[@conspicuousrod4910]

I have an iPhone 11 pro and a Pixel 5 and I've been looking at getting the iPhone 12. I will say this, it will obviously depend on which Operating System you prefer and how invested you are in it (android or ios) but I usually carry my Pixel 5 85% of the time and on most days. When you look at both devices I enjoy the software and editing that can be done to the Pixel's photos and videos plus the Pixel 5's front-facing camera has an option to zoom which isn't available on the iPhone 12. I tend to prefer the Pixel for outside photos and the iPhone slightly over the Pixel 5 for inside shots. The details at least in the photos I take are a bit better and in my lighting, the iPhone carries the lighting more naturally to what my surroundings actually look like. Please understand that the Pixel 5 is 699.99 plus tax with 128GB of storage and the iPhone 12 is 849.99 with 128GB of storage and the iPhone 12 doesn't come with a charging adaptor in the box. If you like accessories, the iPhone 12 will have more options. My household loves IOS and the sucky part about is we can interact better when I use my iPhone for things like facetime, sending photos, emojis, utilizing applications together and etc. IOS is a better app-driven experience and Android 11 offers a uniquely diverse customization experience. I prefer my keyboard on my Pixel 5, I like Google Maps, I like the notification system better, the fingerprint sensor is certainly better right now during this pandemic and I just feel more comfortable throwing the phone (Pixel 5) in my pocket without a case and screen protector and leaving the house. I enjoy the 90hz refresh rate on the Pixel as well, it's a small difference you just tend to notice when you spend so much time on your phone. iPhone in this instance has the processor for sure. All this being said, I thoroughly enjoy the apps and application experience on the iPhone better, not sure why really but I tend to run into fewer glitches and the apps are truly catered for the operating system. The Pixel will get your three or four years of updates and Apple promises five. Pixel has a two-year manufacturer's warranty and Apple has a one year? There will always be pros and cons but if you like IOS more then you will most likely enjoy the iPhone 12 and vice versa....now if you're thinking about switching to either side...it's just gonna depend on how you use your device and what's most important to you....good luck......

[@christopherzube551]

Back in the old android days it was a bit more confusing. It was not hard for me as a user to learn android when the original droid came out but some did have a hard time learning it. I'm talking from eclair, froyo, gingerbread, etc. It started to get easier with ice cream sandwich. The pixel lineup was a really good idea because it was a pain for me when they would jump from different companies to make nexus. from Samsung, lg, motorola, honor. Then when they realized that their were people that actually wanted a vanilla android they decided to start with the first pixel. They were able to show later on that you didn't have to have the best camera as long as you had great software. I tried iphone but it's way to boring, and now with gesture control it was a pain in the butt to keep using back arrows. iPhones also don't have peek display like motorola and pixel 4xl. People will always debate which one is better but in the end it's all about the user. People with iPhones love them because it hardly ever changes and " just works " and their eco system with Macs and ipads. Android has come along way and if you want to try android again then go with pixel and Motorola's. I tried the iphone 11 and I was just really not satisfied with it and I always expect new differences when buying a new phone. I do not see the point of putting in a newer and faster chip if theirs nothing to actually put it to the test. Not to mention the notch for the face id. Were in 2020 going to 2021 and still that notch is the biggest turnoff for me. Pixel 4xl face id in my opinion is faster and not as noticeable like on the iphone. I'd rather take a slightly larger bezel on the top then the notch. Which was why I sold the iphone 11. Everybody has their opinion tho and as I said earlier, it's what the user is happy with.

I12 with its 60hz display doesn't deserve that price tag and pixel 5 is definitely a better buy. The one and only reason i12 is likely better than p5 is in video capabilities. If one really makes a lot of videos, then sure. But even for regular video capabilities, p5 is better buy all things considered.

Give me pure Android in iPhone 12 hardware and I will never think again about a phone. Just to give you a simple idea. No way (unless you buy a transparent widget...for couple of bucks) to move all icons you need in the bottom end of the screen and leave the rest of the screen empty....basically you need to fill the screen to push them down.

Outstanding review. Thanks for covering all the things I would never have known about. Thumbs up and just subscribed. I have been loving my Pixel 2XL for several years now. It’s works as well as it did the day I brought it home. The only thing keeping me from getting another Pixel is the lack of updates after only three years. This was not an inexpensive product when purchased and to stop security updates after three years is a big negative in my humble opinion. And it’s worth virtually nothing in terms of trade in value. Shame on Google.

[@9000eldiablo]

Have both and in terms of reliability it's always iOS (XR). My pixel is my primary phone and the iphone is for office. I take calls, manage meetings, emails switch between apps and this phone does not shred a sweat. As on the pixel the call screen hangs sometimes when I immediately try to switch between apps. Example: teams, email and phone. I recently used the iPhone and an ipad as a temporary replacement for my crashed windows laptop and after a few hours of adjusting it was office as usual. I cannot imagine that level of multitasking with any Android. But still for some reason, I just can't completely quit Android.

BUT if you use to use apple devices you will miss the iPhone but for anyone thinking to switch to android the best experience similar to iPhone is the pixel . For me iOS is one step forward yet

[@mywaterparksromance1822]

I have the same phone and it was the best for the first 3 months but now it is so slow and glitchy. It barely works

[@estebanbarajas92]

Switch from iphone 7+ to Pixel 3 and never looked back. My Pixel 3 was having issues because of its age and bought the Pixel 5 and I love it. Got one for me and the wife with the deals going at the moment traded both Pixel 3's in, walked out with case and screen protector for both phone and only paid $200. When I was buying the phones and setting them up there was 5 people that walked in having issues with the iPhone 12, the wife and I were debating if we should switch to Iphone and with those iphone issues I don't regret it. Plus the repair costs, you will spend this over the life time of a Pixel than and iPhone.

Very flawless and precise comparison video between the two phones. By the way, I am seeing this video 4 months after buying an iphone 12 but still found your video very helpful.

[@Rehnstrand]

Great video! 👍 Both phones are great so it's just personal preference that decides. I've got the iPhone 12 pro max which I'm now replacing with the Pixel 5. Not that the iPhone is bad but I prefer android and always liked the Pixel phones. I however have the deepest respect and understanding for others making the choice to go for the iphone.

[@Uliwulp]

Strange how when he says dynamic range in iPhones video is better, the building in the background at 7:29 is completely blown out on the iPhone (while on the Pixel it's not) ... 🤔

[@perry22131]

Exactly this, every comparison I've seen the Pixel looks and sometimes sounds better. With that said, many still photos comparisons I'd like the iphone better but the majority sides with the Pixel. To me, it's just a popularity thing, Pixel will be the photo king while iphone holds the video crown.

[@stackyychan]

Pixel 5 easily ftw... Main Reasons: Software, Google Assistant Version no one else can get( I think), Full Screen(no notch), Camera, Smoothness, 2 day battery, Call Screening, Call holding, 90hz and more... I'd be bored to death with a iphone, never 👎🏽

When the Pixel 5 released here in Europe we got Bose wireless headphones included for free when buying it on the official Google Store. I sold my headphones for ~200€. So actually I spent only 400€ on the Pixel 5 - and nothing can beat it at this price tag! :) So in my case it was 400€ vs 955€.

[@AndrewHahaLee]

From an Android user, iPhone 12 entry is a no brainer because the Pixel isn't a flagship. But come 2020, I'm still can't believe Apple hasn't sorted out their cluttered notifications. So software experience considered, Pixel's the one for me.

It's a really good comparison of two really worth it phone for the price. for both 128GB versions it's- Big Notch VS All screen display Much better video vs slightly better photos $849 vs $699 A14 vs SD765G (A14 is 3 roughly times faster) 60 HZ vs 90 HZ smoothness no charger VS Fast charger out of the box iOS VS Android no unlimited cloud storage vs Google Photos unlimited cloud storage at high quality honestly you can't go wrong buying either of these but I can see the $150 USD price difference so unless you love playing games, rendering videos and capturing a lot of videos Pixel 5 seems like a better deal overall for the price. If you care about video quality there's no phone out there even close to iPhone 12. Even the iPhone 11's 4k beats out Samsung's 8k let alone Google's 4k.

Google is using a Bio-resin on top of the aluminum of the Pixel 5's body to achieve wireless charging. Basically, there is a physical cutout in the aluminum where the coil lives, and this plastic bio-resin sits on top.

I'm just amazed how iPhones are so popular. They look pretty I'd give it that, but just lack basic functionality. Oh and iphones don't have a dedicated volume slider to control alarms. Unreal.

[@rizdog5735]

[@danielfaust2456]

This is my current debate. I'm itching for a new phone and I'm on the fence. I currently have an iPhone se (2020) and a pixel 3a xl. Both have really good cameras. I think the iphone has more "natural" tones and slightly crisper lines but night sight on the pixel is magic. Last I researched I believe the iphone night mode is automatically suggested only when IT seems it appropriate and manual use is not an option. Also the battery in my pixel is a beast and the iphone has to be topped off a couple times to make it to bed time. I would really like to have seen you compare night modes.

[@seventysevencats]

Pixel 5 could have been so much better if Google had decided to compete in the premium category. As it is, it's a nice phone but so many little things made me go back to my N20U: small storage, slow processing (felt when deleting stuff, unpacking archives, etc), Gcam 8 works very well on the Note (main lens only), a big screen is nice sometimes... Yet, the Pixel 5 still has so many interesting points: Google assistant works better, faster updates, the screens looks sharper than on the N20U, the blacks look darker, the battery life is just as good, it's light, fits easy in a pocket... As for the iPhones, like some other I'll never move to iOs or Apple but I'd love to get their video capabilities in an Android phone. I just hope that Google will finally upgrade their camera hardware on the next Pixel - maybe with a custom Soc.

[@ricardohartley8338]

[@jmunayer]

When discussing the displays you should really talk about brightness. The Pixel 5’s peak brightness is about HALF of the iPhone 12’s. That will impact the user experience way more than 90hz vs 60hz. On top of that, the Pixel 5 is way overpriced when it comes with a midrange chipset.

Personally, for looks and prettyness of the OS, I’ll say iOS. iOS is very pleasing to the eyes with graphics and animations. But Google takes the cake for functionality and features which I like better. This is why many, including myself, say iOS is just boring. And although imessage is great, I love, love, love Android’s notification in general. But I’m so tired of the same damn notch, and if Apple has it this year, even if smaller, I’m out until they get rid of it.
