**Reason #1: Customizable Home Screen**

The Google Pixel Excel offers a highly customizable home screen experience. With the launchers available, you can make your home screen look and work exactly the way you want it. From assigning special gestures to open up an app to customizing each individual icon, making your phone truly yours is a breeze with this device.

**Reason #2: More Capable Widgets**

The Pixel Excel has more capable widgets compared to its competitors. While the iPhone technically has widgets now, it's limited to just one screen. With the Pixel, you can put widgets on multiple screens just about anywhere you want. For example, you can put a post-it note right on your home screen and have your full monthly calendar on another screen.

**Reason #3: System Control**

One of the biggest differences between iOS and Android is how much control you have over your phone. With the Pixel Excel, you have complete control over your experience from tweaking things like animation speed in developer settings to which icon shows up in the notification bar and system tuner. This level of customization allows you to make your phone truly yours.

**Reason #4: Split-Screen Multitasking**

Split-screen multitasking is another feature that sets the Pixel Excel apart from its competitors. With this feature, you can use two apps on the screen at the same time for example, you can open up your shopping list and calculator to quickly add things up without having to go back and forth between the two apps.

**Reason #5: Better VR**

The Pixel Excel offers a noticeably sharper and crisper VR experience due to its higher resolution display and resulting pixel density. Additionally, support for Google's Daydream platform and dedicated headsets make this device the edge in virtual reality.

**Reason #6: Quick Camera Launch**

You can quickly launch the camera from any screen on or off with just a double tap of the power button. This feature is incredibly convenient, allowing you to never miss a photo.

**Reason #7: Default Applications**

With the Pixel Excel, you can set up new default applications, allowing you to permanently replace system apps with one of your choosing. For example, this feature can be used to open Snapchat instead of the regular camera app.

**Reason #8: Wider Angle Selfies**

The 8-megapixel selfie cam on the Pixel Excel has a much wider lens than the one on the iPhone. This means you can fit more people or background into your selfie without needing a selfie stick.

**Reason #9: No Protruding Camera Lens**

Unlike the iPhone 7 Plus, the Pixel Excel does not have a protruding camera lens, making it easier to use while lying flat on a desk. This feature eliminates the constant rocking back and forth that occurs when using an iPhone with a protruding camera.

**Reason #10: Unlimited Full-Resolution Photo Storage**

Unlimited full-resolution photo storage is included with the purchase of the Google Pixel Excel. This means every one of your 12-megapixel photos and every detail of your 4K videos can be backed up in the cloud for free, without any limitations.

**Reason #11: Less Obtrusive Volume Indicator**

Unlike the iPhone, the Pixel's volume indicator doesn't cover almost half the screen, making it less obtrusive. This allows you to see what's going on when watching a video on Facebook while adjusting the volume.

**Reason #12: More Ergonomic Design**

The Google Pixel Excel has a more ergonomic design with curvier edges and convenient button placement, resulting in a smaller overall footprint. This makes the phone more comfortable to hold in the hand compared to its competitors.

**Reason #13: Better Do Not Disturb Mode**

The Do Not Disturb mode on the Pixel Excel is more flexible than the iPhone's version. You can set different schedules for weekdays and weekends, have do not disturb turn on automatically during certain calendar events, and even decide whether or not your notifications turn on your screen.

**Reason #14: On-Device Support**

If you ever run into issues with the Pixel Excel, you have a support menu right in the settings where you can talk to a real person 24/7. Additionally, if needed, a tech support representative can actually control your phone to help solve the issue for you.

**Reason #15: Headphone Jack**

Finally, one of the most surprising features of the Pixel Excel is its presence of a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack. This means you don't have to replace your old headphones or carry around an adapter, making it a convenient feature for those who still use wired headphones.

**Why Is the Google Pixel Excel Considered Better?**

While some might argue that the iPhone has its own set of compelling reasons why it can be considered better, the Google Pixel Excel offers many features and advantages that make it stand out from the competition. From customizable home screens to more capable widgets, split-screen multitasking, and better VR capabilities, the Pixel Excel is a versatile device that offers a unique blend of functionality and convenience.

**Why Choose the Google Pixel Excel?**

For those looking for a device that truly meets their needs and provides a seamless user experience, the Google Pixel Excel is an excellent choice. With its advanced features, improved design, and comprehensive support, this device is sure to provide years of service and satisfaction for its owners.

By considering these reasons, it becomes clear why the Google Pixel Excel is considered a top contender in the smartphone market – offering a unique blend of functionality, convenience, and versatility that sets it apart from its competitors.
