this year Apple released the iPhone 8 and Google launched the pixel 2 both are fantastic phones with different pros and cons both the iPhone and pixel 2 are water-resistant which is great for extra protection but they also don't have headphone jacks and you'll need to use wireless headphones or a dongle to listen to music while neither phones have a mind-blowing design the iPhone 8 looks generally sleeker with its all glass back but the pixel 2 has a slightly larger display with a higher resolution it also doesn't exhibit any of the reported screen issues found in the larger pixel 2 XL due to its different screen technology both phones take fantastic photos and use a single lens rear camera with optical image stabilization they can capture slow-motion video and fun giphy photos too but the pixel 2 can take dramatic bouquet style portrait photos on both cameras they don't always come out perfect but it works pretty well and it's an enjoyable feature to have the iPhone 8 has an a 11 Bionic processor from Apple while the pixel 2 has a snapdragon 835 chipset from Qualcomm we ran benchmark tests including antutu 3d mark and Geekbench in every test the iPhone 8 consistently beat the pixel - that doesn't mean the pixel - is a slouch at all but when it comes to the numbers the iPhone 8 wins it during our battery tests for continuous video playback on airplane mode the iPhone 8 lasted 14 hours and 12 minutes it also has wireless charging in the same test the pixel tube didn't last as long clocking in 13 hours and 28 minutes a large part of what phone you buy depends on what ecosystem you're comfortable with Apple's iPhone 8 runs iOS 11 and has a digital voice assistant Siri iOS also features syncing iMessages across devices and Apple pay the pixel - runs Android Orio with Google assistant ok Google what do fruit bats eat it also has google lens which cause up information about the world around you using the camera and lenz will roll out to other Android phones later if you're already not deeply integrated in the Apple OS ecosystem I personally go with a pixel to true its processor isn't as powerful as iPhone 8 on paper and it's battery doesn't last as long but I prefer the pixels sharper screen and camera features it also starts out at about $50 less than the iPhone 8 so you could keep more dough in your wallet too
