Pixel 4 review from a longtime iPhone user. No bashing of any brands or OS!

Needed a workphone line, and my work is all Chromebooks and google based, so decided to get a Pixel 4. My personal use phone is an iPhone Xr. I've been iOS since the 5. The setup of the Pixel was super simple. everything I needed from my iPhone transferred to the pixel in minutes. Phone and apps updated, and everything was a go in literally less than a 1/2 hour. Facial recognition works really well. Too well. I sit down near my phone and it unlocks! That's not a huge problem for me, I don't have financial apps on the Pixel. Everything on the Pixel moves as smoothly as my iPhone. Gestures are similar, and so many apps are cloud based today that there really isn't much of a difference. I set up some email widgets and other tweaks needed for work. Played with the camera for a few minutes, and took some night pictures of the freezing cold sky. Very little light pollution in my neck of the woods. Night photos are amazing. Overall, it's a very nice phone, and I could easily see it as the "transition phone" for those wanting to switch to Android without losing much of the Apple polish. Android fans that are tempted to switch to ios for the simplicity might like the Pixel 4. It really is style and substance.

Reviews detracting for battery performance aren't far off. I'm not living through my phone, so I'd say moderate use. Mostly inventory management and correspondence, plus other work tasks. So far, the battery drain seems to be moderate, but it's not been as bad as some reviews made me think it would be. It'll last all workday, but it'll need a little pick-me-up by the time I get home. Honestly, that's all I really need.

Hope this helps someone.
