Those upgrading from a Google Pixel 3a to a Pixel 4 XL will see an overall performance boost, along with a bigger, and nicer display. The performance boost comes by way of the Snapdragon 855 processor and 6GB of RAM. The Pixel 4 XL also has up to 128GB of internal storage, a 3700 mAh battery, is water-resistant and has a soft-touch glass back with Active Edge. This upgrade also means an improved camera experience, which comes courtesy of the newly added 16MP telephoto camera on the back. Remaining camera details include the Pixel 4 also having a 12.2MP dual-pixel on the back with an 8MP wide-angle on the front.
