when it comes to Android phones there are plenty of top to your options to choose from the pixel 2 is Google's marquee phones which starts at six hundred and forty nine dollars then there's the five hundred and $29 one plus six a phone made by a dark horse of a company whose inexpensive yet powerful phones garner a loyal fan base if you're torn between the two we've stacked them against one another to see which one is the better buy though both phones look rather bland the pixel twos biggest advantage is that it's waterproof oneplus claims that the one plus six is more water resistant than past iterations but because it's not IP certified for water protection you can't dunk it safely under water but in every other design aspect this phone is a winner here it has a bigger six point twenty eight inch screen ultra thin bezels and a headphone jack the pixel two has one of the best cameras out there even with just it's single rear camera compared to one plus six is dual images were sharper on the pixel to its hdr+ enhanced feature render scenes with tricky lighting better and it handles low-light excellently lastly while both phones have optical image stabilization only the pixel two uses it for video on top of that it integrates gyro based AIS technology in the end footage recorded on the pixel 2 was way smoother and steadier don't get me wrong the oneplus 6 takes sharp vibrant and well focused pictures but when it comes to which phone takes the better photo I have to hand it to the pixel to both phones run near vanilla versions of Android Oreo and both can run the beta version of Android p1 plus has useful add-ons - like a shelf page on the homescreen an individual app lock on the pixel - you can access the digital assistant Google assistant by squeezing on the sides of the phone it also has google lens which calls up info from a visual image like a landmark book cover or piece of art what truly gives a pixel to the edge however is that it's Google's phone because it'll receive fresh updates the moment they roll out from the company it wins this round with its snapdragon 845 chipset the oneplus 6 flies by the pixel - in our benchmark test it's higher capacity battery also lasts longer in our lab tests for continuous video playback on airplane mode the 1 + 6 + is 15 and a half hours while the pixel - lasted 13 and a half that doesn't mean the pixel - is a slouch and it's still a zippy and reliable today as when I first took it out of its box but numbers don't lie and the 1 + 6 rises to the top with their superb hardware and performances the pixel 2 + 1 plastics are unsurprisingly tied to 4 - at this point then the phone that's best for you depends on how heavily you weigh these categories and what they mean to you if you use your phone to take tons of photos or need that extra water protection that 120 dollars extra you pay will be worth it for the pixel - of course if you rather have a longer battery life a larger screen or more money in your pockets all of which are completely reasonable things to want definitely buy the oneplus 6 whatever phone you end up going with you'll be satisfied with either ones that being said if you're undecided and don't need a new phone ASAP consider waiting to see what Google has in store in October that's when the pixel 3 is expected to be lunch and you'll have yet another choice to choose from
