See if you’re able to unravel our tricky, brain-rending riddle.
Good luck, friends, good luck.
Ithink the first thing that struck me about the Pixel 4 is the design.

Its a beautiful looking phone.
Something else I loved about the Pixel 4 was Google doubling down on its decision to murder the notch.

You know, like swiping your hand to change tracks.
Currently, this is a gimmick with no real use.
But Im hoping thatll change.

Related to the Pixel 4s front cameras is another new element of the phone: face unlocking.
Even though the face unlocking feature is good, I really miss the fingerprint scanner.
That was so much quicker and more reliable than this face-scanning nonsense.
The photography is probably the part of the Pixel 4 Ive probably enjoyed the most.
So, in six months time, the already impressive results might be even better.
Which is terrifyingly cool.
Yet, not everything is rosy.
Lets talk about the battery.
Google actuallyreducedthe capacity of the Pixel 4 compared to the Pixel 3.
Which and to put this lightly is absolutely fucking insane.
At the moment itsjustfine, lasting me about a day of use.
Honestly, I dont understand what Google was thinking here.
Generally, the Pixel 4 feels like a premium phone.
But… theres something about it that doesnt quite match the price tag.
Which, specs-wise, run rings around the Pixel 4.
I know you could level the same accusation at Apples iPhones, but theres something about them thatfeelsmore premium.
Theyre weightier, feel more robust, and importantly have an air of prestige the Pixel doesnt quite have.
Of course and despite this the Pixel 4 is still a damn good phone.
