Screen Attention feature on Pixel 4 XL is so welcome!

was pleasantly surprised to see this feature on my pixel 4 xl that I got over the weekend. This is not on my 3 XL but extremely useful. I do a lot of reading on my phone and not having to tap the screen often to keep it from turning off is great.

Samsung has something similar but Google's implementation seems to work so much better.

Motorola has had that for years, and I used it on every Moto phone i owned since 2013. I think that was one of the many patents that Google incorporated from the Moto X back in 2013 into stock Android. Works great on my Pixel 4XL also.

That looks like a really cool and useful picture! I read articles and newsletters for work from my phone, so I can definitely understand how that type of feature would be beneficial.

Congratulations on your new Pixel 4 XL! Hope you enjoy it! What is your favourite thing about it so far - besides this awesome feature, of course?

Camera. It's why I keep going back to the pixel line. And the 4 XL camera is the best that Google put out so far.

Yup, I totally get why you would say that. The Pixel's camera is top-notch.
