Summary of Advantages

Google Pixel:

Sharper display
Double the RAM
Speedier LTE Cat11 support
Universal NFC
Faster USB 3.0 (Type-C) port
Larger battery

Apple iPhone 7:

Force Touch feature
Bigger internal storage option
Optical image stabilization
IP67 certified

Google Pixel has a quite larger 5-inch display over the 4.7-inch of the iPhone 7 but choosing between the sizes is completely subjective. What the Pixel’s advantage in terms of display quality is its crispier Full HD resolution and the use of an AMOLED panel. There’s double the RAM on the Pixel so, theoretically, multi-tasking should be more fluid. The LTE Cat11 radio and USB 3.0 (Type-C) port also adds great speeds on the device’s connectivity. On top of the that, the large 2,770mAh Li-Ion battery is definitely better plus it’s got rapid charging.

Apple iPhone 7, on the other hand, has its own advantages on the display thanks to its 3D Touch magic. Its camera gets the edge due to the optical image stabilization plus a larger internal storage up to 256GB. Lastly, water resistance is definitely a plus for the iPhone 7.

So, if you were to choose, which one will you get? The Google Pixel or the Apple iPhone 7? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

I agree with Duh and ROBG. This article needs revision. I really don’t get the logic of comparing Gorilla glass with 3D touch. Is it because of 2.5D in gorilla glass and 3D in 3D touch? lol

Hello, for the comparison,,,,

2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass 4 – GOOGLE PIXEL

and for the iPhone 7 ( 3D touch, fyi is not the GLASS itself, its a FEATURE )

DO NOT mention USB Type C as an ADVANTAGE, as iOS dont use it anyway. ( you are NOT comparing 2 ANDROID phones )

its not actually the SPEED i am talking to, it’s the USB itself.

Well if you will compare BOTH android, I might be impressed with the critic.

Nice try though.

It’s mentioned that the advantage is the USB 3.0 transfer speeds not the type of port.
