More Similar Than Different? Google Pixel 4 vs. iPhone 11 Pro

It will cost you at least $200 more to buy the iPhone 11 Pro over the Google Pixel 4, begging the question: is it worth it? The first thing that jumps to mind when analyzing these two products is the similarity in design. Both have a similar rounded square camera at the top left, the same IP68 durability rating (able to endure water submersion, as well as glass on both the front and back of each device. In terms of system navigability as well as processing performance, the two products have never been more comparable. With both iOS 13 and Android 10 software at peak performance, product preference truly lies with the consumer, either based on past preference or present opinion.

Both companies have evidently compared their products before, aiming to take key features that may be missing on their own respective products in an effort to close the gap and gain an edge over one another.

One of the biggest changes in the iPhone is the new “triple-lens rear camera”, offering unparalleled color and clarity, as well as “night-mode”. Furthermore, the iPhone has a 12-megapixel front camera lens, while the Pixel’s front camera only has 8 megapixels. Google has held the competitive advantage over Apple in terms of camera capabilities, however, this may be the first year that is no longer the case.

While Apple improved their camera, Google focused its attention on the addition of the new face unlock, which puts the product more closely in-line with the iPhone and its facial recognition capabilities.

Overall, both companies have made a variety of improvements to their new mobile products, making each a premium product within the industry. The difference between the two products is more-so related to the software and platform, rather than the physical device. The reality of today’s market holds that consumers will continue purchasing the brands they have grown comfortable to in the past, indicating that past Google customers will buy the Pixel 4 and vice versa for Apple consumers.
