iPhone 12 vs Pixel 5 Review and the Winner is ... By landpet

Hey, what's up guys, this is Apple iPhone 12. This is apple's first 5g phone that just came out. This is google's pixel 5. , it's google's first 5g phone, and it also just came out the iPhone 12 starts at 799 dollars in the US. The pixel 5 starts at 699 dollars in the US, but the pixel 5 is 128 gigs and the iPhone 12 is 64 gigs. So if you want to get 128 gig iPhone 12, you have to pay 50 more, which this version is, so it's actually 850 and 700.

So this one obviously cost 150 dollars more. So, let's see if it's worth the price and if it's really, which one do you prefer, so they both have two cameras. This one is a fingerprint magnet granted. If you put in a case, it's not going to be a problem. This is just not a fingerprint magnet at all, because it's this aluminum material.

This is also aluminum, but it's glossy where this is matte. This is the sort of stage color, and this is the black color which, if you look in under the light, it kind of looks like a dark. Blue or a dark blue gray colorist, it looks more black on this side than this, but it's pretty close to dark unless you put it under the light, anyways apple obviously runs iOS and google runs android. So here are the cool things about both of these phones. Apple makes the hardware they also write.

The software google makes the hardware for the pixel. It also writes to software, because android is owned by google. So these get special treatment in a way. Well, there's only one iOS system phone there's, no only apple- makes iOS phones where uh android. You can get on a bunch of different phones, but the cool thing about getting a pixel.

Are you get all those updates first, and you get a bunch of stuff first, so that that's one of the cool things about getting the pixel 5. Now what system do you like? Because these phones, they both have a lot of you know when apps are written, they're, primarily written from both of these, I, I would say 95 or percent of the time or higher. You know they both have the same apps except you know. They're completely different ecosystems, they're similar to each other, but you know they're different. So a few things, that's you know cool about the iPhone it has the face unlock.

So if I know if I open this- and I look at my face boom- it unlocks the pixel 5. They went back to the fingerprint reader, so I have to tap that I don't have to touch anything. If I tap it. It'll actually unlock the phone. The pixel 4 had the face unlock, but the pixel 5 does not, so they went.

You know they went back to this now, but I mean I guess during covet. This might actually be better just because, if you're wearing a mask face ID and face unlock, don't really work where the fingerprint sensor obviously does work. But if you live in a cold climate, and you have a glove on, you know, or you know, obviously that's not going to work either, so you'll, you could, you know tap back into your standard way of the pattern and this one also has the pin. So if you don't do a face, ID it'll just ask you for a pin which it's not even working right now, but if face ID didn't work, it just asks you for a pin. Here are a few things that I much prefer over android that I don't like about iPhone 12, let's say for instance, so I scroll up, and I'm like.

Oh, I want this app and I want to put it right here, and I want you know this app, and I want to put it right here, and I want this app and I want to put it right here, which is awesome because you know I can. I can move it around. I mean it's a grid, so you know you could pick anywhere in the grid. You want to put it, and it lets you do that. Well with the iPhone 12.

I want to put this YouTube app. Sorry I mean I have to hold this. Let me hold the screen. I want to put the YouTube app right here. Nope.

I want to put the YouTube app here nope. Furthermore, I want to put the drive up here, nope, so what it does, let you do is you know you could put it on the other screen. So if it's like, if I want to put settings on the other side, it does let you do that, but it doesn't let you I want to put the settings here. Nope now, if you iPhone users know something that I don't please correct me. I have not googled this for very long, but it's.

It seems obvious that if, if I'm moving these apps around, I should be able to do this without turning on some special option, but if there is some special option, please let me know in the comment sections below okay other than that you know in the past with iPhone. You couldn't, you know, combine apps, but now you can so if you could bunch them up. You can also do that on android you've been able to do that on android for a very, very long time. So, if I want to group these, I just you know highlight that on one, and then I can, you know change the name of that. To whatever I want, so I could, you know whatever I want to call it.

That's you know, and you, if you don't want to call anything, don't call it anything. So you know that's pretty cool uh, you know. Obviously android has had widgets for a very, very long time. You know you just hold the screen, you go to widgets and I don't know. Let's say if I want my digital clock.

I want to put that here, and I want it. You know so they added that for iOS I mean it's been around for a while too on iOS, but it wasn't available in the past for iOS. So if I go to plus, and I'm like okay, I want to put this here, and it's like yeah. You could do that, so you could do that now. You couldn't in the past, and that was one of the reasons why I was avoiding iPhone iOS.

I should say in the past, because you couldn't do these things that you could do on android other than that, if you like the Google ecosystem, you know it really kind of comes down to do. You have you know, are you subscribed with iTunes? Do you have the Apple Music? Do you have Apple TV? Do you have a bunch of macs at home? Do you have an iPad and all are you in the Apple ecosystem? Do you have your no iCloud set up and stuff? Then you know I. This is a good phone. This is a very smooth, very good phone, if you're in the Google ecosystem. Obviously this is going to be better.

You could download a lot of apps on the app store from the app store for Google stuff, so they have a bunch of google apps that you can even get the Google Assistant on iPhone. But you know you, can you know you could put chrome, you could put google photos, Google Drive, google home YouTube music, Google Maps a long time ago. You couldn't even put Google Maps, but now you can, but you can do a lot of google stuff on this. You can again, you can even put the Google Assistant on this, and you can install that, and then you have to go to it, but you know lets you do that now this thing has Siri which works fine. I personally prefer Google Assistant, I think Google Assistant and Alexei are typically a little better than Siri, but Siri is also like okay, but I much prefer Google Assistant, I feel like it does the best recognition, but this is what comes up with series.

So if I say you know what's 5 times 5, the answer is 25. Okay, so that was perfect. So I mean not that that was difficult to do, but it's cool. I like the cool animation, whereas with Google Assistant what's 5 times 5 the answer is 25, okay. So this obviously worked as well, and you know you could turn off stuff if you hook it up to your home.

If you hook up the Google home app, and you set up all your stuff, you can control stuff the same with you. Can you do with the apple as well? So now, let's do a 5g speed test and see which phone has better 5g they're, both on T-Mobile. Now, sometimes these apps get a little weird with the 5g speed test, but let's just actually just try, sometimes they're inconsistent, but it's late at it's late at night now, so it actually should get really fast speeds, and I'm going to run one, and then I'm going to run the other okay, so 88 down, and it's probably going to get something up. Okay, so I mean those are pretty good numbers granted at night. I typically if you get faster, and I have gone faster on this phone.

So let's run this now okay, so this is going a little not a little. It's definitely going faster, so 137 down and 58 up. Let's try. Let's try the iPhone one more time again, they're both on T-Mobile 5g, but the speed tests are not always consistent. Let's test this again, just in case that was a fluke.

Okay, now pixel 5 is even faster. Now, okay, let's go to another. Let's go to let's go to speed test and do it there see the same with this. Okay, see it's much faster. Now there we go.

Let's see this guy in action. That's funny. You've used this much data. It fine doesn't matter, okay, so they're both really fast. You know this did a few ones that was faster than this.

This is now faster than this. This got the highest score, but they're both fast and again speed tests are not always consistent. So you know I don't know if it's trustable or not again, I'm doing a speed test now, and it looks like it's faster now and let's, let's do another one with the iPhone okay, the iPhone passed 200 again so iPhone is getting better results on speed test a cool thing about the 5g iPhone, not the iPhone. The 5g pixel is, if you go to settings, and you go to battery, and you go to battery share- and you turn this on. If you flip the phone over, you can actually charge.

Actually, let me see if you can charge the iPhone. The pixel can actually charge the iPhone. How about that I mean it's charging at a really slow speed, but it is charging so a win for pixel there. It's more designed for this, for it to charge the Pixel Buds, but I guess it works with anything else. Granted it'll probably take forever to charge, but it's cool that you can do that now.

Let's do some camera, because that's one thing that pixel and iPhone have excelled at for a long time and that's one of the major reasons why I keep buying google phones because their cameras are perfect, then their camera software, I should say, is perfect. So, let's take a few pictures during the day and a few pictures at night I'll turn off the lights, and I'll take a few more pictures. It is night right now, so it will be pretty dark other than my monitor screen. So I will put freedom's gun dam seat here, and I will put Kurosawa Chico from bleach here, and I will take a picture and let's see if they have the same shortcut yeah. So if you double-click the power button on the pixel, you can do that.

So, let's take a picture, came out: fine, okay! So let's take a picture with the iPhone. Okay came out: fine! Now, let's do the real test, the night mode picture, so this one has night sight and this one's going to be in the night mode. So let me turn off the lights. Okay, it is completely dark right now I am going to it's really just my monitor that's on and in fact, let's make my monitor even dimmer, but it's literally just my monitors on right now. So if you look on the that is the only light that's coming to this, so you and you could tell when I move the phone.

It's a little laggy, but you know that's to be expected. Okay, so I'm gonna rest, my hands on this table, and I'm going to take a picture, and we're going to see how well it comes out, and it's pretty cool, because I have my watch in the background, and it's glowing. So I'm going to see if that comes out as well. So I took two pictures with the iPhone. Now I'm going to take two pictures with the pixel 5 again very dark.

Let me rest my hands, I'm on night side mode. So let us take a picture okay, so I took both pictures, and I'll put them on the screen, but you know the pixel definitely came out pretty good, very impressive for how dark the room actually is. Honestly, I'm very impressed with these phone cameras the one came out pretty good too. So again they both support 4k at 60 frames per second, I'm going to put it at 30 frames per second, because that's what I'm going to put the video out on, but they both support, 60 frames per second, and it's pretty smooth when I'm moving it. So let me just record this real, quick, and I'll just kind of move it to the freedom gun dam seed to my dusty gr freedom, gun dam seat.

I should really do this thing. I kind of cleaned Murasaki, but just zooming in to get a pretty great level of detail here there we go the pixel now time for the iPhone video, so I'm going to put 4k again supports 4k 60, I'm going to put it on 4k 30. , so recording the video getting close looks like it's, showing a pretty good amount of detail and let's go to Kurosawa Chico. Okay. So now that the video is complete, let's do a sound test.

So I'm going to move these cool dudes here, and we're going to do a sound test with some copyright free music. So I will go to YouTube so, okay, the iPhone 12 sounds a little louder at full volume. Here's one other thing that some of you guys may or may not consider. One thing is the pixel 5. While it does have 5g, which is the latest it for Wi-Fi.

It actually only has wireless ac. So, even though it has the latest for the mobile 5g, but for wireless, it still uses wireless ac, whereas with the iPhone 12, this one is actually capable of Wi-Fi x or Wi-Fi six, which is the latest standard in Wi-Fi again, you know they're both backwards compatible and stuff. So I currently have a wireless ac router. So, even though my device is wire, Wi-Fi ax, I'm only going to get the speeds of wireless ax, but just uh, I should say I'm still going to get the speeds of wireless ac, but just a heads-up in the future. If you plan on upgrading your router and getting a Wi-Fi, ax router just know that the pixel 5 is still using wireless ac.

So that's a win for the iPhone in that department, but other than that I mean they're, both perfect phones. I mean it really just depends on the ecosystem. I'm a little more comfortable with android I've been using android for many years. Furthermore, I kind of like all the customization and I because I'm in the Google ecosystem, I kind of prefer just android just in general, but I'm trying to see if I can get used to the iPhone 12, because it is a nice and a smooth phone, and you know it obviously could do a lot of things and there's a bunch of apps on it. And I don't know, I think it really comes down to ecosystem like what ecosystem you like, and the fact that this is a know: 150 cheaper for the same memory capacity.

That's also a good thing there too, but this kind of wins a little in sound. It definitely wins in the Wi-Fi department, the camera they both look. Fine but I'll get to see the results, and actually you know, go from there, but I don't think you're going to be disappointed with either phone, but they're both very smooth, and they're, both very fast there's, a few similarities between the phone too, though, in terms of so, if you, if you swipe up from the bottom, that's where all the apps come up, and you could close them, close ones that you don't want it's the same thing with the pixel. If you swipe from here all your apps come up where this one, you know it's either here or you can find it here. You can do screen records, and you know you have your shortcuts here.

It's the same thing with the pixel, where you have your shortcuts here, and you can screen record. You can also edit if you want to edit on the pixel 5. You just look, click this little pencil, and then you can add and remove stuff. So if, if I want, I don't know screencast to be part of that, I could just drag and drop it over here, and then it'll be part of that here. So now I have three pages, and it's the same thing with this.

If I go to settings and I go to where is that control center- and I want to add Apple TV, remote or dark mode or whatever, then I added here, and now it shows up. So I could- and I could remove stuff too like if I don't want the camera there, I could remove it and now it's no longer there, so you know you could customize a lot of stuff, it's cool they both you know they both are very capable and they both can do a lot of different things. Yeah uh, as far as they're, both wirelessly chargeable, the has the mac safe, which kind of attaches here. But I did see a few warnings about max safe where they said you know if the phone gets hot it'll stop charging at eighty percent and stuff, but I am personally currently not a fan of wireless charging, and I've read a few places again. This is brand new and what I read was from a few years back, but when you're, when your phone and when your device wirelessly charges it basically because it's not directly charging with like an USB cable or a lightning cable it, it's actually heating up your battery a little more and when you heat up your battery, that's when your battery depletes and kind of loses its life over time.

So and that's why one of the things is if you're watching videos or playing games on your phone and your phone is hot, it's not recommended charging your phone because then it gets super hot and that kind of diminishes your battery's life. So the goal is to try to keep your battery cool when you're charging and that's that's kind of the goal. So when you wirelessly charge it typically charges, it typically heats up your battery a little more. So that's why, for the iPhone, I didn't get the max safe charger. I basically just got regular chargers so just something to keep in mind and even though, like I showed you guys earlier, I could just charge this.

If I enable it in the options- and I could even charge the iPhone from the pixel, as you guys saw- I'm not going to do that because you know wireless charging is fine, it's extremely convenient, and I'm sure it's a lot better now than it was a few years ago. But batteries are batteries, and you know they do get better and stuff, and I'm sure it diminishes less, but I feel like it'll still diminish it a little more than if I just plug in regularly the other one for the pixel, I have to say, as it uses USB. That is a standard across a lot of devices. You know even the iPad Pro uses that the Apple Macbook uses that the iPad Air, the new iPad Air uses that you know: Nintendo Switch GoPro my cameras, so many things use USB and because it's universal serial bus, the iPhone, doesn't use that they still use lightning. I don't know why they don't switch to USB, and again I get it a lot of iPhone users have lightning, and they have the cables, and it's like.

If you switch, they probably have to end up getting new cables anyways, but you could say the same thing. Well, why switch to iPad Pro cable, and why switch iPad, air, cable, and why switch to MacBook cable? Why switch all those cables when people already had the plugs for it right, and it's just like? I think they did the right thing by switching to a standard which is USB, so that's definitely a win for the pixel, because you know they use universal stuff, and you don't have to have as many chargers and stuff. But with that it's a tough decision. It really depends on like. Are you in the Apple ecosystem? Are you in the Google ecosystem? What do you like? Do you want to spend 700 bucks, or do you want to spend 850 bucks for the same memory, storage capacity and with Google Drive if you have Gmail and stuff, even though you could put Google Drive on this, which it's right here, but with Google Drive, if you make a basic email account, you get 15 gigs of storage, whereas with your, which also includes your emails as well, but with the iPhone, you only get five gigs of storage on iCloud? So but technically you could just put Google Drive on this.

You can also put google photos on the iPhone as well so yeah I mean you could take the advantage in both places. Yeah, you guys tell me what you think, which phone is worth it, I'm I'm kind of leaning more towards the pixel 5 as a better deal, and it's a better phone, I'm kind of leaning towards there, but at the same time you know this has its benefits. I don't like the fact that they don't have Wi-Fi ax on this and stuff, and so they both have their pros and cons but price wise, and I guess because I'm in the Google east ecosystem for me. As of now I prefer the Google phone. But let me know what you guys think in the comment sections below I'm going to use the iPhone.

I have an iPhone 12 Pro as well, so I'm going to use this for a while and kind of get used to it and see if I can get used to the iPhone ecosystem. But let me know what you guys think in the comment section below which phone is better, which phone would you pick and is it a good deal, and you know what feature would you like? That's non-existent on either one of these phones? If you guys enjoyed this video, please like and subscribe. Thank you guys for watching and thank you to all my current subscribers.
