Upgrading from the Pixel XL to the Pixel 4 XL will have you staying with the XL-branded version of the Pixel, and also skipping several generations. You will notice smaller bezels on the Pixel 4 XL due to the changes in the display. This means the display size will go from 5.5-inches on the Pixel XL to 6.3-inches on the Pixel 4 XL, but the overall size of the phone only increases by 0.1-inches. The XL measures in at 6.2-inches high and the 4 XL measures in at 6.3-inches high. The Pixel 4 XL also has Smooth Display which allows for up to a 90Hz refresh rate. Other features of the Pixel 4 XL include up to 128GB of storage space, a 3,700 mAh battery with fast wireless charging, a soft-touch glass back, and Active Edge technology for easier access to the Google Assistant. The camera setup on the Pixel 4 XL includes an 8MP wide-angle (90-degree) camera on the front, with 12.2MP dual-pixel, and 16MP telephoto cameras on the back.
