Pixel 3 XL vs iPhone XS Max SPEED Test!

The Power of Updates: A Comparative Analysis of iOS and Android Devices

I've now updated my device to iOS 10.1, and it's clear that even with the latest software, some things don't change. The four gigabytes of RAM is still a limitation, but it seems that manufacturers are improving their performance, making it possible to do without this feature. This raises an interesting question: can a phone truly be considered great if it doesn't have enough RAM?

To find out, I decided to conduct some tests on my device's boot-up time and app launching speed. The results were surprising - with the latest iOS 10.1 software, my iPhone's boot-up time is now comparable to that of the new Google Pixel 3, which has a significantly higher amount of RAM. However, when I launched individual apps, such as Snapchat and Instagram, the iPhone still seemed to be struggling, while the Pixel performed much better.

One notable difference was in the camera app - on my iPhone, the camera app is ready to take pictures almost instantly, whereas on the Pixel 3, there's a noticeable delay. The animation speed of the iPhone is also faster than that of the Pixel. However, when it comes to loading large apps, such as Minecraft and Asphalt 9, the results are more mixed - sometimes the iPhone performs better, while other times the Pixel takes the lead.

To get a more comprehensive understanding of how these devices compare, I decided to run some benchmark tests using Geekbench. The results were not what I expected - both the iPhone and the Pixel 3 scored remarkably low in the multi-core test, with the Pixel's score being slightly higher. However, when it came to graphical performance, the difference was much more pronounced, with the Pixel 3 taking a clear lead.

Finally, I decided to test out biometric authentication on my device - specifically, Face ID versus fingerprint sensor. The results were clear: the iPhone's Face ID is faster and more convenient than the Pixel's fingerprint sensor. However, it's worth noting that the Pixel does not have facial recognition capabilities, which might be a deciding factor for some users.

As I conclude this analysis, I'm left with mixed feelings about the performance of my device compared to the Google Pixel 3. While the iPhone still has its strengths, such as speed and convenience, the Pixel seems to be giving it a run for its money in terms of raw processing power and feature set. The question remains: which phone is truly better? Only time will tell.

In terms of prices, I was surprised to see that the Google Pixel 3 is priced at $900, while the iPhone 11 Pro Max is available for $1,099. This raises an interesting question about value and worth - is the Pixel 3 truly worth its price tag, or is it simply a premium device with a hefty price tag? Meanwhile, the iPhone 11 Pro Max seems to offer more value at its lower price point.

Overall, my experience has been enlightening, and I'm left wondering what the future holds for these devices. One thing is certain: both the iPhone and the Pixel 3 have their strengths and weaknesses, and users will need to weigh these carefully when choosing a new device.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey guys the Google pixel three is here and in this video I'd like to compare Google's latest creation and be actually kind of adorable and much better-looking in person Google pixel 3xl versus Apple's large iPhone 10s and Macs now I was actually surprised how similar these devices are in person in terms of size you can mistake one for the other in your pocket the Google pixel 3 excel does not have the dual lens camera it does have the notch on the front now and I might add the apples looks much more handsome it doesn't seem to take up as much room it is much more elegant not only that on the bottom you now have a chin area on the pixel 3xl but aside from the design which I personally do not like too much let's see if it makes up for it in performance so let's put Google's newest phone through its paces the iPhone tennis max I've already tested it turns out it's actually the fastest phone I've ever speed tested on this channel specs are very similar here an apples processor is the newer one seven nanometer but both do have four gigabytes of RAM and just an observation I made Android has never looked more similar to iOS or maybe it's a vice versa than ever before or Android 9.0 is a very similar gesture interface and very excited to test that out here now Google didn't do too well with the pixel - on my speed test let's see if the three will be any better so both of these are updated on their newest firmware and all of them clear doubts in the app switcher we're gonna start with the day to day usage test where we basically launch applications one after another see which one can get through them faster I'm gonna start with the social media stuff and this is where I noticed this right away the pixel has very long drawn-out animations considering they have total control over what they can do with the operating system I'm kind of confused why they would leave that delay there they should launch apps much faster like the oneplus series but anyways it does get through them just a lot slower because of the animation and in general I'm just not feeling the fluidity that I do with other Android phones which surprises me so much considering this is supposed to be Google's flagship and I really do hope that with time they do you optimize it update it but right now it's far from a perfect product even Apple's latest iPhone tennis max was more optimized on release and of course it will get better with time but just a little disappointed here from Google so at this point the iPhone tennis max is pulling ahead a couple applications in the lead it seems to load the heavier stuff a little bit better the animation certainly helped on the pixel three you know the drawn-out so that adds to the time but this point the iPhone Tennis Max has received some support from applications so some of these have been updated and might be running better than before even in my earlier speed test here I'm already on San Andreas we're still on Mario run just now opening asphalt 9 on the pixel 3xl now I personally believe that both of these smartphones should have at least 60 gigabytes of RAM both on Apple's end and Google's it's an interesting choice to just put four because most smartphones nowadays have at the very minimum six to eight well I mean Android smartphones and I think the iPhone tennis max could certainly use that even with the great optimization at all but anyways at this point you can see how far ahead the iPhone has pulled it's already on the last test here with the 4k one minute and 30 second video the same one I always use and the Apple a 12 ionic just chugs powers through it it's amazing absolutely love that and I know most of us aren't editing exporting 4k video on the daily but it's one of the iPhone 10s Max's strengths and it certainly does show here so the iPhone is just about done with round 1 just needs to save the video meanwhile the pic so three is still many applications behind now I wanted to point something out about the pixel in my short time using it something I didn't like about it is just how dim the display is surprisingly way dimmer than any other Android phone dimmer than the iPhone is just something unusual because most Android phones do have brighter displays than the iPhone so I was a little surprised by that anyways the iPhone tennis max finishes with round 1 2 minutes and 23 seconds now the applications at the very beginning have been cleared out of the app switcher and the same thing happened on the first version I was told point O highly doubt that there is a difference just the one version of parts but hopefully that doesn't get better with time minecraft is the cutoff application where all the apps were loaded after that which is very nice so they were still there you can go back to even some of the heavy stuff like Grand Theft Auto the iPhone Tennis max just breezed through round 2 everything passed minecraft was loaded that certainly helped at the time and that's a new winner around to is 32 seconds for the iPhone tennis max very very impressive better than the initial speed tests that I did on it and about time so the Google pixel three finishes round one with three minutes and 48 seconds that's honestly really really bad I'd expect that from a phone about two years ago but for modern smartphones that's pretty bad according to this test and if you really think about it I'm not doing anything crazy I'm just launching apps closing them in quick succession but the Google pixel 3 is struggling at it so all of the applications on round 2 needed to be reloaded the OS completely cleared it out and that might be some new optimizations with Android 9 but definitely did not like that if you do something heavy play a heavy game then go back into your other apps they're gonna be cleared out and missing so I hope that that's fixed in a software update and because it needed to reload all the applications it finished with a round two time of three minutes that's pretty bad all right there we have it so the results a bit surprising here considering its using the same processor as many of the other top Android phones I've tested it does so much worse than those I don't understand meanwhile the iPhone 10s max seems to do better on the multitasking now that it's been updated to iOS 10.1 and I should only continue to improve in the future definitely seems to make a do without four gigabytes of RAM a little bit better alright so let's go ahead and clear the app switchers and get down to business with all these specs and individual app launching so we can get a better idea of how they compare side by side instead of this real world test I'm going to start off with a powerup test so this is essentially Android 9.0 versus iOS 12th and 0.1 in a boot up test three two one and pressing power on both interesting choice in the power button color for Google here but a very optimized version of Android I'm loving it feels great wow that was like ridiculously fast I think that's the fastest phone I've ever seen turn on crazy so yeah that totally just destroyed the iPhone in boot up times hey that's good I like it when other phones beat the iPhone it means it has some catching up to do ok let's go ahead and with a cleared app switcher start launching some apps snapchat one two I did notice like a crazy delay you some of the apps how it seems pretty even heroes try Instagram one to look at that even the animation is faster on the iPhone but it loads faster on the pixel huh camera one - these are different camera apps but the iPhones is ready to take pictures faster here on - that is ready displaying information already much faster than that Google's version what's up with that Photoshop Express with one and two I don't like that hang when you launch an app and it hangs and then opens in a large image exporting at the same time here one two three iPhone and got that one down considerably faster and a Minecraft one - so seems to launch things almost immediately gives you a satisfying response but this one loaded on the pixel faster interesting okay one two and loading the actual world iPhone in progress bar filled up faster and did load faster as well here asphalt 9 one - it's a very large game again the hang here and it's been out on the iPhone about the same time as the Android version so optimizations should pretty much be even a large game oh wow the pixel beat it out I'm so confused getting conflicting very interesting results once I'm launching them side by side here a Netflix one - ok so loaded faster on the pixel very interesting results alright so let's go ahead and get some actual numbers here with a Geekbench okay so here's the Geekbench results unfortunately the iphone tennis max is having a bad day usually the scores are higher as they can get up to 11,000 but still pretty formidable 4746 here 47 62 on the original almost 10,000 multi on the pixel though we have a five thousand six hundred and sixteen multi and a 1226 single core so I don't know what it is but these scores are pretty low on both anyways let's go ahead and run it and to do and get a graphical performance idea Wow look at that so a very close and hoodoos benchmark score let's break it down here so CPU the iPhone has the advantage GPU apparently be pixel three as the advantage in so on so very very close here and on the same Internet interestingly enough the iPhone maxed out to the Wi-Fi speed test to a further extent over the pixel three so that's pretty good I guess but both are pretty high where you're not really gonna notice it all right next up let's test out biometrics apples face ID versus pixels fingerprint sensor on the back so you'll get used to placing it there still pretty convenient much faster usually versus facial recognition and unfortunately the pixel does not come with facial recognition so there's really no reason to have such a crazy notch other than the cameras but anyways here we go so with both locked and three-two-one yeah no question the pixel with the fingerprint sensor is way faster here and once again one two three and yeah definitely no question way faster on the pixel there's definitely something very nice about having a fingerprint sensor and eventually hopefully the iPhone gets it beneath the display in the future because that would be the ultimate convenience and I just wanted to mention prices prices on all smartphones are going up but I genuinely don't believe that the Google pixel 3 is worth $900 maybe 750 800 at most but the iPhone tennis max I think could be $100 cheaper as well otherwise guys there it is the speed comparison between the pixel and the iPhone tennis max gotta say I'm not too impressed with the RAM and the multitasking on II pixel just how it handles itself but the iPhone with the same 4 gigabytes still does a pretty dang good job better than the pixel that is overall though quite fast just not up to the standard that most Android smartphones are at right now hope you guys enjoyed this video stay tuned for more peacehey guys the Google pixel three is here
