Comparison review
The iPhone 8 Plus has a score of 87.1, which is a bit better than the Google Pixel's general score of 80.2. Even though iPhone 8 Plus is extremely heavier than the Google Pixel, it's thinner and also newer. IPhone 8 Plus features a quite better hardware performance than Google Pixel, because although it has a smaller amount of RAM, it also counts with a higher number of cores and a 64-bit CPU.
IPhone 8 Plus counts with a little sharper screen than Google Pixel, because although it has a just a little inferior pixel count per inch in the screen, and they both have exactly the same 1080 x 1920px resolution, the iPhone 8 Plus also counts with a bit bigger screen. IPhone 8 Plus shoots slightly better photographs and videos than Google Pixel, because although it has a much tinier camera sensor taking lot worse quality pictures, a worse video quality and a lower 12 mega-pixels resolution camera in the back, it also counts with a larger aperture to capture better photography in poorly lited environments.
The iPhone 8 Plus has a much greater memory capacity for applications, games, photos and videos than Google Pixel, because it has more internal memory capacity. Google Pixel counts with just a bit longer battery life than Apple iPhone 8 Plus, because it has 2770mAh of battery capacity instead of 2691mAh.
Although Apple iPhone 8 Plus is a better device, it costs a lot more than Google Pixel, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as the Google Pixel. If you prefer to save some money, you can get the Google Pixel, and give up a few specs and features, but you will get the most with your budget.
