Comparison review
The iPhone XS is a little bit better than Google Pixel, having an 84.2 score against 80.2. The iPhone XS body is newer and thinner, but heavier than Google Pixel. The iPhone XS counts with a little bit better screen than Google Pixel, because it has a quite better number of pixels in each screen inch, a slightly higher 1125 x 2436 resolution and a larger display.
The Google Pixel counts with a much greater storage capacity to install applications and games than iPhone XS, because it has 128 GB internal storage. Apple iPhone XS features a better performance than Google Pixel, and although they both have a 4 GB RAM memory, the Apple iPhone XS also has a 64-bit processing unit and 2 more processing cores.
The Google Pixel features just a bit better battery lifetime than iPhone XS, because it has a 2770mAh battery size against 2659mAh. The iPhone XS takes clearer pictures and videos than Google Pixel, because although it has a lower (4K) video definition, a smaller sensor which offers a lower image and video quality and a camera in the back with lesser mega pixels resolution, it also counts with a bigger aperture for better photos and videos in low-light environments.
Although Apple iPhone XS is a better device, it is way more expensive than Google Pixel, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as Google Pixel. If you prefer to save a few dollars, you can get Google Pixel, letting go a couple features and specs, but you will get the most out of your budget.
