The Google Pixel 4 XL Geekbench appearance suggests that it is fueled by Snapdragon 8150 which seems to be the Snapdragon 855 mobile platform. It is running on the yet-to-be-announced Android Q OS. In the single core test of Geekbench, the Pixel 4 XL has scored 1712 points. In the multi-core test, it has recorded 5774 points. The benchmarking scores are very low for a Snapdragon 855 powered phone. It could be probably because of presence of 4 GB of RAM.
