this is the iPhone 10 the phone Apple considers to be the future of the smartphone this is the pixel to excel what Google defines as an answer to asking more of your phone it's hard to declare a winner between my two favorite smartphones of 2017 this is not really an argument of iOS versus Android because these phones are about much more than their operating systems this is more about which phone does what best and if I had to pick only one well prepare to be shocked I'm high metal you got out with pocket now and this is iPhone 10 versus Google pixel to excel side by side it's clear that one company has more experience building hardware than the other the iPhone is dubbed a 10 because it celebrates 10 years of history and this is barely Google's second attempt at taking smartphones seriously the result is an iPhone that looks like nothing else call it the visual future of you may well the pixel to excel is more of an iteration of current designs it took Apple ten years to figure out how to make an iPhone that's mostly display and this serves certain advantages over the pixel for starters the 10 nearly kills the bezel with an insane 83 percent screen to body ratio compared to 76 this means that even if both devices have nearly the same screen size the pixel to excel is 14 millimeters taller 6 millimeters wider 0.2 millimetres thicker and one gram heavier this is one of the main reasons why it's really hard for me to leave the iPhone it has a phablet screen on a regular smartphone body the iPhone also implements OLED in a better way with more accurate colors and less of a color shift when seen from an angle it supports the latest standards like Dolby vision and HDR 10 while we still have no information from Google on its claims about the only spot where the pixel wins is in a bit more resolution giving it 90 more pixels per inch the fact that it abides to the 18 by 9 standard versus Apple's on 19.5 by 9 and that this always-on display is very handy also in the pixels of the fence I'll give it points for its implementation of stereo speakers I mean yes the iPhone has a very loud solution but the black bezels on the pixel match with the front firing speakers have proven to be more immersive for content consumption calling a winner and build quality is a tough one the stainless steel frame is stronger than the pixels aluminum the blend of glass on the iPhone feels great in the hand but break any portion of the back of the 10 and you're looking at nearly $500 to get it replaced only 1/3 of the pixels back is made of glass the premier coating on the aluminum contributes to a very nice feel in the hand I'm gonna add the spec sheet because I know a lot of you liked it but these are the two phones where that list doesn't really matter at all really in what's most important for consumers the iPhones hired to your storage option doubles that of the pixel obviously for more money only the iPhone has Qi wireless charging given the glass back the pixel abides to a more common standard with a fingerprint scanner at the back while the iPhones new party trick is face ID whether you like it or not and yes both devices are ip67 water and dust resistant now for those of you that thought that the iPhone won the comparison only through hardware well that's about to change if the iPhone seemed like more of the future when it comes to the hardware and design the future of software belongs to the pixel to excel now this is not me calling Android better but this is me saying that Google is doing a better job at evolving its origins like for example the whole purpose of having a phablet is to be able to do more with your display given the added screen real-estate but it seems that Apple hasn't really gotten that memo Android Oreo allows the pixel to have picture in picture mode for content consumption just like every other Android phone there's also split window multitasking it's dense approach to the launcher gives users flexibility to show whatever you want wherever you want on the screen and these Google Earth wallpapers are simply awesome now in the iPhone tends the fence I have to admit that this new gesture approach to the UI feels very natural swipe up for home just like if you were throwing the app to the launcher swipe to the site to quickly switch between applications swipe down for reach ability all these gestures make much more sense in the combination of home button presses that existed before I also love how you can set notifications that only show on the lockscreen whenever the phone detects your face like seriously every phone should do this about the only change that I don't praise is having notifications via swipe from the top left and control center and swipe from the top right and last but not least the fact that iOS 11 still looks pretty much like iOS one where Android has aged very well with Oreo and when it comes to the user experience we're gonna continue adding points in favor of the pixel and not the only thing where both phones are comparable is in the fluidness of their user interfaces since you really won't see stutter or lag either way it doesn't really matter if you're playing a game or if you're moving around apps or services I'm gonna get phone calls to the pixel to excel as well sound this both louder and deeper over the earpiece though the experience through the speaker is nearly identical and speaking of calls one of the major reasons why it's so hard for me to leave a pixel this project phi google's MVNO is extremely reliable in the US and sid jumps between the networks of three carriers it's also invaluable for travel given its inexpensive approach to roaming first of all it's now pretty much unlimited for a lot less money than the cost of unlimited on other carriers and you know what I'm also gonna give the battery life topic to the pixel historically iPhone tablets have been more efficient about power management but you can scratch the iPhone 10 from the list seriously I can barely reach end of day on a single charge performing worse than even the small iPhone 8 pixel on the other hand is a beast those of you looking for endurance this is one of those phones were the last thing you'll be looking at is the battery icon throughout the day and then the final nail in the coffin of the iPhone 10 let's talk about these cameras now this claimer I'm not saying that the iPhone 10 takes bad photos on the contrary it takes great photos but you'd have to compare the results of the pixel to understand what I mean I used this night shot to explain the difference to my friends look at the iPhone shot you can clearly see that a flash was used and that there's good detail for a night shot okay this is that same photo taken by the pixel to excel no there are no filters on this photo and notice how on the pixel you can see the bar behind us where on the iPhone it's barely noticeable okay this is what I mean the pixel to excel just annihilates every single smartphone camera of 2017 for the sake of this comparison both phones do great during the day with awesome detail and saturation and the same can be said at night but the pixel software approach to photography ensures a delightful and steady photo every single time to the iPhones defense I'd call its photos more accurate to what the eye is currently seeing the results from the pixel are more eye pleasing and I'm sorry iPhone 10 but your portrait mode is terrible the tricks are nice but accuracy feels more like an alpha and not really a beta and all this with the added depth sensor on the selfie camera and the secondary lens on the primary this phone has a hard time detecting borders and it completely butchers glass it definitely needs work by contrast the pixel gets it right most of the time it's not perfect and it doesn't have the tricks of the iphone 10 but for a phone that lacks extra hardware and does everything through software I have to say I'm extremely impressed I'll give points to the iPhone and video recording given how it does 240 frames per second at 1080p and 4k recording at 60 frames per second still video from both devices in normal conditions is very well implemented regardless and then finally I'm gonna call this a tie when it comes to storage management surely the pixel has an edge because it does give you free cloud storage on Google Drive for your photos but apples adoption of HT b/c compression makes media consume very little space on the phone so bottom line if I had to declare a winner if I was forced to pick one phone out of the iPhone 10 and the Google pixel to excel believe it or not but I would choose the pixel really the main reason why I stick to the iPhone centers because I love the design approach giving me a phablet for a smaller form factor I'm also a big fan of the Apple watch series 3 particularly for fitness which requires an iPhone and yes applications like snapchat looked better on the iPhone for reasons I don't understand along with some other odd variants as an ecosystem but then again that's about it and absolutely everything else it's really hard to live without the pixel to excel it's less expensive than the iPhone 10 project fire has become a need this is seriously the best smartphone camera in the industry and the overall delight of a better implementation of Android is really hard to look away from it's seriously amazing how software can make a less appealing smartphone win a comparison even with all the complaints that Google ended up ironing out over time the pixel to excel has proven to be a great companion one that I would highly recommend is the smarter smartphone overall but one of those cases where he just actually have to go out and give it a try to understand what I mean what about you which one would you pick out of these to chime in the comments and while you're at that follow us on social media and subscribe to our channel for more
