Love that astrophotography! A lot of reviews seem to give the iPhone 11 the edge this year for photography, but after your results it seems like quite the opposite. Last years Pixel also produced fantastic photos, so Google's definitely on to something here.

[Estirvana]

I moved from the LG V30 to Huawei P20 Pro thinking I wouldn't miss having an SD card slot, but I was wrong. It is a shame the Google Pixel's lack this feature as well. Cloud storage is not a replacement for an SD card slot (looking at you specifically Google).

[Ivanmaradonaaa]

Give it 8GB of RAM. Wide Camera. 128 GB of memory. Better video. Unlimited original quality photo backup and then it's worth it

[RobertLeBlancPhoto]

The douchebag move of eliminating the free, original size photo storage and small, non upgradable on board storage, at premium prices, makes this a no sale for me.
Google has gotten too greedy.

[Ben-rypy]

any chance of side loading that astro photography app? I have a pixel 2, and I want it, but I don't want to buy the new pixel :)

My phone's fingerprint scanner works even with my eyes closed.

[Ben-rypy]

Great review as always Lon! Your daughter is adorable.

[wintdkyo]

Wow, that astrophotography mode is pretty impressive. Is it possible to do a timelapse natively on the phone?

[NizarNoor]

Turns out experiments show that Pixel 4/4XL are the fastest Android phones in 2019.

[SinaFarhat]

The pixel series is a interesting series of phones, unfortunately Google dont prioritize Sweden so we don't get most of the interesting hardware including the tablets and phones.
On the subject of the cameras, I find that the AI part is interesting, however I can't use that part because I prefer to use the raw photo pro mode and the limitations of the lens on my Huawei mate 20 lite shows with some severe vignetting, something that is hidden when the phone uses the ai features to "improve" the photos and gives me a badly denoised jpg files that looks dreadful!
Keep up the good work!

[ALTRON]

While id like a pixel 4, its not worth the price they're asking for. Especially with those whacky motion controls

[conradotorquato]

why the heck you guys don't wave your hands as shown on the phone animation?

[ANTHNY.VII.]

I've seen that people keep saying that they're underwhelmed with the astro results.
Why? Because they're in cities taking these pictures with the worst light pollution possible. Also people complain about waiting less than 5 minutes for pictures. Like there are people out here taking pictures for longer periods of time and people should stop complaining

can't wait to watch! My Pixel 4 is on the way!
