**** The Official Google Pixel 4 Thread ****

[V_R]

Rather than starting a new thread....

Google has cancelled I/O this year due to COVID-19.

I'll be in florida then. Was thinking to pick up a pixel 4a assuming it's as good and right price like last year, so hopefully will be saving on the exchange rate. My only question is with warranty. Anyone know how Google deals with warranty for a phone bought through them just in another country?

Same goes for Samsung as the s20 was my other thought

Unsure on Samsung but pretty sure Google's warranty is world wide. Are the LTE bands still an issue though ?

Not sure if it's still a thing but worth checking.

Scheduling dark theme is shocking it's not come sooner but glad to hear it's almost here.

Anyword of this for pixel 2?

For me the pinning apps for sharing is great. As it was always WhatsApp, Facebook or email is used.

Yes I like that too. Very annoying when it changes around and you have to scan and search for the one of 3 apps you use.

Pixel 4A.

Alleged specs

• 5.81" FHD 60Hz
  
  
• Snapdragon 730
  
  
• Adreno 618
  
  
• 6GB RAM
  
  
• 64 GB Storage
  
  
• 12MP Rear Camera
  
  
• 8MP Front Camera

"Starting from $399" suggests there may be a higher storage model.

Fingerprint over a top notch for me.

 

[Mr_Cool]

I'm all in on FaceID, dont mind a notch either.

I genuinely dont want to go back to a fingeprint, went back to my iPhone 7 temporarily and found the fingerprint fustrating.
For me FaceID just works 99% of the time without me having to think about it.

Indeed.

At 400 dollars I'll prob get that. Will keep me going for the next year.

Heads up for anyone wanting one of these - a big price drop plus cashback makes the price somewhat more realistic.

£320 and £480 for the standard and XL respectively after cashback.

Just seen this deal!

Very tempted.

Still running a Pixel 2, very tempted to upgrade.

The £150 cash back plus money for selling on or recycling my pixel 2.

Is it really that bad ? Say compared to my pixel 2 ?

Pixel 4a actually looks a winner with an up to date design, just a shame Google still don't do ultra wide lens.
