Marques is normally a HUGE pixel fan. For him to not recommend this phone to most people, is saying something.
Yeah Marquez is usually a huge fan of Pixels, but looks like the Pixel 4 broke him for a few reasons:
1. The competition has gotten significantly better whereas Google has barely moved forward.
2. The standout feature of the Pixel, the camera, has now been bested by the cheaper iPhone 11.
3. The battery life on the Pixel 4 is simply not acceptable when everyone else is putting 4k+ mAh batteries in their phones.
4. Soli as MKBHD called it, is a gimmick and has very limited use.
So what is he supposed to get excited about? The 90hz screen is offset by the increased battery usage and that it doesn't turn on the 90hz very often. Face unlock can be extremely inconvenient as he mentioned, you don't necessarily want to unlock your phone every time you look at it.
Can't blame him for the review. At least he's honest and not shilling for Google.
I'm honestly not trying to sound like an Android Homer when I say this but the zoom is going to be more useful to me than the wide angle lense. I mean just last week I was trying to take a picture of an Elk out in a field and the zoom got so grainy. I hope the zoom is as clear as they say it is.
Sure, except other phones have both options; telephoto and ultra wide. No reason why Google couldn't have included both.
