@@newfnshow031 I have an iPad mini 6, a MacBook Pro and an iPhone 15for work and I just purchased a Pixel 8 Pro and I think the Pixel 8 Pro is a better phone period.
I made the same decision between the 15 or the 8 and bought the pixel and I'm extremely happy with it. Don't use the camera too much and I have a gaming setup so Mobile gaming isn't for me. The pixel is 120hz, quick and good for everything I do. The display is great and the extra 500 cad in my pocket certainly doesn't hurt
Exactly these tech snobs try really hard to sell you the iPhone, but the average consumer we look for quality of life features that the Pixel offers. The only thing the iPhone offers is promising you not to be the green bubble. The tech nerds forget that not all grown adults still plays video games on their smartphones. You can tell he does by the teen t-shirts he wears.
I always was an android fan and last year I got an iPhone 14 pro, I was disappointed. Many times the screen freezes 😂. Whe you see so many people kissing their apple logo it makes you believe it's great but not. I got a pixel 8 pro and it's excellent.
I got mine for $10 CAD a month. And I get to keep the phone at the end of 2 years. There’s no way you can get me to spend 1200+ CAD for a slightly better phone with some major compatibility issues compared to the Android
I cant watch any "iPhone vs" videos on this page because its just way too bias. Apple charging that amount of $ for 60hz screen is criminal. It does not warrant that price in any way.
@@ARusso1192stealing ideas? You wouldnt be holding a smartphone if it wasnt for Iphone in 2007. Samsung lost the stealing ideas court case anyway as it backfired. Its not about who has the best specs with each new model- many fail to understand this.
Well actually it does in one way: it doesn't clip near black levels and it has no green tinting (tints towards orange, in fact). This means a better video watching experience at night while in bed in a room with all the lights turned off, sun set and blinds closed (ie 0 lux pitch black environment), which is when most people watch movies and stream shows on phones. Because the Pixel 8 uses a 60Hz display, and then overclocks it against the manufacture recommendation, the Pixel 8 clips the first shadow step out of black so the dynamic range on the display is only 254 shades of grey instead of the full 255 on the iPhone15. On top of this, the red subpixels stop working at 02/254. So what shadow detail you have left, it will be blue or green tinted. So dark scenes in movies will be both missing details outright and be lower resolution and discolored. So really the Pixel 8 is actually more like a 253 or 252 steps of grey display, so effectively less than 8-bits of color. This is the price for the affordability of the Pixel 8. That said, Apple does not finance iPhones for low income peope who don't have major carriers. So Apple is an asshole, basically. Unfortunately, the pixel is compromised. On the other hand, Google making a custom display driver for the pixel 8 allowed Google to support the ultra hdr photo format on Android and made it possible for android to mix hdr and sdr content at the same time on screen. Samsung copied Google's software to enable ultra hdr photos om Samsung devices and now instagram and threads both support ultra hdr file formats. So this hardware comprpmise allowed android to develop the software for this feature. So it's good and bad. Apple is just a technically correct product with no compromises. That's why it's expensive, though they do boost the brightness of text in dark modes and that can strain peoples' eyes and even cause near sightnedness from squinting long-term -- which could be considered a draw back for the iPhone (it is in my book). Google doesn't do this, text remains the same brightness of the white point of the brightness slider and is more uniform for all APLs which is good in my book. The pixel is also tinted towards magenta in white balance, which means with the night light mode there is less green when blue is removed and the display is like a pure orange color -- this is good for users to get melatonin at night and sleep better. However, the iphone is sharper and it does have better color accuracy especially when you figure ot actually has all 255 shades of grey. Ironically, the iphone is kind of a fiscally conservative philosophy and the pixel is kind of a fiscally liberal philosophy. Even though owners of the devices are usually opposite to that politically. The employees of Apple are more conservative than the emplpyees of Google though. It's all quite strange. I think the iphone 15 appeals to people who can afford it. And the Pixel 8 at $500 appeals to people who can't afford the iphone, especially with google store 0% interest financing allowing factory unlocked phones. You don't even need to have a major carrier to quality and you can double internal storage for just $50. So, for the lower income folks out there a pixel 8 256gb for $550 financed to $20/month for 36 months 0% interest is the way to go. For people will $900 cash for an iphone, then that is their way. The valid benefits to them are 255 shades of gray, higher pixel density and better color accuracy. Also auto sample rate switching and reduce loud sounds for audio playback. That wasn't touched on, but that is another plus for the iphone. Now the Pixel 8 Pro is available for $749. Which corrects all the display issues, but it's also a lot bigger, heavier and has shorter battery life. And it still doesn't have auto sample rate switching for audio.
I traded in my pixel 7 for $1k credit for iPhone 15 pro on verizon. While I like the iPhone now has usb c, I am itching to swith back to pixel because of the ease of use and how easily I can go back to my previous screen. It seems like a small issue but it makes a difference to me.
$799 with an outdated 60hz panel and lacks AI features or $549 with 120hz Panel with great software. Those extra $250 savings go a long way for most and down to preference and budget.
@@TambePaschal, why would anyone who has kept their phone for 4-6 years (the average) not want the best performance at the time? It is not only for today but for the future, and even if you upgrade earlier, your phone will go to someone else who will love the power of the A17 Pro in 2026. So, this excuse that you do not need it is weak and fanboyism, as the truth is, better is best, and there is no argument against that, just the defensiveness of another brand.
@@St_AngusYoung Lmao horrible logic. Manual controls are something even my 5 year old $200 phone had. Every phone except my Pixel 8 has pro controls. This is just a horrible excuse since they can easily bring it to the regular model. Same with Video boost and other features which are purely achieved through the cloud but Google gives a shitty excuse for the base model. It makes sense that they reserve features for the pro but the pro model is too dumb of an upgrade over the 8.
The pixel passed all drop tests this year. Didn't break on 99% of them. And yet you still talk up ceramic shield yet it always broke. Lost me there. 🤷🏼♂️
I checked out Consumer Reviews, a non-profit test centre and the iPhone 15 passed with a top rating. There is little difference in durability; it's probably just down to pure luck! Over 80% of us are sensible and use a case/screen protector so this point is moot for the vast majority anyway.
Why do people always say that apps work better on ios? I don't have an iphone but I do have an ipad and apps crashing or acting weird is not that rare.
I also don't have an iPhone but have iPad. What they mostly mean is that developers will most likely make and optimise an app for iPhone 1st rather than for Android. It may be due to less variations that they have to work on compared to Android. Also I think some apps are optimised for iPhone, not iPad. It doesn't mean there won't be issues on iOS. But if there are general issues then it may get fixed in iOS first.
It all comes down to the developers, it can be the possibility that the developers rush out an update because google and apple have strict guidelines in terms of updates for updating the apps. Android apps are still supported all the way back android 4.4 kitkat. However, not every app is updated to the newest version of the operating system. When the news came out that google and apple force developers to update there apps for the newest version of the operating system. There were developers that were upset both at google and apple because they did not update the apps because they did not add any new features on the app. Both google and apple will remove the apps that are not updated to the newest version of the operating system and that's why the developers were upset. There are forums regarding the apps that the developers help develope both for android and ios devices and that app developers were being force to update there apps or the risk of there apps being removed from the apple app store and the google play store. I had more issues with updating the apps compared to using the apps that were not updated. The update for apps changes things and even remove features that were on the app once the app is updated. For example, when youtube was updated awhile ago, the annoying play button was on the bottom of the screen and I kept on accidentally pressing on the play now button way too frequently when I was trying to scroll the app or search something on youtube.
The problem is that there’s so many Android phones to the develop for while there’s fewer iPhones to develop for plus the fact that the iPhone is far more popular with more money to be made from the AppStore than the Play Store so it makes sense financially for developers to put more effort into iOS, but it is dependent on having a recent iPhone.
This is the kind of review you get when you have an Apple fanboy review two different phones. I have used both Android and Apple phones. I could not stand iOS. It's confusing and despite what the reviewer said, not as cohesive as you would expect. I now own the Pixel 8 and with holiday discounts and a trade-in, I got the phone for less than half what the iPhone 15 costs. The camera on the Pixel 8 is amazing. And the magic eraser and best take features work really well on the Pixel 8. As far as I know Apple doesn't have those features.
@LouisDuran His conversion into being an Apple fanboy began this year though, and he's lacking credibility.How can he even justify a 60hz display on an $800 phone.
I have only used iPhone until recently. I carry two phones and decided to try an android phone. I tried Galaxy s24 and hated it so I returned it. Then I saw a video that said the pixel is the android iPhone users should try. So I got a pixel 8 and fell in love!! I found myself not wanting to use my iPhone 15 at all! I think the user experience on Pixel 8 is more fun! I love the pixel's haptics.
I did the same thing! Tried the s24 and just didn't feel right. The pixel 8 felt right. It may not be the most powerful or super battery champ, but does everything I need well. Keep enjoying yours!
Way cheaper 120hz brighter display and it can stay on and is bigger and battery last longer and charges faster it takes better pictures and selfies better software and doesn’t have that annoying dynamic island how is the iPhone better
NOTE- I guess , if you update your pixel 8 to the latest december update , the performance of genshin impact improves to 60fps , after the GPU driver kernel update added in the updates , performance is much more stable and improved after that !
that stupid 5 minutes saves you $250, how much did apple pay you for 5 minutes?@@Pocketnow

It seemed to me that the selfie video on the pixel was steadier. In the side by side clip you showed of yourself walking, I could clearly see vibration associated with each step in the iPhone video. However, in the pixel video, it came out smooth with no vibration. Yes, the iPhone captured a little more detail, but I'd sacrifice that little difference to avoid the picture vibration.
This is just nitpicking now, because the iPhone completely blows away the pixel overall, it’s not even a debate here.

@@Adamtendo_player_1 that is your opinion and that is fine. I've stated mine based on what I saw and my preferential experience. That is the premise of this video, both phones are great and the individual preferences are what will guide your selection.
Seriously, if Google is available in my country I would ditch my iPhone GLADLY. They need to expand their market, Google is much more promising than Apple right now.
In my opinion I have to disagree with your choice of winning to me the Pixel is way better, I am not a gamer so I don't care about that I dont take videos so I dont mind I love the customazation of the Pixel, iPhone hasn't changed their apps layout for years and every time I see someone with iPhone they all look the same boring
The difference often comes down to a very subjective, what does the device do for me type of consideration. I went from an iPhone 14 pro max to the Pixel 8 and couldn't be happier. The Apple ecosystem is impressive. It's hardware is solid and often underwhelming in terms of design and its software is probably one of the most overrated things there are in life... Apple has not reinvented the wheel it just does a great job with marketing groupthink that has so many people thinking that Apple is the be all and end all of the tech world... Apple has just as many if not more quirky issues with iOS as any version of Android I've ever used. The Pixel 8 design is sturdy and refreshing in that it isn't your typical boxy slab like many phones out there including iPhones. The software side of things is just too good with the Pixel when you consider all of the features built in via AI. Is it perfect? Certainly not. Do I i have much more freedom to change my UI as i see fit? Absolutely. If Android 14 bugs me i can switch to just about any launcher i want that better suits my needs or aesthetic requirements. Does Apple do photography and video extremely well? Absolutely. You know who else does those things really well? Pixel. At the end of the day when you consider price, value, form and function, Android still gives you more options to carry a device that suits my needs. Apple? They're fine...if you're into retail groupthink. I like to think for myself and Android has always been #1 with a bullet in that department 🙂
Well said. Does Apple have good phones? Yes Are they the best phones? No But the majority of their isheep followers will have you believe that and the truth is Apple doesn't sell phones, they sell a brand. I like that question that you asked as it's the same question I always ask before I buy a phone whereas I feel most people just buy their phones because it's the next 'cool' thing on the block. I have the Pixel 7 and the iPhone SE and both of them fit my needs perfectly.
@@Tolz_Blol Apple sells a brand 🤣🤣🤣🤣 like nobody else doesn’t do the same thing. If they are selling a brand then that brand I would buy again because it has lasted longer than any android phone I bought.
@@terrencebenjamin7241 I ain't here to start a phone war with you, if Apple works for you then good for you. Yes of course every company is selling a brand but their brands thrive or suffer depending on how good their products/services are. Name another brand apart from Apple where their customers blindly follow them even if they are not happy with the product/service. Apple hasn't been innovative since the iPhone 4.
Well apple fan will pick up only apple and just hate android that is all. I was a big iphone user now i would never go close to one. I just got the Pixel 8 Pro after having Xiaomi for 4 years and truly loved it. Xiaomi is for sure one of my fav phone i have had the pass few years it just comes way too expensive to order and pay those crazy border fees they charge you. Got an amazing deal on my pixel 8 pro and i truly am enjoying it.
You are not an apple fan if you had a xiaomi for 4 years that is 2019. So iPhone 11. Would be the last possible iPhone you owned. Liar and a loser. Take care with your budget phone.
There’s no such thing as an unbiased review 🤷🏻♂️. I’m sure you’ve got both phones to prove me as a liar, so how about you put your proof where your mouth is? 😉
@@Pocketnow There were multiple false claims made in the video but I am not going to debunk all of them. That would take too long. Therefore, I am going to focus on the display. The display of the pixel 8 is not only better than the iPhone 15 but also better than the iPhone 15 pro and 15 Pro Max. The Pixel 8 received 154 points on DxOMarks display test. The iPhone 15 received only 145 points, the 15 Pro 149 points, the 15 Pro Max 149. The display tech of the Pixel 8 line is ranked 1st globally. You mentioned that the iPhone has a better color reproduction. Completely false. Pixel 8 scored 163 out of 164 points in color reproduction. The iPhone 15 only 150. I could go on and on. No one should expect an unbiased review from so called Tech RUclipsrs. However, straight up lying because of your bias is terrible! In addition, if you are spreading false claims, do not act childish just because you are getting called out. It's a bad look!
I came from P7 to Ip15. I don't play any games so I guess do not need too powerful of a flagship chipset. I still prefer android user experience. It's so much easier. From 90 hz back to 60 hz I can still feel the difference & lastly..for me personally I preferred photos on P7 than Ip15(took more photos than videos). So overall for me I prefer android. Thinking of selling my Ip15 & to go back to android. Now thinking of P8.
LoL I guess you think a software trick is just as good? it’s using no depth information for it. Completely different things and very poor results from the Pixel. Not worth telling people a phone can do something it sucks at
@@Pocketnow even the depth information is used for artificial blur. yeah its better but dont get that biased. You youtubers justifying a 60hz display is just ... I dont know what to say. I have used 120 hz android phone and 60hz iphone. seriously it really hampers the experience, yeah maybe good for those who never used high refresh rate phone. This iphone could have been a no brainer if it even had 90hz but it does not. You should have ur opinion, but since u re a reviewer I think u should talk facts too.
23 seconds in and you help but show your bias... "...none of it seems to be what most people care about". How are "most people"? Why don't you speak yourself and keep your bias to yourself?
I had the pixels 6pro / 7pro after a long-time Apple user. But I just switched back to ios, just got an iphone 15 Plus. What can i tell you guys ?? In my opinion Pixel is THE ONLY one who can go 1 on 1 with apple. Period. I switched back just because I love ios. If you wanna talk photos, pixel takes better photos. Videos ? Apple clearly wins. Love them both, but i just preffer iphone more, that s it !
It’s definitely better at some things, but the iPhone is also better at some things but overall I won’t say any bad thing about the pixel because it’s my favourite android phone by far but you can’t deny that video is better on the iPhone camera I think in terms of features I prefer the pixel over the iPhone definitely and Siri is Miles behind Google Assistant.
Saying you prefer the "colour accuracy" of the iPhone just reeks of bias. Almost every test done ranks the Pixel 8 series as the most colour accurate displays.
@thesocialintrovert Yes, it's definitely biased.And it's like these majority of tech RUclipsrs have signed a long-term contract with Apple to favour the iPhone in their reviews; and it absolutely kills their credibility in my book.And this Pocketnow channel has increasingly become a gossip and rumour channel, with mostly uninteresting videos posted with increasing regularity.
Like you said, Google apps are working great on both devices and apple apps are not. So if apple doesn't won't to work with android that's fine by me. I'll stop using any apple apps and choose the pixel.
You can look at it another way. You get the benefit of great iOS apps and can use Google apps, the best of both worlds, whereas the Pixel is Android-specific.
Google apps dont work perfectly on iOS. I don't know where you're getting that from. You definitely don't get full features. I was on a flight, thousands of km above ground level, and Google maps showed me where my location is even on AIRPLANE mode. My friend had an iPhone, and Google maps did not show a pin where we are on the map in the course of the flight. I was amazed!!
I have to use an iPhone 15 for work and iOS simply sucks as an user experience. It’s just not intuitive to me. The hardware may be good, although the phones always seem top heavy and unbalanced, but the usability is so archaic. I prefer the Pixel 8 camera for stills, and I hardly take any video. One thing that these tech snobs forget to tell you is that Google continues to improve their cameras while Apple you get the same software camera through out the life of the phone. Jaime is such an Apple fanboy, its actually pretty disgusting.
While I do agree that Iphone 15 has a more powerful processor, better optimization and better video. I have to disagree with some things. 1. Pixel has a better design and display. Apple's design, especially the non-pro models have been somewhat similar ever since the iPhone 11. Also 60Hz refresh rate in 2023, Seriously? I don't even know how you can justify that. 2. Apple's UI has been the same for years now and how come it is a good use of space when the pixel isn't? The notifications on iPhone are still a mess compared to android in general. Widgets are better on the iPhone though ngl.
@@Pocketnow While you prefer the colors and pixel density on iPhone, I prefer the faster refresh rate on the Pixel. So for me, the Pixel 8 is a better display. As for the portrait on even regular pictures, that's my bad. I thought you were talking about post processing potrait blur feature.
@@Pocketnow Actually.... You need to get your facts rights. It's ok to be completely biased towards the iPhone but that is not going to change the fact that the display of the pixel 8 is not only better than the iPhone 15 but also better than the iPhone 15 pro and 15 Pro Max. The Pixel 8 received 154 points on DxOMarks display test. The iPhone 15 received only 145 points, the 15 Pro 149 points, the 15 Pro Max 149. The display tech of the Pixel 8 line is ranked 1st globally. You mentioned that the iPhone has a better color reproduction. Completely false. Pixel 8 scored 163 out of 164 points in color reproduction. The iPhone 15 only 150. I could go on and on. The quality of the two displays is not even comparable. This is the problem with so-called Tech You Toubers. They review based on hunches and bias and not real tests. Doing so they spread half truths and sometimes even completely false facts. You have a responsibility to your followers to be unbiased and well informed. Apparently you are not. Sad
Not everyones a gamer n frame rates on genshen doesnt impact everyones use.....s23 ultra destroyed iphone 14 pro in gaming test but no youtuber said its a bad phone......
The only thing I'd say holding the pixel back is tensor g3 hardware optimization for the chip and the recent December update actually provided a new GPU kernel for better gaming performance and once Google and Developers can hope to push to optimize custom hardware for the pixel then it'll definitely be a good thing to maximize the future of the tensor chips.
I think the idea of having Tensor is pretty smart, but I have a hard time understanding why it’s so behind. MediaTek is ahead, Snapdragon continues to be great. Apple Silicon has owned it for years. Tensor can’t just start at the bottom and remain there, nor should it focus on things people don’t care much about yet.
I think the reason Google Tensor is so fa behind Snapdragon, MediaTek and Apple Silicon is simply because they’re using the vastly inferior Exynos architecture which even Samsung no longer uses at least in the US.
I think for what the Pixel 8 is meant to be, the TG3 is fine and the whole phone as a whole is fine, the only thing holding in back is the price increase, because now at $700, there are several other better options for equal or less price.
@@Pocketnow I don't think people don't care about the things google adds and it's super useful for day to day life usage but it's a smaller percentage of ppl who play heavy games and stuff
I had the 14 pro max with the iPad pro and initially I liked it but the more and more I use them both. I just didn't feel it. So I gave my wife my iPad pro and I bought me a Samsung 9 ultra which I'm extremely happy with and I bought a pixel 8 and I have no complaints or regrets. It's all about what you prefer and will feel good to you. I was at Android person for many years and I figured let me try the apple experience for a year and if I liked it to keep going with it but it just didn't pan out. The great thing is we have options. Get what you like.
At the end every topic iphone is good better in each time, you are not comparing you basically promoting iphone, useless comparison video i have ever seen
At the end of your comment, you provide absolutely no useful insight as to why you disagree, and instead just the subjective assumption that it’s to promote the iPhone. Most useless comment I’ve ever seen. See what I did there 😉🤣.
When you get over 30, and there are far more essential things in life than how your apps are placed on the home screen, you realise that you buy a phone for a few features you need, not a thousand settings you never use. Though I agree that the younger gen Android is more flexible, still the majority of people buy Android for a lower price as polls suggest around 90% would buy an iPhone if they could afford it.
do not judge the processor by benchmarks. The google pixel 8 and 8 Pro are both smooth as any iPhone. I have both, 15 Pro and Pixel 8 Pro. The iPhone does Nothing faster than my pixel. The pixel 8 and 8 Pro are the best Android phones on the market. More people should be buying them both. America can't get past the blue bubbles. The pixel 8 pro is better than my iPhone 15 pro. I reach for the pixel every time over the iPhone. People just can't stop being Apple sheep long enough to try anything else.
Both are great phones (compared in this review), and your bias shows through as the differences between these two are subjective for most unbiased viewers. And subjectivity is what will drive our choice. But to rant about iPhones and Apple shows your hate and prejudice for iPhones and their users and is not a nice look.
It's all super subjective... Just got an iPhone from work this week. SwiftKey isn't close to being as useful on ios, I still can't add apps or widgets on the home screen, as I'd like to and I can't completely back outta apps using gesture navigations. The green bubble is nice though!
If iphone put 120hz refresh rates in their phone it'd be more almost a no brainer. The 60hz just cheapens the whole experience and makes me feel like I'm getting ripped off.
I just bought both from my carrier T-Mobile I had a good deal so I got them both. I've used all the iPhones before, all the androids . Yes pixel phones FANTASTIC with pictures, the pixel 8 is still powerful but it does lack some futures.. If I had to pick which one I'd buy if I didn't have both I'd probably pick the pixel 8, the AI, cameras, reverse wireless charging, faster charging speeds, call screen so many more..
The only deciding factor I had between iphone 15 and pixel 8 is the availability of 5G connectivity in my country. Sadly for some reason pixel phones does not have 5G in my country, no volte, no vowifi, as a lower flagship phone, I think it should have at least these features which are pretty common in midrange phones nowadays, even some budget phones. That’s why I went with the 15 instead…
But it's not about opinion isn't it? There are quite a few points because of which you really think that the iphone is objectively a better phone (camera, screen), but you still got some reason try to make it, as if you were thinking they are equal, and therefore it comes down to opinion and personal preference. I think that's slightly disingenuous. @@Pocketnow
Flip them around but it depends on what you care about most. What? One literally has a better screen. This versus video really aims and points out just in where the iPhone wins. I think the iPhone is a good phone but in so many ways Jaime leans so much in the direction of the iPhone. If you just prefer the iPhone, own it. If people don't notice the 60hz they sure as hell won't notice the Bionic chip. I have a pixel and in every day usage you don't notice at all
@@Pocketnow higher refresh rate, and higher brightness. Ah the car analogy, that doesn't really apply with this. It's not faster but it is stronger and can do more. The point is it's making an excuse for something that shouldn't be in a phone going into 2024. Do you really think people who don't care about high refresh rates care about the bionic chip? Why don't they just include the chip from the iphone 12, still a very powerful chip and would hold up just as well as a 60hz display. It is an inferior technology. Period. If you don't care about it that's fine. There are a lot of things I don't care about either. But if you've got this platform it would be nice to hear objective thoughts alongside subjective ones
@@PocketnowIn your review it sounded as if there was a certain balance of abilities of both screens, coming down to personal preference of the features. Now it seems that you don't think it's your personal preference, but the iphone's screen is objectively clearly better? That point did not come across as intended. I have been using Samsung phones for ages and have the oled screen always set to dynamic mode, boosting the oled colors. I personally prefer it that way, so I was on board, when you initially said it was a personal preference. But now I am not so sure what you really mean? In which regard would the screen on the iphone be objectivley be better for someone who doesn't care about color accuracy?
That 60hz display is such a disappointment. I would be happy to sacrifice one of the lenses or the brightness but get a 120hz display on Iphone. Even Wireless Charging has much less priority comparing to dispaly which is 60hz.
MagSafe is 15W wireless charging. It was only 12W on the 12 mini. The wired fast charging is 27W 9V 3A on the 12, 13, 14, and 15 series. (except the minis, which only support 2A, so 18W).
8:36 So quick minor detail with portrait comparison: When you take a photo in portrait mode on pixel you can change the subject and the blur amount, those features have been there since pixel 3 and about two years ago Pixel phones got a feature drop which lets you make any photo a portrait mode photo. Also portrait light is also on pixel.
@@humphreymadlala4462 You are right, it seems he amped up his fandom for Apple. These same reviewers hated the oversaturated contrasty brighter look on the older Galaxy & praised the natural/neutral look of the iPhone's. But now when iPhones have started copying the older Samsung's look, Suddenly the photos from Pixel are undersaturated, dark, underexposed.
Honestly, I don't agree with you. 120hz is needed in 2023 on the phones one third of the price not on such an expensive iphone port is slow and Pixel is definitely better at some parts of the camera. But that's apple and they will always have biggest fan base.
Why is it “needed” would you say? How is 60hz slow? That said, sure I love and prefer 120hz, but so few apps take advantage of it that it’s kind of pointless to have it at the expense of battery life. The Pixel even has it switched off by default and warns you about the endurance hit. It continues to be kind of a gimmick.
The main benefit to buying a pixel is the ability to install open source custom roms such as Grapheneos which offers actual privacy and security instead of constantly being spied on by google or apple. I don't understand why everyone locks their doors and closes their blinds but never stops to think about the gross 4th amendment violations occurring on the devices that you supposedly own. The government is literally buying YOUR data from private companies with YOUR tax dollars but very few people seem to care.
I don't get it. Yes the iPhone hardware is great but iOS is not. Place the settings for the apps in the apps please and let folks move icons where they want. Also Google services don't work nearly as well on the iPhone as they do on the Pixel. Dynamic island is pretty useless; the action button is inconvenient; editing text is cumbersome and Siri is pretty dumb. This is coming from a guy who owns other Apple products. I just sold my iPhone 15 Pro Max so I could buy the Pixel 8 Pro and I'm so much happier.
I have been a Pixel fan for years, and reliability is my major issue, as most have had issues, and many have stopped working. My Pixel 7 Pro FP sensor has just given up, my Pixel 6 Pro had to be replaced due to dead pixels, and my Pixel 8 Pro is already having issues that I hope are just software (freezing apps, swipe not working, etc). I still have my iPhone 11PM that works flawlessly, and peace of mind from paying extra for quality is undervalued.
I’m about to get a new phone currently have an iPhone 13 but I have the options between the Google pixel eight the Samsung S 23 ultra or plus and the iPhone 15 Pro any suggestions as to which one would be better as I only use my phone for emails text calling And mild gaming
My wife got an iPhone 15 and I really like it. Are Apple displays known for burn in ? Every amoled Android phone I've had came with screen burn issues.
@@ikuturso7570 not true, I have an 11 Pro Max and I’m currently using a 14 Pro Max and I’ve had no burn in with the OLED displays on either, unless you leave display lit up all the time then we’ve come a long way with OLED displays since then.
@@Jo5ue1 Yeah such a pity I used to think that they were true journalists in favor of truthfulness in the tech community but I guess they are only tru to the one who pays more!! In this case Apple!! Too bad for us who look for real reviews and comparisons
@@derdlin12Yes, well said.It's a sad reality that most of the tech reviewers are a bunch of iPhone fanboys, and he even defends the 60hz implementation of the iPhone 15.How biased.They're in it for money, not true journalism.
the thing is pixel comes with android, so most features that you think are lacking are just one click away. Want to change background blur after you've clicked a photo? use inbuilt google photos or any other 1000s of background blur apps dont like the widgets and launcher? 1000s of launchers available, including some which mock the iPhone UI but come with more customization even more widgets packs, mix and match as you like! want dynamic island? you have apps for that! out of the box experience might be better with iPhone, but once you start customizing the phone to your needs, pixel wins.
Who even uses a 60hz device today Even the 7a feels way faster and smoother than the 15 Now yeah the tensor needs more efficiency but ur kidding if u think its not 10 times faster than the 15
he deliberately does not talk about the weaknesses of the iphone or he says it doesn't matter. I would never buy this iphone for that price. the pixel processor is not a powerhouse, but it is perfectly tuned for the pixel. Totally one-sided review that almost looks like a paid one.. and I like apple....
Why are reviewers never mentioning the fact that iOS is extremely bad it's like they just settled with it no complaints at all, when they complain about small things like not being able to adjust the at a glance widget
in north america you particularly like iphones. if your love for iphones are so great then avoid comparisons and keep in your mind that it is the best phones. I have a Pixel and an iPhone and from my long-term experience I conclude that Pixels are better as long as they are constantly evolving. even though you say that technically the tensor chips are behind it is a false story, because google is not an idiot and it knows very well what it is doing without forgetting that they have all the capital to prove it anyone that they are the best of the best. but their project is more revolutionary than anything you've ever known on a smartphone and no one talks about it. I would even say that it is the phone that becomes the most efficient over time without even upgrading to a new model. I have never seen this from a manufacturer. before switching to pixel 8, I had a pixel 6 and an ipone 13. I was really surprised to see that over the years my pixel 6 became more efficient as time went by, it's so impressive, and everything This happens without necessarily waiting for major updates of course. even the native micro applications which manage the gpu, wifi, network, camera, microphone are constantly updated unlike iphones and samsungs where you always have to wait for an annual update to progress
The Pixel 6 got more efficient but started from such a low point that it appears dramatic, whereas is reality, it is just catching up to where it should have been. I have had every Pixel and there are undoubted efficiency improvements, more so for Android 14, but it is nothing special; as for photos, rivals have caught up, and video remains average. Many AI software is US-only, and I am not sure the average user is too concerned with AI ATM. The iPhone was clearly better apart from having 60Hz and that is not a big deal as it means even with a much smaller battery (1000mAh less), it matches the Pixel 8!
This review is extremely biased. That's how I personally feel and I do not trust your judgment. I had the 14 pro Max for a year in. I felt as though the iPhone was extremely outdated. At this point I stopped listening to reviewers and I buy what I like the pixel. Is it for me?
I feel like this is biased review. You were like, "if Apple is better, it's better. If Google is better, Apple is not that far behind...maybe it's still better". You severely highlighted all of Google's shortcomings but defended Apple in theirs. One of the craziest examples is, Google has 120 Hz RR, Apple has 60 (imo this is clearly a win for Google as it is cheaper and better), but somehow you defended Apple by comparing the gaming capabilities. Refresh rate and gaming capabilities are two different factors for comparison. We all know iPhones are better at games, but here Pixel is better at the display. You highlighted all of Google's flaws and didn't highlight any of its features (you just said they are there and iPhones are close or even better).
@najiya958 Yes,he is biased towards the iPhone, but there many others like him among tech reviewers, but the bias began this year, while for other tech reviewers, it's been years.
I’ve just come back to this channel after a couple of years and man pocketnow you are so aggressive in the comments, people are allowed their opinions too!
@AndrewHealey You would have saved your time by staying away even longer, because it's become a biased tech channel, like most tech reviewers on RUclips these days.They lack credibility.
Well, I totally not agree with your assessment. Long Story short, Mobile phones are roughly at the same level, some are better in some respects. A slightly worse chip or a slightly worse video quality , cannot be compared to a bunch of important things that are better with the Google Pixel 8 (altogether better display- always on display, brighter by far, refreshing rate and smooth scrolling, better charging speed, features on the Google pixel phone way better). And like sugar at the end comes a huge difference in price! As for the overall impression of profitability and the like, in my opinion they are not even close to each other, of course in favor of Google.
This is the template review we have been waiting for- iPhone's 4 year old design is better, (Add a case and the iphone really feels uncomfortable with how boxy it feels), benchmark for displays is Genshin Impact(If they close that game down, half the reviewers would lose 30sec in their videos), people who game, get gaming phones or better yet, consoles. A lot of effort goes into the aesthetics and production of the video, with nothing concrete coming out. we just want your opinion on the phones as you have both of them and can provide a regular consumer's view on it.
A part of me wishes you were right. I really want the Pixel to succeed. I don’t think leaving Snapdragon was a smart move, no matter how much they try to hype Tensor. Google has never lost this comparison, but even if Apple is behind in certain things, they’re not in the things Google was ahead before.
@Pocketnow I'm running a SixPro as one of my daily drivers, whilst the i13Pro stays out of sight & out of mind, thanks to Beeper! I keep seeing "Manufacturer Chips" being blamed for a variety of ills; have already vowed NOT to get a replacement Sammie in '24 unless it's a Snapdragon, so might have to be a 23Ultra? But I will shamelessly shelve that for a OnePlus Open cos I haven't gone foldable yet (unless you count a Nokia E90😉). Either way, have a Happy Christmas, and Big Thanks for all you do 😊🎄
@johnnyzarate3037 Some people have said that Apple pays them money, these tech reviewers,in order to boost sales of the iPhone.I've always suspected that to be farfetched, but it may possibly be true. But with the bias towards Apple products from these tech RUclipsrs, including Marques Brownlee, Super Saf,Arun from Mrwhosetheboss,iJustine, and this Apple fanboy from Pocketnow, and others,it seriously kills the credibility of their reviewing of tech products.
With all do respect the prices of these phones are not remotely in the same ballpark. I got the Pixel 8 256 last week for $519. The base 128 iPhone 13 is $600
@@adamton7274So it should be clearly "superior" if you exclude the OS, which to be honest for normal use does not matter tjt much. Personally vastly prefer Android for small "quality of life" things (better keyboards, bluetooth transfer, non-fixed app/widget grid etc.)
Excellent comparison, both cellphones are very good, but I agree, in "real world use", the iPhone is better. I purchased an iPhone 15 Plus and I love it, I am a "long-term" Android guy. The iPhone does "everything, really well, with no "hiccups".
Wow, the second company to sell more phones in the world is the ONLY company that produces the ONLY devices that sport the ONLY other mobile operating system in the market? No way! As for the comparison, both the iPhone and the iPixel are garbage phones that don't really offer consumers anything of value, specially considering the prices they ask for the phones. Oh "Apple is the largest vendor in the US"? Yeah. The US also still uses texting instead of Instant Messaging, has the highest percentage of people who believe in angels and most Americans can't name 10 countries outside the USA. The US market is hardly comprised of conscious consumers, it's more a horde of sheep that eat up whatever marketing BS companies push on them, and Apple is an expert in pushing BS sugar-coated as "innovation".
How can you say the night is better with the iPhone when the lights have massive halos .. you are way too biased towards apple for this comparison.. some stuff, yes is accurate, but lots of it is not even remotely close to accurate.
I use the Pixel along with an iPhone, and it is clear that the Pixel is noisier, so halos are less of an issue than noise that you cannot address in post as much as you can halos.
60 vs 120 refresh day. iPhone is a joke. It comes with 60hz refresh for a phone that's this expensive. I would any day pick pixel. And plus that ugly notch or whatever it is.
Clearly this whole review is biased against Pixel.

I have a pixel... the iPhone is just better,.period
@@newfnshow031 I have an iPad mini 6, a MacBook Pro and an iPhone 15for work and I just purchased a Pixel 8 Pro and I think the Pixel 8 Pro is a better phone period.
Seemed pretty unbiased to me, and I have 3 pixels.
Maybe more biased in preferring and using apple and iPhones, not specifically against Pixel?
I made the same decision between the 15 or the 8 and bought the pixel and I'm extremely happy with it. Don't use the camera too much and I have a gaming setup so Mobile gaming isn't for me. The pixel is 120hz, quick and good for everything I do. The display is great and the extra 500 cad in my pocket certainly doesn't hurt
Exactly these tech snobs try really hard to sell you the iPhone, but the average consumer we look for quality of life features that the Pixel offers. The only thing the iPhone offers is promising you not to be the green bubble. The tech nerds forget that not all grown adults still plays video games on their smartphones. You can tell he does by the teen t-shirts he wears.
I always was an android fan and last year I got an iPhone 14 pro, I was disappointed. Many times the screen freezes 😂. Whe you see so many people kissing their apple logo it makes you believe it's great but not. I got a pixel 8 pro and it's excellent.
@@luciann36ur clearly the exception, YOUR iPhone 14 pro was trash. I mean, i could just buy a heater if it's cold instead of pixel phones😭
I got mine for $10 CAD a month. And I get to keep the phone at the end of 2 years. There’s no way you can get me to spend 1200+ CAD for a slightly better phone with some major compatibility issues compared to the Android
The fact that a 800$ phone doesnt have 120 or more Hz is a blatant marketing scheme to sell more pro models, and a joke.
I cant watch any "iPhone vs" videos on this page because its just way too bias.
Apple charging that amount of $ for 60hz screen is criminal. It does not warrant that price in any way.

@@lazysputnik5141 yes, better at stealing ideas and taking years to put their "twist" on it.
@@ARusso1192 and making it better and more polished.
@@ARusso1192stealing ideas? You wouldnt be holding a smartphone if it wasnt for Iphone in 2007. Samsung lost the stealing ideas court case anyway as it backfired. Its not about who has the best specs with each new model- many fail to understand this.
Well actually it does in one way: it doesn't clip near black levels and it has no green tinting (tints towards orange, in fact). This means a better video watching experience at night while in bed in a room with all the lights turned off, sun set and blinds closed (ie 0 lux pitch black environment), which is when most people watch movies and stream shows on phones.
Because the Pixel 8 uses a 60Hz display, and then overclocks it against the manufacture recommendation, the Pixel 8 clips the first shadow step out of black so the dynamic range on the display is only 254 shades of grey instead of the full 255 on the iPhone15. On top of this, the red subpixels stop working at 02/254. So what shadow detail you have left, it will be blue or green tinted. So dark scenes in movies will be both missing details outright and be lower resolution and discolored. So really the Pixel 8 is actually more like a 253 or 252 steps of grey display, so effectively less than 8-bits of color.
This is the price for the affordability of the Pixel 8. That said, Apple does not finance iPhones for low income peope who don't have major carriers. So Apple is an asshole, basically. Unfortunately, the pixel is compromised. On the other hand, Google making a custom display driver for the pixel 8 allowed Google to support the ultra hdr photo format on Android and made it possible for android to mix hdr and sdr content at the same time on screen. Samsung copied Google's software to enable ultra hdr photos om Samsung devices and now instagram and threads both support ultra hdr file formats. So this hardware comprpmise allowed android to develop the software for this feature. So it's good and bad.
Apple is just a technically correct product with no compromises. That's why it's expensive, though they do boost the brightness of text in dark modes and that can strain peoples' eyes and even cause near sightnedness from squinting long-term -- which could be considered a draw back for the iPhone (it is in my book). Google doesn't do this, text remains the same brightness of the white point of the brightness slider and is more uniform for all APLs which is good in my book. The pixel is also tinted towards magenta in white balance, which means with the night light mode there is less green when blue is removed and the display is like a pure orange color -- this is good for users to get melatonin at night and sleep better. However, the iphone is sharper and it does have better color accuracy especially when you figure ot actually has all 255 shades of grey.
Ironically, the iphone is kind of a fiscally conservative philosophy and the pixel is kind of a fiscally liberal philosophy. Even though owners of the devices are usually opposite to that politically. The employees of Apple are more conservative than the emplpyees of Google though. It's all quite strange. I think the iphone 15 appeals to people who can afford it. And the Pixel 8 at $500 appeals to people who can't afford the iphone, especially with google store 0% interest financing allowing factory unlocked phones. You don't even need to have a major carrier to quality and you can double internal storage for just $50. So, for the lower income folks out there a pixel 8 256gb for $550 financed to $20/month for 36 months 0% interest is the way to go.
For people will $900 cash for an iphone, then that is their way. The valid benefits to them are 255 shades of gray, higher pixel density and better color accuracy. Also auto sample rate switching and reduce loud sounds for audio playback. That wasn't touched on, but that is another plus for the iphone.
Now the Pixel 8 Pro is available for $749. Which corrects all the display issues, but it's also a lot bigger, heavier and has shorter battery life. And it still doesn't have auto sample rate switching for audio.
I traded in my pixel 7 for $1k credit for iPhone 15 pro on verizon. While I like the iPhone now has usb c, I am itching to swith back to pixel because of the ease of use and how easily I can go back to my previous screen. It seems like a small issue but it makes a difference to me.
Google just has some nice quality of life features that it makes it hard to switch. You start to miss these features once you don’t have them.

Why do people always say that apps work better on ios? I don't have an iphone but I do have an ipad and apps crashing or acting weird is not that rare.
I also don't have an iPhone but have iPad. What they mostly mean is that developers will most likely make and optimise an app for iPhone 1st rather than for Android. It may be due to less variations that they have to work on compared to Android. Also I think some apps are optimised for iPhone, not iPad. It doesn't mean there won't be issues on iOS. But if there are general issues then it may get fixed in iOS first.
My wife has the iPhone 15 Pro and I have the P8P and the apps work just the same.
It all comes down to the developers, it can be the possibility that the developers rush out an update because google and apple have strict guidelines in terms of updates for updating the apps. Android apps are still supported all the way back android 4.4 kitkat. However, not every app is updated to the newest version of the operating system. When the news came out that google and apple force developers to update there apps for the newest version of the operating system. There were developers that were upset both at google and apple because they did not update the apps because they did not add any new features on the app. Both google and apple will remove the apps that are not updated to the newest version of the operating system and that's why the developers were upset. There are forums regarding the apps that the developers help develope both for android and ios devices and that app developers were being force to update there apps or the risk of there apps being removed from the apple app store and the google play store. I had more issues with updating the apps compared to using the apps that were not updated. The update for apps changes things and even remove features that were on the app once the app is updated. For example, when youtube was updated awhile ago, the annoying play button was on the bottom of the screen and I kept on accidentally pressing on the play now button way too frequently when I was trying to scroll the app or search something on youtube.
The problem is that there’s so many Android phones to the develop for while there’s fewer iPhones to develop for plus the fact that the iPhone is far more popular with more money to be made from the AppStore than the Play Store so it makes sense financially for developers to put more effort into iOS, but it is dependent on having a recent iPhone.
@@Adamtendo_player_1there a lot countries where android more popular and iPhone is overpriced.
This is the kind of review you get when you have an Apple fanboy review two different phones. I have used both Android and Apple phones. I could not stand iOS. It's confusing and despite what the reviewer said, not as cohesive as you would expect. I now own the Pixel 8 and with holiday discounts and a trade-in, I got the phone for less than half what the iPhone 15 costs. The camera on the Pixel 8 is amazing. And the magic eraser and best take features work really well on the Pixel 8. As far as I know Apple doesn't have those features.
@LouisDuran His conversion into being an Apple fanboy began this year though, and he's lacking credibility.How can he even justify a 60hz display on an $800 phone.
I have only used iPhone until recently. I carry two phones and decided to try an android phone. I tried Galaxy s24 and hated it so I returned it. Then I saw a video that said the pixel is the android iPhone users should try. So I got a pixel 8 and fell in love!! I found myself not wanting to use my iPhone 15 at all! I think the user experience on Pixel 8 is more fun! I love the pixel's haptics.
I did the same thing! Tried the s24 and just didn't feel right. The pixel 8 felt right. It may not be the most powerful or super battery champ, but does everything I need well. Keep enjoying yours!
Way cheaper 120hz brighter display and it can stay on and is bigger and battery last longer and charges faster it takes better pictures and selfies better software and doesn’t have that annoying dynamic island how is the iPhone better
NOTE- I guess , if you update your pixel 8 to the latest december update , the performance of genshin impact improves to 60fps , after the GPU driver kernel update added in the updates , performance is much more stable and improved after that !

Been usijg iPhone since 2018. Yesterday i bought a pixl 8. So far im very happy with it. Best android experience in a very long time
The difference often comes down to a very subjective, what does the device do for me type of consideration. I went from an iPhone 14 pro max to the Pixel 8 and couldn't be happier. The Apple ecosystem is impressive. It's hardware is solid and often underwhelming in terms of design and its software is probably one of the most overrated things there are in life... Apple has not reinvented the wheel it just does a great job with marketing groupthink that has so many people thinking that Apple is the be all and end all of the tech world... Apple has just as many if not more quirky issues with iOS as any version of Android I've ever used. The Pixel 8 design is sturdy and refreshing in that it isn't your typical boxy slab like many phones out there including iPhones. The software side of things is just too good with the Pixel when you consider all of the features built in via AI. Is it perfect? Certainly not. Do I i have much more freedom to change my UI as i see fit? Absolutely. If Android 14 bugs me i can switch to just about any launcher i want that better suits my needs or aesthetic requirements. Does Apple do photography and video extremely well? Absolutely. You know who else does those things really well? Pixel. At the end of the day when you consider price, value, form and function, Android still gives you more options to carry a device that suits my needs. Apple? They're fine...if you're into retail groupthink. I like to think for myself and Android has always been #1 with a bullet in that department 🙂

Are they the best phones? No

@@Pocketnow even the depth information is used for artificial blur. yeah its better but dont get that biased. You youtubers justifying a 60hz display is just ... I dont know what to say. I have used 120 hz android phone and 60hz iphone. seriously it really hampers the experience, yeah maybe good for those who never used high refresh rate phone.
This iphone could have been a no brainer if it even had 90hz but it does not.
You should have ur opinion, but since u re a reviewer I think u should talk facts too.
@@avishek007Well said.I think it's getting harder and harder now to have unbiased tech reviewers right now,all basically rooting for Apple.

@1minuteofgaming Good for you.I have never subscribed to him, and never will.
23 seconds in and you help but show your bias... "...none of it seems to be what most people care about". How are "most people"? Why don't you speak yourself and keep your bias to yourself?
Because what followed were the statistics that prove where people put their money 🤷🏻♂️😉
@TambePaschal It was a predictably biased video eary on, and largely uninteresting.
I had the pixels 6pro / 7pro after a long-time Apple user. But I just switched back to ios, just got an iphone 15 Plus. What can i tell you guys ?? In my opinion Pixel is THE ONLY one who can go 1 on 1 with apple. Period. I switched back just because I love ios. If you wanna talk photos, pixel takes better photos. Videos ? Apple clearly wins.
Love them both, but i just preffer iphone more, that s it !
I think the Pixel 8 is still the better phone.
It’s definitely better at some things, but the iPhone is also better at some things but overall I won’t say any bad thing about the pixel because it’s my favourite android phone by far but you can’t deny that video is better on the iPhone camera I think in terms of features I prefer the pixel over the iPhone definitely and Siri is Miles behind Google Assistant.
We all saw that and know that… but dang these fanboyism reviewers are working overtime trying to convince you otherwise
100%
What about big notch
Saying you prefer the "colour accuracy" of the iPhone just reeks of bias. Almost every test done ranks the Pixel 8 series as the most colour accurate displays.
lol, no comment
Well as long as it’s not Samsung displays then I’m happy especially as a fan of the Pixel.
@thesocialintrovert Yes, it's definitely biased.And it's like these majority of tech RUclipsrs have signed a long-term contract with Apple to favour the iPhone in their reviews; and it absolutely kills their credibility in my book.And this Pocketnow channel has increasingly become a gossip and rumour channel, with mostly uninteresting videos posted with increasing regularity.
You can do all the portrait options on the pixel
Like you said, Google apps are working great on both devices and apple apps are not. So if apple doesn't won't to work with android that's fine by me. I'll stop using any apple apps and choose the pixel.
You can look at it another way. You get the benefit of great iOS apps and can use Google apps, the best of both worlds, whereas the Pixel is Android-specific.
Google apps dont work perfectly on iOS. I don't know where you're getting that from. You definitely don't get full features. I was on a flight, thousands of km above ground level, and Google maps showed me where my location is even on AIRPLANE mode. My friend had an iPhone, and Google maps did not show a pin where we are on the map in the course of the flight. I was amazed!!
I have to use an iPhone 15 for work and iOS simply sucks as an user experience. It’s just not intuitive to me. The hardware may be good, although the phones always seem top heavy and unbalanced, but the usability is so archaic. I prefer the Pixel 8 camera for stills, and I hardly take any video. One thing that these tech snobs forget to tell you is that Google continues to improve their cameras while Apple you get the same software camera through out the life of the phone. Jaime is such an Apple fanboy, its actually pretty disgusting.
While I do agree that Iphone 15 has a more powerful processor, better optimization and better video. I have to disagree with some things.
1. Pixel has a better design and display. Apple's design, especially the non-pro models have been somewhat similar ever since the iPhone 11. Also 60Hz refresh rate in 2023, Seriously? I don't even know how you can justify that.
2. Apple's UI has been the same for years now and how come it is a good use of space when the pixel isn't? The notifications on iPhone are still a mess compared to android in general. Widgets are better on the iPhone though ngl.
Nope
Eh.. no. You clearly need to get your facts right with the display tech particularly
Also, portrait blur on Google photos is a software gimmick. It has no depth information and therefore looks terrible. Please don’t even compare
@@Pocketnow While you prefer the colors and pixel density on iPhone, I prefer the faster refresh rate on the Pixel. So for me, the Pixel 8 is a better display. As for the portrait on even regular pictures, that's my bad. I thought you were talking about post processing potrait blur feature.
@@Pocketnow Actually.... You need to get your facts rights. It's ok to be completely biased towards the iPhone but that is not going to change the fact that the display of the pixel 8 is not only better than the iPhone 15 but also better than the iPhone 15 pro and 15 Pro Max. The Pixel 8 received 154 points on DxOMarks display test. The iPhone 15 received only 145 points, the 15 Pro 149 points, the 15 Pro Max 149. The display tech of the Pixel 8 line is ranked 1st globally. You mentioned that the iPhone has a better color reproduction. Completely false. Pixel 8 scored 163 out of 164 points in color reproduction. The iPhone 15 only 150. I could go on and on. The quality of the two displays is not even comparable. This is the problem with so-called Tech You Toubers. They review based on hunches and bias and not real tests. Doing so they spread half truths and sometimes even completely false facts. You have a responsibility to your followers to be unbiased and well informed. Apparently you are not. Sad
Not everyones a gamer n frame rates on genshen doesnt impact everyones use.....s23 ultra destroyed iphone 14 pro in gaming test but no youtuber said its a bad phone......
lol no it didn’t 🤦🏻♂️🤣🤣
The only thing I'd say holding the pixel back is tensor g3 hardware optimization for the chip and the recent December update actually provided a new GPU kernel for better gaming performance and once Google and Developers can hope to push to optimize custom hardware for the pixel then it'll definitely be a good thing to maximize the future of the tensor chips.
google does have the potential to make a good chip but I'm happy with the sacrifice made towards the chip for software and also some hardware features
I think the idea of having Tensor is pretty smart, but I have a hard time understanding why it’s so behind. MediaTek is ahead, Snapdragon continues to be great. Apple Silicon has owned it for years. Tensor can’t just start at the bottom and remain there, nor should it focus on things people don’t care much about yet.
I think the reason Google Tensor is so fa behind Snapdragon, MediaTek and Apple Silicon is simply because they’re using the vastly inferior Exynos architecture which even Samsung no longer uses at least in the US.
I think for what the Pixel 8 is meant to be, the TG3 is fine and the whole phone as a whole is fine, the only thing holding in back is the price increase, because now at $700, there are several other better options for equal or less price.
@@Pocketnow I don't think people don't care about the things google adds and it's super useful for day to day life usage but it's a smaller percentage of ppl who play heavy games and stuff
I had the 14 pro max with the iPad pro and initially I liked it but the more and more I use them both. I just didn't feel it. So I gave my wife my iPad pro and I bought me a Samsung 9 ultra which I'm extremely happy with and I bought a pixel 8 and I have no complaints or regrets. It's all about what you prefer and will feel good to you. I was at Android person for many years and I figured let me try the apple experience for a year and if I liked it to keep going with it but it just didn't pan out. The great thing is we have options. Get what you like.
I own an iPhone 15 and a pixel pro 8, the pixel pro 8 is the better phone
At the end every topic iphone is good better in each time, you are not comparing you basically promoting iphone, useless comparison video i have ever seen
At the end of your comment, you provide absolutely no useful insight as to why you disagree, and instead just the subjective assumption that it’s to promote the iPhone. Most useless comment I’ve ever seen. See what I did there 😉🤣.
@@Pocketnow Then show some good side of pixel too
Android will always be better for normal people cause it lets you do so much more than iphone
Not everyone cares about that though.
Most normal people don't care about any of those things
When you get over 30, and there are far more essential things in life than how your apps are placed on the home screen, you realise that you buy a phone for a few features you need, not a thousand settings you never use. Though I agree that the younger gen Android is more flexible, still the majority of people buy Android for a lower price as polls suggest around 90% would buy an iPhone if they could afford it.
do not judge the processor by benchmarks. The google pixel 8 and 8 Pro are both smooth as any iPhone. I have both, 15 Pro and Pixel 8 Pro. The iPhone does Nothing faster than my pixel.
The pixel 8 and 8 Pro are the best Android phones on the market. More people should be buying them both. America can't get past the blue bubbles. The pixel 8 pro is better than my iPhone 15 pro. I reach for the pixel every time over the iPhone. People just can't stop being Apple sheep long enough to try anything else.
Neither of those are the phones in this comparison 😂. Pixel 8 has less Ram. IPhone 15 is last year's chip. Get your facts right 😉
Both are great phones (compared in this review), and your bias shows through as the differences between these two are subjective for most unbiased viewers. And subjectivity is what will drive our choice. But to rant about iPhones and Apple shows your hate and prejudice for iPhones and their users and is not a nice look.
It's all super subjective...
Just got an iPhone from work this week. SwiftKey isn't close to being as useful on ios, I still can't add apps or widgets on the home screen, as I'd like to and I can't completely back outta apps using gesture navigations.
The green bubble is nice though!
All reviews are subjective 😉
It’s all subjective so everyone has a bias.
It's mostly biased towards the iPhone, with these tech reviewers these days, and they will hide behind the excuse of saying it's an opinion.Stupid.
I guess Android is not for you mate,fare enough keep using the same phone with a different number for the last 15 years 🤣
If iphone put 120hz refresh rates in their phone it'd be more almost a no brainer. The 60hz just cheapens the whole experience and makes me feel like I'm getting ripped off.
But we are
I just bought both from my carrier T-Mobile I had a good deal so I got them both.
I've used all the iPhones before, all the androids .
Yes pixel phones FANTASTIC with pictures, the pixel 8 is still powerful but it does lack some futures..
If I had to pick which one I'd buy if I didn't have both I'd probably pick the pixel 8, the AI, cameras, reverse wireless charging, faster charging speeds, call screen so many more..
The only deciding factor I had between iphone 15 and pixel 8 is the availability of 5G connectivity in my country. Sadly for some reason pixel phones does not have 5G in my country, no volte, no vowifi, as a lower flagship phone, I think it should have at least these features which are pretty common in midrange phones nowadays, even some budget phones. That’s why I went with the 15 instead…
Why does your pixel 8 look so hazy milky? Did you not while the lens in the first few pics?
U shud def have a word with marques who has given pixel 8 phone of the year
Everyone is entitled to their opinion 🤷🏻♂️
@@PocketnowGot it. This review is largely based on your opinion.
@@josephaquino3095Exactly, it's all biased; and they hide the stupid excuse of opinion.
But it's not about opinion isn't it? There are quite a few points because of which you really think that the iphone is objectively a better phone (camera, screen), but you still got some reason try to make it, as if you were thinking they are equal, and therefore it comes down to opinion and personal preference. I think that's slightly disingenuous. @@Pocketnow
Flip them around but it depends on what you care about most. What? One literally has a better screen. This versus video really aims and points out just in where the iPhone wins. I think the iPhone is a good phone but in so many ways Jaime leans so much in the direction of the iPhone. If you just prefer the iPhone, own it. If people don't notice the 60hz they sure as hell won't notice the Bionic chip. I have a pixel and in every day usage you don't notice at all
More refresh rate doesn’t mean better. Just because an F150 truck has a 5.8L engine, it doesn’t mean it’s faster or better than a 1.5L Accord.
@@Pocketnow higher refresh rate, and higher brightness. Ah the car analogy, that doesn't really apply with this. It's not faster but it is stronger and can do more. The point is it's making an excuse for something that shouldn't be in a phone going into 2024. Do you really think people who don't care about high refresh rates care about the bionic chip? Why don't they just include the chip from the iphone 12, still a very powerful chip and would hold up just as well as a 60hz display. It is an inferior technology. Period. If you don't care about it that's fine. There are a lot of things I don't care about either. But if you've got this platform it would be nice to hear objective thoughts alongside subjective ones
@@PocketnowIn your review it sounded as if there was a certain balance of abilities of both screens, coming down to personal preference of the features. Now it seems that you don't think it's your personal preference, but the iphone's screen is objectively clearly better? That point did not come across as intended.
I have been using Samsung phones for ages and have the oled screen always set to dynamic mode, boosting the oled colors. I personally prefer it that way, so I was on board, when you initially said it was a personal preference. But now I am not so sure what you really mean? In which regard would the screen on the iphone be objectivley be better for someone who doesn't care about color accuracy?
Id like to know what phone you personally prefer (including Samsung and or others not in this video) and would consider to be your main.
My two personal phones are a Galaxy Z Fold 5 and an iPhone 15 Pro Max. One is my phone for everything, the other my B camera and social media tool.
Pixel doesn't push its products on a global scale. This fixation with the US market is denying it easy revenue.
Comment section is like , pixel fanboys wants justice for pixel in this video. 😂 the tech reviewer really hurt lagdroids sentiments
pix 8 pro was $399 and now the pix 8 is $350 at Spectrum.... with no conditions
That 60hz display is such a disappointment. I would be happy to sacrifice one of the lenses or the brightness but get a 120hz display on Iphone. Even Wireless Charging has much less priority comparing to dispaly which is 60hz.
MagSafe is 15W wireless charging. It was only 12W on the 12 mini. The wired fast charging is 27W 9V 3A on the 12, 13, 14, and 15 series. (except the minis, which only support 2A, so 18W).
I have just sold my iphone 14 pro to get the pixel 8 with specs the pixel competes with the pros its miles better than the basic iphones
8:36 So quick minor detail with portrait comparison: When you take a photo in portrait mode on pixel you can change the subject and the blur amount, those features have been there since pixel 3 and about two years ago Pixel phones got a feature drop which lets you make any photo a portrait mode photo. Also portrait light is also on pixel.
I don't see it on my pixel 7, are you sure?
I think out of these both best one is SAMSUNG GALAXY S23.
Out of these two (iphone & Pixel) Samsung is the best 😅😅😅😂😂😂. More like out of pizza and rice I like coffee 😂
😂
😂
Worst take ever
I returned mine due to the horrible camera, worse then the s22 somehow.
You mean an apple fanboy channel made an Apple device look better?
@Jo5ue1 The change began this year though, regarding him being a biased Apple fanboy, and seriously lacking credibility in the process.
@@humphreymadlala4462 You are right, it seems he amped up his fandom for Apple. These same reviewers hated the oversaturated contrasty brighter look on the older Galaxy & praised the natural/neutral look of the iPhone's. But now when iPhones have started copying the older Samsung's look, Suddenly the photos from Pixel are undersaturated, dark, underexposed.
Honestly, I don't agree with you. 120hz is needed in 2023 on the phones one third of the price not on such an expensive iphone port is slow and Pixel is definitely better at some parts of the camera. But that's apple and they will always have biggest fan base.
Why is it “needed” would you say? How is 60hz slow? That said, sure I love and prefer 120hz, but so few apps take advantage of it that it’s kind of pointless to have it at the expense of battery life. The Pixel even has it switched off by default and warns you about the endurance hit. It continues to be kind of a gimmick.
@@Pocketnow i don't now my poco x3 had it i cant use phone that doesn't have at least 90. Paying 800 bucks and not having it is stupid.
The main benefit to buying a pixel is the ability to install open source custom roms such as Grapheneos which offers actual privacy and security instead of constantly being spied on by google or apple. I don't understand why everyone locks their doors and closes their blinds but never stops to think about the gross 4th amendment violations occurring on the devices that you supposedly own. The government is literally buying YOUR data from private companies with YOUR tax dollars but very few people seem to care.
I don't get it. Yes the iPhone hardware is great but iOS is not. Place the settings for the apps in the apps please and let folks move icons where they want. Also Google services don't work nearly as well on the iPhone as they do on the Pixel. Dynamic island is pretty useless; the action button is inconvenient; editing text is cumbersome and Siri is pretty dumb. This is coming from a guy who owns other Apple products. I just sold my iPhone 15 Pro Max so I could buy the Pixel 8 Pro and I'm so much happier.
I have been a Pixel fan for years, and reliability is my major issue, as most have had issues, and many have stopped working. My Pixel 7 Pro FP sensor has just given up, my Pixel 6 Pro had to be replaced due to dead pixels, and my Pixel 8 Pro is already having issues that I hope are just software (freezing apps, swipe not working, etc). I still have my iPhone 11PM that works flawlessly, and peace of mind from paying extra for quality is undervalued.
not a comparison video more of Iphone promotional video. 😂
@jaimepaulgodineez2752 Yeah, that's true.He was basically exalting the iPhone, while finding faults with the Pixel 8.A clearly biased video.
I’m about to get a new phone currently have an iPhone 13 but I have the options between the Google pixel eight the Samsung S 23 ultra or plus and the iPhone 15 Pro any suggestions as to which one would be better as I only use my phone for emails text calling And mild gaming

How does a flagship phone have 60hz refresh rate in 2023??
the thing is pixel comes with android, so most features that you think are lacking are just one click away.
Want to change background blur after you've clicked a photo? use inbuilt google photos or any other 1000s of background blur apps
dont like the widgets and launcher? 1000s of launchers available, including some which mock the iPhone UI but come with more customization
even more widgets packs, mix and match as you like!
want dynamic island? you have apps for that!
out of the box experience might be better with iPhone, but once you start customizing the phone to your needs, pixel wins.
Who even uses a 60hz device today
Even the 7a feels way faster and smoother than the 15
Now yeah the tensor needs more efficiency but ur kidding if u think its not 10 times faster than the 15

Totally one-sided review that almost looks like a paid one.. and I like apple....
Oh! man, nowadays even the apple fanboys are not this biased.
The display on iphone 15 is better than Pixel 8?
Dude are you kidding?
Why are reviewers never mentioning the fact that iOS is extremely bad it's like they just settled with it no complaints at all, when they complain about small things like not being able to adjust the at a glance widget
in north america you particularly like iphones. if your love for iphones are so great then avoid comparisons and keep in your mind that it is the best phones. I have a Pixel and an iPhone and from my long-term experience I conclude that Pixels are better as long as they are constantly evolving. even though you say that technically the tensor chips are behind it is a false story, because google is not an idiot and it knows very well what it is doing without forgetting that they have all the capital to prove it anyone that they are the best of the best. but their project is more revolutionary than anything you've ever known on a smartphone and no one talks about it. I would even say that it is the phone that becomes the most efficient over time without even upgrading to a new model. I have never seen this from a manufacturer. before switching to pixel 8, I had a pixel 6 and an ipone 13. I was really surprised to see that over the years my pixel 6 became more efficient as time went by, it's so impressive, and everything This happens without necessarily waiting for major updates of course. even the native micro applications which manage the gpu, wifi, network, camera, microphone are constantly updated unlike iphones and samsungs where you always have to wait for an annual update to progress
The Pixel 6 got more efficient but started from such a low point that it appears dramatic, whereas is reality, it is just catching up to where it should have been. I have had every Pixel and there are undoubted efficiency improvements, more so for Android 14, but it is nothing special; as for photos, rivals have caught up, and video remains average. Many AI software is US-only, and I am not sure the average user is too concerned with AI ATM. The iPhone was clearly better apart from having 60Hz and that is not a big deal as it means even with a much smaller battery (1000mAh less), it matches the Pixel 8!
This review is extremely biased. That's how I personally feel and I do not trust your judgment. I had the 14 pro Max for a year in. I felt as though the iPhone was extremely outdated. At this point I stopped listening to reviewers and I buy what I like the pixel. Is it for me?
I feel like this is biased review. You were like, "if Apple is better, it's better. If Google is better, Apple is not that far behind...maybe it's still better". You severely highlighted all of Google's shortcomings but defended Apple in theirs. One of the craziest examples is, Google has 120 Hz RR, Apple has 60 (imo this is clearly a win for Google as it is cheaper and better), but somehow you defended Apple by comparing the gaming capabilities. Refresh rate and gaming capabilities are two different factors for comparison. We all know iPhones are better at games, but here Pixel is better at the display. You highlighted all of Google's flaws and didn't highlight any of its features (you just said they are there and iPhones are close or even better).
The audio voiceover sounds off,

Right. That’s the point 😉.
@AndrewHealey You would have saved your time by staying away even longer, because it's become a biased tech channel, like most tech reviewers on RUclips these days.They lack credibility.
Well, I totally not agree with your assessment. Long Story short, Mobile phones are roughly at the same level, some are better in some respects. A slightly worse chip or a slightly worse video quality , cannot be compared to a bunch of important things that are better with the Google Pixel 8 (altogether better display- always on display, brighter by far, refreshing rate and smooth scrolling, better charging speed, features on the Google pixel phone way better). And like sugar at the end comes a huge difference in price! As for the overall impression of profitability and the like, in my opinion they are not even close to each other, of course in favor of Google.
This is the template review we have been waiting for- iPhone's 4 year old design is better, (Add a case and the iphone really feels uncomfortable with how boxy it feels), benchmark for displays is Genshin Impact(If they close that game down, half the reviewers would lose 30sec in their videos), people who game, get gaming phones or better yet, consoles. A lot of effort goes into the aesthetics and production of the video, with nothing concrete coming out. we just want your opinion on the phones as you have both of them and can provide a regular consumer's view on it.
At a glance is what I could buy a pixel phone for
Ikr! It's like the dynamic island in a sense, but much less intrusive and informative.
Do you live in Torrance? lol I think I recognize that street.
The good thing about YT tech reviewers is that they always use the word "Personally".
I'm a great fan, but not when you spout this sort of nonsense 😡
A part of me wishes you were right. I really want the Pixel to succeed. I don’t think leaving Snapdragon was a smart move, no matter how much they try to hype Tensor. Google has never lost this comparison, but even if Apple is behind in certain things, they’re not in the things Google was ahead before.
@Pocketnow I'm running a SixPro as one of my daily drivers, whilst the i13Pro stays out of sight & out of mind, thanks to Beeper! I keep seeing "Manufacturer Chips" being blamed for a variety of ills; have already vowed NOT to get a replacement Sammie in '24 unless it's a Snapdragon, so might have to be a 23Ultra? But I will shamelessly shelve that for a OnePlus Open cos I haven't gone foldable yet (unless you count a Nokia E90😉). Either way, have a Happy Christmas, and Big Thanks for all you do 😊🎄
Why every tech reviewers and influencers like this one are selling their souls to Apple is a mystery to me.
@johnnyzarate3037 Some people have said that Apple pays them money, these tech reviewers,in order to boost sales of the iPhone.I've always suspected that to be farfetched, but it may possibly be true.
But with the bias towards Apple products from these tech RUclipsrs, including Marques Brownlee, Super Saf,Arun from Mrwhosetheboss,iJustine, and this Apple fanboy from Pocketnow, and others,it seriously kills the credibility of their reviewing of tech products.
With all do respect the prices of these phones are not remotely in the same ballpark. I got the Pixel 8 256 last week for $519. The base 128 iPhone 13 is $600
I do agree the iPhone is superior but on average will be $250-300 more
@@adamton7274So it should be clearly "superior" if you exclude the OS, which to be honest for normal use does not matter tjt much. Personally vastly prefer Android for small "quality of life" things (better keyboards, bluetooth transfer, non-fixed app/widget grid etc.)
Excellent comparison, both cellphones are very good, but I agree, in "real world use", the iPhone is better. I purchased an iPhone 15 Plus and I love it, I am a "long-term" Android guy. The iPhone does "everything, really well, with no "hiccups".
My iphone has far more weird issues pop up than my pixel. I cant be the only one..
Pixels are better than iPhone atleast in still photography
Pixel 8 has 10.5mp not 12 Selfie camera and fixed autofocus.
Crap, you’re right. Good call. Actually all the specs on the selfie camera are wrong. Good catch bud. Appreciate it.
Wow, the second company to sell more phones in the world is the ONLY company that produces the ONLY devices that sport the ONLY other mobile operating system in the market? No way!
As for the comparison, both the iPhone and the iPixel are garbage phones that don't really offer consumers anything of value, specially considering the prices they ask for the phones.
Oh "Apple is the largest vendor in the US"? Yeah. The US also still uses texting instead of Instant Messaging, has the highest percentage of people who believe in angels and most Americans can't name 10 countries outside the USA. The US market is hardly comprised of conscious consumers, it's more a horde of sheep that eat up whatever marketing BS companies push on them, and Apple is an expert in pushing BS sugar-coated as "innovation".
How can you say the night is better with the iPhone when the lights have massive halos .. you are way too biased towards apple for this comparison.. some stuff, yes is accurate, but lots of it is not even remotely close to accurate.
I use the Pixel along with an iPhone, and it is clear that the Pixel is noisier, so halos are less of an issue than noise that you cannot address in post as much as you can halos.
You're simple against pixel ser.
60 vs 120 refresh day. iPhone is a joke. It comes with 60hz refresh for a phone that's this expensive. I would any day pick pixel. And plus that ugly notch or whatever it is.
Well said 👍
