LG V30 vs Google Pixel 2 XL By Slashdot

Hey, what's going on phone dad's bow HD here, I hope you guys are doing well. Lg has sent BB production, the official LG V 30, so I thought I'd, compare it against the Google Pixel to excel to help. You decide which smartphone is right for you. I do want to thank our friends over at tel o Mobile for sponsoring this video Tells is a wireless service that offers nationwide 4G LTE coverage of via Sprint's CDMA network. What's neat is that they offer some of the lowest prices in the business. In fact, they just unveiled new lower prices.

For example, you can get a plan with unlimited talk and text with one gigabyte of data for 22 bucks that is down from the previous price of $29. If you switch to Tells, you can bring your own device, or you can buy one directly from Tell there's a lot more I can say about Tells butts do know that over 900 customers have left positive reviews of their service visit the link down below in the description to learn more about Stella. So the LAB of 30 and Google Pixel 2 XL are very similar. Smartphones, but they do differ in several key areas. Basically, LG does more in the hardware department, while Google excels more in the software department.

The builds are both very high quality. The V 30 has a predominantly glass built construction that supports wireless charging, while the pixel 2 XL has a predominantly metal build with a soft touch. Drippy coating on the metal that feels kind of like plastic and both have curved glass on the front that makes swiping through menus, are really comfortable. The V 30 does have an IP 68 water and dust resistance rating, while the pixel 2 XL has an ip67 rating. The v30 has a micros card slot for expandable storage and a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack, with a powerful DAC amplifier that will help make music sound incredible via headphones seriously guys a quad DAC is no joke if you're a music listener. Unfortunately, the pixel does not offer these features.

Now both phones do feature the same displays they're, both Oh led-- panels, and we both have some issues. For example, there's a noticeable blue tint when viewing the displays at an angle, though it is a little more noticeable on the pixel to excel. They both also feature similarly thin bezels, but the pixel to Excel definitely has a little thicker bezels. The two exhales display also has Dover colors, but a software fix is reportedly in the works. There's also some reports of burning, even after only several days of usage, something I've actually started to notice.

I can imagine this applies to the LGA 30s display as well. If you really want the best display, you should go for the Samsung Galaxy Note 8. These displays, despite their issues, do still impress with their high contrast, ratios and HD resolutions. I can spend a whole 10 minute, video or longer detailing these software differences, but do note that the V 30 runs Android 7.1 new get out of the box, while the pixel 2 XL runs the latest version of Android, that is, stock, Android, 8.0 Oreo out of the box, and it runs software. That is exactly how Google intends there's no bloatware or skin.

On top of android, like you find with the V 30 Google is also integrated into this phone. In almost every single way possible. You can literally squeeze the phone to activate the Google Assistant, similar to the HTC. U 11, you'll also find Google search bars pretty much everywhere. Some people will love the performance gains of stock Android and the fact that the pixel 2 is guaranteed updates from Google for the next three years.

Others will like, or at least not mine, the skin version of and renew 'get that has a host of LG's specific features like his floating bar that aims to give you access to apps shortcuts via a floating bar that is on your screen. Both phones feature the snapdragon 835 chipsets, with 4 gigabytes of RAM, but the pixel 2 is smoother and snappier than its competitor. Thanks again to the pier version of Android, the V 30 does also one up the pixel to excel in the hardware department. When it comes to the cameras, it features a 16 megapixel main shooter, with an industry-leading eff, 1.6 aperture and 13 megapixels F 1.9 aperture, wide angle sensor, the pixel to excel it just has a 12 megapixel main camera sensor on the rear. These two main cameras can capture some ink results in all different lighting conditions.

Once again, the v31 ups, the pixel to excel in the hardware department with a wider f 1.6 aperture, but the pixel combats that threat with it's a dual pixel technology that gives Google more information to work with, so that they can capture the best possible image. The pixel 2 is able to capture a brighter low-light photos and a better HDR photos. Then the V 30, despite its weaker hardware, it also uses all that information captured from it's a single rear facing camera. To allow you to take portrait photos all via software. It's especially impressive for a front-facing selfies.

The effect when applied correctly looks stunning. The V 30 s, front-facing camera is poor, often resulting in grainy low-quality selfies. The V 30 does, however, have a very impressive wide-angle camera sensor that can capture incredible landscape. Nature photos something that the pixel just cannot do due to hardware limitations. It also has manual photo and video controls with some sweet filters and zoom tricks that is designed for those who just love to create.

So I was able to get through a full day of moderate to heavy usage with each device. The V 30 has a 3300 William hour battery and the pixel to excel. Has a 35 20 William hour battery the pixel to excel. It does give me more reassurance that will make it through a full day on a single charge, thanks to its larger capacity battery and just better optimize. The software I mentioned the LG phone has a quad DAC and headphone jack, while the Google phone does not.

The pixel 2xl does have dual front-facing stereo speakers, however, and they sound excellent, much better than the V 30s bottom facing speaker. Now. If you like hardware more than software you'll, want to side with the LG v 30, it has expandable storage. It has. Wireless charging has a dual rear facing camera sensors and a headphone jack with an incredible quad DAC.

The pixel 2 XL doesn't have those hardware related features, but if you want arguably the best mobile software in the world guaranteed updates straight from Google and some unique hardware, and we're features sprinkled in here and there such as the squeeze feature and the portrait modes. Then you should go with the pixel to excel personally I love the software experience that the pixel offers and have been using it as my daily driver since it arrived at my doorstep. I just can't put this phone down. I can overlook some of these shortcomings in the hardware department, while I know many others won't be able to, especially at eight hundred and fifty dollars off contract. The V 30 is about $50 cheaper, and it has some extra hardware related features to make it pull the trigger.

I will say: I do really like the added stereo speakers and the new added waterproofing rating that the previous pixel did not offer. So that has really ultimately helped me feel more comfortable about my purchase with this smartphone with that said, I hope you guys enjoyed this video. Let me know which device you liked better. In the comments down below, as always, I bow HD from phone calm. Thank you for watching, and I will see you right back here in the next one, see ya.
