I couldn't disagree more. The Pixel 4 XL was criminally underrated. The non-XL wasn't good because the battery was too small, sure. But the XL battery was OK, not worse than the 2 XL I upgraded from.

Then there are several big improvements. It's faster with more RAM, of course. I will never go back to a 60 Hz screen. The speakers are a million times better. I use the telephoto camera. The screen to body ratio is better. Face unlock works incredibly well for me; it's significantly more reliable than the fingerprint sensor ever was. Of course the mask thing is unfortunate but I stay at home and need a mask very rarely so it's not an issue for me.
