what's up guys David here and the iPhone 7 plus and the Google pixel Excel are easily two of the best smartphones out right now so in this two-part Bumble style video series we're gonna be looking at a bunch of reasons why each phone could be considered better than the other but before we get into it I want to give a big shout out to graphics dot-com for sponsoring today's video so graphics talk has the largest unlimited download library of graphics photos vectors and images on the internet with over three hundred thousand-plus to choose from now most websites charge you per graphics so if you want to use their images and commercial projects it will cost you as much as thirty dollars per image so as you can imagine things can get really expensive really quickly when you're designing your websites running a blog or a YouTube channel or you're making do yourself or art projects that you might want to sell but with graphic stock you get unlimited downloads for just one annual fee and all memberships come with a 100% royalty-free agreement now it's usually priced at $99 a year but for this holiday season graphic stock is offering an exclusive $50 discount so click on the link down below in the description to get $50 off your annual membership or go to graphics dot-com slash holidays alright let's get right into it reason number one ip67 water and dust resistance with the iPhone 7 plus you don't have to worry about accidental spills and can even clean your phone after using it with dirty hands but it goes beyond just the accidental spill really changing the way you use the phone and letting you do things that you couldn't do before like taking it into the shower with you to listen to music to design the old metal back on the iPhone 7 plus is not only less susceptible to damage than the half glass back on the pixel but it's also a heck of a lot less of a fingerprint magnet 3 touch ID the iPhones fingerprint scanner is supported by more third-party apps allowing you to use it for security more often than you can on the pixel on top of that the scanner is on the front of the device instead of on the back letting you unlock the phone while it's lying flat on the table without having to pick it up every time like you do on the pixel for vibrate switch this allows you to easily put the phone on vibrate but maybe more importantly it also acts as a visual cue to save you from accidental rings reason number five do speakers having two speakers instead of only one with one speaker at the bottom and one at the top the iPhone 7 plus offers both louder and fuller audio making watching videos or listening to music that much better 6 parental controls better parental controls with restrictions allow you to block content and actions through a password-protected setting meaning you can make sure your kid isn't visiting any web sites they shouldn't be and even have the option to prevent them from erasing browser history so you can monitor their activity 7 family sharing you can share apps and purchases with up to 6 people and your family which can offer you a pretty significant savings on music and apps 8 better apps the App Store the iPhone often gets new apps first by weeks or even months gets updates for apps first and sometimes even gets better versions of the same apps as many developers make development for iOS their priority 9 text-to-speech you can have selected text right back to you out loud pretty much anywhere you can actually select text which is nice when you want to read something that is really long without having to look at the screen like for example when you're cooking or even when you're driving reason number 10 dual cameras so I'm not gonna lie both phones have great cameras but the difference is the iPhone 7 plus has two of those great cameras instead of only one with the second camera equipped with a telephoto lens allowing for a 2 X optical zoom meaning you can zoom in up to two times without losing any quality 11 bluetooth battery indicator with supported accessories you can see the battery level of a connected Bluetooth accessory and the status bar which can let you know when it's time for a charge 12 higher storage model available so neither of these phones have expandable SD slots so if you're a heavy-duty user that likes to keep a lot of photos music apps and games on your phone the iPhone 7 plus may be a better option as there's an available 256 gigabyte option compared to the max 128 found on the pixel 13 iMessage iMessage not only lets you send messages with read and received indicators but it also has expressive messages where you can send a message with bubble effects and more which can give your messages that extra oomph they were missing before 14 more accessories available with the iPhone having a similar design for the past few years and using the same lightning port for even longer there are naturally more compatible accessories for the iPhone 7 plus compared to the pixel and it's relatively new USB type-c charging port reason number 15 3d touch 3d touch lets you physically push in on the iPhone screen with the extra pressure acting as an alternate input method this allows you to do things ranging from firing a gun and a first-person shooter to opening up app shortcuts for the camera my personal favorite is the cursor control you get when you press in on the keyboard making editing your text super quick and easy 16 tap to top you can tap on the notification bar in any app to automatically scroll to the top of the app which can be especially useful when you scroll really far down a social media feed 17 Google ecosystem available so you obviously get apple's apps on the iPhone but you also get some of the best apps from Google like Google now hallo and more whereas on the pixel outside of Apple music you don't really get any other Apple apps like iMessage or Siri so with the iPhone is kind of like you're getting the best of both worlds from Apple and Google 18 raised awake this feature automatically turns the screen on when you pick up the iPhone so you can see the time in any missed notifications quickly without actually having to unlock the phone 19 better landscape support whether you're in messages or in the settings the iPhone 7 plus often offers additional functionality when the phone is held in landscape for example in the browser holding the 7 plus in landscape makes it easy to switch back and forth between different tabs like you would on a desktop computer whereas on the pixel yet to take the extra step of tapping on the tab menu first making the browsing experience on the 7 plus feel more like you using a little tablet reason number 20 taptic engine the taptic engine on the iPhone 7 plus allows for a whole new level of haptic feedback with it being more responsive and having a much wider range of frequencies this results in the interactions with your phone feeling more real for example when you scroll through a list it literally feels like you're turning a padlock is sensation that the regular vibrations on the pixel just can't twenty-one more LTE bands the iPhone 7 Clause has more LTE bands in the pixel making it a better phone for traveling internationally as it's more likely to be fully supported in the country you're visiting 22 brighter display the display on the iPhone 7 plus is significantly brighter than the one on the pixel XL which should translate into it being a bit easier to see when outdoors and under direct sunlight 23 live photos this feature lets all those photos you take come back to life with short three-second video clips making reliving those moments that much better 24 reach ability unlike the pixel XL the iPhone has a feature that makes using its large 5.5 inch display easier with one hand where a double top of the home button brings the top half of the screen down putting those corner icons easily Within Reach and finally reason number 25 faster performance as shown in our foam of style speed tests the seven-plus is significantly faster than the pixel XL offering faster initial load up times and a better ability to keep apps ready for you in the background okay so now that you've heard the reasons why the iPhone 7 plus can be consider better click here or in the link down below in the description to see why the pixel XL can be considered better and then after watching both videos let me know which phone you think has the stronger reasons or if there were any reasons that matter to you that didn't make the list let me
