Google's Pixel 4 is one of the more compact Android phones out there. It features a 5.7-inch (2280 x 1080) OLED display, Snapdragon 855 processor, 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. 

Although we didn't test this phone, sister site Tom's Guide reviewed the Pixel 4 and gave it a high rating of 4 out of 5 stars. The Pixel 4's class-leading camera, smooth 90Hz refresh rate and AI features are among its highlights.

In real-world testing, the Pixel 4's performance was snappy and it handled demanding games like PUBG mobile. It's worth noting that the Pixel 4's Snapdragon 855 chip is faster than the newer 765G chipset found in the Pixel 4a 5G and Pixel 5. On Geekbench performance tests, the Pixel 4 notched a multi-core score of 2,329. It beats the Pixel 4a and Pixel 5's scores of 1,614 and 1,617, respectively. 

Design-wise, the Pixel 4 is nearly identical to its successors. It has the same minimalist, premium, elegant design that we've come to expect from Google's flagships. 

Simply put, the Pixel 4 is a solid choice if you want a premium smartphone sans the premium price tag. At $399, the Pixel 4 is a tremendous value in a world of $1000+ smartphones.
