Comparison review

Google Pixel 2 has a superior memory capacity to store more games and applications than Apple iPhone 5s, because it has more internal storage capacity. Google Pixel 2 and iPhone 5s both count with really similar processing units, because although the Google Pixel 2 has a 32-bits processor instead of 64-bits and doesn't have a graphics processing unit, it also counts with a larger number of faster cores and more RAM.
Google Pixel 2 counts with a much longer battery life than iPhone 5s, because it has a 2700mAh battery capacity against 1570mAh. The Google Pixel 2 captures better pictures and videos than Apple iPhone 5s, because it has a lot higher 12.2 mega pixels resolution camera in the back, a bigger camera aperture for better images and videos in low light situations, a much better (4K) video definition and a bigger sensor.
