I think too many reviewers look at a spec sheet when reviewing a phone. The majority of people, even the majority of power users arent going to be doing video encoding or intensive gaming on their phone. In every other area (calls, photos, and texting) I feel the pixel is much better than the samsung phones I've used in the past because the integration of google assistant throughout the phone makes it one of the best phones to live with. Of course, if you are an iOS person, the iphone is impossible to beat. I appreciate you keeping that in context when you share your reviews and bringing in the experience of actually using the device.
Talking about specs is like you have a sex with many women and don't care about their characters 😅 no jokes aside. Even iPhone X or older can support Lightroom Mobile so specs are nothing. Battery in basic iPhones is really good like 5-7 hours. It's enough. Better to talk about real experience of using a phone.
If you have a Google Phone and don't speak English, and a couple other languages, you will miss out on a lot of features. I don't have Call Assistant in Denmark for example
@@chrikke even if you speak English you're out of luck if you're trying to make it understand local names. Street names, people's names, local companies' names. And when you're trying to call someone or navigate to some place, that's a problem.
The lighting in this video is....kind of amazing. I'd love to know how you got such a soft warm light like that!
In the pixel 8 now I used to type less and use more voice commands to text and chat which is really fast and helpful and accurate almost every time.
Best comparison video i have seen with thees phones! Good job!
Pixel 8 is a better choice i think. A lot of useful features. I don’t know about 7 years but i’m sure it can last 5 years. Google have learned how to improve quality of OS and Security Updates so everything should be fine. I hope Google will improve Tensor G3 efficiency. This resale value has taken too much place in discussion: most people should buy 400-500$ but since carriers want to make money and people have ego issues, they think about resale value as if it’s a graal: Money is gone, just enjoy your phone😅
the pixel 7 with 256gb is already $400 in my area,pretty sure the 8 will get the same value nxtyear or even 8a for the same money
iPhone is better
@AfroTech Not everyone has unlimited money from their parents so the resale value for some is something very important.
I just sold my Pixel 8 Pro and returned to first iPhone 15 Pro, than regular 15. This is the best of the 3 by far. The Pixel was already slow, games were laging, the phone got really hot and the battery life was very bad because of this. Same with the 15 Pro, got hot and battery drained fast. The regular 15 is not heating, battery easily lasts a day, not like the other 2. I really wanted to like the 8 Pro and the 15 Pro, but they are not good phones.
@@martinlazarov5904 unlimited money ?🤨. Maybe people should just buy what they can afford to. If your main priority is resale value, it just confirm you can’t really afford to pay. I will never care about resale value. I try to use my smartphone as long as i can, with updates and good performance.
Thx for your great review! I really wanna get them both lol
Colours on pixel video were really good but the bokeh on front facing camera of iphone was 🤌 wish both companies made a camera system together

Great video, i would like to add also repairability or the lack of it in the case of iPhone. Not all countries have official Apple stores and repair centers so if you need to replace even battery there is an issue straight away. I can take my Pixel to almost any independent mobile repair shop near me and get it fixed in case i need to do so. I had both Pixel and iPhone - love them both but the evil policy of Apple steers me towards Pixel and away from Apple more and more.
It's such a shame that Google nerfed the pixel 8 so badly compared to its big brother. I hate big phones so the 8 pro is a no go for me, but I still want a premium camera with a telephoto, so that drove me to the iphone 15 pro this year
True that. I just upgraded to the Pixel 8, not a big upgrade from the Pixel 7, but the Pixel 8 is such a more premium experience. The 120Hz screen is great as well.
Man idk why people hate the big phones I love a big screen
Pixel 8 is like no other phone I've used before... It's so beautiful, I just want to keep using it... And I had the iPhone 14 pro before this.... This one is such a welcome update...
Pixel 8 has a better camera than the i15p
Same here! Went to the IPhone 15 pro, It’s been pretty good so far! I had the Pixel 6, and the battery drain was the main reason I switched
the dynamic notch on iPhones is such an eyesore… it’s almost like 2018 all over again

I've always had an android phone (OnePlus and Google Pixel), while my wife and children have had iPhones. They always seem to be charging their phones. The android phones I've had go quite a bit longer on a single charge.
I agree as much as I like the pixel, the inconsistency and attention to details just put me off even from packaging. Also I like a small phone with telephoto lens kind of group.
First review I saw where iPhone selfie was inferior to Pixels. Same about the battery life.
How did you set the date on the screen on the iPhone(thumbnail) ? Looks amazing!
7:58. This is very misleading. The track record shows Google has always 100% kept their word about how long they're going to support their devices. They did only promise 3 years of updates of those devices. And they delivered. So the track record is clean.
I've had numerous Google phones that were supported far longer than their advertised date
The voice to text is another thing that I love Pixels for.
Team pixel for life. Had the 7. When google made the 8 smaller. I had to get it. On paper it's not that much smaller. But once you get to feel it in the hands. It's perfect. I just wish it was a little lighter.
6A I bought is ok. It's somehow considered compact -so glad to hear 8 is (a bit) smaller
What about the battery (on mobile data use)?
Does the pixel phones work properly on T-Mobile sim cards?
Haven't had a new phone since the Pixel 4, but I'm so glad I skipped all the bigger phones because I loved 4's size so much, now I know which phone I want next haha. Pixel 8 is just a few mm bigger each way than 4.
Love my pixel 8. But I have definitely had difficulties typing with this smaller screen
I was for long time team pixel but stuff that were coming back as problems didn't get any better with new models: no official shop in my country, problems with overheating, very bad signal strength - at one moment we had both with my husband pixel 6a and it failed as many times, last time we didn't have both signal in a supermarket!!! Also battery life...not the best. I switched to Samsung s23 ultra and first few months was great until they started to mess up all with updates that made camera and battery worse, also started to have WiFi connection problems so now I switched to iPhone 15 plus and we will see...so far so good (missing camera from pixel but only camera), bought it for 730€ thoe from outlet
Where are u from? Still happy with your choice?
Yes still happy
It's really just about your preferred OS. Both phones in real world use will offer whatever baseline needs you may want. I prefer Android especially with Nova Launcher as I can fine tune the phone to my liking, atleast at the homescreen end. I've used iOS in the past, recently used the 13 mini before buying a 2nd hand pixel 5... I can say that iOS is still the best OS in just plain everyday performance. Everything works and the layout is already pleasing to the eyes. But the lack of any sort of customization gets boring really quick.
It works in iOS, except for switching Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS off in any quick way other than having to go to settings, a dedicated tab and switching them one by one from there. A nightmare.
60 fps is disgusting for that price. Lol.
@@VToldsMotoShow you can do that through the control center though no need to go to the settings
@@jasminetberi6702 agreed once you use a higher fps screen there is no going back lol

Thanks for this video! Helped me choose my next phone! I liked the Pixel but didnt know if iPhone was better then Pixel 8 but not i have made my choice thanks to your detailed review
Suggestion: Maintain which side (left or right) you put the Pixel and iPhone throughout the video.

Take
As someone that’s been a pixel fan from the beginning and dropped iPhone as soon as the pixel came out, I switched to the iPhone 15 just because google showed nothing performance wise to make me interested in pixel 8 plus I don’t care about the AI features and it’s surprisingly been a pretty great experience. I’m mainly glad that my phone no longer gets hot just starting an app and my battery doesn’t go down super fast. It’s come a long way since those iPhone 6 days. I think everyone should switch to the other side every few years just to see how things have evolved.
If you got the base iPhone 15 and not the pro then I would say that doesn't really make sense. Paying premium prices for a 60hz screen is wild. If you got the pro then that makes more sense.
@@lumbruhjack8888 I mean the 120hz is the least worthwhile thing. It’s a nice to have but not anywhere near important enough for me to prioritize. I would’ve liked the new processor tho but didn’t want to wait 2 months for it to come back in stock
@@lumbruhjack8888 you guys are getting crazy with this 120hz displays. I have a phone with that and guess what? I switch that shit off cause it drains my battery like crazy. Ios is very optimised so even with 60hz it is still smooth.
@@weiss588 whether you use it or not at least you paid for it. I'm not going to pay 4k prices for a 1080p television. if I'm going to buy a phone with a 60hz screen I should be charged accordingly. The problem isn't with the 60hz it with what they are charging for it.
@@lumbruhjack8888 Lolthe60hz argument is getting old man.
Excellent review and comparisson Mark. Now I know which one I will go for. Keep it up :)
First you need to choose which OS is more favorable to you, then the mobile model, its not ideal to choose expecting the future... what they offer today.. Great video !
How did you get that theme on the iPhone 15 and also love the wallpaper.
Great content!
I hope the radio in the Pixel 8 has improved from the 7. Really frustrating to be in a large building or poorly serviced rural areas and having bad reception while my wife's iphone has no problem.
Do you have some lags on screen when scrolling fast ? I have this issue on certain apps like X or youtube...
You never talk about the storage I have a iPhone 12 and the biggest problem with a iPhone is the storage get filled up specially if you have the base 64 gb variant
The prices you have mentioned is for 128 GB version. Pixel 8 would cost 759 USD for 256 GB whereas iPhone costs 899 USD. Again a similar price gap. But if you are going to use phone for photos Primarily, iPhone clicks in HEIF format where images are less than Half the size of Pixels JPG format. Ideally, a 128 GB iPhone will do the job for most people in that case. My two cents ☺
That's not a similar price gap though. The fact that you can pay only $60 more for double the storage on the Pixel 8 is awesome. A $140 price jump for a 60hz screen iPhone sucks.
Fantastic video! Which carrier network where the phones on when you did the battery test? My pixel 7 modem kills my battery life. I usually get 3-4 hours of screen on time.
I did a smart, which was take my siblings old iphone coming from android to see if id like iphone 15, im not enjoying it so far, so pixel 8 is my highest contendor but i do not like the design and wish they would consider going back to the pixel 5 design. pixel 7 looks okay but I also want the support, will wait it out for 9 and see how that goes
1:17 where did you get that cool theme on the iphone?
value is one thing, preference is another
How will battery perform with mobile data ? will iphone be better here ?
Summary - Iphone: + better speakers (slightly) + / - IOS + better performance + lighter Pixel: + 120hz screen + AI features + / - Android + 1 year of additional software support + faster usb c
The battery life is better on the pixel in my two weeks of testing. My battery test includes 2 hours of video playback, 2 hours of social media scrolling, 30 minutes of 4k 30fps recording, 30 minutes of calling, and 30 minutes of gaming (Asphalt 9). I’ve designed the test to be repeatable and to simulate an average day of use for myself.
@@MarkSpurrellalright, sounds good. I‘ve tested the 7 pro back then and it was good but not brilliant in terms of battery life, I‘ve seen the 8 is a big step up tho. With my 11 pro battery life was phenomenal for the time during the first 6m and then it got worse and worse, after 2 years I had like 2.5h of video playback, now only 1.5 and I‘m def upgrading now but that’s quite a shame, the s20 for example is still pretty good regarding battery life
please share the link for the wallpapers you used on the iphone 15 pro 2 weeks later video . tons of us on reddit are looking for it .@@MarkSpurrell
The display is an absolute dealbreaker imho. A 60Hz Display in a phone that, over here, costs over 1000 USD is just absolutely ridiculous. As someone with a 120Hz phone, a 144Hz Monitor and a 120Hz iPad, every time I pick my old iPhone 12, it is noticeable, and it is awful.
How about actual real world performance test results like transfering 4k or 360 video off an action camera and editing/saving it...
Should i go for iphone 13 or pixel 8? Because they cost the same in my country
Nice job on the video. The Pixel is the better buy , but here in the States iPhones seem to be the choice of most .

Is pixel good for long run... Does it maintain performance and smooth software experience for a long run unlike other cheap android phones. Does it have lite mode in software.
Do we know when Google will enable the display port alt?
Yup! I love my Pixel 8 pro! The customization on it is SUPER EASY! In fact, I think it could be the easiest I have EVER experienced with a smartphone. It only took me 5-10 minutes or so upon 1st turning it on when I first got it to get it to where I wanted it. I designed it to be an "Aquaman" theme to go along with the Bay Blue Pixel I have. The AI features are amazing! I used the call screen option 3 times so far and I love that too. To actually be able to have an AI assistant take and screen my calls along with transcribe them live for me to see! Wow!
Google needs to invest in customers service, retail stores and better stable software overall android is better however ios more stable more polished
They can say you’ll get 30 years of updates, the phone won’t last that long ether way. I like them both and the the pixel be 549 at the moment it’s hard to pass up unless I wait for the 8A 🤔

Google needs to improve the overall quality control for Pixel devices. I start with Pixel with great expectations every year and go back to a rival in a few months because of inconsistent performance.
I agree as much as I like the pixel, the inconsistency and attention to details just put me off even from packaging.
I have the fold 4 and pixel 8. The simplicity, smoothness, and elegance of the pixel is unmatched. Sure the Samsung has more features, I just rarely find myself using them if ever. iOS is too closed/tied down and is boring AF

iPhones are just a little stale at the moment. Other than the improved camera, there are no real reasons to upgrade from the 14. Google somehow managed to release phones that feel fresh and new.
even if it was a big upgrade from the 14, in what world would you upgrade from an 800$ phone in less than a year? WHY??? isnt the whole point of buying an expensive phone keeping it for a while so it lasts while not really being left behind since it's really fast anyways?
Honestly apart from the software features (some of which are device-specific, learning from apple) the 8 has no significant changes tbh, that plus the 100$ price increase, not that exciting compared to some of the Chinese brands and even samsung

I hated using iTunes / iCloud to transfer stuff to my PC. I also hate that you have to pay to use the iCloud to transfer files. iPhone has a great OS, just wish they wouldn't be so tied down. I like to plug my phone in and transfer all pictures / photos at once. iPhone photo/video file system is crazy. It's also a nightmare if I want to upload something like an mp3 audiobook from my PC to my phone. I wish iPhone wasn't so tied down, otherwise I would probably be using one right now.
ios file system is a mess and it is made that way so that you buy their hardware or subscribe to their services to make it less shiddy. That's a no from me.
You don't have to pay to use iCloud to transfer files, what are you talking about? You transfer files directly into the app, if you don't like it you should've done better research. If transferring an audiobook is a "nightmare" then you need to up your IQ and stop blaming your tools.

I bought the Pixel 8. My phone history is Poco F1 --> iPhone XR --> Samsung A52s --> Pixel 8. I have been part of a team android and love the flexibility and unique open source apps available only in Android . I do love the display and camera of the pixel. But there is nothing else to like. The battery life is terrible, I always turn on battery saver when I leave home which turns off the 120hz (it is a feature you will never be able to use because it kills your already fast-draining battery). There is no way this phone is going to last 7 years. I will be putting my up for sale.
Mhmm... You just watched a video where the battery life of the Pixel 8 was better than that of the iPhone. Sooo, it can't be that bad since it has better battery life than the phone people are always hyping up. Some people just want to hate I guess...

I personally dislike always on displays, but the presence of a useful feature is always better than the absence of one.
Best comparison video ever and unbiased, im a iPhone user and I love pixel phones
They should put the 120hz refresh rate than the dynamic island.
If they did that, trust me on this , Apple would be charging more 😂
The dynamic island isn't a feature. It's just another way to fool apple fans to think that they've got something special when really it's just a notch
smooth 60hz is enough of the eye am using 15plus and it really really smooth the only problem i have with apple is a 3rd cam they have to add a 3rd cam to base models
Why on other reviews they say the pixel battery is bad. How does it beat the iPhone? 🤔
In the Netherlands the Pixel gives a waaaay better deal with a contract than the Iphone. The difference is about 15 euros per month over 2 years (!) and the Pixel even comes with free Pixel buds pro. Nobrainer for an ex Nexus user
Android is about 5 years ahead in smart features including text correction and voice dictation/ recognition. This is a feature I use all the time! iPhone has been so disappointing that I am switching back for good. It’s so bad that almost every 3rd word is falsely corrected on 13 pro when the 7 note Samsung was way better 8 years ago! This is so sad at how far iPhone is behind and people are still buying it like it’s the greatest thing in the world! It has become a brand buying more than what you need the phone to do. Impressing me on chip speed when in reality it does not make any difference is a complete scam!😂
From my experience Pixel phones batteries degrade very quickly. Whereas iPhones don’t. They also definitely more optimised on iOS due to software in standby mode.
Disagree on more stable and polished in what sense? I knew the 8 would be the better phone! 7 was already almost there. I switched to apple 2 years ago and can’t wait to go back. Android is in all sense a better phone and better integrated with the software which is more important to me than having a spec A16 chip it does in no sense contribute to being a better phone. The smart features on iPhone including typing correction is 10 years behind!
@@mjfamgo6563android 13 on pixel isn’t like android 13 on Samsung or Xiaomi or honor or oneplus or oppo. None of those devices will get android 14 at the same time. Some won’t get it at all. iPhones are simply: optimized. And will simply: stay supported. Google doesn’t make their chips. Apple does.
I donot agree with this. I had used Pixel 3A for 3 years without much loss in battery health. It mostly depends on the way you use it, if battery over heats, that would kill battery easily. But technically your point is little correct also, Pixel phones have always on display and Standby drain is more. This would lead to more battery cycles compared to iPhone
Great review! Super useful!
nice comparison ..subbed bro...
How did you put custom homescreen time widget and icons on iPhone?
I have the same question, I want to do that to my iPhone 15

One important thing to note is In pixel 8 most of the photo AI features will only work if you have backed them up in google photos. And Gdrive comes with free limitation of 15 gb. So be mindful of that

Good start to escape from ecosystem trap, I guess...
The Apple iPhone 15 is an overall better package. I know that it has a 60hz display and a smaller battery size but it is better in performance, camera and especially in India you get much better customer service than Google. I personally like the dynamic Island it is so unique with it's own features.
It's crazy how Apple has got all Indians in a knot that they even like massive notches now. Look up performance stress tests for iphone 15 and pixel 8 on youtube. The iphone has a chip that miles and leaps better than the pixel, yet somehow falls behind in real word performance. Camera isn't really better, the pixel is better in some regards (such as still photos and capturing skin tones and overall AI enhancement features, the night mode is better too) while the iphone does better portraits and video. The only real point of contention here is the customer service but seriously, who are you kidding. If you broke anything on the iphone, get ready to shell out half the price of your phone to get it fixed.
The pixel has by far the better camera! Most people use the camera for photos, 7/10 times. So even though the iPhone has better video, it's just not comparable to pixel's still shots.
@@parth_19 the iphone and pixel on “camera mode” is almost on par while the iphone and pixel on “video mode” is not even a competition. camera goes to iphone…
@@ibyang5742 Nice try but the pixel is definitely better for still shots. The AI features make it even better. Also, I think you're forgetting that pixels are way cheaper compared to pro model iphones. Hell they're even cheaper than the base models
@@GreenEagle54Exactly, but you can't tell an apple loyalist anything.
Im watching from an iPhone and for me pixel 8 speakers is better. Maybe its just me
Pixel 8 because of the battery ..But Bionic is too sweet
Let’s see how reliable the pixel 8 will be in 2 or 3 years. I’m not a pixel hater, actually I’m a fan of the product, not a fan of the company, though. I’ve considered buying a pixel several times mainly for the camera and the good price. That being said, the only company that has consumer using 6-7 years old products is Apple. My mom and sister both have 5 year old iphones 7s, released in 2016. It is so rare to see old androids like samsung’s galaxy s10 and pixel 4 from 2019, while i see 2017 iphones everywhere. A lot of people, that are not nerds or dont care about specs, buy iphones for its long term reliability. That is something no android company can get offer.
You're not wrong. Non-techy people are generally better off sticking with Apple.
Running the pixel 5 and still a great experience. I don't expect any issues on the Pixel 8 after 2 years.
Funny you say that; I am a techy, but still use my Galaxy s10. I now have to upgrade because, although I still like the phone, Samsung is not providing security updates anymore. I purchased the phone in Dec. 2019; so I have had the phone for 4 years and now HAVE to replace it because of the stall in updates (work requires security updates). So now I'm moving away from Samsung and that Pixel 7 year updates looks pretty nice to me.
Pixel 8 has a "polarising camera bump" while the iPhone has a traditional "square one"? Did you forget when iPhone 11 launched, it had the most polarising camera bump in the market.
The race was won this time by the Google Pixel 8 because the iPhone asks the account (mandatory field) for a phone number, while an Android account does not ask for a phone number (mandatory field) If you lose your phone and you can't recover the number for various reasons, you've lost the account you have (for example, 10 years old or in which you invested a lot of money) for good📡🌍🔋🎓♦️♦️♦️
Both feel mature in their design cause the design is a 100 years old
I would like a video of what's wrong with the iPhone The burning And indents
Heating issue?
I preordered the Pixel 8 Pro the day it was announced and am now back to using my iPhone 13 Pro Max. The camera is undeniably great and the display was beautiful. I also really enjoyed the customization but the OS was so glitchy it did not allow me to enjoy the pixel experience. I would constantly have to lock and unlock the phone to get the page to un-freeze. It would take multiple tries to get the bottom slide-up to work to have my apps closed. My battery felt like it drained a bit too fast as well. I did like the pixel watch more than the Apple Watch, I do miss using the watch
Lags & bugs were also major issues on the 7 (according to Dave 2D) 😬
@@AzVfL I'm sure OS updates would've fixed the issues I experienced. Just didn't want to risk it and miss my return period waiting around.
@@AzVfLkind of had that issue but I had to reset for something and worked perfectly for me
@@Bri-lw7qw after the December Update i can tell you that a lot is fixed now. What annoys me is the fact that they released it with half baked software but sadly I have seen the same behavior on Samsung phones.
@@kurokiniro I actually gave it another try but went for the regular pixel 8 this time. The phone was doing great till it got into an endless boot loop about 4 days ago and now I have a replacement coming in the mail 💀
Wallpapers source would've really appreciated. 😊
The link is literally mentioned and shown in the video. As is how the iPhone home screen is set up.
I had the iPhone 15, sold it for the new mint Pixel 8 and love it. Better keyboard, translator, faster scrolling. I am glad to make the switch. iOS is ok for some things and the phone is good but I feel like I am on a new level with the Pixel, just way more fun and useful. Sorry Apple.
I bought myself a new 15 pro, coming from pixel 7. Already regret it. Only thing on pixel 7/8 which I'm missing the most is telephoto lens. If you prefer a larger form factor pixel 8 pro is a better phone in every way hw and sw wise. I want a smaller phone with telefoto lens and there aren't many to select from. Once Google will sort this out next year in pixel 9 I'm done with iPhones.
Definitely not in every way hardware wise, the Tensor G3 processor is a joke to the A17, iPhone also has a WAY better battery life. Software is arguable and honestly just preference
Why regret? Refresh rate! Tell us reason
I was in the same pool. T-Mobile gave me a heck of a deal on a trade in of a Pixel 7 to an iPhone 15 Pro and it was instant regret. I wanted to intercept the mail to get my Pixel 7 back. I just bought a Pixel 8 for $549 for Cyber Monday and picked it up just a little bit ago and am looking forward to selling the iPhone.
