They Look Better in Person and they Feel Great.

[KrisYYC]

So I just went to my local Best Buy to see if the Google pavilion had any display models of the Pixel 4 and sure enough they had the white and the black in both sizes. Sadly no orange one on display however the Google rep there said he got to see the orange in person when he was in training for the new product roll-out. He said it looks really good in person.

One thing is for sure. They FEEL great in the hand. Very confident grip and matte edges and back glass feel very nice. One of the best in the hand feelings of any modern smartphone's I've tried.

I'm still torn between the Orange and the white though!

I saw that the black is a smooth black glass, where the white/orange models are matte finish back. I couldn't attach my phone grip to my Pixel 3 glass back, so i'm glad the matte finish is back.

I will give them that. I'll admit I had the same judgements with the iPhone 11 Pro Max until I got one. Love the Matte Finish.

Same here still conflicted between white and orange

And the phone looks fantastic and it looked great even in the pics. Looks are subjective obviously but there are also some who hate just because it’s google.

I'm so glad that they feel awesome in the hand! I can't wait to hold one in the store to see! Amazing!

I saw all color today at my local Verizon and I like the orange ... The phone look nice but I agree with some review the display isn't very bright if you compared with Iphone 11 it like night and day different..

Doesn't matter how they "feel" in the hand, who isn't gonna be slapping on a case on the $800 phone they just bought?

When phones start to weight lighter and have grippy backs again (examples: KEY2 LE, Galaxy Active series) then it will make more sense to talk about how a phone feels in the hand.

did he mention if the orange was actually orange or if it was more of a coral color?

Doesn't matter to you but it matters to a lot of people. Some of use don't slap nasty plastic cases on our nice new phones. We know it's risky but we live with it. I only use a case at work, all other times my phone is naked.

He said it was the exact same orange as the power button on the white one. Based on seeing the white one in person, I'd say it's definitely orange and not coral.

I just stopped by a local Verizon store to look at them. The orange is somewhere between orange and coral, at least imo. Looks nice but ill probably stick with black

Yeah, I got to play with one at the Best Buy in Vancouver.

It feels great to hold, unlike the Galaxy S10+ or the OP7 Pro. While I liked the display, I was less enamored by the lack of brightness of the screen. Even at 100%, it was not very bright and will probably not be bright enough to use outside in the sunlight. The other concern is battery life - I used it for a few minutes and battery life dropped about 2% in less than 5 minutes. This seems to be typical Pixel issues as it was the same with the Pixel 3, 2 etc.

The one thing I liked was the ability to theme the UI. Finally, we get the ability to change the font, colours etc. I also got a chance to play with the camera and it seemed fine but I didn't get a chance to examine the photos in more detail. Motion sense seems cool but other than a few use cases, I'm not sure how useful it will be.

My initial 2 cents!

Did the Best Buy you went to have an orange one?

No, only the Black and White ones. I don't think any of the carriers are carrying the orange so I think BB only is showing the other two colours.

Not trolling, not at all, but this Apple driven narrative made by Apple was the absolute dumbest trash in the smartphone space.

Grippy? yes. Confident grip? yes. Easy to hold? yes. "Premium" feel? "Feels good in hand"???? How utterly ridiculous.

My recommendation is to actually visit a store and play with the devices yourself. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. See for yourself how you like the devices.
