Pixelfan go customize your Pixel and fuck off.

i use both a 6s plus and a pixel XL daily, I have an 8 plus to play with as well everyday.

Have you or any apple fan boys ever used a Pixel?

or do you just believe that a picture of a circuit board and some geekbench tests mean your phone is the best ever?

I've tested the original Pixel and a huge number of non-Apple made devices. I don't "play with" them but analyze them in a variety of ways and Apple's devices keep coming up as being best in class, which included being fastest in actual use and most refined.

I can tell you that every time someone posts "but blah blah was first" that the experience, quality, and/or security of that so-called feature is exceptionally poor. Take Touch ID for example. I bet you were someone that made a big deal about how Apple was just "catching up to the completion" and that you had a fingerprint reader on a WinPC a decade earlier, but people like you would leave out just how poor that experience was and, most importantly, how insecure it was.

As for posting the engineering abilities of the logic board, that speaks volumes about the product because the average customer never sees it. Since you don't know why that's important I'll explain it to you: Companies that only care about the superficial aspects of what the customer can see and not the experience or the whole of the device are the problem with this industry. The extra R&D and manufacturing cost to make a more complex and compact logic board show that Apple is better at engineering and cares about the device instead about making a quick sale and then dropping the customer once they realize those simplistic spec sheet numbers don't tell the whole story.

You're the kind of person that looks at the amount of RAM but not the type, speed. You're the type of person that looks at the number of cores and clock rate, but nothing els about an extremely complex SoC. You're the type of person that Google and other low-tier vendors love.

PS: No one believes you bought an iPhone 8 for your wife.

ill post a pic for you side by side later
touch ID works great so does googles. my note 4 fingerprint scanner sucked
apple may have hardware advantages but google has software

my tests are how i use the phone, no other testing is important to me

I didn't read all that, but pretty sure the only time you mentioned the Pixel 2 XL's larger, sharper screen was as a negative, which is ridiculous. The resolution and use of OLED almost certainly makes it better than the iPhone 8 Plus's (I'll admit I haven't used either, but do have both QHD OLED devices and True Tone devices at home and I know which I prefer.) Also, in real world use that 4GB of RAM will likely be absolutely fine. It certainly is on my S7 Edge, a phone which runs basically just as fast as my iPad Pro 10.5 for all intents and purposes. The Pixel 2 XL is overpriced, but this article looks to be seriously biased.

Apple will sell you an OLED but you have to buy the Iphone X and rumors are it wont ship till 2018 and it costs more than the Pixel 2

APPLE fast charging....doesn't come with the phone! I just bought my wife the 8 plus and bought the fast charger from amazon and the usb-c to lightning port off amazon...at least pixels come with with the charging block to support their fast charging

apple store had the cost at around $70 for both
ripoff

I use a Pixel XL and Apple 6s Plus that I use daily. I ca nappreciate all of your fancy scores and pictures but in practical daily use I widely prefer the Pixel. I see no difference in snappiness. I am not a gamer so that doesnt apply. Have you ever used a google pixel? -Google assistant blows siri out of the water. I have asked both phones the same questions and google answers are far and away more accurate, and or better. Siri usually just searches the web and shows you the results -Ive taken pictures with both, even an iphone 8 plus and the pixel usually has the better pictures. Now the portrait mode on the 8 plus is legit and better than the pixel 1, havent seen the pixel 2 yet -The video stabilization on the pixel 2 has OIS and EIS and the early youtube vids comparing to iphone 8 show google blowing apple away, as do most of the side-by-side picture comparison vids on youtube -Im not tethered to iTunes!, good, I hated having to use iTunes to sync and restore -I have unlimited, uncompressed cloud storage of all pics and videos -The iphone X most likely wont ship until next year...nice launch -Bezels anyone? 8 and 8 plus still have huge bezels! not the pixel2 XL though -Home screen customization anyone? the iphone still uses the same old home screen with tiny clock at the top and no real options -I much prefer 3 buttons to 1 -Front firing dual speakers is a plus for the pixel 2 -Wireless charging? non-issue for me, I see no advantage to laying my phone on a pad that is plugged in vs plugging the phone in -Android vs IOS, well both are good -Notification window. Google can customise what i get to see and what i want to have shortcuts to like flashlight, wi-fi, airplane, bluetooth, etc.... Apple is what it is -overall, i feel like apple tells you how to use your phone, google lets you use your phone how you want to use it
