Comparison review
IPhone 8 has a global score of 85, which is a bit better than the Google Pixel's 80.2 overall score. IPhone 8's construction is newer and thinner than Google Pixel's, but it's just a little heavier. The iPhone 8 has a greater performance than Google Pixel, because although it has lesser RAM memory, it also counts with a larger number of cores (and faster) and a 64-bit processing unit.
IPhone 8 features a screen that is just as good as the Google Pixel one, although the iPhone 8 has a way lower display density, a way lower resolution of 750 x 1334 pixels and a quite smaller display. The iPhone 8 has a much bigger memory to install applications and games or saving photos and videos than Google Pixel, because it has 128 GB more internal memory.
The Google Pixel has a very superior battery duration than Apple iPhone 8, because it has a 2770mAh battery capacity. IPhone 8 captures slightly better photographs and videos than Google Pixel, because although it has a much smaller camera sensor giving a way lower image quality, a worse 12 mega-pixels resolution back facing camera and a worse 3840x2160 video quality, it also counts with a larger aperture to capture better low-light photos and video.
Although Apple iPhone 8 is a better device, it is a lot more expensive than Google Pixel, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as Google Pixel. So if you want that extra features, you can buy the Apple iPhone 8, but if you don't you can save a couple dollars and buy the Google Pixel, letting go some features and specs.
