I forced 90hz and honestly I can't see a difference either. Battery life didn't take a huge hit from what I could see. Since I couldn't notice a difference though I turned off 90hz totally and have it set on 60hz.

I charged the phone after pickup yesterday morning and I have about an hour of slow charging in the vehicle (connected to AA). I have 42% remaining with 5hr 42m screen on time. On the XL I don't think battery is too much of a concern. I plan to test out 90hz setting after the next full...

Sadly this doesn't surprise me. What happened to the days when tech support knew their own product?

I think you have a defective device....but....it sounds like it just isn't the right device for you anyway. I'm sorry you had such a frustrating experience. My Pixel 4 XL is working great so far. I am very pleased with it. I too had a frustrating experience with a device so I can understand...

Picked up my Pixel 4 XL 128 GB from BB at around 11am this morning. I had a Note 10 + and had nothing but problems with it on Mint Mobile. Before that I had a Pixel 2 XL which worked perfectly on Mint Mobile so I decided to get the 4 XL. I have been very happy with the device so far! All...

So Marques is out with more on Pixel 4 XL. After watching this video it seems to me like he is meh on the device too. Sadly he is stating what I have heard before...that the iPhone might be a better buy. https://youtu.be/mfbSqTB74xM

Re: Seems like more folks are "meh" for Pixel 4 than excited? I was answering your question and your reply. I already said I don't want to debate the issue here for the very reason you cited above. I am confident the Pixel 4 will be a better fit for me.

Re: Seems like more folks are "meh" for Pixel 4 than excited? I am assuming you mean for things like wifi calling and VoLTE? The Note 10 + is an unlocked device and GSM it's also supported by Mint. They even sell the Note 10 on their site. Putting my wifi calling issue...

The main thing is that I need the device to work properly with my carrier (Mint Mobile) which the Note 10 + does not. I need it to take decent photos, have reliable wifi calling, have reliable texting, do Android Auto, YouTube, Duo, etc. I have been struggling with the wifi calling and have...

I think the 2 XL is still a decent device. I traded my 2 XL in on my Note 10 + back in August. The Note 10 + hasn't worked out for me. I am going for the Pixel 4 XL 128 GB. If for some reason that doesn't work it's going back and I will pickup a used Pixel 2 XL and see what next year brings.

Those clamps are totally insane! Wow!

Re: Seems like more folks are "meh" for Pixel 4 than excited? They ar different platforms but iOS isn't so much more efficient that it needs only 1/4 the amount of RAM vs. An Android flagship device. The RAM management issues on Pixel 3 were patched up fairly quickly from what I...

I agree. Folks seem to put a lot of emphasis on RAM but Apple still gets away with 4 GB of RAM on their iPhone 11 Pro devices here in 2019.

I'm getting the White XL 128 GB model

It's a good idea. I use sync.com for my cloud storage. Very similar operation to dropbox and lower price. Plus they are based in Canada so one might feel better knowing their data would be a little more difficult to obtain by US law enforcement. Not that I have to worry about law...
