Pixel 2 XL vs. iPhone X: The best of the best

If Google wants to be the best, it has to beat the best. As far as many people are concerned, the iPhone X is the most advanced smartphone money can buy. So, does the Pixel 2 XL stand a chance?

That’s a tough question to answer, especially considering the devices are so different. Take iOS and Android out of the equation, and each phone has its own merits: the Pixel 2 XL has an active frame, front-facing stereo speakers, powerful specs, and 12-megapixel camera with optical image stabilization. The iPhone X, meanwhile, features wireless charging, laptop-grade specs, advanced facial recognition technology, and a dual-camera setup.

In terms of raw power, Apple’s latest flagship may come out on top. Analysts believe the iPhone X’s Face ID feature is years ahead of the competition, while the A11 Bionic chip is incredibly powerful. But the Pixel 2 XL is no slouch.

What makes the Pixel 2 XL standout is its Google-specific perks, clean Android software, and active frame technology. When the HTC U11 launched, the squeezable frame features wound up being odd and gimicky, but Google may have executed a more elegant implementation.

We’ll get a much better idea how these two compare when we have both of them side-by-side. For now, you can see how they look on paper in the table down below.
