8x zoom with barely a hitch, which is a nice touch, though the telephoto shoots slightly less warm photos. I live within 1 - 1.5 hours of some of the samsung approved fix locations but would like to better understand the cost and effort to fix this before making that trek. On top of that, there is no microSD card slot to manually expand storage, which feels like the final guardrail funneling users toward Google’s suggested solution: the company’s Google One cloud storage, which carries a monthly subscription. It’s easy to get depth effects from basic shots and the camera preserves the foreground with stunning clarity - we’ve gotten some truly spectacular water shots. A new feature, Ambient EQ, taps the onboard sensors to automatically adjust the display’s color temperature to mimic the surrounding environment. As for the front-facing camera suite, to make room for the Soli radar chips placed alongside the front-facing lenses, the two selfie shooters present in last year’s model have been reduced to just one 8MP camera. And much better software. It’s not at the head of the pack for new, industry-leading features - but if you like shooting photos without much fuss, the Google Pixel 4 XL is for you. The new 16MP f/2.4 telephoto lens offers a 2x optical zoom, and hits a hybrid zoom of up to 8x. Face Unlock does exactly what it says, and after Google stripped the rear fingerprint sensor from this generation of Pixel phones, it’s the only biometric method of unlocking the phone or authenticating. S10 Died/unresponsive. Other phones, even flagships from Samsung, often have to wait months (if not the better part of a year). To reboot your Samsung phone into safe mode, press the Power button and tap and hold down on the Restart option to reboot your device into the safe mode. As befits a Google flagship phone, the Pixel 4 XL comes in a few cute hues: an accurately-named Just Black, the black-bordered Clearly White (known as the ‘penguin color’ by phone aficionados) and Oh So Orange - which is somewhere between salmon and orange sherbet. The display’s Live HDR+, a new feature, shows a more accurate preview of your images – ideally, what you see before you take the shot is what you get after. Otherwise, the phone isn’t too different from the Google Pixel handsets you know and love - but stripping out the fingerprint sensor in favor of Face Unlock’s finicky facial-recognition seems like a generational tech shove that we normally see from Apple. Interestingly, when my phone is plugged in, the charging screen sometimes shows up although the screen remains unresponsive and the charging screen looks green and grainier than normal. The Google Pixel 4 XL’s camera suite remains the standout perk of the phone. 09:49 AM Glossy, sleek, chromed, gradient - these are not words to describe the Google Pixel 4 XL. Those who want a no-frills Android flagship with a sensible design will love the Google Pixel 4 XL. 04:00 PM That essentially guarantees you’ll need to juice your phone back up at least once during the day, which is disappointing. Users will have to set it up beforehand, and it’s only available in the US at the moment. You want the latest updates as soon as they're available Yet the Note 10 comes with Android 9 Pie out of the box, and given how long it takes Samsung phones to get big updates, it might not get Android 10 until 2020. What it does have is more lenses, and a very generous 5x optical zoom lens. 11:58 PM
