I think that a couple of people are wondering what phone to get between the iPhone 11 (regular one) and Pixel 4 (or 4 XL) as they are pretty much at the same price and they are very capable in the Camera department (but not only).

When comparing I am thinking of the following pros for each phone (side of their great camera)

- The iPhone 11 offers iOS and Apple Eco System, Ultra Wide camera, great battery life, video capabilities, great choice of colors
- The Pixel 4 offers Pure Android experience, OLED Screen and 90 Hz Fast Charger in the box, 'pocketable' ize (for the non XL),

- The iPhone 11 is starting at £729 with 64gb of storage in the UK and the Pixel 4 is starting at £669 with 64gb of storage too.

- I believe some will be preferring one or the other in term of camera performances and how they handle pictures.

What do you think? And what phone would you pick and why?

it has last year’s Snapdragon 855, not the 855+, no 60fps 4k video, no fingerprint scanner, no dongle or headphones, no wide angle camera.... Sounds like a real bargain at £929/$1200 for 128 GB.

Unless you love stock android I can’t see hardly any reasons why you would pick a pixel 4 over the 11

11 has ultra wide and 4K at 60. The front facing is better than anything the pixel has

Their motion features just seem like gimmicks..which from early reviews don’t even work

Sure camera is great but so is the 11

The design is dated and generic. Small battery on a 90hz screen - good luck with that. Lack of Extra Wide Angle lens is a huge miss plus why such a huge forehead in 2019? Better Androids to be had for the same amount of money.

Early photo comparisons show iPhone 11 already beating Pixel 4 in terms of photography. Video is still poor on Pixel 4. No 4k60.

If your hand is close enough to wave at it, you're close enough to go ahead and just tap the damn screen. It just seems like the radar solved a first world problem to me. I'll give it credit where it unlocks as soon as you pick up the phone though.

It's still not even close the regular 11 is the better phone.
