Been an iphone user for 8 years, then became an andriod user for 5 years now (3 years on pixel). Still lovin my pixel 7 pro. 7 years of updates is one thing, but whether the phone can last that long would be interesting to see how obsolete the hardware by then.
Was an iPhone user for years. I tested other devices a lot but my main phone was always iPhone. Pixel 8 changed that! Returned my 15 pro and couldn't be happier with 8 pro
After owning pixel 8 pro and iphone 15 pro max , i settled with the pixel , so refreshing and for me actually made my iphone seem stale and lacking in new design features.
I left the pixel series after the 2xl for Samsung. Was not a fan of any of the pixel models until the 8pro. Upgraded from my s22 ultra. It's good to be back! The phone is absolutely fantastic.
Making the switch to android after a decade of using iPhones. iPhone loyalty is BS , sick of paying astronomical prices over past few upgrades especially. The brand itself has lost its sheen for me. Was really looking forward to iPhone 15pro and hoping for a spectacular phone at that price. Going for a pixel 8 pro. Fingers crossed . Your video was very helpful.
10:14 "So on the Pixel, they have a lot more control over the control, customisation, and the overall user experience." Google Photos, Google Maps, Google Assistant are all available on iOS. This is not the case vice versa: iPhone apps are exclusive to iOS. Even the Magic Editor, the new Pixel phones' focus in their advertisement, is available on iOS. The upcoming Bard's incorporation into Google Assistant will also be available on iOS. Meanwhile, Google Photos lets iOS users to save their edited images reversibly but the Pixel users can only save them as "copies" by which taking up additional space on both the cloud and the internal device. Chrome, Google's own browser, now allows iOS users to move the search/toggle bar to bottom of the screen, arguing that "We know people prefer different address bar positions depending on the size of their hands and devices, and we took those preferences into account when building this highly requested feature." It is an interesting statement given that the iPhone comes in basically three sizes now: mini, standard, and Plus/Max. Meanwhile, Android phones really do come in all different sizes and shapes, such as the Pixel Fold. It is evident that Google first and foremost designs its product to iOS users, probably to slowly lure them to Android. Meanwhile, Google's own apps ran on Google's own device running Google's own OS are hugely neglected.
Ummm there are some things I'd like to point out here. I had the iPhone 15 Pro Max for two months and had Google maps, Gboard, Google Photos, Google Keep, Google Assistant and probably some other Google stuff that I'm leaving out. Almost none of it works as well on iPhone as it does on a Pixel. On the iPhone GBoard is horrible, Assistant is practically useless, Google Photos is good but not as good. You don't get best take and other Pixel exclusive features. You can save over edited photos on your Android as well as Save a copy... Oh and while using Google Maps on iPhone, I feel the app took me thru the back roads to get from TN to IN just cause I wasn't using an Android 🤷🏽♂️. Well I showed Google. I marched right onto Swappa, sold my phone and bought a Pixel 8 Pro.
Lol someone seems triggered! Google Apps are actually more optimized still on their own devices vs iOS. Some features are not available thru the iOS version of google apps. And I know you sound die for Apple, but mini doesnt exist anymore buddy. Its been 3 years.
I have both. I love the pixel but I'm afraid I'm going back to using apple. I find although apple is very predictable, it's so much more reliable. I have had so many app crashes on the pro 8 and it always comes at such inconvenient times. The keyboard issue was the latest. I want stuff to work and apple seems to do that. Believe me, I so much wanted it to work with android but it hasn't.
Been with Apple for about 2 years. This pixel though looks awesome. Want to switch but all my family has Apple. My biggest worry is the stupid I message. If ppl send me vids and pics do I still lose out on quality? Wonder if ever improved? Wish someone did a video on that as well. Might help convince ppl to switch
You won't lose any video or picture quality to and from the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro. There shouldn't be any reason you'll lose out on quality unless the photo itself is poor quality.
The pixel is a good phone. I would however take into consideration getting the Samsung s23 ultra. It should be cheaper now,and it honestly has better features than the Pixel.
That is completely false, the Pixel has the best true tone photos. Don't believe me, go check out Marques Brownlee (MKBHD) blind test and you will see that it's the opposite.
Pixel is way better in everything. Raw power of iPhone is higher but it's of no practical use to most of us. Pixel is more relevant in date to say experience with ai stuff, screen quality, user experience, etc etc. And also Android is more flexible and cool looking. It doesn't create unnecessary barriers like iOS. iOS is a waste in today's world
the only thing ill say is that the battery comparison was simply not proportional at all, the 15 pro max has essentially a 5000 milli-amp battery as well and gets insane battery life, up to 13 hrs of SOT.....which is considerably better than the pixel
Anyone who buys the pixel will be rushing to upgrade next year or earlier. My experience between the Android and IOS is that you’re not in a rush to upgrade every year with IOS. For whatever reason the IPhone keeps the fresh feeling for longer then any Android phone
Samsung is cool if you are cool with mediocre slow camera, bloatware, duplicated apps, animations hiccups, ugly inconsistent UI, worse haptics, missing AI features, and so on.
Phone buff did an extensive battery test, and iPhone outlasted it by almost 2 hours. MKHB also named battery on iPhone better, and gave it a better camera rating (and by mrwhostheboss). Speed test, the iPhone 15 pro blows the pixel out of the water with its ram usage and speed using apps (also doubled its benchmark test compared to the pixel with a better chip).MKBH also in a recent video admitted the iPhone is his daily driver. I went from a iPhone pro 11 and tried out a pixel 7 pro for a year just to try it out and in my OPINION the iPhone is just better with a better eco system as well. Now have a 15 pro max since last month. When it comes to the case that "sponsored" your video, you didn't even mention that bellroy also makes cases for the iPhone. Most Biased video, and opinionated/non-factual video I've ever seen on a tech channel.
The only company that botched and really scammed their customers was Samsung because z fold 4 and 5 have been returned from many customers due to the hinges getting stuck, battery damage, and the hinges breaking the inner screen perhaps Samsung needs to wake up and build a better hinge for the z fold phones
Big ass difference when it comes to speaker quality. You’re straight up lying saying you can’t tell a difference. The 15 Pro/Pro Max have the most mind blowing good speakers on a phone, ever. I was amazed at how god damn good they sounded compared to my 14 Pro which had amazing speakers already. The speakers aren’t talked about enough, period.
That’s my only thing about the pixels. My grandmother had one and I asked her if I could use her phone to check out the sound quality, and now she has an iPhone and the speakers are much better than that. Then they were on her pixel.T
What apple is thinking about the peak brightness the iphone 15 still stay 2000 nits, whereas apple watch ultra 2 was upgrades to 3000 nits peak brightness, so silly apple didn't upgrades to iphone 15 to 3000 nits😂
What's definitely missing on pixel, and it's a pity, it's the security iphone offers. The phone blocking and tracking when stolen and turned off is great and important. Also the sensors for the face id
Android phones can be tracked and locked remotely as well if stolen. You can even format the phone remotely. Face id sensors are not needed as all Android phones have Face Unlock and fingerprint sensor which is the best combination. Iphone's pill cutout feels outdated and makes the phone look bad, like a 5 years old design
I’m an android fan but I think your video is biased. As example you mentioned the thermometer sensor in pixel and said iPhone doesn’t have any. but you ignored LIDR sensor completely. iPhones suck but pixels are even worse they are laggy. Samsung is and will be the king…
