Android channel says it prefers the Android phone. Thank you very much for that, lmao.
Here's the problem with the pixel phones (I've owned the 6, 7 and 8 pro). The 6 had connectivity issues for me and a ton of software bugs. The 7 pro didn't have cellular connectivity issues and was much more polished but had bluetooth connection problems requiring reboots all the time. Now I'm on the 8 pro and it inexplicably has the same poor cellular connectivity as the 6 and the fingerprint scanner doesn't work as well at my former 7 pro despite many rescans of my finger trying to fix it. I agree the pixels have the best software features but the inconsistent hardware experience with inferior modems, fingerprint scanners etc. is a real letdown. I keep thinking the next release will have ironed out all the bugs, which is why I keep upgrading but sadly it's not true. The everyday annoyances have driven me to strongly consider the iphone.
Getting an iPhone is less risky
Too short. You should compare them in depth so we can see and value every detail about each phone
Stop it get a iPhone
The Pixel software experience is unmatched in my opinion. I just upgraded to the iPhone 15 Pro Max, and I still occasionally marvel at the software experience when using my 2 year old Pixel 6.
Something that also bothers me about iOS is the animations and transitions when navigating the OS. The iPhone 15 is fast and the refresh rate is as high as premium Android phones, but something about iOS animations and transitions makes it feel slower than what it is.
Apple way better
Google call features are kool but you not gonna use it like that ……
It not as polish as my iPhone
Bought 2 pixels and a iPhone. The amount of bugs in the pixel 8 pro were numerous. Couldn't even connect to the car to make calls. IPhone 15, no issue. Foul ball.
Am waiting for pixel 10 pro then I will jump from my OnePlus phones and give pixel a chance. I have a tingling feeling pixel 10 pro will be amazing.
@google pixel phones not yet , not there yet……..pixel phones have a long way to go…….
That's what the Audio magic eraser really mean:

Plus the Pixel 8 Pro is only $799 soon. It’s $300 cheaper than 15 Pro Max with the equivalent storage variant.
Google tries to copy iPhone like Samsung does more and more aswell.
They focus on software and their hardware is just mediocre compared to other manufacturers.
The charging speed, prices and camera hardware are not top tier.
I expect 1 inch Sensor and 120 watt charging for this price tag.
Also why no one is copying the alert slider like OnePlus did?
I won't buy any of the big brands until they fix the obvious.
Tbh the best looking Smartphone atm is the Oppo Find X6 Pro.
Pixel. Software is key.
Forgot to color grade the video?
I'll stick to Pixel a line. Few months after release I bought 6a for $300 and on swappa 7a in mint condition is going for $300. Heck, even Pixel 7 pro is $480. Newest flagship is not 2x better than last year's version.
I think Pixel will have a real chance at competing with the big players when they ditch Tensor. Many features still offload tasks to the cloud and/or can still run on older devices but are soft locked. Tensor is inefficient, and 3-4 years behind the industry in terms of performance. The fact they upped prices and still use an Exynos based chip with no legitimate excuse as to why, is not doing them any favors. This is coming from someone who uses a Pixel 8 Pro as a daily.
These comparisons, while entertaining, are becoming less and less useful with every generation. For most consumers, it simply comes down to which ecosystem you prefer.
Good luck today! 👅
iPhone sorry. Pixel battery sucks.
iPhone is like a downgrade comparable to the pixel
Noone Has ever doubt it,after all iPhone loses even in comparison to Nokia 3310
I prefer the android camp (Google pixel family, Samsung family and Xiaomi family)
