Google has always been one step ahead in the smartphone industry. Throughout the year, the company have launch promising models and has consistently garnered appreciation and praise from its supporter. So it isn't come as a surprise that Google's latest invention - Pixel 4 XL is one of the most extraordinary smartphones in the industry.
Besides boasting the latest Android 10 OS and minimalistic design, Google can produce yet another smartphone that has not only one, but two top-notch main cameras to satisfy shutterbugs crave for photography.
Another welcoming upgrades for gaming enthusiasts have to be 60 Hz to 90 Hz refresh rate and marrying 6GB RAM with a powerful Snapdragon 855 chipset. This means you can now play the latest game titles as well as multi-tasking in-between apps smoothly without laggy display. Combine these features with what the Pixel series already had, then Google is able to live up to the hype.
The Pixel 4 XL comes with fantastic camera features called Night Sight. Your phone can pull light out of nowhere and give you the best shots with more brightness and clarity in low-light situations even when shooting distant objects say, a milky way. This noticeable upgrade is what separates the Pixel 4 XL from the like of iPhone11 Pro Max and P30 Pro.
Getting the perfect image with a simple camera can often become cumbersome. So to ensure that you get the ideal shot, Pixel 4 XL comes with a refreshing upgrade. It includes a second rear camera that is as good as the front camera, sometimes even better.
Another fact that makes the camera commendable and worthy is that this is the first time that Google has opted to put more than one lens on the rear of a handset. Not only does this enhance image quality, but it also allows you to take perfect, clear shots on all your adventures.
This amazing Singapore model comes with efficient motion sensor technology. This great new feature allows you to use gesture controls to perform simple tasks. The sensor technology comes in handy when you are simultaneously using your phone and driving, cooking, or working out.
But you might wonder how this feature is not new and is already present in other smartphones. Well, there is a catch. The Pixel 4 XL adds a radar chip embedded into the bezel above the screen instead of the usual camera. Thus, this ensures a clear broader 180-degree field view that allows the Pixel 4 XL to detect your hand from further away.
So whether you are driving, walking, or indulging yourself in other chores, never let the restrictions of your old phones get in the way.
More often than not, phones with better cameras and touchscreens don't have good software, but that's certainly not the case with Singapore Pixel 4 XL. The phone uses Android 10, the latest version of Google's extremely reliable mobile operating system. People also applaud the ultra-smooth and efficient software for including the firm's smart assistant baked into its core. Not just that, the Pixel 4 XL, unlike most other phones, comes with superb gesture controls.
Moreover, Google Assistant, which is considered to be the epitome of perfection, has been further improved in the Android 10 software. It showcases the smarter voice assistant app that lets you use voice command to open apps or run searches in them. Together, these features allow the quick and smooth functioning of your phone.
Coming from the battery charging perspective, the Pixel 4 XL has a lot to offer in terms of providing fast-charging technology to the user base. First, it charges rapidly topping the battery halfway through within 38 minutes,(same speed as iPhone 11 Pro) then charges the remaining battery fully in 13 minutes by gradually reducing the input so that the device cell can run on a longer lifespan.
Another useful upgrade from its predecessor is the including of Qi wireless charging that can power up the device by placing on a charging pad without the need of plugging into the Type-C port as one might feel sluggish after a day's work.
