While the Pixel has just recently been born, some lucky ones including us have had a chance to use it before others. Almost everyone is interested in learning about its speed limits and see the competition of Pixel vs iPhone 7. Like us, you will also be surprised once you will come to know the results…

Now, it is obvious that the iPhone truly is the winner when it comes to performance. The killer optimization of Apple and iOS as a platform in addition to the tailored hardware is what makes iPhone always stand out when it comes to such tests. The iPhone has long been recognized for its great smoothness and overall UI fluidity while Android devices have not really been able to match up with it.

Google competing well with Apple

However, as Pixel has just joined the race, the scenario has changed. We do see regular daily tasks such as opening the calendar, the stock browser or regular apps working as fast as they do with Apple. In fact, they might even work faster than the iPhone to our surprise.

The Pixel’s camera opens in a flash

If we compare Pixel vs iPhone 7 cameras then we get to know that the camera on the Pixels opens extremely fast as compared to iphone 7. Thanks to its double-click-to-open gesture which makes it all possible. But the inside stuff of the device are not being completely controlled by Google.

While it is overall fast the Pixel still doesn’t stand a chance against the iPhone’s A10 Fusion SoC. It is particularly true when it comes to gaming. The Apple’s baby is without doubt much faster when it comes to loading games. Google will not be able to compete to that end unless it makes some extraordinary innovation in its hardware hat.
