Recientemente Google introduced us, next to the Google Pixel Slate y Google Home Hub its new Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL models. However, it hasn't been a month since Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), will present its new iPhone XS and XS Max.
Today we will carry out a comparative between these two benchmarks of each Android and iOS operating system.
Design and display
If we talk about the screen, the panel that mounts the iPhone is a 6,5 inch OLED with 2468 x 1242 resolution with 458 dpi. Emphasize that it has the famous notch on the front of the device. Regarding its construction, it has a design that fuses glass (front and back) and steel (on the sides), which makes it one of the most attractive terminals.
In turn, the Google Pixel 3 XL has a panel of 6,3 inches OLED Quad HD + resolution with 533 dpi. Its design alternates glass in half of its rear side and aluminum in the rest of the body.
Performance
In terms of gross power, both have Enough resources as to move the heaviest applications and the most complex, with which in this section, let us choose the one we choose, we should not have concern. Google incorporates the Snapdragon 845 next to the adreno 630 and 4GB of Ram. On the other hand, the iPhone XS Max has the chip, Apple's own, A12 Fusion. At the time of writing this comparison, there is no more powerful processor than those mentioned.
Photography
We are facing one of the most important sections of the market without a doubt. The google pixel 3 XL incorporates a 12,2 megapixel sensor with aperture f / 1.8. Meanwhile, the Apple device has a double vertical sensor of 12 megapixels and aperture f / 1.8. Both sensors are a benchmark in the high-end range and no user will miss a professional camera worth thousands of euros. They also have the ability to record in 4K at 6Ofps.
Software: iOS vs. Android
It is the most critical section and on which it will depend whether you buy one or the other. The device of the bitten apple has the latest version of iOS 12, while the Google Pixel 3 has Android 9.0 Pie. Here it will depend on tastes and preferences, if you are more or less familiar with each of these mobile operating systems. iOS, as always, is committed to a clean and simple interface and, as always, not very customizable. In the meantime, Android Pie It is an open, modern and customizable operating system at the service of the user.
Battery and connectivity
Both devices have a priori capacity acceptable for one day of use. The Google Pixel 3 XL incorporates 3450 mAh that augurs a day and a half of use and the iPhone XS Max mounts one of 3179 mAh. The amperage reduction is not surprising since battery management in the two operating systems is different.
As for the connectivity the two devices are very complete and they have the best and maximum on the market in terms of this section: NFC, Bluetooth 5.0, eSIM etc. Emphasize here the incorporation of the eSIM, a sign that the high-end will begin to include it in the coming years without a doubt and it will begin to be a trend.
Price and conclusions
El iPhone XS Max has a starting price of 1259 in its 64GB version, being able to reach 1659 euros in its 512 version, something that seems crazy to us. The Apple terminal can already be purchased in Spain from September 21. The Pixel 3 XL, without falling behind in the price, it does not reach a too exorbitant figure and it is that we can acquire it from 949 euros in its 64GB version. The main handicap is that we will have to wait until November 2 for it to arrive in our country.
By way of conclusion, we are faced with two large terminals in today's mobile phone landscape. However, the difference in the operating system will make us opt for one or the other due to how extremely different they are. Anyway, what is undeniable is that this Pixel 3 XL and iPhone XS Max are the best of the high end and very few terminals reach it.
