I'm happy with my 4 xl

[almath]

I broke down and bought the pixel 4 xl. I was really interested in how the motion gesture work and soli.

I'll keep it as a play phone because it just can't match up to my note 10 as a daily driver.

We will see more people who were complaining and then eventually come back and say I broke down, this phone is great etc

I'm very much not happy with my Pixel 4 XL phone, but not for any technical reason. I ordered my phone through Google Fi (where I've been a customer for over 5 years) about 15 min. after it was announced. A Black 128GB Pixel 4XL. What was delivered to me two weeks ago was a White 65GB Pixel 4XL. For 2 weeks now I've been chatting, calling and emailing customer support to try to get this resolved. I've gotten nothing from them but "just wait and eventually we'll figure it out". I was "escalated" to the Shipping department and they will only communicated via email. At this point I don't even want the phone, I just want this experience to be over so I can move on. I've been a loyal Google customer for years (Nexus 6P, Pixel 2XL) and it's a shame that now I don't even want their product because of this absolutely horrific service experience.

Google support does suck, doesn't it?
It's been hit or miss with me as well.

The thing I wish I had done differently was keep the 2XL instead of upgrading to the 3XL, then wait to purchase my current 4XL until Black Friday with all these great deals that are coming. That being said I've really enjoyed the 4XL and think it's a fantastic phone!

This is me, to a tee. I LOVE my 2 XL, but I wanted something new. Didn't need it. The phone is perfect for me. I have no idea what my screen on time is, as it hasn't been an issue. Love it.

Right on brother! Me as well, didn't need to upgrade from my 2 XL, but the 4 XL was too tempting. It's been great for me, the gesture nav, the camera and the battery life have been absolutely great. And the screen is just awesome! Perfect for me, no regrets!

Google really needs to get their "Ship" together. I have run into so many people that cannot get the easiest of problems solved by Google customer service without a major hassell. It reminds me of being stuck in an Alice in Wonderland movie!

I love my Pixel 4 XL. I have no issues with the battery and the screen looks great!!

Love seeing all the fans of the phone. Hopefully they do learn and give us all larger batteries next year. I don't care what chipset is in the phone as long as it is smooth and gets updated. The same people complaining in reviews of the phone not being the newest processor are the same that love the Blackberry Key device with a lightweight chip.

I think google will give us a slightly thicker phone with a bigger battery next year plus the third camera lens. This is why I bought the Pixel 4 XL with the AT&T next plan so I can just swap to the Pixel 5 XL and just keep that for a couple years.

I really like the phone, I am really frustrated with the price. Especially now that I see that Black Friday sales will make it up to $400 cheaper!!! I bought a Pixel 4 and a 4XL, have always bought a Pixel or Nexus device. Loyalty to Google products doesn't pay off. I think I am done!!!

We don't need thicker phones , the note 10+ is thinner then pixel 4 and with a bigger battery

to be fair it's thinner by .3mm, but taller and wider by 2mm in each direction. Thank god for those 2mm less wide on the XL, it makes some 1 handed use possible. I notice it from my pixel 2 XL.

I agree
That's why I'm digging my pix 3a , feels like a mint candy in my hand compared my Note phones lol

I'm another happy 4 XL owner checking in. I think this phone is fantastic.

 

[onthecouchagain]

I'm happy with my 4 XL, too, but still unhappy with Google. You can feel both.

$400 if you are adding a line, and even money it'll be bill credits

I think last year best buy $400 off was immediate credit and the remaining balance was spread 24 months which you can pay off immediately with Verizon. Bill credits are only if you buy thru carrier. Anyway we will know soon once the details of the offer are out.

Here is the verge article about best buy pixel 3 $400 off deal last year which confirms that it's not bill credit.

Everyone here knew there will be a black Friday deal and that's why many people were willing to wait since it's only a month after launch. This is nothing new and anyone who has bought Pixel devices at launch before knows this. Also, some people were ok not waiting and paying to get the phone early.
And nothing specific to Pixel since every phone will have a black Friday discount, the Pixel gets hate because the launch is close to black Friday and every year there are people complaining about the same.

No problem at all with making it a bit thicker for a bigger battery. I bet 95+ % of users would sacrifice a bit of thickness for more battery. Apple did it this year and I haven’t heard 1 single mention of thickness from any Apple users. They all love the battery life though.

It’s an easy way for Google to make a very good phone great.

On topic though, I'm extremely happy with the phone. I've been following the industry for years and this is all noise. The phone glitterati, as a collective group, act like a bunch of 12 year old girls... Once an opinion is 'in', it instantly becomes the end all be all.

Case in point... Wide angle cameras. Not but a few years ago, the tech press was snickering at LG because they used a wide angle second camera rather than a zoom. They all thought it was the dumbest thing since New Coke.

Now, I had a G6, and the wide angle thing was pretty cool, hardly a dumb choice. But I also didn't take too many shots that way... And it settled into a 'nice to have, but I don't need' category.

Flash forward to today. Ermahgerd! Wide angle is the greatest... No phone feature has ever been as awesome as this and any phone that doesn't have one if a piece of crap. All because it was Apple that said it was a must have thing and not LG.

But this isn't new... Every fall, the noise machines dump all over Google's phones when they are released.. Nexus 5 felt too cheap, Nexus 6 too big, 6p was too weak, pixel was a mid range htc, p2 had a POS display, DAT NOTCH, 3a back to being too cheap.

Funny thing, I've had (or I bought one for a family member) every one of these and each and every one was a great phone. My 2XL performed as well on day 730 as it did on day 1... Oh, and I never once took offense at the supposedly horrendous screen.

And so far, the 4xl is a great phone... It runs great, takes great pics, does everything I need my phone to do, and does it extremely well. And I have no reason to doubt that two, or maybe three years from now when i move on, I'll be just as happy with it as I am now.

It's Google .. everything that involves them is multiplied a full order of magnitude... Especially anything viewed as negative, real or (more often) imagined. So if you have the phone and like it, don't let some crank with a YouTube channel convince you otherwise.
