Comparison review
Google Pixel XL is just a bit better than iPhone SE, having an 81.3 score against 75.7. Despite being the best cellphone we compare here, the Google Pixel XL body is somewhat thicker and incredibly heavier than the iPhone SE. Google Pixel XL has a little better hardware performance than iPhone SE, because it has a larger amount of RAM memory and a larger number of cores.
Google Pixel XL features a bit more vivid screen than iPhone SE, because it has a much larger screen, a way better resolution of 1440 x 2560px and a way higher amount of pixels per display inch. The Google Pixel XL's memory capacity to install games and applications is just as good as the iPhone SE one, they have exactly the same 128 GB internal memory capacity.
Google Pixel XL shoots slightly better videos and photos than iPhone SE, and although they both have the same 3840x2160 (4K) video resolution and the same video frame rate, the Google Pixel XL also has a better 12.3 megapixels resolution back facing camera, a lot larger camera sensor which provides a way better photo and video quality and a larger diafragm aperture.
The Google Pixel XL counts with a really longer battery duration than iPhone SE, because it has 3450mAh of battery capacity.
Although Google Pixel XL is a better device, it costs a lot more than the Apple iPhone SE, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as Apple iPhone SE. If you want to save a few dollars, you can buy the Apple iPhone SE, giving up a couple features, but you will get the most with your savings.
