hey guys this is Austin today is the launch of the iPhone 10 which could be the most hyped phone of the year well unless you count this of course I recently did a video on the pixel 2 and I came away with it thinking that it is one of my favorite phones I've ever tried but how does it stack up to the iPhone 10 so if we pop this guy open we see designed by Apple in California who cares about that what I care about is the iPhone 10 Wow it actually it's a little bit thicker than I thought it's probably about the same as something like the 8 but interesting the black looks really nice so that along with the metal band that's sort of this dark chrome this is a good looking phone but before we get too far into it let's see what else we gets surprise surprise inside the box is the standard power adapter even though you know the cyclone supports not only wireless charging but also fast charging but you know this works we also get a pair of lightning ear pods as well as the Lightning two three and a half millimeter adapter same as pretty much all the iPhone 7s eights that kind of thing and there is a lightning to USB cable so with the iPhone 10 powered up the first thing I notice is the knotch now to be fair the bezels around the rest of the phone are really tiny probably smaller than pretty much anything besides maybe something I think Alex yes 8 but the knotch it's noticeable although I don't think it's gonna be that big of a deal just using it for three seconds of almost forgot it's there put the iPhone side-by-side with a pixel two and the pixel 2 XL you'll see it's actually fairly similar to the size of the standard pixel now that is even including the fact that this has a five point eight inch display which is nearly as big as the six inch display on the XL - all this being said I actually prefer these standard size of the pixel - for reasons that I'll get into in a minute but it is hard to argue with just how nice of a piece of hardware the iPhone 10 is my only slight issue with the hardware is the camera homp it's a lot larger than I would expect maybe for the pixel XL - does have a little bit of a camera hump but compared to the iPhone 10 which just kind of rattles around it's a lot bigger on the other hand the iPhone 10 does support wireless charging or the aluminum back pixel - does not both phones are ip67 rated which means that in theory they should survive under one meter of water for 30 minutes however if you watched my iPhone 7 plus video last year it died in about 7 seconds of being in a bowl of water so here goes nothing all right iPhone 10 is in now let's get the pixel in okay well water's going over the table what the screens are on I'm going to leave them in for one minute because I don't want to break my phone's hey I'm just being honest right so coming everywhere it looks like both phones are fine ah sweet I don't have to spend a bunch of money inside the iPhone 10 is the Apple a 11 Bionic chip which has three high power cores and three low power cores three gigabytes of RAM and either 64 or 256 gigs of storage on the other hand the pixel 2 has the Snapdragon 835 which takes for high-power cores and for low power cores puts them together with 4 gigs of RAM and either 64 or 128 gigabytes of storage when you take a look at the performance in Geekbench though it is not even close the iPhone 10 is hands down the fastest phone out there on the graphics side with GFX bench well it's a little bit closer it's still really hard to argue with the iPhone 10 which is really impressive considering that the iPhone has two fewer cores at this point not only is it faster than pretty much any other phone out there but it's starting to approach a lot of high end laptops of course benchmarks are one thing and real world use is another so the pixel 2 is hands down the fastest Android phone I've ever tried even though yes on paper it might not be quite as fast as the iPhone and actual practical use it's really hard to see a difference some of the iPhone 10 drops but the pixel 2 still has a fingerprint sensor I've got to say this one is great always a place on the back of the phone which is really simple to get at but it's also incredibly quick so to set a face ID on the iPhone it should be pretty simple all I need to do is look all the way around and it should scan my face so raise the phone and swipe up and it's unlocked that's actually pretty quick I'm curious though how well face ID works when it's laying flat on something like a table if i unlock it here swipe up oh it got it I still have my reservations about how good face idea is going to be in the long run but at first glance it actually does seem to be pretty well implemented well it's not the most practical thing I've got to say that an emoji on the iPhone 10 are kind of fine so if I hit record here hey guys this is lost are an emoji worth it now you do need to learn some new gestures on the iPhone 10 so instead of having a home button instead you swipe from the bottom to leave an app and then you swipe up into the right to pull up your multitasking from here you can go between your different apps or you can use the little thing on the bottom to actually scroll between which app is open it does say a little bit of getting used to but it's actually not bad in comparison the pixel 2 feels downright normal so there are some cool features such as they're always on display which I like to be able to see stuff like time date notifications at a glance the pixel also has Google assistant which I like a lot more than Siri so that activate you should need to squeeze the frame of the phone the main feature of the iPhone tendo is absolutely the display it's rocking a 5.8 inch 24 36 by 1124 AMOLED display now not only is this the first time that Apple's gone with OLED but as you can see the bezels are absolutely tiny what this means is that you're basically getting an iPhone 8 sized chassis but with a much much larger screen I've got to say it works it's right up there with the galaxy s 8 no date as far as some of the best screens out there so it's nice it's saturated it's pretty sharp well there is just a little bit of color shifting when you look at it off angle it is nowhere near as bad as the pixels the standard pixel 2 has a pretty decent 1080p 5 inch OLED display and while it's something spectacular it totally gets the job done when you switch to the pixel 2 X although that's where you take a hard turn into garbage town you look at it dead-on the colors are ok but stuff like Reds look awfully Brown when you look at it off angle it looks very blue and there been a lot of reports of issues with screen burnin now Google will be releasing an update which will supposedly help some of this stuff but when you compare it to the iPhone 10 it is no competition at the very least audio is an area where neither of these phones have major issues they both have stereo speakers you know what I think they both sound good but actually do have to give the lead to the pixel it's a little bit louder and a little bit clearer of course that's not a big deal when you plug in a pair of headphones as both of these have headphone jack oh oh right it's 2017 neither of them have a headphone jack cameras is where both of these phones really excel so the pixel 2 has a 12 megapixel camera and the iPhone 10 has a pair of them one wide angle one telephoto well it might only have a single camera some of the energy I've gotten from the pixel to really are incredible the auto HDR does a great job of bringing a ton of dynamic range into a shot and it does a really good job of being very very sharp it's also optically stabilized just like the iPhone and the low-light performance is not bad either there's really not a lot to complain about with the pixel when it comes to the iPhone 10 you're also getting solid dynamic range and because it is the same camera from the 8 as well as the 8 plus you're also getting nice saturation I love the image just look a little bit punchier than on the pixel both cameras also have a portrait mode so let's start with the iPhone 10 that's not bad so the advantages of this phone is that both of the cameras are optically stabilized which actually does make a pretty big difference for portrait mode compared to the 8 plus on the other hand the pixel to sport mode is purely based on software so if you look closely you'll see that it's not quite perfect so some of the edges are a little bit soft and it doesn't fully blur the background in this shot but a lot of times I actually prefer the results from the pixel too which is really impressive considering that it doesn't have that second camera where it really shines is with selfie portrait mode yeah look at that that's great so now it doesn't do a really good job with the hair but the background is very naturally blurred and we take a look at it on the iPhone 10 yeah that's just not as good so you can see that my hair is a little bit blurry it didn't really perfectly cut my shirt out of the background either video is also solid so this is what the 4k 24 looks like from the iPhone 10 and especially you look at stuff like stabilization in color it's nice if you switch over to the pixel it is also pretty solid one of my big problems with this mode the auto just very good both the iPhone 10 and pixel 2 are incredibly expensive phones so the pixel 2 pairs one of the best cameras on a smartphone we saw an audio and a really impressive build of Android the iPhone has my favorite Hardware of any phone ever and the screen is right up there with the best like the Galaxy s8 and the node 8 which is where the pixel falls apart when it comes to spending $850 on a smart phone a bad screen is a straight-up deal-breaker for me which leaves the standard pixel 2 and when you consider that it is $350 cheaper than the iPhone 10 I'm willing to put up with the less impressive screen and the giant bezels it really is a crazy crazy good phone if you have the budget you're not going to be disappointed with the iPhone 10 but for a lot of people the standard pixel 2 actually makes a lot of sense so which one would you guys go for let me know in the comments below and I will catch you in the next one
