  • Google's Pixel 2 XL priced higher than Apple's iPhone 8 Plus but is half as fast, lacks ma...

    My friend, there are many frustrations in your article. You spent a lot of time trying to convince everyone that Apple products are better than Google products. We understand your pain, but many things in your article are wrong, subjective or missing. First of all, the price. Why don’t you compare Pixel 2 (649$) with iPhone 8 (699$)? Specs (processor, memory and how fast it is). This is subjective. Power is good when you need it. Do you own an iPhone 7, you feel is not fast enough for you and you feel the need to switch to the new CPU from iPhone 8? As long as your mobile phone is performing good for your daily tasks, it doesn’t matter CPU it has. Camera. Pixel’s camera might not have the 2x optical zoom, but how much would you use it? And, to be honest, 2x optical zoom is nothing. Why don’t you mention about the optical + digital stabilization found in Pixel phones? This is a much better option than OIS found on iPhone 8. Design - this is subjective. Different people, different preferences. OS - It also comes to preferences, both have good and bad. Battery - :) You haven’t used a Pixel phone before. First of all, Pixel and Pixel 2 phones have a bigger battery (since you like to compare the numbers) compared with Apples’s devices. But, everything comes down to hardware, software optimisation and how you use your device. I believe the new Android 8 (Oreo) is doing a great job on optimising the resources and it surpasses the iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus on the battery test. Things that you are missing from your article. Space. With Pixel phones you can save all your photos and videos into your Google Photos account for free. This is a feature that will cost you on iPhone. Virtual assistant (VA). VA is a feature itself and it should be taken into consideration. In this moment, Google’s VA is by far the most advanced on the market and it will get better and better each year. I think it’s quite hard to catch up right now and Siri is at least one year behind. I am not sure if you have tried the VA from Google on Android, but it’s quite impressive what it can do for you. It can scan your emails and it can remind you when you need to pay your bills, it will identify your flight bookings and it will remind you when you need to leave to airport, it will remind you the gate number of your flight, it will record the pattern of your commute and it will alert you when you need to leave in order to get in time to office, home or any other place you go frequently. All of this will be done seamlessly, without any effort from your side. You can control via verbal controls devices in your house and also apps.
