Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “iPhone 15 VS Google Pixel 8 – NOT What You Think!”.
Every single base, iPhone review, includes a batch of comments that follows pretty much the same theme X, Android phone has additional refresh rate or more cameras or better specs for the same or less money and sure a lot of that is true, but the problem is that None of it seems to be what most people care about. I mean sure there are more Android phones sold each year than iPhones at least globally, but that’s a you word of pile them up and include all the cheap phones that don’t really match those arguments. Once you start looking into which company sells most phones, then yeah, it’s crazy to think that apple is uh second around the world and first in the United States, by a long shot. Those numbers alone make the next comparison unfair, even if this might actually be the best example of those arguments on one corner. We have the iPhone 15. What Apple calls as new Foria and what we’ve considered as the best update to this lineup in years and on the other, we have the pixel 8. What Google calls is powerful in every way helpful every day and what we think is maybe the most underrated phone of the year but uh for 3 years in a row seriously. It’S sad to see pixels at just 3 % of the US market share versus Apple’s 53 %. So the question is which one should you pick I’m hi Mar with pocket now and let’s find out in our full comparison off the bat. If the price were the driving factor for every purchase, pixels would have won this years ago. This pixel 8 launched at $ 100 less than the iPhone 15 and is already seeing an extra $ 150 in discounts before trade-ins heck. You could even get double the storage for nearly $ 200 less versus an iPhone that never really sees discounts, and that’s the first indication that this comparison is is not necessarily that simple visually well, each phone has its own design. Language Apple has opted for.
Last year’s. Look on a feel, that’s far more ergonomic, while Google has done the same thing, though that’s as long as you keep your fingers away from the camera. Visor sure it has the advantage of not wobbling on a table compared to the iPhone, but it’s uh much sharper than even its predecessors.
It is Google’s smallest pixel in years and one of the few small Android phones left, but it’s still 3 mm taller. 1 mm wider and thicker and 16 G heavier than the iPhone, even if they’re both made of the same materials I’d say, I drift more to preferring Apple’s overall execution in the hand, but it’s a tough choice, as the pixel isn’t really bad at all. Now flip them around and uh.
Let’S just say it would be easy to call Google’s phone the winner because it boasts better specifications on paper, but that depends on what you care about most sure. The pixel has 120 HZ, refresh rate versus 60, offers more brightness and basic and Peak scenarios, and is a hair larger and can even go always on the thing. Is I favor Apple’s color accuracy on this panel? A lot more, in addition to its added resolution and pixel density, along with just how proven ceramic Shield is at surviving, Falls versus everything else. The reality is that a lot of people just want a larger screen. That said, though, both phones do a good job at providing loud dual firing speakers, even if I feel the iPhone does a better job at the mids, I’m suspect think most people just didn’t see enough of a right about now. I should be saying that the gamer should pick the pixel, because it’s got the added refresh rate right.
Well, I would if tensor G3 wouldn’t make that kind of pointless play a little genin impact on the pixel and see it barely keep up with 30 frames per. Second, while the iPhone keeps up with 60 frames per second, just fine sure Apple’s a16 bionic is a year old, but it pretty much wipes the floor with Google’s latest chip when it comes to horsepower and Graphics, even under the same for nanometer architecture and two extra Gigs of RAM now, when the rest of the things that matter both have the same base storage, but then the iPhone gives you higher options. Yes, the pixel has a larger battery and faster charging, but they both top up at the same amount of time and last about the same about the only thing left is that the pixel does have a SIM tray and Wi-Fi 7 versus what apple is currently offering. Now gaming is a clear example that more isn’t necessarily better. I mean Google owns Android as much as Apple owns iOS, and yet the added specs you get on the pixel are pretty much useless when compared to how well optimized the base iPhone is now once you compare each platform. I’D say each phone has its own way to Delight its user base visually. This is a matter of taste, but I will admit that I’m not a fan of Google’s material. U mainly because of the wasted space or widgets, either not taking advantage of the Grid or at a glance not being something you can disable.
That said, everything else else is pretty awesome. The Google Assistant continues to evolve in ways that make this phone more useful. Even if, sadly, most of the best updates are only reaching the pro model, the ones that are finally available like being able to summarize your voice recordings or web pages is great as an idea.
But three bullet points out of a long. Article is not useful at all. Still the little things like how this phone screens spam calls or the major things like timely Android, updates until 2030, make it worth grabbing with iOS updates have really never been a problem and Visually.
I do find it more cohesive, especially in its approach to widgets. It’S use of space is just right for a small phone like this one, and then the dynamic island is now here to give you contextual awareness of the services you’re currently using and let’s be real. The way this phone connects to any other Apple product is just second to none. That said, sure it’s not perfect, either I’d, say Siri Trails way behind the Google assistant in usefulness and even if Google’s approach Ro to generative AI is still pretty limited. Apple still has nothing if anything, Google’s open philosophy plays against the pixel, because, most, if not all, Google services work on the iPhone for everyone wanting to switch while the same cannot be said the other way around now, regardless of which phone handles gaming best day-to-day user Experience is pretty solid on both each device is very Snappy at handling its UI. Even if sure the pixel looks smoother once you enable 120 HZ phone calls work pretty well on both devices on AT .
