This year Google did even more serious things than last year by releasing the new Google Pixel 7 Pro. While last year Big G came up with its first flagship after a lot of time not releasing any, this year the new flagship is even more outstanding and it retains a very affordable price if compared to flagships from the other brands, even though it remains a top-tier phone. But with that price, is it really able to compete with the iPhone 14 Pro? Is it worth spending more for the Apple flagship or you can save a lot of money by purchasing the Pixel while still getting a very high quality? This is a comparison between the main specifications of the iPhone 14 Pro and the Google Pixel 7 Pro which will hopefully help you find out. Note that the opinions in this comparison are also valid for the iPhone 14 Pro Max with the exception of the dimensions, the display diagonal, and the battery capacity, which are bigger on the Pro Max variant.

Design

Which design should you prefer? It is mostly a matter of taste. I personally prefer the iPhone 14 Pro for several reasons. First of all, it is way more compact, thanks to the presence of a smaller display. Further, it is built with better materials including glass for the back protected by Ceramic Shield and stainless steel for the frame. It even offers better water resistance with the IP68 certification allowing you to put it underwater up to 6 meters deep. Further, it comes with the iconic Dynamic Island, not liked by everyone but is a very futuristic feature. On the other hand, the Google Pixel 7 Pro offers a very original design including a horizontal bar for the rear cameras made of recycled material. It is built with a glass back and an aluminum frame, and it is waterproof with the IP68 certification allowing you to put it underwater up to 1.5 meters deep for a max time of 30 minutes.

 

Display

Here is a very hard fight since both phones come with outstanding flagship-class displays. Here, I would primarily choose by basing on the display diagonal: the iPhone 14 Pro has a compact 6.1-inch panel, while the Google Pixel 7 Pro has a big 6.7-inch panel: if you want a new phone for productivity, then the latter is a better choice in terms of display. For the rest, they both offer amazing displays, even though the iPhone 14 Pro should be slightly better. The Pixel has an AMOLED panel with a Quad HD+ resolution of 1440 x 3120 pixels, the LTPO technology enabling an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz, HDR10+ certification, an in-display fingerprint reader, and Gorilla Glass Victus protection. The iPhone 14 Pro has a Super Retina XDR OLED display with a Full HD+ resolution of 1179 x 2556 pixels, an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz, HDR10 certification, Dolby Vision support, as well as Ceramic Shield protection. In Dynamic Island, there are hardware sensors for Face ID, which is 3D facial recognition.

 

Specs & Software

The hardware of the iPhone 14 Pro is more convincing if paired with the amazing optimization of the iOS operating system. It is fueled by the Apple A16 Bionic built with a 4 nm production process and sporting an hexa-core architecture including two Blizzard performance cores running at a max frequency of 3.46 GHz, four Sawtooth energy cores running at 2.02 GHz, and a 5-core proprietary GPU. The SoC is paired with 6 GB of RAM and up to 1 TB of internal storage. The Google Pixel 7 Pro runs Android 13 out of the box and it is powered by the Google Tensor G2 mobile platform. It is a chipset built with a 5 nm production process and composed of two Cortex X1 CPUs running at a max frequency of 2.85 GHz, two Cortex A78 CPUs running at 2.35 GHz, four Cortex A55 running at 1.8 GHz, and a Mali G710 MC10. Alongside the chipset, there are 12 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of UFS 3.1 native storage.

 

Camera

According to the experts of DxOMark, the Google Pixel 7 Pro is the best camera phone ever. It has a triple rear camera including a 50 MP main sensor with OIS and laser autofocus, a 48 MP telephoto camera with OIS and 5x optical zoom, and a 12 MP ultrawide sensor. The iPhone 14 Pro may not be the best ever, but it is still in the first places of the ranking with its 48 MP main camera paired with two 12 MP sensors for zoom and ultrawide shots.

 

Battery

The Google Pixel 7 Pro has a much bigger battery than the iPhone 14 Pro Max: if you want a comparable battery life from an Apple device, then you should go for the Pro Max.

 

Price

The iPhone 14 Pro starts from €1300 or $1300 in Europe (prices vary depending on the market), while the Google Pixel 7 Pro costs just €899 or $899. Which one would you pick?
