This year, the "Google Phone" is in every US carrier store, so it's easier than ever to buy.
Problem is, it's not as easy to recommend.

You've heard it already by now: battery life is the big killer here, with the lack of an ultrawide camera a close second.
But the #Pixel4 is a confusing phone beyond that.
But the #Pixel4 is a confusing phone beyond that.
The limited and finicky hand-wave controls remind me of the LG G8 (which is not a good thing) and while face unlock is fast, the omission of the old reliable -and more useful- fingerprint sensor stings. Especially since many banking apps still don't work with face unlock.
The phone has real wins in its fluidity, design and the usual 3 years of updates, etc. But these are countered by a meager 64GB of storage -- which is no longer augmented by unlimited original quality Photos backup.
Bottom line: at $799 it's not competitive, when the iPhone 11 starts at $699, the OnePlus 7T starts at $599, and the excellent Pixel 3a starts at $399.
Wait for the inevitable discounts. And get the bigger one.
