The iPhone SE 2 segment (from the intro) couldn't make it... but expect it in tomorrow's Pocketnow Daily! :)

For all Google seems to be able to achieve with software, they really seem to struggle when it comes to the hardware side of things. Maybe they should go back to having 3rd parties actually designing and manufacturing their devices.

[merpinallday]

I feel like Google’s hardware team is a band of idiots that are always forgetting things.. like structural integrity.. and adding a really useful lens..

Zach: it break is 4 places…

Google: An update to fix it coming soo… oy…

[iHenried]

Me: Hey, Google? Drop the price of the Pixel 4 to affordable price.

Google Assistant: You’ve got it! Breaking the Pixel 4.

Pixel got absolutely nothing right this year, smh shame

[AndrewHahaLee]

Google: Dont worry, we will release a software update in the upcoming months..

Pixel is the only phone that gets worse every year.

All google had to do was . Add ultra wide lens and battery like 4200 mah on xl model and 3500 mah on smaller model and base storage should be 128 gb and unlimited google cloud storage in photos . include a fingerprint sensor and That's all . Instead of understanding latest market trends like bigger batteries and ultra wide camera's google messes like crazy and this is the company which has data of most people and still not able to understand the trend.

The pixel 4xl is great Jerry rigs is super strong and it takes some beast mode strength to do. It won't happen to any one in day to day use at all. Jerry literally rips phone books apart with his bare hands.

I absolutely love my pixel 4XL. And I've seen a lot of users posting how much they love their phone. I had the 2xl and now the 4xl and so far None of the issues I see Critics posting have been problems on either phone. Just goes to show, you have to take reviews with a grain of salt.

[eurosonly]

I haven't bought a phone on day one since the iPhone bend gate. I guess others haven't learned the lesson yet.

[branhall]

What's up with Google? Every year it's a failed attempt with the Pixel... Just a shame

[___David__]

The iPixel has always been a copy of all that's bad about the iPhone.
So, naturally, it now also copies the bendgate and makes it worse.
This was Google's goal. Wasn't it?

[Joue]

I love my Pixel 4 XL... But it's not made for the tech snobs

[TheGunfighteracp]

The Pixel bends and the Galaxy folds. Personally, I'll just go with the Moto Razr instead.

[seang]

The pixel bending is obviously an issue for people who bend phones on purpose. I'm not saying i'm the most careful person out there when it comes to phones, but honestly this bend test doesn't mean anything to me. I'm sure the aveerage person out there who has had more than three smartphones in their life and remotely took care of it don't care about this test either.

2015: iPhone 6 president of bending
2019: pixel 4 president of bending

[anismistry]

People highlight these Pixel flaws when actually its not a big deal for the average consumer. DO YOU BEND YOUR PHONE THE WAY JERRY DOES...NO so JAIME AND OTHER REVIEWERS STOP F>> HIGHLIGHTING THESE POINTS or maybe its fine highlighting but google should discount on the basis of Jerry putting all his might and bending it etc I dont think so. Even the IPhone and IPAD slight bends were exaggerated.

[AG-xlr]

Google is just not trying, performance less than OnePlus, more expensive than an iPhone, less cameras than a Xiaomi, less battery than Samsung, I mean who exactly are they trying to beat here. Just so disappointed with their take on a smartphone.
