A little more detail in this one.

oDroid XU4 is still more powerful.

Performance has never been the most compelling reason to go with the pi, it's the vast community support on so many avenues.  I would think that this performance boost should only serve to further that.

A word of warning. There is a hardware flaw that prevents powering from a standard USB charger/port. You have to use the official Pi4 adapter. They will be releasing a hardware revision to address this, but the initial units will be affected. So I wouldn't buy one for a while, to be sure that you don't get one of theses initial run boards.
