The information in this article regarding PWM on the Pixel 4XL is only SLIGHTLY correct!  The earliest production units of this phone did indeed only have PWM below 62% brightness.  However, and later production units and replacement displays have PWM at ALL brightness levels!  Also, the speakers on this phone are terrible in terms of reliability!  I use the speakers for music only once in a blue moon while in bed if I need a song to shut down my brain, and thus listen at a low level.  When using navigation, the volume is higher at around 70%.  My original phone with the PWM at lower levels only, had horrible distortion occur in both speakers, and of course phone calls with the earpiece and very distorted navigation directions.  I had the phone service, and just the replacement of both speakers did not resolve the distortion issue.  So the repair shop thought the motherboard should be replaced, and since I wanted to keep the phone a very long time, he installed a new battery and display.  Well, the new display now had PWM at all levels.  The motherboard change did resolve the speaker distortion issue.  I begged the technician to install my old screen back in since it hadn't been shipped out yet, and he refused.  I went through Google and had to jump through a lot of hoops, but eventually they sent me a brand new phone sealed in its box (not a refurb.).  Well, this phone has PWM at all levels, so I look at the screen as little as possible.  But now, the earpiece/speaker is starting to distort although my volume level on phone calls is only about 60%.  Based on the first phone, the bottom speaker which handles ring and all other notification sounds and navigation direction will not be far behind in crapping out.  The Pixel 6 looks way to expensive and I'm not trusting the Pixel hardware any longer.  I don't know what to do at this point as I'm not a rich person who can constantly upgrade/update my phone.

I'm a little bit  confused in terms of your camera  evaluation. You have written in your summery the pixel 4 xl has  got a very good cameras. I your table the camera reached just 67% which is actually a very bad result. I don't  understand really the logic of these figures.

Very good 75-78%  like in othe nootbookcheck reviews.

Or is the camera just midrange and google got a bonus because of the name.

I am surprised by the colour accuracy of this Pixel 4 XL, and wonder if the author got a defective unit. Nevertheless, thank you for this review!

Why didn't you use the different color profiles to test color accuracy?

Google offers the Pixel 4 also in an XL version, whose size allows for a more powerful battery. Not only is the battery capacity sufficient to run the larger display, but it also improves on the overall endurance of the smartphone.
