The Google Pixel 7 Pro has finally hitten the shelves in the global market and its specifications are simply amazing. It comes with flagship-class hardware, a top-tier display, one of the best camera departments ever, and even a big battery. Last but not least, it gets supported directly by Google, so it will get one of the longest software supports ever. A few days ago, another long-lasting phone in terms of software support made its debut: the iPhone 14 Plus. It is not a Pro variant of the 14 series, but it is still an advanced flagship and it replaces the Mini variant in the iPhone flagship lineup for the first time. Given that its price is closer to the Pixel than the ones of the Pro iPhones from the latest series, a lot of people are wondering which device they should go for. Here is a comparison between the main specifications of the iPhone 14 Plus and the Google Pixel 7 Pro which will answer this question in the best way possible.

Design

The Google Pixel 7 Pro has definitely a more original design. It is one of the few flagships in the market with a horizontal camera module. The phone is made of premium materials including glass for the back and aluminum for the frame, and it is waterproof with the IP68 certification. The iPhone 14 Plus has a similar design to the iPhone 12 and 13 lineups, with a notch and a square-shaped camera module, but it comes with the better build quality. Its rear side is made with Ceramic Shield, the frame is made of aluminum, and the phone offers better water resistance with the IP68 certification allowing you to put it underwater up to 6 meters deep for a max time of 30 minutes. Do you prefer the original design of the Pixel or the iconic one of the latest Apple iPhone?

 

Display

Both handsets come with stunning displays. With the Google Pixel 7 Pro, you get an AMOLED panel with a diagonal of 6.7 inches, a higher Quad HD+ resolution of 1440 x 3120 pixels, the LTPO technology enabling an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz, the HDR10+ certification, and a peak brightness of 1,500 nits. The iPhone 14 Plus has a Super Retina XDR OLED with a diagonal of 6.7 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1284 x 2778 pixels, HDR10 certification, and Dolby Vision support. What makes me go for the Pixel is the presence of a high refresh rate, while the iPhone 14 Plus, even though it is a 2022 flagship, still comes with 60 Hz. Note that the Google flagship has an in-display fingerprint reader to unlock the phone, while the iPhone relies on Face ID for authentication, which is 3D facial recognition.

 

Specs & Software

These two handsets are not so different in terms of hardware and performance. The Google Pixel 7 Pro sports the new Google Tensor G2 chipset built with a 5 nm production process and sporting an octa-core architecture including two Cortex X2 CPUs running at a max frequency of 2.85 GHz, two Cortex A78 CPUs running at 2.35 GHz, three Cortex A55 CPUs running at 1.8 GHz, and a Mali G710 MC10 GPU. The chipset is paired with 12 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. The iPhone 14 Plus has a proprietary Apple A15 Bionic chipset built with the same production process and with the same octa-core architecture, but sporting two Avalance CPUs running at a max frequency of 3.23 GHz, four Blizzard CPUs running at 1.82 GHz, and an Apple 5-core GPU. This SoC is paired with 6 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of native storage. Given that the Pixel runs Android 13 and iPhone 14 Plus runs iOS 16, the latter has better software optimization, so having just 6 GB of RAM is not a disadvantage.

 

Camera

The Google Pixel 7 Pro beats the iPhone 14 Plus when it comes to the cameras. On the rear side, it has three sensors: a 50 MP main camera with OIS, a 48 MP telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom, and a 12 MP ultrawide camera. The iPhone 14 Plus has just two 12 MP sensors: the main camera and an ultrawide lens, and it lacks a telephoto camera. There is definitely no challenge.

 

Battery

The Google Pixel 7 Pro has a bigger 5000 mAh battery on board, but despite that, the iPhone 14 Plus is able to last more in a lot of scenarios thanks to the better optimization of the iOS operating system.

 

Price

The Google Pixel 7 Pro carries a starting price tag of €899 in Europe and $799 in the U.S. while the iPhone 14 Plus starts from €1,150 in several European zones and from $899 in the U.S. The Google Pixel 7 Pro wins this comparison thanks to its better cameras and high refresh rate, but several people may prefer the iPhone due to iOS, better build quality, and long battery life.
