Tencent Digital (Compiled: Mi Ke) Google's latest Pixel XL shows its vision for "native Android" devices, but compared to the old rival Apple iPhone 7 Plus, whether it is speed, lack of OIS optical image stabilization, dual cameras, The wider color gamut of the screen compared to stereo speakers still has a certain gap.
Of course, compared with Android's own camp, the lack of features such as microSD card expansion and removable batteries also makes Pixel XL look "flying in the ointment."
Pricing similar to iPhone 7 Plus
In the previous Nexus, Google has always been known as "affordable". This time, Pixel XL, which was produced by HTC OEM, basically reached the same level as Apple's. The starting price of 32GB was 769 US dollars (approximately RMB 5,130), and the same price of US$ 100 provided a 128GB version. , but there is no 256GB capacity that the iPhone 7 Plus has.
Even more noteworthy is that Google's new flagship lacks support for microSD card expansion. Although the iPhone has never provided such features, the microSD extension has always been seen as an advantage of Android over the iPhone. Samsung also canceled support for the microSD extension before, and later after hearing a lot of users' "complaints", it began to regain this feature from the Galaxy S7 Edge.
At the same time, the Pixel XL has 4GB of RAM, which is only 1GB more than the iPhone 7 Plus's 3GB. As we all know, the Android system consumes a lot of RAM. According to third-party tests, the Android system runs four times more RAM resources than the iOS system when running software, especially games.
In the past few years, although Apple's A-series processors have a lower clock speed, they tend to outperform Android models with higher clock speeds in some running points, mainly due to Apple’s system. And processor optimization.
Pixel XL's processor is responsible for the 3.6-megapixel screen, and the iPhone 7 Plus's screen pixel is 2 million. The difference between the two is actually very difficult to distinguish between the naked eye, but it does add a greater burden to the Pixel XL processor. .
camera
At the conference, Google took the initiative to introduce the Pixel XL to the highest score from the DXOMark website. However, the iPhone 7 Plus has not yet been tested by DxOMark. Therefore, the future results are not yet very good.
In fact, the figure below is a comparison of the two flagships of Pixel XL and iPhone 7 Plus. From the picture, Pixel XL's detail processing in the shadow is not as good as iPhone 7 Plus.
Although the Pixel XL lacks greater aperture and OIS anti-shake capabilities, the overall imaging experience is essentially consistent with the iPhone 7 Plus in well-lit conditions.
Pixel XL also lacks the dual camera feature of the iPhone 7 Plus, and therefore does not have a 2x optical zoom and portrait mode that will be added through system updates. At the same time, the four flash units of the iPhone 7 Plus are better than the Pixel XL.
Therefore, on the premise of the same price, although Pixel XL told the world that they had the highest score of DxOMark test at the press conference, it had to wait until the comparison of the prototype of the real machine to get the most definitive conclusion.
Screen gamut
Although DisplayMate does not test Pixel XL, the Android system itself distinguishes the support of the DCI-P3 wide color gamut, which is the biggest advantage of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.
The wider color gamut can show more colors. The iPhone's camera can more accurately restore the screen's primary colors through the wide color gamut mode. Apple's operating system itself also supports a wider color gamut and can be used by developers. At present, Google does not have any hardware or software support to support the DCI wide color gamut, of course, including Pixel XL.
DisplayMate once said after testing the iPhone 7 Plus that due to the accuracy of the color display, the presentation of visual effects is better than most displays, TVs or UHD devices. At the same time, Pixel XL, which was jointly developed by Google and HTC, is inferior to Samsung or Apple’s flagship in the color gamut.
Tactile feedback and 3D Touch
Although rumors have long been circulating that the Android model will incorporate haptic feedback, the Pixel XL still has no similar features that Apple has equipped on the iPhone 6s.
At the same time, Pixel XL lacks the 3D Touch functionality provided by the Taptic Engine on the iPhone 7, and this feature can provide a wider range of tactile feedback and customization capabilities, even in the Home button also use this technology. The Pixel XL still only provides basic touch vibration functions.
Since 3D Touch or haptic feedback is a hardware feature, Pixel XL will not be able to add this feature in the future through system updates.
Stereo speakers
Apple iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are equipped with dual speakers, which can bring a certain stereo effect, and Pixel XL still uses a single speaker design.
Although Google emphasized that Pixel XL did not abandon the headset interface, but iPhone 7 has a dedicated 3.5mm adapter. At the same time, the new design Lightning interface can also be used in a humid environment.
Although Pixel XL is equipped with a USB Type-C interface, it is currently somewhat difficult to find new data lines due to its low penetration rate. Apple has switched to the Lightning interface since 2012, so the number of Lightning devices currently exceeds 1 billion, making it easy to find third-party accessories and adapters. Currently, only some of the flagship Android models are equipped with a USB Type-C interface. Therefore, if you want to borrow a friend's data cable, you must also check whether the other party uses a new mobile phone.
Pixel XL's battery capacity is 19% larger than the iPhone 7 Plus, and it also supports fast charging technology, which is an advantage. However, for Android users, the battery can not be replaced, so that Android has no other advantage in the face of the iPhone.
Google mobile phone is always "error constantly"
As a competitor to the iPhone, Google’s first-generation smart phone was introduced in 2008 and is also produced by HTC, named G1 Magic. This is the first Google's own Android smart phone, and is equipped with an interesting trackball and physical keyboard as the main input method, but does not support multi-touch.
At the time, the G1 lacked a headphone jack, and it was necessary to connect the adapter through a special ExtUSB port to insert the headphone. And then Google's next-generation G1 Dream uses the same design without a physical keyboard, but the headset interface is restored.
A year later, Google released a new generation of HTC OEM model Nexus One, and in the same year introduced the Android 2.0 system. The Nexus One retains the trackball design and then uses the native Android system to provide the purest experience, but still lacks a physical keyboard and a standardized headphone jack.
At the end of 2010, Google brought Android 2.3 and its new partner Samsung. The Nexus S was only a duplicate of the Galaxy S and caused a plagiarism of Samsung. In the same year, Samsung and Apple’s “Century Lawsuit†began. Now.
Samsung retained its own Galaxy and named the product Galaxy Nexus. In 2011, Google acquired Motorola and possessed hardware manufacturing and design capabilities. In fact, Google can completely begin to rely on Motorola's resources and capabilities to redesign smart phones, and more in line with their vision and development plan for Android devices.
In 2012, Google as a transition partnered with LG to launch Nexus 4, but it triggered a tension between itself and Samsung, the largest Android OEM, and attracted many users with a low price of $299. In 2014 and 2015, Google continued to cooperate with LG to launch the Nexus 5 and Nexus 5X.
Motorola Mobility officially became a subsidiary of Google in 2013, but Moto X did not succeed, and the price was reduced from the original 550 US dollars to 399 US dollars, and Google lost as much as 700 million US dollars in the acquisition of Motorola in just six months time In 2014, Google changed Motorola to Lenovo.
In fact, Moto X also reflects a good idea in a sense, but Google still does not regard it as "pro-son", or treat it with Motorola. Confusingly, Google did not directly participate in and manufacture its own Nexus smartphone, and it still took the form of a contract with a third-party company. This made Nexus always lose its own characteristics in hardware.
In fact, each Nexus has not achieved particularly good results, and Google has never intended to establish close links between products and partners, Google did not do a good job of propaganda, while the price advantage is gradually losing.
In fact, from the failure of Moto X, we can also see some of Google's style. Google just wants to show as many of their own software and services on Moto X, but it has never paid much attention to the hardware. After Motorola was sold to Lenovo, it completely covered the product line from the flagship to the low-end, and also achieved good results.
In addition to building a Nexus 5x with LG in 2015, Google also teamed up with Huawei to launch the Nexus 6P. The relationship between Google and the two companies is still not much change, Google still focuses on the system and platform, the hardware is more widely.
According to Android Police's sources, Google originally hoped to launch a successor to the Nexus 6P. However, as Google finally began to emphasize its own brand, Huawei declined to cooperate with Google, and we did not see the new Nexus 6P.
With the help of the recent HTC, Google brought new Pixels and Pixel XLs, even though the new Pixels made a comeback, and this time it was Google who personally took charge of the design and development of the hardware, but whether it will succeed in the future. Challenge the iPhone 7 is still unknown.
