5 Reasons to Choose the Google Pixel over the iPhone 7

A few weeks ago, Google announced a bunch of new hardware products including its new range of flagship smartphones — Pixel and Pixel XL. With similar looks, price point, and features, Pixel is squarely pitted against Apple iPhone 7. But which one is worth your hard-earned money? Here are 5 reasons why you should choose Google Pixel over iPhone 7:

• Quad HD Display: Pixel has relatively a bigger 5-inch screen. While Apple offers the same 720p and 1080p on the 7 and 7 Plus, Pixel and Pixel XL come with a 1080p and a Quad HD AMOLED display respectively. Google’s Daydream VR headsets will be a perfect visual experience with its high-quality Quad-HD screen.
• Headphone jack: Yes, Pixel has it! Apple’s vision of wireless future is great, but let’s agree that having an access to the 3.5mm jack is a better option than losing one of your uber-expensive AirPods. This is where Google will have a great opportunity to capitalize on Apple’s lack of jack.
• The all-new Google Assistant: Pixel and Pixel XL are the first smartphones with the new Google Assistant built-in. Like Siri, Google Assistant will act as your digital butler, letting you control your phone just by talking to it. Comparatively speaking, Google Assistant proves to be a more reliable virtual assistant as demonstrated by popular YouTuber Marques Brownlee. While Siri chooses to display the results on the screen instead, Google Assistant is more conversational and reads the entire answer — which makes it a better choice. Also, you can have a conversational flow with Google Assistant since it is contextually more aware and smarter than Siri.

• Quick-charging support: While Pixel uses a USB-C port to charge, adding up to 7 hours of battery life in just 15 minutes, iPhone 7 has nothing special to offer. Moreover, Pixel packs a 2770 mAh battery, which means that the phone should offer a few extra hours of usage during the day. Clearly, if you want a long-lasting battery, Pixel is the right call.
• Unlimited Cloud Storage: Neither device offers microSD storage expansion. That said, where Apple offers 5GB free iCloud, Google will give you unlimited cloud storage for full-resolution video and photos. The second your device falls short of space, the OS will back up your data in the cloud.

The Google Pixel and Apple iPhone 7 stand very close in terms of features and price. That said, by providing the headphone jack and quick-charging support, Google has managed to fill loopholes of iPhone 7. So, which flagship model will you prefer? Let us know in the comments below.
