oh hey come on in have a seat I'm so glad you're able to make it can I get you something to drink yeah all right look I know why you're here and everything is going to be okay you're not the first iPhone owner who's thought about upgrading to a pixel two instead of an iPhone 10 know what phone do you have right now oh the 5s oh man you know make them like this anymore do they Wow the SE but you don't I mean right now normally you would upgrade from this - well this the iPhone 10 right yeah but you're thinking about upgrading to this the pixel - the good news is I've been using both of these phones their last few months and I got to be honest the pixel 2 is the best Android phone for those iPhone owners looking to break up with Apple let's talk price so an iPhone 10 with 64 gigabytes of storage cost $999 us the pixel - with the same storage costs $650 us that's 350 dollars less I mean come on right but what do you get for that let's take a look at what's in the box so for the iPhone 10 you get a pair of headphones and a lightning connector you get a headphone dongle and you get a charging cable and charger for the pixel - you get this strange-looking doohickey it plugs into the bottom of your phone and you could transfer your old photos videos and music from your iPhone to your pixel - there's no headphone jack and there's no headphones but there's a dongle and there's also a wall charger and cable but this is not an ordinary wall charger and cable no this is a quick charger and after 15 minutes can add seven hours of battery life to the pixel - I mean come on all right now the iPhone 10 it can quick charge to just not with a cable that comes in the box you have to buy a lightning to USB C cable and a higher wattage power adapter which costs like an extra 74 dollars I mean come on right all right let's talk design so the iPhone 10 and it's it's that's beautiful stainless steel band the back is glass it kind of looks like a movie prop from a futuristic sci-fi movie notice anything missing that's right no home button which means no fingerprint sensor which means you and lock this phone with your face no no no no no not like that let me show you like that and it works really well now since there's no home button they've added a few new gestures which at first are kind of annoying to remember but you know within a couple weeks they're like second nature let's talk about the pixel twos design it looks pretty much like most cell phones have for the last few years there's a chin and forehead on the top and bottom bezels on either side but Google has made it look pretty slick on the back here you have a glass top and the bottom here it's coated in plastic and it feels fantastic oh what's this it's a fingerprint reader just like the one in your iPhone 5s this is just on the back of the phone you know as good as the hardware is though another thing you need to consider is the software have you ever used Android before you know what for a lot of iPhone owners old versions of Android are chaotic and well not very secure but that has cage Android Oreo is fantastic and it works just as well in the pixel to as iOS 11 does on the iPhone 10 now there are some differences but for most things Android and iOS are pretty well matched hmm take a look at the back again notice anything yeah so the pixel two has one camera and the iPhone 10 has two rear cameras but they took they both take amazing photos in fact I would say the pixel twos photos have just a little bit more detail and a little bit better dynamic range in low light it is not to say that this iPhone 10 takes bad photos that's just to say that this pixel 2 has that good of a camera now the second camera on the iPhone does something pretty cool it gives you two times optical zoom which lets you get well 2 times closer to your subject and the neat thing is unlike digital zoom the images look amazing some other things are think about the iPhone 10 does have a faster processor but the pixel 2 has a longer battery life at the end of the day the pixel 2 is the best choice for an iPhone owner looking not to upgrade to the iPhone 10 it's cheaper than the iPhone 10 has as good if not a better camera than the iPhone 10 has a longer battery life of the iPhone 10 and it runs Android Orio which would surprise even the most devout iOS user with its fit and finish you know what I'm gonna keep your 5s because I want to give you your new pixel to how you feeling now thought so
