      Probably the note 10 line but I can’t stand the curved screen. If Samsung offered a flat screen version I would get that

      Wait until you have a smartphone with a 16-core processor, built on 5-nm-technology or lower, 16-GB LPDDR5 SDRAM, and over 1 terabyte of digital storage.

    Lol, no stars in the city, lol. It’s funny, in Europe all the classy rich people live in the country, and cities are ghettos for the unfortunate. Funny that educated Americans will willingly live in the city. Like a dog that loves his carrier crate more than the yard. Whatever, if people in and NYC and LA want to think they got it made, why burst their bubble.

      Use it when you play games or watch a movie. Trust me. On the XL, it’s gorgeous.

    No notch, big forehead, major step backward. Eyes closed biometrics. Google hurried this one!

    I’m still going to upgrade from my Pixel 2, just not now. It’ll be the right price in a few months, plus all of the kinks and bugs should be smooth out by then. Btw, OnePlus should be used as an example of value for the money, not Samsung.

    October 22, 2019 at 10:59 am

    $800 expensive ?? Then what about iphone ?? This is what is called as bias. CNET has been apple fan boy and they always provide negative reviews about apple competitors. This video one of the many videos which just proves the point

    • yogik komang

      October 22, 2019 at 2:49 pm

      Sarode Mahesh apple fanboy lmao ???????? best processor gpu best camera on iphone 11 pro max and battery life
      And why dont u talk about iphone 11 vs pixel 4 who cheaper lmao

    • Sarode Mahesh

      October 23, 2019 at 12:46 pm

      @yogik komang i am neither apple fan boy nor Google supporter. Both the phones are expensive. I am just not happy with the way CNET projecting Apple competitor products as expensive when Apple products are way more expensive than the competitors.

      October 23, 2019 at 1:08 pm

      Sarode Mahesh yeah samsung fold much cheaper than the iphone ????

    CNET is the worst when it comes to reviews

    Is this a review or a commercial ? Terrible review !

    The screen looks even worse than my galaxy S8, which was almost 3 years old. Even most mid-range phones are close to full screen now. These expensive Google Pixel 4 phones look like a cheap phone, at least from the appearance.

    We pay 1149 and 1249 for the 4XL at Google Store Canada ???? for preorder prices!????????
