Thinking about getting a new iPhone or the Google Pixel

If you do get a pixel, better get the pro, the base model battery is traaaaash.

Otherwise get the iphone

I dunno, i'm at 57% battery with 10 hrs left
Seems good to me
Adaptive battery is a game changer

Once you've had both. The iPhone just feels like a toy.

Yup. iPhones still simple as shyt

i sat down with my 6 pro in my back pocket and the camera glass cracked. i was confused as shyt

Phone in back pocket is for women

pixel platform is amazing, the best. but my last few were fragile as all hell. plus when they have issues they are weird and serious issues

What kinda issues can come up?

Nowadays it's really about ecosystem and what your friends use. I will not leave iOS for the foreseeable future because of iMessage and Facetime. This is purely a personal choice.

How’s the video quality?

Pixel video quality is meh. LG had the best video recording quality but they're gone now. I'd say Samsung has the definite edge with video, and iPhone clearly beats Pixel. Pixel recording isn't awful or anything, it's just mediocre. They can do way better, but video is harder to jazz up with lower hardware than photo software.

Things can probably improve through the Pixel feature drops, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

I don't even know what adaptive battery is. It lasts the day, that's for sure, but its not up there with Samsung or iPhone battery life from what I can recall. If you're watching a lot of videostge battery doesn't seem long at all, same with when you're on data

This.

It's hard to leave one ecosystem for another after you've been in it for years. I am still contemplating the Fold 4 and leaving the iPhone ecosystem but its hard.
