so if you're considering a pixel 3xl there's a pretty good chance that you might also be considering a one plus sixty after all one plus has always been very competitive and comparable to Google's pixel phones and even some of Google's prior Nexus phones although oneplus phones have gotten more expensive over the years they still undercut the competition by a pretty big margin because frankly other flagship smartphones have also gone up in price the oneplus 60 starts at five hundred and forty nine dollars for the six gigabyte of ram version with a hundred and twenty eight gigs of storage and tops out at six hundred and twenty nine dollars with eight gigs of ram and 256 gigs of storage the pixel 3xl starts at $8.99 for 64 gigabytes and will set you back $1000 for double the storage both models come with four gigabytes of RAM now even though the one plus 60 is priced very competitively in order for oneplus to meet that price point they still have to leave out some key features that are starting to become pretty common in a lot of other smartphones the oneplus 16 doesn't have wireless charging and it also doesn't have official IP certification against water and dust both of which the pixel 3xl have so if you care pretty heavily about those features the pixel 3 XL is going to be worth the extra cost wireless charging is a convenient feature to have but I don't consider it a necessity so I don't really mind that the oneplus sixty doesn't have it and they're ridiculously fast - charging sort of makes up for the fact that it doesn't have wireless charging IP certification on the other hand is a very important feature and it's a feature that's even starting to become important to the most average of consumers so it kind of surprises me a little bit that oneplus hasn't added it in yet overall though the hardware between the pixel three XL and one plus 60 are very comparable they both run on Snapdragon 845 s they both don't have a headphone jack they both have large AMOLED screens and they're both made of metal and glass now when it comes to design I don't really prefer one over the other I like them both pretty equally they're pretty similar in size they both feel very comfortable to hold and use and build quality isn't real a problem but most phones nowadays tend to have pretty good build quality anyways one thing that makes it one plus 60 pretty unique is that it's the first phone sold in the US with an optical fingerprint sensor this means that the fingerprint sensor is embedded underneath the display and it's pretty cool and feels very futuristic but it's nowhere near as fast as the traditional fingerprint sensor that you get on the pixel 3xl and it's also pretty inconsistent sometimes it unlocks at a reasonable speed and other times it takes a good 2 to 3 seconds before actually unlocking which kind of gets annoying I think this technology will definitely get better over time but for now I still prefer the more traditional fingerprint sensor of the pixel 3xl something that I like better about the one +60 though is the way that it handles the knotch on its display a lot of phone displays this year have come with notches but this is probably the most attractive looking one it uses this teardrop shaped notch which cuts out a very small portion of the screen because it only houses a front-facing camera and most people will probably like this over the pixel 3 excels gigantic not like every other notch you do get used to the pixel 3 excels notch but if you want the best looking not able the 60 is obviously the better choice software I think is one of the biggest reasons why a lot of people tend to compare oneplus phones to pixel phones with a pixel 3xl you get the purest Android software possible it's a completely stock clean and simple Android 9pi experience and because it's a pixel you're always going to be the first to get the next version of Android or any other major software update that Google pushes out the oneplus 60 runs oxygen OS and what I've always enjoyed about oxygen OS is that it feels a lot like stock Android but oxygen OS gives you a ton of customization options you can change the accent colors pick between a light or dark theme and there's a bunch of different gesture controls that you can use as shortcuts for launching apps or other functions the oneplus sixty also comes with Android Pi out of the box and oneplus is one of the better companies out there when it comes to updating their devices they're pretty quick with releasing updates and usually you can try a beta version of the update before it goes public if you want the update even sooner alright so let's talk about the cameras the oneplus 60 uses a 16 and 20 megapixel combo and the pixel 3xl still uses a single 12 megapixel lens because Google does so much on the software side of things that they don't feel the need to use two lenses the oneplus sixty produces some really great images with fantastic colors and sharpness and keeps up really well with the pixel 3xl for the most part but the pixel 3xl outperforms c1 plus 60 in dynamic range and low-light by no means is dynamic range on the oneplus 16 bad it's just that the pixel 3 XL is that much better and when looking at their photos side by side you can see how much more shadow and highlight detail the pixel 3xl is able to capture low-light shots from the pixel 3xl are also much sharper and more detailed and this is without even resorting to using night sight night sight pretty much transforms the pixel 3xl into an entirely different camera and there isn't much the oneplus sixty can do to capture a comparable image so if I had to pick between these two phones I would go with the pixel 3 XL yes it's a little bit more expensive but I like the wireless charging I like the ip68 certification and I prefer the image quality of the pixel 3 XL the oneplus 60 still provides amazing value with price to performance and it also has a super clean software experience with oxygen OS but as an overall package I like the pixel 3xl better but which one would you guys choose let me know down in the comment section below if you are team one plus 60
