Do you think the Pixel 4 is still worth getting?

Here in mid-2020, the Pixel 4 and (and 4 XL) are two phones we still tend to recommend quite a bit. They aren't perfect devices, largely in part due to lackluster battery life, but things like the camera and software allow them to stand out as worthy Android handsets.

The fact of the matter, however, is that the Pixel 4 series is quickly approaching its one-year birthday. With the Pixel 5 expected to drop in the coming months, are other people still eager to recommend the Pixel 4 as a good purchase?

Here's what some of our AC forum members have to say.

I came from a s20 ultra and returned it for the pixel 4 XL and couldn't be happier about it. The ultra was just too much phone (and money) for what I needed out of a phone. I love the pixel 4 xl. Like you I was concerned about all the battery life complaints I've read about. I can tell you from my experience, they seem to be greatly exaggerated. On a typical day, my phone comes off the charger...

My experience is pretty much the same as steveo82 above. I bought my 4 XL in April for about 1/2 price (New - Open Box) and love it. I think I'm a Pixel owner for life now. I am getting about the same results as above, off the charger around 5:30 AM and back on around 10:30 PM each day, and usually have between 25 - 35% battery remaining. It gets me through a normal day so I am happy with...

The Pixel Watch isn't fixing Wear OS's problems, but Samsung might

I've loved Android smartwatches since the original Moto 360, but I'm tired of making excuses for Wear OS's lackluster performance and Tizen's abysmal apps. Once upon a time, I thought maybe — just maybe — a Pixel Watch could be the smooth, well-supported Android watch of my dreams, but now I know better.

Review: iOttie Aivo Connect is a surprisingly useful mobile Alexa platform

Unless you have a fancy ride with a built-in phone charger, you probably need a good car phone mount or docking solution. One that can charge your phone wirelessly? Even better.
