The glass back is peeling off some Pixel 4 XL phones

[ad_1] We’ve asked Google for comment. However, it doesn’t appear to be treating the peeling backs as a recurring problem. Another Reddit user reported having to negotiate with Google to get their phone fixed under warranty. It’s not certain how widespread the problem is, but the timing is less than ideal. Google appears close to […]

The best deals we found this week

[ad_1] The new handset keeps many of the things that people loved about the previous iPhone SE, in particular a 4.7-inch Retina display and a physical home button with Touch ID. But Apple brought over a lot of new things from more advanced iPhones as well, including wireless charging, a water- and dust-resistant design and the […]

Google Pixel 4 drops to $449 at Best Buy

[ad_1] It took several months, but you can finally enable face unlock on your Pixel 4 without worrying that someone will access your phone while you’re sleeping.

It’s got a quad camera setup, up to 512 GB of storage and an expansive 6.7-inch screen. But it’s not the only large flagship phone out there, especially now that […]

Google’s Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL are $200 off at Amazon

[ad_1] Amazon has also discounted the bigger Pixel 4 XL. It’s likewise $200 off, making it $699, instead of $899. Just note currently only the Clearly White model is $200 off — the Just Black variant is a more modest $91 off. If you’re set on buying the phone in black, Google has discounted both […]

Pixel 4 update lets Smooth Display kick in more often

[ad_1] The same update also brings unspecified “camera quality improvements” to Pixel 4 owners, while those with older models also see improvements for Google Assistant’s hotword, Xbox Bluetooth controller mapping and problems with getting stuck during the boot process. If you have a Pixel phone that still receives updates (sorry original Pixel owners), you’ll likely […]

The Pixel 4 box is hiding an AR Easter egg

[ad_1] Should you try it out, you’ll see a photo of the phone morph into an animated welcome message. It’ll then display photos shot on Pixel, according to 9to5 Google. If you tap on the screen, a Lens card pops up that directs you to the Google Pixel profile on Instagram — that’s one way […]

Google explains when it slows down the Pixel 4’s Smooth Display

[ad_1] If you wanted to make everything on your screen refresh faster, you’d have to go into developer mode and enable the “Force 90 Hz refresh rate” setting. But since it was touted as one of the phone’s highlights, people expected it would work all the time. That is not the case. If you don’t […]
