A lot of people consider giants like Samsung, Xiaomi, and OPPO as the main rivals of Apple, but they forget another important technology giant which could be considered the main rival of Apple on the software side if we talk about mobile phones. We are talking about Google, the company which develops the Android operating system. And given that Apple devices come with iOS, the reasons to consider it as a rival are pretty obvious. This year, Google released a top-tier flagship: the Google Pixel 6 Pro. This is the reason why it is now able to perfectly compete with Apple in the flagship segment. Is it better to choose an Apple flagship or a Google flagship? There is no better way to understand it than a comparison. Here is a comparison between the main specifications of the Apple iPhone 14 Pro and the Google Pixel 6 Pro. Note that what we say in this comparison would be the same if you replace the iPhone 14 Pro with the iPhone 14 Pro Max, with the exception of the battery and the display size.

Design

Which phone has the best design? It is mostly a matter of taste: I personally prefer the iPhone 14 Pro, but Google did a great job by releasing a flagship with one of the most original designs out there. The new iPhone 14 Pro is the first Apple device with the Dynamic Island: it ditches the notch in favor of a pill shaped punch hole that can also show info from apps and more. It has higher built quality as it is built with Ceramic Shield glass and a stainless steel frame, and it also features better water resistance with the IP68 certification and the ability to go underwater up to 6 meters deep for a max time of 30 minutes. The Google Pixel 6 Pro is way bigger than its rival from Apple, but it comes with very narrow bezels and an original rear side. It is built with a glass back protected by Gorilla Glass Victus, it has an aluminum frame, and the IP68 certification (up to 1.5 meters for a max time of 30 minutes).

 

Display

It is a very hard fight between the displays of these two phones. The Apple iPhone 14 Pro has a Super Retina XDR OLED display with a diagonal of 6.1 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1179 x 2556 pixels, the LTPO technology enabling an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz, the HDR10 certification, Dolby Vision support, and a peak brightness of up to 2,000 nits. The Google Pixel 6 Pro has an AMOLED display with a wider 6.71-inch diagonal, a Quad HD+ resolution of 1440 x 3120 pixels, an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz, the HDR10+ certification, and an in-display fingerprint reader. I personally prefer the Google Pixel 6 Pro because of its wider diagonal, better for productivity and gaming, but the iPhone 14 Pro might provide way higher image quality.

 

Specs & Software

Both these phones are equipped with a flagship-class hardware department, but the Apple iPhone 14 Pro should be able to provide higher performance in a lot of scenarios thanks to the great optimization of the iOS operating system. It is powered by the Apple A16 Bionic mobile platform built with a 4 nm production process and sporting an octa-core architecture with two performance cores running at a max frequency of 3.46 GHz, two energy cores running at 2.02 GHz, and a 5-core proprietary graphics unit. The chipset comes with 6 GB of RAM and up to 1 TB of native storage depending on the chosen configuration. The Google Pixel 6 Pro gets a Google Tensor chipset built at 5 nm and with an octa-core architecture, as well as a max clock frequency of 2.8 GHz. The chipset is paired with 12 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of native storage. The iPhone runs iOS 16 and it will get the longest software support Apple is able to provide, while the Pixel runs Android 12 and it will get the same from Google.

 

Camera

Both these phones feature astonishing camera setups as well as amazing software to manage these cameras. The iPhone 14 Pro is the first iPhone with a 48 MP main camera and it also comes with a telephoto sensor and an ultrawide lens with 12 MP resolution. The Google Pixel 6 Pro sports a 50 MP main camera with OIS, a 48 MP telephoto sensor with 4x optical zoom, and an ultrawide lens with a 12 MP resolution. Which one will shoot the best photos? It is yet to be discovered.

 

Battery

The battery found on the Google Pixel 6 Pro is much bigger than the one found on the iPhone 14 Pro. With a capacity of 5003 mAh, it lasts definitely longer on a single charge in a lot of scenarios. On the other hand, if you need a bigger battery on an Apple device, you can choose the iPhone 14 Pro Max providing an even longer battery life.

 

Price

The iPhone 14 Pro starts from $1300 or €1300, while the Google Pixel 6 Pro carries a starting price tag of €900 or $900 (prices vary depending on the market). Which one would you pick?
