Google Pixel 8 Pro vs. iPhone 15 Pro Max Speed Test 

there's something wrong with stock os.. if you use other os in it then it keeps them all in the background

No, android is generally garbage at RAM management.

@@PegasusTenma1It's because android runs each app in it's own virtual machine. Overhead for each app no matter how small

​@@PegasusTenma1Galaxy S23 Ultra and Fold were able to keep all apps open.

​@@PegasusTenma1Someone hasn't used a Samsung or Xiaomi phone before😐😐

That was embarrassing by the Pixel 8 Pro. Google is charging flagship prices for a midrange phone

@@lamar310They’ve got to be lying about 12gb of RAM..🫣

Makes sense why they didn’t talked about any processing or performance improvements on stage, this phone is basically a good photography phone with literally nothing else.

​@lamar310 I was like it's 200$ cheaper than Pro Max until I realized it's also 400$ more expensive than the Nothing Phone 2 and that thing completed the speed test in 2:50 , a whole 38s slower It's honestly embarrassing as the Tensor G3 is barely as powerful as the SD 7 Gen2 meaning it will probably be slower than the 400$ Poco F5 too 😂😅

@@lamar310yeah but the gimmick Ai features 🤣

Really curious to see the S24 Ultra when it releases.

These tests are biased towards storage speed, as that's what makes apps open up fast. Faster storage will pretty much win everytime.

S25 ultra will be interesting if the hype about the snapdragon 8 gen 4 is accurate.

@@RemX405 LOL the excuses continue. How about blaming Google for cutting corners on $1000 phone clown

@@MaxCaud not making excuses, the iPhone clearly has a superior storage solution. It was to address most people talking about processors, whereas the most relevant spec for this test is the storage speed.

It's crazy considering the Nexus has done well historically!

Google needs to sell Pixels without profit if they want more people with Pixels

Yeah it sucks that the Tensor G3 is barely as powerful as the 2yr old 8gen 1 or the current 7 Gen 2

So u think, pixel 8 can compete iphone 15 in performance? 😂

They reduced the frequency for a strange reason at the last minute.. The leaked frequencies where all a quite higher

@@Rocky-pz8px not necessarily be similar to it, but at least not have this much of a gap. I mean he said UFS 3.1 storage is half as fast as UFS 4.0, so if it used UFS 4.0 it could at least do a lot better

the pixel is a pro model not a pro max.

@@Shitor23the pixel is garbage is what you meant

​@@uhhTabbyPixels are garbage but iPhones are even more worse

@@tullo5564 How lol, they smash the pixel in everything

I have pixel 8 pro and iPhone 14 pm. The pixel feels just as fast in everyday life. Speed test such as this one really don't mean a lot.

is it just because of ram management failure? What do you think about ufs 3.1? Does it effect this test dramatically?

@@ayse-umitonder 7 also had UFS 3.1.

@@NomanBeats1111 I've owned every single Pixel ever made. I'm also an Android developer. "Optimize itself" isn't a thing. It doesn't make any amount of sense whatsoever. The only thing being "optimized" is your expectations. Pixel 8 opens apps slower than Pixel 7.

I've had both phones, and I'm sorry man, but for me the 8 Pro is way faster at everything. Every app opens super quick for me and I've had less apps I actually use get reloaded (especially Discord for instance). I guess it's not a universal result.

There might be something wrong then. Ive had the pixel 8 pro since launch and have not seen a single hiccup so far.

I mean processing speed for games and video is always going to be slow but memory management does have the ability to get better over time.

It's not bad. It's a speed comparison between both new phones and doesn't say anything about the longevity of a phone, as things like RAM management can become better with Software Updates.

iphone 6s had 7 years of updates bro💀

@@eulehund99this doesn’t just apply to google, but people aren’t buying the phone for it to get better. They want “better” now. Like if someone releases a phone claiming this feature but with a software update in half a year, that’s annoying af. Samsung, Apple, and google keep doing shit like this.

@@eulehund99it does don’t be a fanboy. Slow processor and slow memory will slow down the phone even more with newer software

Since the updates are for 7 years, just buy them 2 years later and they become budget friendly mid range killers.

@@gkf3305 after the 2 years update the battery and performance will drop drastically. That has happened to every pixel out there, that’s the problem with chips with bad performance.

​@@AlexisPunchthats just not true my friend has a pixel 6 and is still blazing fast

​@@AlexisPunchThat's not entirely true. My pixel 3XL battery dropped after a little more than 1year

@@AlexisPunch i got my pixel 6 pro for 2 years now and have 0 problems with battery and performance.

That's the nature of Android...

​@@ashakur24you haven't seen the few last speed test videos? Other flagships have no issues with it

​@@ashakur24stuck in 2015 apple fanboy

Probably just because it's new and not fully optimised yet

أرحب يااخي

It's crazy how Samsung understands that you need to put a lot of power under the hood to have a flagship android that can keep up (and sometimes beat) the iPhone 15PM...but google seems to always think that android is better optimized than it is

I've iPhone 14 Plus and I'm pretty sure that fast speed won't last longer. Until iPhone 16 comes and  slow down iPhone 15 Pro to preserve battery 😂

@@mirzarizwanbaig9449anything like that gonna happen

​@@mirzarizwanbaig9449you can turn it off 🙄

yea like doug score and his leaderboard

It’s also not a good look when the 8 Pro gets a price increase as well.

I always wondered how we can be sure they are doing the same work in these tests. It's the end user experience to open/close apps quickly and smoothly but if the Android version is doing more work than the iPhone it may not be a good comparison. Example, a smart car might be able to sip fuel and drive 300miles in 5 hrs but when it gets there, it's only carrying a single suitcase whereas a diesel truck towed the entire house behind it. Clearly an exaggeration but same idea. End of the day my pixel 6 has been snappy and smooth even with 95% of the storage full of music and photos.

SD 8 gen 3 seems to be faster than it especially with all the throttling

The G3 is basically a Samsung exynos chip. Google have delayed again creating their own chip

@@herbfst ultimately how u put it still iphone is faster it can do more work meantime pixel catches up plus it can do heavy task like a champ..day to day use doesnt include super heavy task but u will see a lot of stutter after 1,2 years with pixel and in iphone it may take more than 2,3 years with that performance

Even 8 gen 2 is really good

And their ai features are either half-baked or not fully ready.

The AI features aren't even that compelling, and a lot of them aren't even processed on-device. The Pixel 8 & 8 Pro have convinced me that Tensor was a failed experiment.

MediaTek is catching up also with 9300 chipset

Still nobody gonna spend $1400 on this shit 😂😂 rather get a much cheaper iPhone 15 Pro Max instead

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Haha

It’s not interesting😂😂😂 15 pm is gonna step on it😂😂

The only Thing beeing the charging speeds...and with that good battery ITS enough to Charge over night .. Ive used both but come Back to Apple Here and then ... And honestly..i have the least issues with Apple Phones.

I tried both. Very negligible difference only btwn regular iPhone and pro variant. Didn't get a chance to test it side by side with Android

What do you mean? This is plenty of performance loading something 0.5s slower doesn’t matter, if you are not gaming or video editing on phone your are good for few years no problem

That AI thing is cloud based.

@@PavanKumar-ft5hi totally

no one buys it. based on the SD 8 gen 3 announcement, the tensor G3 cloud computing/offloading has already been embarrassed by what the 8Gen3 can do on device(no internet connection)

The really sad part is that most or all of the generative AI features are processed in the cloud. It's not even being done with the G3 to begin with. I could tolerate the lower performance on Pixel 6 and 7, but the performance disparity between Tensor and Snapdragon (let alone Apple) is much more dramatic this year than ever. I just don't think it's justified.

​@@joaofafwhich is trash, what's the point of AI being a selling point if it's subscription based lol, makes no difference for the users, might as well just use the AI stuff on their computer, if Apple's answer to AI is onboard then RIP Google and Samsung

It will be very slow and unusable with slow storage,slow processor

​@@MaxMustermann-vy7urto be fair, UFS 3.x is slower than nvme/UFS 4, but it is not slow.

That will be no issue... If they promise updates to keep everything optimized im sure it will keep working great down the line. Pixel 5 user here with midrange chip and still performs excellent

@@real_andrii yes but still inexcusable that google uses 3.1? On a 1000$ phone!

@@MaxMustermann-vy7ur definitely won't last 7 years

It's gotten worse

Nah, pixel does not even have all the ai features until December and not all are going to be processed on the chip. Maybe in the next 1-5 years, depending on how ai chips are going to improve.

The problem is no one really know how to test it.

I can understand not being the fastest phone but it's embarrassing that the RAM management is trash and battery life is bad too. The Pixel 8 Pro is NOT a real flagship...it's a midrange phone with a flagship price tag. It's also obvious some reviews on RU-vid are fake and were bought by Google to hype up the AI and skip all the performance issues

​@@lamar310most of the youtubers skip it because in day to day use the pixel is totally fine, youre still getting arguably the best camera out there and the ai features that no other phone has.

The operating systems for both phones are Linux based. The CPU chips for both phones are ARM based...so, basically, it's the same overpriced experience every year.

@huanmagno one said this is a real life review. It’s just for reference and it may or may not affect someone’s purchase.

Ya the Pixel got straight crushed. Google did a lot of false bragging on that stage and really over-hyped everything. They should be directly called out. Also "best" camera is subjective. I use portrait and video a lot and the Pixel camera sucks at both.

lol, at least it's smooth 💀

​@@ervis6926lmao. This phone doesn't deserve 900 no matter what. It needs a much better chip

​@@abdulcelilarslan6003Google isn't ready to create its full custom chip we have to wait for it till tensor g5

@@abdulcelilarslan6003 the pixel had the same time when you ignore stuff like video editing, which nobody does, while being 400-500$ cheaper than the iphone, whats ur point ?

yes it most definitely will in certain apps... probably most.. yup

4gb of ram tho lol

@@mathewm3073 and?

Exactly. And its not only that. Low performance = more battery drain = shorter lifespan

You wont do, if you use your phone like normal person

@@Altoseb good job I'm normal 😅 well I hope so. Still loving the device 👍

@@fpvash6433 I have a 6a. £300 well spent.

Or the pixel 3 with it's 4gb of RAM.

These tests are only for reference and not “personal “.

Those few seconds don't matter but it sure shows the longevity of a phone. Even a used iPhone XS gives a decent experience in 2023 - cant say the same for an Android released at the time. Performance headroom matters a lot.

It’s only in Pixel not other Andriod

@@TanveerAhmed-dk3rpthat would make it even more laughable if even google how own android can’t compete with almost double the ram against an iPhone i mean the make Android…💀

@@MaxMustermann-vy7ur That's Google choice because they are not targeting performance centric consumers unlike Samsung and Oneplus where the performance is really high

I think they have to wait till their agreement with Samsung is ends first

@@steve9377 No they will still keep on using tensor. But instead of samsung making it TSMC will. And they are known for producing very high end processors that's why Apple processors are made there.

They are new in the game of chips, about three years in It'll take time to perfect their chips. Just like apple had to perfect their own chips.

@@ChasingStatearen’t they just reprinted exynos chips tho?

I mean they dont sell in many countries so if you dont live in the u.s its probably hard to see them in the wild.

Wouldn’t be surprising if the pixel lost.

oh that's just even worse

And also a better GPU becuse the Tensor G3 you isn't even the latest high end offering for that price range.

Some Android phones even had 16 GBs of RAM a few years ago. My current phone is from 2020, and it has 12 GBs of RAM.

Why would you compare 8Gen3 to Gen2 if it's obviously gonna be faster

*Rekt 😂

justifying yourself wont do any good

It does not even process all ai stuff on the chip, and most of the ai features are supposed to come in December.

even worse they could literally put ai features on older pixels, since most can be done as cloud based ai. They sound like apple to me… tbh

@@ak-2005 I mean the Google Assistant smokes Siri, Pixels might not be faster or better performance wise but they sure are smarter.

​@@superiortoall22 Bionic has very advanced hardware for AI - Neural Engine, Pixel with Tensor inside doesn’t have anything close to that and is forced to use a connection with Google for almost everything AI related.

Prob don't even need to see to know the result. 15 pro max will be better anyway

@@mh0Ang95frfr. not a question of if the iPhone will win, but by how much will the 8p be destroyed ☠️👁️👃👁️

but but CamEra oF thE YeaR

It’s common sense the 15 pm is gonna step on it

I have pixel 8 pro and 15 pro max. 15 pro max is better with 40-45% at battery. In the rest, I love them both.

Probably, but barely.

yup pretty much

Lol
