hi everyone Aaron here for zollotech and the pixel 7 Pro and the iPhone 14 pro Max are
the latest flagships from both Google and apple and I wanted to help you decide which
one would be best for you I use each one of them every single day and they're very good
in their own ways so we're going to compare everything from the cameras to the specs to
the displays and more and the first thing is the price the pixel 7 Pro comes in at 749
and goes up to 9.49 the 14 pro Max starts at 1099 and goes up to 1599 for the one terabyte
option so we have 512 at the top with the pixel 7 Pro and one terabyte with the 14 pro
Max now the overall build design and feel of the pixel 7 Pro is a little different than
the iPhone now the first thing you may have already noticed I have cases on both of them
the pixel in particular is very slippery that's why I picked up this pixel case from Google
so let's go ahead and remove the case and we'll talk about what it's built like you
because this is extremely slippery from day to day and I feel like I'm going to drop it
regularly however it feels very solid and high quality the overall build is aluminum
or aluminum around the outside edge and it sort of comes to the back here across the
camera visor now you may or may not like this overall design but I kind of like it and it
definitely lets you know it's a pixel so we have aluminum around the outside and then
we have Gorilla Glass on the front and back and this actually has a physical SIM card
on the side where the iPhone doesn't in the United States so let's go around the outside
and as you can see we have the SIM card on the left side on the top we have our millimeter
wave antenna with a little microphone and on the right hand side we have our volume
button along with our power sleep wake button above that and a bunch of different antenna
lines on the bottom we have our speaker and microphone along with a USBC Port again our
cameras on the front and back we'll talk more about that in a little bit with the iPhone
let me go ahead and remove the case here the iPhone picks up a ton of fingerprints so I
know a lot of people would really appreciate a case because of that so we'll move that
off to the side and the iPhone is a little bit heavier because it's built of stainless
steel we have stainless steel around the outside edge with ceramic shield on the front and
back as far as the overall glass now we don't have a SIM card tray but on the right hand
side we have our power sleep awake button and you can already see how many fingerprints
this is picked up just from me removing the case we have our power sleep wake our millimeter
wave antenna on the top not really anything there but a antenna line on the left hand
side we've got our volume buttons like we've had for a long time on iPhone along with our
silent switch which is something that I think all phones should have and again no SIM card
tray on the bottom we have our speaker and microphone along with a lightning Port of
course cameras front and back and both of them really are very distinctive you know
this is an iPhone and you know that this is a pixel phone of course both of them like
I said weigh a little bit differently the pixel 7 Pro comes in at 212 grams or 7.48
ounces the 14 pro Max is 240 grams or 8.47 ounces you can definitely feel the difference
in weight but I don't think that would stop anyone from picking one over the other the
displays are really great on both of them with the pixel 7 Pro we have a 6.8 inch display
1440 by 3120 at 512 pixels per inch it goes up to a thousand nits an HDR video 1500 nits
Peak outdoors and 120 hertz display just like what we've had with Android phones for a long
time with the iPhone this is slightly smaller at 6.7 inches at 1290 by 2796 at 460 pixels
per inch this one is a little bit brighter at 2 000 nits at Peak brightness outside and
1500 nits or 1600 nits with HDR video again it has a 120 hertz display the Apple calls
Pro motion it looks really great pwm is something I know a lot of people have asked me about
pulse width modulation or the way the display controls brightness meaning that it flashes
faster or slower depending on the overall brightness level this affects about 1 in 10
people where it can cause them to feel nauseated or give them headaches or just eye strain
in general I'm affected by this both phones seem to be pretty good with this the pixel
7 Pro has a 240 hertz refresh rate and you can see it 240 frames per second it's flashing
where the iPhone doesn't appear to be if the iPhone is raised above 39 the frequency is
at 480 Hertz according to notebook check which is basically DC dimming so 240 is about what
both of them have normally but above 39 on the iPhone it really doesn't flash at all
so it's much easier on the eyes that way additionally I wanted to mention one more thing while playing
a video on YouTube if we go into YouTube go to my channel here play one of my videos and
rotate to landscape you can see that on the dynamic Island on the iPhone the dynamic Island
cuts into the overall display of the iPhone so on the same video it's just below the camera
on the pixel but it cuts into the dynamic Island and that's something you'll have to
deal with with 18 by nine Ultra wide video so that's something that may bother you on
the iPhone of course you can just zoom in if you need to but again you'll see the dynamic
Island the same is true on the pixel where you'll see the little camera punch so that
just gives you an idea of what to expect there and as far as the dynamic Island goes I know
a lot of people really love this I think it's a great way to have notifications and sort
of utilize the space used up by the camera and face ID sensors but if we swipe up here
you'll see that we have notifications press and hold we've got our little options to go
forward back on our song and it will give us more information depending on the app that's
running there or we can just tap on it to bring us into to a different app that's running
so I think it's a nice thing to have but it's not a reason to pick up the iPhone in my opinion
but it is a nice little feature that's there that you really like once you have it now
as far as the cameras on the phones these are one of the main reasons people either
buy the pixel or the iPhone they either prefer the overall look or they just want a good
phone with a good camera on it and both of them have great cameras the forward-facing
camera on the pixel 7 Pro is a 10.8 megapixel F 2.2 aperture and can record 4K 60.
it doesn't have autofocus but it does have speech enhancement on the iPhone 14 pro Max
we have a 12 megapixel camera but this year it has autofocus and it's an F 1.9 aperture
it also can go at 4K 60 prores video so it's a little bit higher quality overall but it
may not look it once we compare it in video as far as the rear cameras these are really
great on both devices the rear cameras on the pixel 7 Pro are a 50 megapixel F 1.85
aperture 12 megapixel ultrawide F 2.2 and a 48 megapixel F 3.5 with 5 times optical
zoom and super res zoom up to 30X so it has that as well as macro mode and a laser detect
autofocus sensor so it's got a great camera on the back on the back of the 14 pro Max
we have three cameras and this year we get an upgrade to a 48 megapixel F 1.8 camera
a 12 megapixel F 2.8 three times zoom and a 12 megapixel F 2.2 ultrawide again we have
4K prores macro and action mode all of the modes are very similar between both cameras
now let's go ahead and compare them and I'll show you some photos and videos and let me
know what you think of them in the comments below [Music] foreign

[Music] this is the forward-facing video from the iPhone 14 pro Max which has autofocus
compared to the pixel 7 Pro which doesn't have autofocus but seems to be managing the
background a little bit better the overall dynamic range looks a little bit better but
it could be different once I see it on the actual screen blown up let me know which one
you think sounds best as far as the iPhone 14 pro Max as I'm talking into it now and
the pixel 7 Pro which actually has a speech enhancement mode but it's not available at
60 frames per second so once you're at 30 frames per second it will completely limit
what's in the background and it definitely does a better job there but let me know which
one you think sounds best and looks best in the comments below foreign

when it comes to overall speed while each of them have their own dedicated processor
created or at least made for them by a manufacturer to their specs the pixel 7 Pro has Google's
tensor core G2 with 12 gigs of RAM and like I mentioned before storage up to 512 gigabytes
with the 14 pro Max we have the a16 bionic made for Apple but designed by Apple with
six gigabytes of RAM and storage up to one terabyte when it comes to the overall speed
it's really hard to see the difference between both of them so if we go into a web browser
let's make sure everything's closed out here and we have to close individually on the iPhone
on the pixel we slide over and then clear all and it closes if we open up the web browser
and go to Apple you'll see they were very very close so there really isn't a huge difference
there in regular day-to-day use it just depends on how fast the Wi-Fi connection is connecting
to each of them but basically the same there if we go into geekbench I did run it on both
of these devices so you'll see here let's see if we have the history I just ran it a
little bit ago and the same is true on the iPhone and you'll see based off these scores
you would think the iPhone is incredibly fast compared to the pixel 7 Pro and technically
it is at 1872 compared to 1042 and 5412 compared to 3165.
however in regular use like I said with opening different things such as Safari or different
apps you're not going to see too much of a difference so if we go into Real Racing let's
go into this here we'll go to Real Racing 3 and let's open it up on both devices and
let's see how fast it actually loads so I'll put them down you'll see the pixel 7 Pro is
already in it's the same game updated as well and the iPhone still loading we're already
at the main screen on the pixel so again it's still loading here it says real racing three
and we're finally at the same point so we'll go ahead and swipe to get started there we
go same thing and actually the frame rate of this case actually looks a little bit smoother
on the pixel for some reason and you can see that here and I've heard that a lot with the
recent updates on the iPhone with this device so whether you're on a beta or not a beta
it seems to be fairly choppy in some games you can see the overall frame rate on the
game both look very smooth and Graphics look great on both also if we go into the camera
on both at the same time the pixel was slightly slower but not slow enough that you would
miss taking a photo and then again we'll just snap a photo and it takes a second to process
on both so the overall experience for Speed is very very similar one of the major factors
with any modern phone is battery life the pixel 7 Pro has a 5000 milliamp hour battery
that Google says is good for Beyond 24 hours and up to 72 hours with extreme battery saver
the 14 pro Max has a 4 323 milliamp hour battery however even though it's smaller in most cases
it gets better battery life whether that's me using it or tests from phone buff Phone
Arena or Mr who's the boss typically the I iPhone will get one and a half to three hours
better battery life if you're using it for the same exact task however in my day-to-day
use depending on what I'm doing I'll get better battery life usually on the pixel by a little
bit but I don't use it as heavily as the iPhone as far as messaging so with regular use using
both I get about 50 percent the iPhone 40 to 50 by the time I go to bed the battery
on the pixel will be about fifty percent as well so I find that I have really similar
experiences now if I'm heavily using the pixel for photo and video well then yes I'm going
to see less battery life on it but they're close enough and they charge fast enough that
it's really not too much of a concern as long as you can get to a charger as far as the
overall OS of course this is very subjective but I like both of them however I think Android
right now with Android 13 on the pixel with its monthly updates that are pretty standard
on the first Monday of every month security updates feature drops and more I do find that
it's more stable at this point iPhone has become less and less stable with more and
more bugs however I think they'll fix that but at this point Apple supports their phones
for many years five to seven years pixel is supported for four or five years typically
depending on what you're doing with it overall features typically trickle down every month
to pixel and iPhone depending on the overall updates so in that sense they're both really
good and well supported at this point however the iPhone seems to have little bugs here
and there crashes stutters as I showed you during the gameplay comparison and of course
you have more customization on the pixel than you do with the iPhone with theming and more
however we're getting more and more with always on display and different lock screen configurations
and it really just comes down to what you prefer in my case I usually use the iPhone
because my family has iPhones all of my family many of them probably 15 plus total people
that I talk to all have iPhones except one so group chats are just easier and using things
like find my for my family is easier to manage so I usually use an iPhone for all of my chat
needs however when I'm watching media and doing different things I typically pick up
the pixel both of them are great and I think for the operating system it just really comes
down to which one you prefer most people that start with an iPhone continue on an iPhone
the same is true with Android if you really like customization Android it's the way to
go if you want things maybe some better apps from time to time or more standardization
and interaction with maybe a Mac or iPad I would pick an iPhone it really doesn't matter
too much but if you use a Windows computer the integration is great with Android these
days with the overall messaging app or Whatsapp or whatever you're using both experiences
are really really good on both and I don't think I have a complaint on either of course
if you use an Apple Watch go on an iPhone and of course we have a pixel watch now for
the pixel but if you wanted an Apple Watch you have to use an iPhone if you use any of
Apple's ecosystem of course you're going to want to stick with iPhone but Android is really
good and if it had iMessage I would probably use the pixel full time for most things I
do but let me know which one you prefer and why in the comments below both are great I
picked the iPhone for now just for my personal needs but let me know which one works best
for you and also again which camera did you prefer in the different comparisons if you
haven't subscribed already though please subscribe and if you enjoyed the video please give it
a like as always thanks for watching this is Aaron I'll see you next time [Music]
