Google Pixel 4/Pixel 4 XL

[tbayrgs]

I’m probably one of the few people who were actually excited to hear about a Google Wifi update. 😂

I’ve been quite happy with my first gen Google Wifi setup but am keenly waiting on meaningful mesh systems with Wifi 6. If this second gen system has Wifi 6, I’ll be considering an update to the new Nest model.

Second lens is telephoto with combo of optical and digital zoom.

"We think telephoto is more important than wide angle"

oof

 

[tbayrgs]

A really ho-hum announcement so far. ?

 

[drinkingtea]

Honestly, Pixel 4 looks exciting. And I’ve warmed up to the design.

 

[Awesomesince86]

Google continue to lead the way in terms of computational photography.

He’s not getting the laughs and applause he’s looking for. lol

 

[tbayrgs]

The camera performance is undoubtedly excellent as it’s been the past few years but is there any other part of the Pixel 4 that’s compelling to anyone?

And the presenter himself admitted Google’s bread and butter in regards to the camera performance is ‘computational photography’. So, outside of telephone/zoom specific functionality, what limits this functionality to the Pixel 4? Why can’t much of this be brought back to previous models?

Agreed, was just about to comment that this audience hasn’t been impressed at all so far.

He was the best presenter by far. He kept making photography jokes that no one in the crowd was picking up on lol

 

[drinkingtea]

Wow, Annie Leibovitz is quite inarticulate. Perhaps she’s nervous?

 

[akuma13]

This lady and her lip smacking or whatever going on with her spit is driving me mad. I can't listen! lol

wet mouth syndrome. It’s very annoying lol.

 

[tbayrgs]

Showing me remarkable photos taken with Pixel 4 by Annie Leibowicz doesn’t impress me...she can out-shoot me using a disposable camera.

I’d be far more impressed showing me exceptional photos taken by someone off the street who was just handed a Pixel.

Sounds much like the iPhone 11 to be honest, minus the camera being excellent in the past few years.

 

[michael9891]

The event feels like an informal, awkward chat show.

I think the software updates on the camera look good. But no doubt they’ll come to earlier Pixels. Can’t see what hardware on the 4 would make them 4 only?

I don't even see phone trade-in options unless I'm missing something.

I saw the trade in options, but didn't see the Pixel 3 line listed, nor the "a" variant.

Yeah, I saw it. I must have missed it at the first pass. you're right, no p3 variants... wtf

 

[Awesomesince86]

Pixel video recording still capped at 4k at 30fps. Inexcusable that this isnt fixed.

Wow, just noticed that as well when I was curious to see what I could get for a Pixel 3XL. Guess Google is just openly admitting it’s not worth upgrading from last years phone.

 

[co.ag.2005]

definitely a ho-hum event. I won't be pre-ordering today but will wait to see what discounts they offer this holiday season.

 

[michael9891]

Think I’ll pre order to give it a go. It’s cheaper than last year, so rumours were way off. And a free chrome book in the UK. Probably get black as I have white now.

The Google Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL are here with new 90Hz refresh rate OLED displays (5.7″ and 6.3″), dual rear cameras (12.2MP + 16MP telephoto), 64GB or 128GB storage, 6GB RAM, 2800mAh (Pixel 4) and 3700mAh (4 XL) batteries, 8MP front cameras, USB-C, and Android 10.

 

[tbayrgs]

Really unimpressed with the entire offering today. The presentation lacked any genuine enthusiasm and felt like they were just going through the motions—‘well, everything’s already been leaked so let’s just make this official and get out of here.’

 

[noobinator]

Gonna pass for now. I'll check out the pre black friday and black friday deals. Last year was buy one get one half off.
