Google Pixel XL vs. iPhone 7 Plus

As we all know and are pretty much excited about Google Pixel. Google first fully controlled smartphone. By full control I mean Hardware (though the phone is made by HTC) and software of course!

Google is all set to enter the higher segment smartphones market with Pixel coming in competition with the Apple IPhones and Samsung Galaxy series. Samsung is having a bad time with Note-7 with people facing fire issues with the model. Apple at the other hand making round with ‘iPhone 7’ and ‘iPhone 7 Plus’.

Google have Pixel and Pixel XL same as iPhone 7 and 7 Plus.

All three phone are under same price range. So get ready to “sell your Kidney” jokes apart, if you have a credit card you can easily afford one or get the phone on EMI from the vendors.

Both phones have finger print scanners whereas iPhone use it in front, Google Pixel has it at the back. Also, Apple iPhone 7 has the first ever dual-lens camera.

Who wins?
Depends on what your requirement is? If you are looking for a simple to use phone with amazing camera quality then Apple iPhone 7 Plus is what you are looking for. The reason I won’t consider Apple because in just a year you might be looking at Apple iPhone 8 with better upgrades. Apple does it all the time.
But if you are looking for a powerful phone for multi-purpose usage Google Pixel XL is your cup of tea. It is more affordable than Apple iPhone 7 and battery will last longer. The reason Google will not be every iPhone user’s cup of tea is Status symbol and market quality.
