Pixel speaker sounds clearer
Pixel camera is better by far lol
1:23 it’s called action button not action key🤣
These are essentially software devices. Android is technically superior in navigational use and functionality. Choose accordingly.
You left out the deal breaker, the PRICE!!
Series 16 is prohibited from entering Indonesia because it does not meet TKDN requirements.
iPhone kill it in battery life, processor, video
both are garbage, do not misinform, or pretend to be independent. samsung s series is better than both, and the daddy of all is Huawei
0-60% LOL
I use both Android and iOS.
iPhone is objectively better but Pixel is easier to use on day to day ( Android gestures are unbeatable, Multitasking ) so if you don't care about money, buy a Pixel.
Pixel is overpriced but honestly, living in Europe, i'm tired of Galaxy vs iPhone ( i prefer Galaxy).
Since we can't have a sane concurrence and most people are stuck with prejudice idea, Google really has to get Pixel 10 a great improvement with Tensor G5. Otherwise, it will always be the same boring Galaxy 🆚 iPhone. We don't have Vivo X200 Pro or Ultra version of other chinese flagship.
Tensor is not that bad. If you can pay Netflix, Prime and HBO Max at the same time, you can buy a Pixel 😅.
Should bring 4 or 5 smartphone for versus
Stopped watching as soon as you didn't mention the Pixel's secure face recognition. It is Class 3 so its as secure as Face Unlock on iPhone. You need to do a better job of looking over the features of the devices.
That "but" every year with Pixels and their chipset is a deal breaker for most, as a pixel 9 pro user the power is more than enough for everything I do, but if you're a heavy user any other major flagship is leagues ahead in terms of performance, Google must get at least to Snapdragon levels of performance next year
Bro is genuinely built like a tank, how did I never notice this till now
Video is realistic on the Pixel. The Apple is overly processed.
I really appreciate your efforts! Just a quick off-topic question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
The SOC for the pixel is just an instant deal breaker. they haven't improved since the pixel 6
I pick the pixel 9 pro
I got the pixel 9 pro XL 512GB in hazel color for $800. Try getting the iphone. 16 pro max now at this price. $800 probably only gets you the base iphone 16 with 128gb storage only.
9 Pro XL all day
Compare it without editing, using straight from the camera 😂 as it is really trash even videos.
I am big fan of Google pixel devices.
Pixel all the way, iphone is just for social climber who wants to look rich 😂😂😂
Google pixel Is lowkey a ripoff for what it offers you
Just get both; best of both worlds
Apple is nice.
I'll still remain on Realme, Oppo, Samsung Galaxy..
It's always very nice to see your perfect explanation for the various smartphones.
I never miss one..
Greetings from Venice
Do you guys has any shame left?????
Old times i always bought phone based on gsm web review but i bought stupid xperia 5ii phone over you guys review. imx 577 captured worest video than imx 240. also its main camera dosent have 120fps.
You should make video about why samsung S6 king of all cameraphone ever made also make cleare point about video like 8k but worest quality iphone samsung sony vs (samsung S6)Oppo Xiomi Oneplus high detils subject(not sherp) amazing camera looks good in big scrreen.
5ii Faild to capture cloud so badly
dude is getting buff
Is s25 ultra be better to wait?
They both have pros- AI feels half baked in the iPhone, I’ve been using 18.1 for weeks and it feels underrated. However holding out for long term ChatGPT integration. The photos on the pixel are far superior, just wish their processor held up for video at high res without heating up or rebooting. Once google gets the right CPU/GPU there, it’s gonna be very hard to choose between the 2. I’m just holding out with Apple rn to see where ChatGPT goes, but other than the AI, there’s not a lot holding my loyalty any more – the phones are getting so good nowadays there very little to discern between them
The iPhone is a toy compared to the Pixel!!
Great review, can you do Iphone 16 pro max vs S 24U
Will buy another pixel device if Google removeThat exynos rebranded chipset Tensor . Its not justifiable to buy any pixel device over thousand dollar.
If I love the number 15 and yellow colour, and I will get dedicated Nikon camera to shoot and just want to use phone as pocket computer and also to store high res music, should I get yellow iPhone 15 which is cheaper too and I interested in Apple Intelligence but I think it will be something people slowly don't use it much for recent years, and I can always improve my English the other way and don't rely on its grammar correction and different way to phrase your sentence, or should I get 15 Pro/16/16 Pro?
