iPhone 11 Pro vs Pixel 4 - Google didn't see THIS coming?! By Pocketnow

The last time, I personally compared products made by Apple and Google, it was iPhone 10 versus pixel to excel. At the time, both were my perfect daily driver combo, but neither was perfect. One had the most futuristic design of the year in film great video, while the other had a more data design, but the best camera of the year and was invaluable for me for features like Google 5, which was exclusive to Google phones. Back then this year the story is kind of different. These are two phones competing in the same category, with a very different approach on one corner. We have the iPhone 11 Pro, Apple's latest and greatest what Apple calls pro cameras: Pro, Display, Pro performance on the other.

We have the Google Pixel 4 with a company. Simply dubs asked the Google phone period right now. Both these phones claimed to be the best at something, but there's really only one way to find out I'm, hiding that with Parka now- and this is iPhone 11 Pro versus Google Pixel 4, brought to you by surf shop, Apple and Google have a very interesting way to approach the market where each company considers itself to be a software company first and therefore their designs were mostly forgettable. It was just a showcase of what the software could do, and therefore the hardware would just blend into the background this year. Things are different.

These devices could not be more unapologetic about their designs and their aesthetics, and they could also not be more different when stacking them side-by-side. Their footprint is very similar. The pixel is three millimeters taller and a hair thicker, but then the iPhone is two millimeters wider and a whopping 26 grams, heavier Apple stainless steel is heavier than Google's choice for aluminum. But that's not the only thing that's at play here see. This is actually the first time I ever compared an Android, that's designed to compete with the specific iPhone and thus so with a smaller battery Apple.

Finally, cave then on the thin and light soap Xperia and gave us a 13% larger battery now with 30 46 William hours, while Google has shaved 4% to a Meeker 2800 William hours now, can you tell the difference? I'll tell you this much. Neither of these devices was designed to be the battery king of their lineups. That's what the Excel and the pro Macs are for still I find myself trusting the iPhone more to end the day than the pixel for honestly I, don't know what Google was thinking here with reducing the battery size and, let's throw in the rest of the numbers since we're already here. It's not really worth it to compare RAM or processor, but it's important to note that the iPhone 11 Pro is rocking Apple's latest and greatest chip, while Google is not rocking Qualcomm's. Most advanced processor both started the same amount of storage, not expandable, but the iPhone can be purchased for far more than the 128 gig limitation on the pixel.

Each or ip68 support wireless charging include 18 watt fast chargers in the Box support the latest Bluetooth, even though the iPhone is the only one that supports the latest Wi-Fi, and it's also the only one to include earbuds when you purchase, though neither has a headphone jack and yes, both have loud stereo speakers and there's a story of their displays. Apple calls this. It's super Retina, DR, and I'm just happy that Google finally made this comparison. Fair by bringing a good screen see both our OLED technology displays with apples being a hair larger at five point: eight inches versus five point: seven and with a meager extra pixel density at 4:58 versus 444 PPI Apple also supports more standards like Dolby Vision and HDR 10, but Google is no slouch. We haven't always on display that I find incredibly useful and ninety Hertz refresh rate without sacrificing brightness.

To sum it up, both devices have great displays, but I'm going to have to give this one to Apple, mainly because of their crazy 2 million to 1 contrast ratio versus a hundred thousand. Yes, you can totally tell in the colors in detail, even if again, the pixels display is also great in its own way. This is Apple's third year with face ID on the notch, which is already quite proven to work. Well, the pixel also decided to join with its own facial recognition, assisted by a similar NIR flood emitter, dot, projector to NIR cameras and even a freaking radar, though also well hidden, that you can barely see it through. It's asymmetrical, bezel both feel just as fast and with a little tweaking in the settings you can set the pixel to only show notifications on the lock screen when it detects your face pretty much like the iPhone does.

Sadly, there is a catch, and it's actually a huge one see the iPhone has the option to only work when your eyes are open. The pixel sadly, can work, even with your eyes closed. So beware and finally ask for the rest of the elements of their designs. I have to praise them both I, like matte glass on both devices I like their finishes. Obviously the pan that looks very different to this midnight green, and yet you have the choice of choosing whichever one works best for you.

Overall, what can I say? I mean the pixel 4 came as a close second to absolutely every single one of the Hardware elements, but this is clearly Apple's territory. Now, moving on to software, I don't like to make this a comparison about iOS vs. , Android I'm, not gonna, call either one better, as each of them have their own unique elements that make them great, and still this is one of those territories where the comparison is fair, because the iPhone guarantees software updates on time for years, and the same thing is what you get from the pixel for, in my opinion, iOS 13 is Apple's least inspired, update ever sure you get a dark mode. Finally, and you can now swipe on the keyboard. Finally- and there are some minor improvements with Apple applications, but there's really nothing special about what you're getting it's there for those of you looking for more simplicity, but that's really about it.

I do prefer Google's more modular approach to Android place your icons where you want to place your widgets, where you want to have the Google feed to the left. If you want or switch it off and I, also prefer. The gestures I find that to be more practical to swipe from the sides for back Google's approach to Android. Just feels more useful and practical, and don't even get me started about digital assistants. I'd say the Google Assistant would fire Siri as its own assistant on day, one there's just no room for comparison on how far Google has to come when compared to Siri.

Now one of the things that's rather similar with each of these phones is the overall experience of using them. Well, many manufacturers go above and beyond with features and gimmicks that are cumbersome to use, Apple and Google feel more mature and simplistic. They feel like tools in everyday use that are practical and speedy move around their launcher or launch your favorite game, and each device feels like it can hold its own phone calls are great on both, though even if Google Phi is now supported by an iPhone. You can only get all the features if you're using a pixel I am a huge Google, Phi user, mainly because of its VPN capabilities. But my Phi bill is not cheap.

I do believe that everyone should have a VPN in this day and age and if you're looking for a more affordable solution with some added benefits, you should definitely consider today's sponsor surf shark. It's just $1.99 a month and the benefits begin with allowing unlimited multiple connections at once, which I haven't seen any other VPN service provide a VPN allows you to connect locally to different regions. So you don't have to worry about your favorite Netflix series being blocked in your country. You can even avoid crisis for nation by companies who bump the prices of their plane, tickets or hotels, depending on where you're browsing from and then there's browser security, which is a huge issue everywhere and surf shark, allows you to not just encrypt your connection but to multi-hop and use two different servers for encryption. At the same time, for half the price of a lot say a month, I know of no other VPN service that offers so much I highly recommend you give surf shark a try, follow the link in the description below and enter promo code pocket.

Now you get 83 percent off in a month for free, but let's get straight to the meat of this comparison to determine which phone has the best camera Apple has joined the triple camera wagon, while Google is around four years late to the dual camera section Apple doesn't have to deal with the polarizing opinions between what's secondary camera is better, while Google got a lot of criticism over going telephoto instead of wide. Now, when Google is the fence, when you're using an iPhone to zoom into anything, the detail is noticeably lost. Once you go beyond optical capabilities, while the pixel doesn't even show you 2x in the viewfinder with the area, just inviting you to keep going, and it does deliver better zoom photos through optics and software. This is even more noticeable in low-light. Both devices have their own night mode, but the iPhone completely falls apart.

If you had to zoom on a city skyline, while the pixel holds its own to provide significantly more detail. That said in Apple's the fence, when you're not zooming in notice how the iPhone pulls out the skies with significantly less grain than the pixel Apple's night mode seems to leap over Google's night sight, but not in every scenario. As this night mode is not supported by the wide-angle. As for standard photos, a pixel is a pixel, but boy has Apple worked hard on improving this. There are cases where I noticed better dynamic range from the iPhone, but the cases are rare if anything I'd say that Apple finally, caught up to Google in this department, take the case of portraits, where it's hard to call a winner.

They both do skin tones really well and they both struggle with hair to a certain degree. I prefer the fact that Apple has more modes and options and the fact that it doesn't require you to step back like pixel for does now still. The advantage with the pixel is I can choose to not keep the portrait shot and go for the standard, while Apple is all or nothing as for selfie portraits I'm, going to side with the iPhone see both devices provide an insane amount of detail, but the pixel seems so sharpened at times that I look far older than I am yeah. I know I'm old, but not that much while the iPhone achieves this without overdoing skin tones and yet again and Google's the fence. If it were up to me and low-light selfies and portraits the pixel wins this one because of its nitrite support.

Now, once we jump into video I hate to break it to you, but the iPhone really makes the pixel look bad, starting with the capabilities 4k. It's 60 from the primary shooter versus 4k at 30, and only the iPhone has the ability to change camera modes. While you film sure stabilization is good on both, but there's just something about the iPhones codec. That makes it video look superior and the same goes for selfie video, where the iPhone can go all the way to 4k at 60, with some decent stabilization, while the pixel is still kept at 1080p, even with all of its hardware capabilities. This just feels like an unfair comparison, and it's not because the pixels' processor can't do it.

Google just needs to catch up. To conclude, let's sum up which one owns which the iPhone owns: hardware: the pixel owns software, the iPhone and the pixel went at it when it came to photography and really the only thing that tilted the scale towards the iPhone was videography. And then, when it came to experience, I'd say it's a close tie. The last time. I did this comparison, the pixel to excel won by a long shot, but it seems that Apple has caught up and won over the last two generations.

Obviously, Apple has no excuse. The iPhone 11 Pro is $200 more expensive than pixel, for it should be a better phone for the dramatic price difference regardless if I had to pick one I think this is the first time in a comparison that I side with an iPhone, and it's mainly because of its video capabilities when compared to the other phone. But then again my needs are mine, not yours. If I had to recommend the phone to you, I would definitely recommend the pixel for a more I'd say both are great phones, but then again the pixel is less expensive. Google's approach to software is great.

It's got an insane camera and the overall package just feels as mature as the iPhone. So why pay more, and I think this would be the first time ever that I have a tie-in a comparison where each wins a different category? You get the point I singled out, which phone is veteran? What and you'll decide which one is right for you.
