Even before its launch, when the first clear images of the terminal began to arrive, the Google's intention to look like Apple in your product line. However, go now for a pixel y pixel XL, which will cost over 700 euros, is not an easy decision, especially if we take into account the money invested in applications in the App Store. An interesting video recorded by a fanboy It explains what we gain and what we lose with the change.
1.- Unlimited capacity for photos and video
One of the great advantages of the Pixel with respect to the iPhone is that when buying it we will be provided unlimited space, for life, to store photos and videos in full resolution; it does not matter if they are recordings 4K.
2.- Without bloatware, but…
Interesting feature if we come from a Galaxy or Sony o Huawei, for example, but not so much if we do it from an iPhone, since Apple terminals do not have pre-installed applications other than their own. Of course, the updates Pixel XL are insured by 2 years (security for 3) while Apple normally goes to the 4 years.
3.- Google Assistant
The new assistant Google, the cornerstone of the user experience that Mountain View intends to instill with their Pixel, learns fast and it is efficient, even sometimes it manages to surpass the results it offers Crab, with more advanced speech recognition and the power of the native search engine.
4.- Fast recharge
El 7 iPhone Plus is one of the high-end terminals slower when charging its battery and uses a proprietary system such as the lightning cable, so access to other chargers is impossible. The Google Pixel XL, however, provides several hours of use after being alone 15 minutes plugged into the power.
5.- AMOLED screen
In this aspect, it can be seen that the iPhone user is accustomed to the LCD screens And it seems to find major disadvantages in AMOLEDs, which look worse in natural light, for example, or have lower contrast. Still, it highlights the shades in black of the Google Pixel XL
6.- Photo camera and recording without OIS
The optical stabilizer of the iPhone 7 Plus provides improvements when capturing images in environments with low light, which also helps a greater opening. However, the stabilization system of the Pixel XL offers amazing results in 4K videos. Also, the Google terminal is extremely fast focusing.
7.- Design
Despite Google claiming the Pixel as its own smartphone, htc hand it is visible in some design aspects (specifically the positives). However, the bass ratio screen on the front, taking into account that it is space is wasted, and the cheeky resemblance with the iPhone that has been searched in that area. On the contrary, it is the rear showing an impressive finish.
8.- Fingerprint sensor
The position at the rear may not be the best for someone with too long or too short fingers, but the scanner is very fast and efficient and also supports multiple footprints in its configuration.
9.- Speaker placement
The iPhone 7 finally incorporates a pair of speakers positioned effectively to provide good quality stereo sound. In that sense, the Pixel XL has taken a step back compared to the Nexus 6P, although the audio is still powerful.
10.- Resistance
Level water resistance of the Pixel XL is smaller than that of the iPhone 7 Plus. You probably shouldn't submerge either of them and also probably nothing happens to either of you if they get wet, but if one has to resist against the other, it will always be Apple's.
11.- Pseudo 3D Touch
Google has implemented a system of similar qualities to those of the Touch 3D Apple, however, is activated by a longer press and not by pressing. Even so, it does not support so many applications, it is not so integrated into the operation of the system and the haptic response it is non-existent. The apple wins by a landslide.
