What's up guys, David here and this is a video...
that you guys actually requested, so my last video where I told you I was using the OnePlus 3...
as my daily driver, and thinking about switching
I asked you guys if you guys wanted a follow-up, most of you guys said yes...
so here we are, I've decided to switch phones and the phone I've switched to is...
the Google Pixel, which I'm holding upside down.
I say that despite thinking that the iPhone 7 Plus is the better phone, overall.
Now, you may be wondering what does that mean. Right?
I think the iPhone 7 Plus is better overall, yet I sit here in front of you, saying I'm using the Pixel.
So why? Before I answer that question.
Lets talk about why I think the iPhone 7 Plus is actually the better phone at least in terms of hardware. Right?
So, the iPhone 7 Plus has IP67 which at this point is a really big feature to have on phones.
The Pixel doesn't have that.
So IP67 water and dust resistance.
And then iPhone 7 Plus also has dual speakers so it's a lot louder...
than this guy. And this one's a little distorted a times too
it could easily get covered, so it's not better in that regard.
It has the 2X optical zoom, the camera on here is great.
Being able to zoom in, I think adds a little more value. And umm, oh the design!
This thing wasn't my favorite design when I first saw it.
It has grown on me, okay, but I wasn't a fan of the two tone.
In fact, I asked my 4 year old nephew, "Hey, do you like the way this phone looks?"
He was like, "I don't like this. The plastic and the metal."
I mean, he didn't know it was glass. But the fact that he said "plastic" is probably not a good sign.
My objection, you know on a logical level is if you're going to put glass...
on the back of a phone let it be for some purpose.
I mean they say, it's to help you get better reception. But, I don't really have issues with a metal phone.
So, I don't really buy that.
Samsung has all glass phones, and you guys have seen the drop test obviously breaks easily.
And obviously this would probably crack too.
But, you know at least the Samsung phones comes with you know Samsung pay with MST...
I don't know if it needs a glass back to do that, but it does have that option.
And it has wireless charging.
So, not a fan of the design. Has grown on me since originally laid eyes on it.
Overall, iPhone 7 Plus from a hardware perspective, I think it's better. That's my opinion.
Obviously there's counter arguments. This has fast charging.
It's more comfortable to hold in the hand, it doesn't rock when you're using it on a flat surface.
All those things, you guys have seen the reasons video. If you haven't seen the reasons videos.
Click over here, because I go over 25 reasons, why each is better than the other.
I did a poll actually, in that video, asking you guys, which phone you thought had the stronger reasons?
The majority of people voted for the iPhone 7 Plus on both videos.
With that out of the way. Why did I go with the pixel?
Well, first off you guys know I'm an Android fan, and you're not gonna get a better version of Android...
than you can get on the Pixel. The newest version, straight from Google.
I just like the customization, and being able to really create the experience I want on my phone.
I'm an enthusiast and I'm going to take those actions, most people don't.
That's why I said that the average consumer is probably gonna the iPhone 7 Plus more.
At the same time, there are some pretty strong reasons on why you'd wanna use the Pixel.
And again, watch the two videos and you guys will know what I'm talking about.
I don't wanna keep repeating myself. However, the thing that kinda tipped the scale for me at least ...
is actually not a reason included in any of those videos. It's something thats more personal to me ...
And I think some of you guys could relate to this and that is I feel that the Pixel better represents ...
where we're going in the future when it comes to technology, at least when compared ...
to the iPhone 7 Plus. I felt like if I didn't use the Pixel, I'd be missing out.
What would I be missing out on? In the same way that the G1 let me experience the growth ...
of Android as a platform. The Pixel is setting up the future for two really really big things.
The first, is A.I. I think artificial intelligence is bar none the biggest advance we're gonna make ...
in technology. And obviously this has Google assistance on it and that's gonna continue to evolve ...
and get better as time goes by. I wanna be a part of that process and see it grow.
Obviously Google Now is available on other phones. Right. It's available on the iPhone, but it's kinda hard ...
to get to so I don't really count that. But it's available on other Android phones.
But the Google Assistant is a little bit better integrated on the Pixel. And the second thing is ...
the daydream platform. Right. The V.R. that have the dedicated Daydream view headset.
For me, at least for the phone integration is the best headset out. It's comfortable to wear ...
comes with a remote, and there's not a lot of app on their right now. It kinda reminds me of the early ...
days of the G1, but I wanna see that grow as well. Now, that's probably not a reason that applies to ...
some of you guys. Maybe some of you guys it does. Right? I'm just a hardcore technology ...
enthusiast and I also have the luxury of being able to switch back to the iPhone ...
if this phone gets annoying. Or I could switch to the OnePlus 3T or whatever phone I do ...
so maybe that doesn't count as much. But, wanting to be part of the shift that we're gonna make ...
in the next, you know, 5 or 10 years is something that I think the Google Pixel represents.
And I just want to be a part of that like I was with the G1. So yeah, that's why I switched to the Google Pixel.
Outside of that, I think that's pretty much it for me in this video so I will see you ...
in the next one.
