Phone X vs Google Pixel 2! #Helpful Post

hey guys this is Austin today is the

launch of the iPhone 10 which could be

the most hyped phone of the year well

unless you count this of course I

recently did a video on the pixel 2 and

I came away with it thinking that it is

one of my favorite phones I've ever

tried but how does it stack up to the

iPhone 10 so if we pop this guy open we

see designed by Apple in California who

cares about that what I care about is

the iPhone 10 Wow it actually it's a

little bit thicker than I thought it's

probably about the same as something

like the 8 but interesting the black

looks really nice so that along with the

metal band that's sort of this dark

chrome this is a good looking phone but

before we get too far into it let's see

what else we gets surprise surprise

inside the box is the standard power

adapter even though you know the cyclone

supports not only wireless charging but

also fast charging but you know this

works we also get a pair of lightning

ear pods as well as the Lightning two

three and a half millimeter adapter same

as pretty much all the iPhone 7s eights

that kind of thing and there is a

lightning to USB cable so with the

iPhone 10 powered up the first thing I

notice is the knotch

now to be fair the bezels around the

rest of the phone are really tiny

probably smaller than pretty much

anything besides maybe something I think

Alex yes 8 but the knotch

it's noticeable although I don't think

it's gonna be that big of a deal just

using it for three seconds of almost

forgot it's there put the iPhone

side-by-side with a pixel two and the

pixel 2 XL you'll see it's actually

fairly similar to the size of the

standard pixel now that is even

including the fact that this has a five

point eight inch display which is nearly

as big as the six inch display on the XL

- all this being said I actually prefer

these standard size of the pixel - for

reasons that I'll get into in a minute

but it is hard to argue with just how

nice of a piece of hardware the iPhone

10 is my only slight issue with the

hardware is the camera homp it's a lot

larger than I would expect maybe for the

pixel XL - does have a little bit of a

camera hump but compared to the iPhone

10 which just kind of rattles around

it's a lot bigger on the other hand the

iPhone 10 does support wireless charging

or the aluminum back pixel - does not

both phones are ip67 rated which means

that in theory they should survive under

one meter of water for 30 minutes

however if you watched my iPhone 7 plus

video last year it died in about 7

seconds of being in a bowl of water so

here goes nothing all right

iPhone 10 is in now let's get the pixel

in okay well water's going over the

table what the screens are on I'm going

to leave them in for one minute because

I don't want to break my phone's hey I'm

just being honest right so coming

everywhere it looks like both phones are

fine ah sweet I don't have to spend a

bunch of money inside the iPhone 10 is

the Apple a 11 Bionic chip which has

three high power cores and three low

power cores three gigabytes of RAM and

either 64 or 256 gigs of storage on the

other hand the pixel 2 has the

Snapdragon 835 which takes for

high-power cores and for low power cores

puts them together with 4 gigs of RAM

and either 64 or 128 gigabytes of

storage when you take a look at the

performance in Geekbench though it is

not even close the iPhone 10 is hands

down the fastest phone out there on the

graphics side with GFX bench well it's a

little bit closer it's still really hard

to argue with the iPhone 10 which is

really impressive considering that the

iPhone has two fewer cores at this point

not only is it faster than pretty much

any other phone out there but it's

starting to approach a lot of high end

laptops of course benchmarks are one

thing and real world use is another so

the pixel 2 is hands down the fastest

Android phone I've ever tried even

though yes on paper it might not be

quite as fast as the iPhone and actual

practical use it's really hard to see a

difference some of the iPhone 10 drops

but the pixel 2 still has a fingerprint

sensor I've got to say this one is great

always a place on the back of the phone

which is really simple to get at but

it's also incredibly quick so to set a

face ID on the iPhone it should be

pretty simple all I need to do is look

all the way around and it should scan my

face so raise the phone and swipe up and

it's unlocked

that's actually pretty quick I'm curious

though how well face ID works when it's

laying flat on something like a table if

i unlock it here swipe up oh it got it I

still have my reservations about how

good face idea is going to be in the

long run but at first glance it actually

does seem to be pretty well implemented

well it's not the most practical thing

I've got to say that an emoji on the

iPhone 10 are kind of fine so if I hit

record here hey guys this is lost

are an emoji worth it now you do need to

learn some new gestures on the iPhone 10

so instead of having a home button

instead you swipe from the bottom to

leave an app and then you swipe up into

the right to pull up your multitasking

from here you can go between your

different apps or you can use the little

thing on the bottom to actually scroll

between which app is open it does say a

little bit of getting used to but it's

actually not bad in comparison the pixel

2 feels downright normal so there are

some cool features such as they're

always on display which I like to be

able to see stuff like time date

notifications at a glance the pixel also

has Google assistant which I like a lot

more than Siri so that activate you

should need to squeeze the frame of the

phone the main feature of the iPhone

tendo is absolutely the display it's

rocking a 5.8 inch 24 36 by 1124 AMOLED

display now not only is this the first

time that Apple's gone with OLED but as

you can see the bezels are absolutely

tiny what this means is that you're

basically getting an iPhone 8 sized

chassis but with a much much larger

screen I've got to say it works it's

right up there with the galaxy s 8 no

date as far as some of the best screens

out there so it's nice it's saturated

it's pretty sharp well there is just a

little bit of color shifting when you

look at it off angle it is nowhere near

as bad as the pixels the standard pixel

2 has a pretty decent 1080p 5 inch OLED

display and while it's something

spectacular it totally gets the job done

when you switch to the pixel 2 X

although that's where you take a hard

turn into garbage town you look at it

dead-on the colors are ok but stuff like

Reds look awfully Brown when you look at

it off angle it looks very blue and

there been a lot of reports of issues

with screen burnin now Google will be

releasing an update which will

supposedly help some of this stuff but

when you compare it to the iPhone 10 it

is no competition at the very least

audio is an area where neither of these

phones have major issues they both have

stereo speakers you know what I think

they both sound good but actually do

have to give the lead to the pixel it's

a little bit louder and a little bit

clearer of course that's not a big deal

when you plug in a pair of headphones as

both of these have headphone jack oh oh

right it's 2017 neither of them have a

headphone jack cameras is where both of

these phones really excel so the pixel 2

has a 12 megapixel camera and the iPhone

10 has a pair of them one wide angle one

telephoto well it might only have a

single camera some of the energy

I've gotten from the pixel to really are

incredible the auto HDR does a great job

of bringing a ton of dynamic range into

a shot and it does a really good job of

being very very sharp it's also

optically stabilized just like the

iPhone and the low-light performance is

not bad either

there's really not a lot to complain

about with the pixel when it comes to

the iPhone 10 you're also getting solid

dynamic range and because it is the same

camera from the 8 as well as the 8 plus

you're also getting nice saturation I

love the image just look a little bit

punchier than on the pixel both cameras

also have a portrait mode so let's start

with the iPhone 10 that's not bad

so the advantages of this phone is that

both of the cameras are optically

stabilized which actually does make a

pretty big difference for portrait mode

compared to the 8 plus on the other hand

the pixel to sport mode is purely based

on software so if you look closely

you'll see that it's not quite perfect

so some of the edges are a little bit

soft and it doesn't fully blur the

background in this shot but a lot of

times I actually prefer the results from

the pixel too which is really impressive

considering that it doesn't have that

second camera where it really shines is

with selfie portrait mode yeah look at

that that's great

so now it doesn't do a really good job

with the hair but the background is very

naturally blurred and we take a look at

it on the iPhone 10 yeah that's just not

as good so you can see that my hair is a

little bit blurry it didn't really

perfectly cut my shirt out of the

background either video is also solid so

this is what the 4k 24 looks like from

the iPhone 10 and especially you look at

stuff like stabilization in color it's

nice if you switch over to the pixel it

is also pretty solid one of my big

problems with this mode the auto just

very good both the iPhone 10 and pixel 2

are incredibly expensive phones so the

pixel 2 pairs one of the best cameras on

a smartphone we saw an audio and a

really impressive build of Android the

iPhone has my favorite Hardware of any

phone ever and the screen is right up

there with the best like the Galaxy s8

and the node 8 which is where the pixel

falls apart when it comes to spending

$850 on a smart phone a bad screen is a

straight-up deal-breaker for me which

leaves the standard pixel 2 and when you

consider that it is $350 cheaper than

the iPhone 10 I'm willing to put up with

the less impressive screen and the giant

bezels it really is a crazy crazy good

phone if you have the budget you're not

going to be disappointed with the iPhone

10 but for a lot of people the standard

pixel 2 actually makes a lot of sense so

which one would you guys go for let me

know in the comments below and I will

catch you in the next one
