The Google Pixel hasn’t always been a largely known smartphone, even with it being Google’s phone. It has built up its reputation over time and that is why there is hype around the phone when it comes closer to the release of it. Now we have the Google Pixel 4, the latest installment for Google’s phone.
The phone has always been known for its stock Andriod experience and that’s no different here. What is different are the specs that it features. Pixel 4 has the latest Snapdragon 855 processor, 6GB of RAM and of course, the main feature of this phone is the camera that is better than ever.
The notable part of the Google Pixel has always been the cameras and that’s no different here as the phone can take even better photos with a better Night mode, too.
However, the one set back that has been noticed by reviewers is the battery, especially for the regular Google Pixel 4, which has a 2,800mAh battery, while the Pixel 4 XL has a 3,700mAh battery. The main concern for this small battery is that the Google Pixel 4 feature a 90Hz display, there’s more power used and so a 2,800mAh battery may not be able to keep up.
That’s why we’ve chosen power banks that you can use while you’re out with your Pixel 4 taking some of the best photos any smartphone can.
