Google Pixel 4 Key Features

The glass and metal form of the Pixel 4 line up is launching in Just Black, Clearly White and Oh So Orange.

The phones feature a dual-lens rear camera, a 90 Hz 'Smooth Display', a Snapdragon 855 chip-set, 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB storage.

Two standout new features found on its latest flagships are Motion Sense and Face Unlock. The former uses Soli, the company's own radar-based motion-sensing technology, to recognise gestures when you're nearby. You're able to skip songs, snooze alarms and silence phone calls with a wave of the hand. Soli also helps Face Unlock work much faster, by switching on the sensor as you reach for the phone.

The new Pixels also ditch the Pixel Imprint rear-mounted fingerprint sensors of their predecessors, instead, following in the footsteps of the iPhone X - with Face Unlock as the primary means of bio-metric authentication.

There are still two storage options to choose between - 64 GB and 128 GB (with no expand-ability), while both phones also come with surprisingly small battery capacities, despite their physical size. There's a 2800 mAh battery inside the 4 and the Pixel 4 XL totes a 3700 mAh cell - both also sport 18 W fast wired and wireless charging.

It’s undeniably one of the very best camera phones you can buy right now, taking on that mantle from Google Pixel 3.

It’s a compact device that offers a unique design you won’t see in other flagships. This uniqueness comes from its appearance, the materials it uses, and the fact that it’s smaller than a lot of other top-end devices.

The good news is that the Pixel 4's starting price is lower than that of the Pixel 3 in the UK.

I would like to thank savincom for the hard work that they have done, they have managed to meet all our requirements and have delivered it in a timely fashion. They have reduced our monthly outgoings for our mobiles by a 1/5 of which we are very happy about.

Maintenance Manager, Luxury Hotel Group

Since moving to Savincom, we have received excellent and responsive customer service, the small number of issues we have experienced have been resolved in an efficient and expert manner. We have significantly reduced our running costs, with the proactive account management, currently running a reduction of c.40% on costs, the cost reduction has been most prevalent around roaming and international calling. The transfer from Vodafone Direct to Savincom Vodafone was smooth and seamless, with onsite support offered during the days of the transfer. If I was to score them out of 10, it would be 10 as the have excelled as a service partner.

Office Manager, Leading Global Commodity Merchant

We have worked with Savin Communications for four years now and we are delighted with the work carried out so far. We have 300+ connections, so service needs to be of the highest quality, which is what we get with Savin Communications. We have a rapid staff turnover and Savin assist us when utilising connections. We used to be on a plan where we were constantly going over minutes and data allowances. Savin Communications has helped us source a much better quality plan and they understand the high standards that our organisation have and are most efficient in delivering well within time limits…. The account manager is always easy to contact and help is really appreciated, meetings with him are regular. The assistance and support we receive is always
responsive, proactive and excellent at all times. The advice given is easy to understand along with their online portal which is easy to use too, communicated in a friendly accessible manner. I would highly recommend Savin Communications.

ICT Manager, National Charity

Having paid overly expensive mobile phone bills for several years, we switched to Savincom who assured us of substantial savings, especially for our mobile phone usage abroad. They were not wrong! Our bills have practically halved since the switch and furthermore Savincom provide a great support service, with any queries or problems being acknowledged and dealt with swiftly and professionally.

Finance Manager, Global Shipping Company

I can confirm that we switched over our account from a direct one held with one of the Networks, to one under Savincom’s control and have been more than happy with the service thus far. As a Canadian Investment Bank with frequent overseas travellers, I found doing business direct with the Network over the past few years and my numerous dedicated account managers very frustrating indeed. Wrong price plans, outdated tariffs, changes of Account Managers, limited cover on the weekend support desk, and bolt -on’s not being applied to our overseas travellers etc. We are seeing benefits in not having to deal with the Network directly. I would be happy to recommend them in terms of the mobile contract that they proposed and especially their customer service.

Operations Manager, Investment Bank

Since using Savincom our bills have noticeably decreased and every possible bundle is being added and removed when necessary. The service levels are a world away from what we experienced previously; I get a response back from their support team in at least 5 minutes, and everyone is extremely helpful. The account management is makes a big difference as well. Everything is straightforward and I can request information on our account and be sent a detailed report. I would highly recommend Savincom.

Office Manager, Investment Company

I have used Savin for the last 4 years and their customer service, support, timescale to response and resolve any queries etc. has been first class! I am the IT Manager for a large construction based Group and as you can appreciate we have a large number of guys based on construction sites who break their phone frequently (and lose them!) so I require a swift service to replace phones and sims, bar phone lines and order new lines (either phone or 4G dongles) ASAP, all of which Savin deliver! So I would recommend Savin without hesitating!

IT Manager, Construction Group

The highlight for me is being able to shoot an email to Savincom support and almost
immediately getting an engaging response, they want to solve my problems rather
than assign blame to someone. Overall we are very pleased to be working with a great team.

IT Manager, Private Equity

Savincom are my righthand. I just phone and everything gets dealt with – no more long maddening calls to mobile providers. Thank you Savincom. You guys rock!

Andrea Sequeira

Not only have our monthly bills been cut by more than half, savincom saved hours of my time spent on the phone to network direct customer support lines.

Sujin Bailey

Having had our mobile phone contracts managed by savincom has saved the company considerable time and administrative effort.
