Our reviews for the Google Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL offer a long list of reasons why they are worth buying. Both are outstanding Android phones that offer software advantages only Google Pixel devices have. These flagship smartphones are some of the closest alternatives to the Apple iPhone 11 Pro but with more affordable prices.
The first thing you will notice with the Pixel 4 phones is their refined design. Google has slimmed down the thick bezels and removed the unpopular notch that plagued the previous models. This updated look makes the beautiful screen on the new Pixel phones shine. The new design also includes an upgraded camera module. Called Pixel Square, this new feature houses the excellent dual rear cameras.
Among the new releases this year, the Google Pixel 4 models are some of the best camera phones. They use machine learning to produce quality pictures. The Pixel 4 XL even won against the Apple iPhone 11 Pro when we did a camera shootout among four of the top choices available today.
The Google Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL are feature-packed smartphones with an IP-68 water resistance rating. Also, they are expected to receive software updates for longer than other competing Android phone brands. These premium phones should last for three years or more with gentle use. They are set for release this Thursday, October 24, but you can reserve yours on Walmart today. Pre-order the Pixel 4 for $799 or the Pixel 4 XL for $899 and get a bonus $100 gift card. Jump on this incredible deal on the upcoming Google smartphones.

What's happened? This week, China's Quality Certification Center released information about a battery (EB-BS04898ABY) with a maximum capacity of 4,855mAh. That's the same capacity as was previously seen in the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, and fans have taken this certification to mean the Galaxy S26 Ultra will not see a capacity increase after all.
The Samsung Galaxy Ultra models have had the same battery capacity for the last five years.
What's happened? Samsung has officially announced the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite, a budget-friendly alternative to the Galaxy Tab S10. The device has been rumored for months, but this is the first time Samsung has officially acknowledged its existence.
The Galaxy Tab S10 Lite will have a 10.9-inch display and a peak brightness of 600 nits — a bit on the lower side, versus the iPad Pro's maximum brightness of 1,600 nits.
