The new Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL from Google are two amazing smartphones. If this is the first device you’ve purchased in a long time, there are a lot of new software features which you may not know how to use. To take the mystery out of the phone, we’ve put together a list of the 10 most important things every Pixel 4 owner should do with their phone to get the best experience possible from the device.

Feel free to leave us a comment if you have any other Pixel 4 recommendations that you’d like to share with us or our readers.

The Pixel 4 comes with an adaptive refresh rate that kicks in from time to time when the display brightness is set close to its max or when you’re scrolling in an application. While the variable refresh rate is great for conserving battery, you can force the 90 Hz refresh rate if you enable Developer options on the Pixel 4. First, go to Settings > About Phone and scroll to the very bottom. Tap Build Number seven times. When prompted, enter your lock pin, pattern or password and Developer options will then be enabled on the phone.

Navigate back to Settings > System > Advanced > Developer options > Force 90 Hz refresh rate and switch the toggle on.
