Screen size

Both manufacturers of the forth coming device mainly focused on display technology of the fourth coming devices. We can expect wraparound design where the bezels are slimmed down from both the manufacturers.
Apple is going to launch a device with remarkably largest feature display, but it will not be the biggest smartphone released to date. On the other hand, a five-inch bezel less display screen of Google Pixel 2 is also making the device just high.

Whereas, the iPhone 8 with a radical redesign, edge to edge display, touch ID sensors and front facing camera features is just remarkable. Front facing camera of iPhone have advanced 3D sensing capabilities, and the vertical rear camera is capable of taking improve pictures with better AR functionality. Megapixel ratings for both devices are similar, but iPhone 8 is capable of delivering better shooting in low light conditions.
Processor

On the other hand, Apple is going to introduce a new A11 for the iPhone. A report from Digitimes suggested that the Taiwanese Semiconductor manufacturing company (TSMC) has started the production of the A11 process to power the upcoming models of iPhone 8. Other than iPhone 8 this Apple A11 processor will power the future successors of Apple 7 and seven plus. The A11 processor will make the iPhone 7 more efficient than the prior models of iPhone.
Memory
Google Pixel 2 has the capability to hold an incredibly impressive quantity of memory. A stonking 6 GB of RAM is what has made Google Pixel 2 more attractive than the smartphone series in the last generation. On the other hand, Apple never emphasized on delivering massive specifications. It focuses on providing excellent performance with a unique combination of proprietary hardware and software. The 3G memory expected in iPhone 8 is merely half of Google Pixel 2 offering 6GB.
Storage
The storage capacity of Google Pixel 2 will start from 32GB. Rumors also suggest that there will be no micro SD card support in the device. The premium version of Pixel 2 is likely to have the feature of 128GB. It slightly leans as compared to other devices available in the market from competing brands.

Battery
There is no doubt that the iPhone 8 is an unquestionably remarkable and iconic device from Apple so far. The brand name of Apple is matchless among all electronic devices providers. Still, the speculators, on comparison between iPhone 8 vs Google Pixel 2, criticize Apple for delivering a paltry battery life. The 3000 mAh battery combined with new power saving functionality ensures that the smartphone is competitive. However, the 3500 mAh large battery feature is making Google Pixel more functional than Apple iPhone 8. In other words, we can say that there is little explicit reportage on the battery capacity in Google Pixel 2.
Price
The battle is going to get intense at this stage of the competition. It’s hard for Google Pixel 2 to compete directly with the iPhone 8. Google Pixel 2 will launch at a mid-range price.

On the other hand, Google is seeking to reinvigorate with a disastrous explosion.

We don’t know the truth of the matter until any official announcement from Google and Apple. Owing to the competition and all the rumors swirling around iPhone 8 vs Google Pixel 2, it seems Google Pixel 2 has given a must win challenge to Apple before the iPhone 8 release date.
