Google Pixel 4 XL – Clearly White – 128GB – Unlocked (Renewed)

Replace the Pixel 4
My Pixel 4 finally had enough and I needed to replace it. I didn’t want to go too crazy – I use the phone for very little. I decided to go with the refurbished Pixel 4 XL (keep in mind, you can easily flash a new ROM to these to get rid of the bloatware and they run quite nicely). This one addresses the only real issue I had with the standard Pixel 4 – the screen was a little too small for my stubby thumbs.Battery life is an improvement (it wasn’t a problem with my old phone, but this is still better). With the installation of a custom ROM and the elimination of bloatware, it has the resources I need to do what I want without the need for a newer, far more expensive phone. The camera has also worked well for me (although I don’t use it much, it’s still nice to be able to take good quality photos and video when the situation calls for it).

*DON’T* buy refurbished from here!!!
I bought a refurbished phone from this vendor on March 11th this year. Shortly after the 90-day Renewed Amazon guarantee, a rectangular section in the top right corner of the phone screen started to flicker. At first it was just a little bit and was tolerable to live with, but soon it became constant.From the beginning of receiving this phone I had noticed that the battery life was pretty appalling. After some research online I noticed that this model does not have the best battery life in the world. Even at that though the phone’s battery just about got you through the day.Within the last couple of months my battery issues escalate rapidly. At first I started to see question marks over the phones battery icon on screen. Soon this is accompanied by system warnings that the phone cannot read the battery meter. After a while I notice the phone seems to suddenly start restarting. This continues on and off for a while. Today, my battery is completely broken. The phone will not work for more than 5 minutes without dying and only stays on if left plugged in. The phone is useless now.In addition to this, the phone has also started glitching, with menu options bouncing slightly on screen and the phone freezing. There is also an issue where the phone will not open from the lock screen and you get caught in a constant loop of pressing the unlock button, the screen flashes n and then the screen goes into standby again. The only way to get into the phone is to restart it.This has been a thoroughly dreadful experience and an absolute waste of $230! Please if you are considering buying a phone from this vendor, go to a more reputable site who offer a 1-year warranty with their phones.

For the price it can’t be beat
I got one renewed and the only two defects are a scratch on the volume rocker and a battery with only 86% capacity according to AccuBattery. Since the batteries aren’t cheap or easy to replace that’s kind of a bummer but it’s enough to last until the next set of Pixels come down in price on the used market. I still get about 5 hours of screen time. Not good but not horrible.There is no fingerprint reader so it’s not very convenient with a mask but it’s not a huge deal.Battery life is fine but I do have to recharge at least twice a day as a heavy user (I don’t let it drop below 25% and I unplug at 90% and I don’t charge overnight). Screen is good, the forehead is big but there’s no camera cut out. Speakers are good, nice and loud.The camera is amazing and why I keep buying Pixels. It’s fast and consistently takes great photos and video but the lens gets filthy almost immediately so I constantly have to wipe it off. Running stock Android is nice and fast too, and Pixels usually get four major OS upgrades so with two under the belt there’s two more to go so this phone will last a long time. You’ll have to replace the battery before it runs out of official software support.

Bought this 4xl after my 3xl died….really like it…great photos, long battery life, and easy to use.

Llegó en buen estado y a tiempo, llevo ya más de medio año y no he tenido ningún problema

The Google Pixel 4 XL is a flagship smartphone that offers a premium experience with a great camera and good performance. The device is built with a sleek and sturdy design, featuring a metal and glass construction. The 6.3-inch OLED display is large and vibrant, with a resolution of 3040×1440 and a 90Hz refresh rate, providing a great visual experience for watching videos, browsing the web or playing games.One of the main highlights of the Pixel 4 XL is its camera system. The rear camera setup includes a 12.2MP main sensor and a 16MP telephoto sensor, both of which are able to capture stunning photographs with great detail and color accuracy. The camera also has a Night Sight mode that allows you to take great shots even in low-light conditions. The front-facing 8MP camera is also great for selfies and video calls.The device is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor, coupled with 6GB of RAM, which provides a smooth and snappy performance. The phone also features a face unlock system that is fast and secure.The device runs on Android 10, which provides a clean and easy-to-use interface, and it is also eligible for the next Android updates, which ensures that the phone will be up-to-date in terms of security and features. The device also comes with a built-in Google Assistant, which allows you to control the phone and access information quickly and easily.However, the device also has its downsides. One of the most notable is the battery life, which can be short if you’re using the phone heavily throughout the day. The phone comes with a 3700mAh battery, which is average for a device of this size. The device also lacks expandable storage and a headphone jack, which may be a deal breaker for some users. Additionally, the device is not compatible with 5G networks, which is a disappointment for those who are looking for a 5G capable device.Overall, the Google Pixel 4 XL is a great smartphone for those looking for a high-end Android device with a great camera and clean software. The device’s design, display, and camera are top-notch, and the performance is smooth and snappy. However, the device’s battery life, lack of expandable storage and headphone jack, and lack of 5G compatibility are downsides that should be considered before making a purchase.

Don’t make the same mistake I did by buying this item. The battery is defective and the customer service is refusing to replace/return the item by giving unnecessary runarounds. Phone doesn’t turn on without a charger.
