Review on πŸ“± Renewed Google Pixel 4 XL - Clearly White - 64GB Unlocked Smartphone by Andre Hawkins

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It doesn't get any better for the price

I received a refurbished one and the only two flaws are a scratch on the volume rocker and a battery with only 86% capacity according to AccuBattery. As batteries aren't cheap or easy to replace it's a bit of a shame, but it's enough until the next set of pixels on the used car market falls in price. I still get about 5 hours of screen time. Not very good, but not terrible either. There's no fingerprint scanner, so the mask isn't very convenient, but that's not so important. Battery life is decent, but as a heavy user I need to charge at least twice a day (I don't let it drop below 25% and turn off at 90% and don't charge overnight). The screen is good, the forehead is big, but there is no cutout for the camera. The speakers are good, nice and loud. The camera is fantastic and that's why I keep buying Pixels. It's fast and consistently takes great photos and videos, but the lens gets dirty almost immediately, so I have to keep cleaning it. Standard Android is good and fast too, and Pixels usually get four major OS updates, so with two under their belt, there are two more, so this phone will last a long time. You must replace the battery before official software support is exhausted.
