Google Pixel 4 XL 64GB clearly white

Smartphones im Test: Gute Handys gibt es für weniger als 200 Euro

Google bietet das Pixel 4 auch in einer XL-Variante an, deren Größe einen leistungsstärkeren Akku erlaubt. Dessen Kapazität reicht nicht nur aus, um das größere Display am laufen zu halten, sondern verbessert auch die Ausdauer des Smartphones insgesamt.

If you want a smart-looking camera phone that's well built and can capture really great images with not much effort, the Pixel 4XL should go on your 'top options' list, with some cautious consideration about the battery and omissions.

The Google Pixel 4 XL delivers on the promises set out by Google at the phone's launch event, with a beautiful new 90Hz display, the fastest and most robust Google Assistant experience ever, plus impressive and eye-catching camera abilities from its new dual-sensor setup. However, everything that the Pixel 4 XL brings to the table each comes with a notable caveat that you'll have to consider before you make the decision to live with it.

If you absolutely need to have the newest Android features and want to be on the Pixel’s bleeding edge, by all means go buy a Pixel 4 XL. Otherwise, you might want to wait a few updates—or for the Pixel 5.

Google’s Pixel phones remain a strong choice for Android purists and photography fans

There's no denying the Pixel 4 XL has one of the best cameras around, but its shortcomings don't justify its high price. Instead, consider the Note 10 or the OnePlus 7T. The Pixel 3 XL is another great candidate and is discounted at $600 now.

The Google Pixel 4 XL is a handsome phone in its simplicity that, by the same coin, feels less impressive than its Android flagship counterparts. It doesn’t help that its new standout features are inessential, and erratically functional. But new interface improvements and a camera suite that’s better in both the hardware and software departments ensure that this phone stands up to be counted, even if it doesn't stand out from the competition.

This is easily Google's best-ever phone. The hardware is sleek and efficient, and Android 10 runs brilliantly. Google's little additions to the software differentiate it, face unlock works incredibly well, and this is the best Android camera available in all lighting. But the battery life is frustratingly bad, and it's hard not to feel short-changed paying this much for weak RAM and storage.

The Pixel 4 XL packs all of the same new features as its smaller siblings, and on the whole, these additions should be enough to excite even wary Pixel fans. It’s fast, thoughtful, and benefits from additions like a big, 90Hz screen and the ambitious Motion Sense system — when it works correctly, that is. Beyond all that, though, the Pixel 4 XL’s real draw is its bigger battery. It’s still doesn’t last as long as some of the Pixel’s rivals, but it’s noticeably better than what the standard Pixel 4 is capable of. If you’re enthusiastic about Google’s new additions and don’t mind a bigger phone, the Pixel 4 XL is clearly the model to invest in.
