Comparison review
The Google Pixel has a score of 80.2, which is just a bit better than OnePlus 8 UW's general score of 75.9. The Google Pixel body is a lot lighter than the OnePlus 8 UW, but it's a little thicker and was released many years before. OnePlus 8 UW features a bit sharper screen than Google Pixel, because although it has a bit worse pixel number per screen inch, it also counts with a slightly better resolution of 1080 x 2400 and a larger display.
The OnePlus 8 UW's storage for apps and games is just as good as Google Pixel's one, they have equal internal storage. The OnePlus 8 UW has a little faster processor than Google Pixel, because it has a greater number of cores (and they are faster) and 4 GB more RAM. The OnePlus 8 UW features a superior battery performance than Google Pixel, because it has a 4300mAh battery capacity.
OnePlus 8 UW counts with a lot better camera than Google Pixel, and although they both have the same 3840x2160 video resolution, the OnePlus 8 UW also has a back-facing camera with much more megapixels, a bigger aperture, higher 60 fps video frame rates and a larger sensor taking higher quality videos and pictures.
In addition to being the best phone of the ones we compare here, the Google Pixel is also a bargain compared to others, making this phone an obvious call.
