        Anonymous, 24 Oct 2018IPhone also beats Android in controls as well, Android k... moreAndroid is incapable of producing and showing animations more than 60fps

        Also since it's based upon monolithic platform called Linux, ( monolithic means boring up entire Kernel during startup which is resource hungry)

        That's why even if you add 32 gb RAM or give it a 5nm SoC it can't stop laughing

        Think of Qualcomm as a 6.0 V12 engine and the phone chassis as an outer shell of a Lamborghini, so the Lamborghini is a super fast car, but it is unable to run its full potential is a gravel ( take gravel as Android OS) so the Lamborghini has to run on tarmac ( take ypcoming Fuschia OS as enable of tarmac) in order to reach full potential

        In other words Android Hardware is more than a match for Apple, but sadly unlike iOS which is a superior OS(the way it handle resources,) Current Android Hardware is crippled by Android OS!!

          damn google got smashed so hard android users can feel it.

            Reading all these Android fans bleating like sheep at the iPhone absolutely smoking the Pixel is so beautiful. I love it.

            Android can literally do no wrong. The fricken company that MAKES Android + develops the phone, Google, can't get their own phone to handle these mundane tasks?

            "No one uses their phone like this"
            Well then why do you all give so much of a sh1t about the RAM in the iPhone and the apparently inferior specs? It smokes the Pixel. Absolutely smokes it.

            You're embarrassing yourselves.

              dvdivx, 23 Oct 2018Google made an ugly slow phone.They should compared the iPh... moreIf you want those 2nd tier phones to sell I advise you not to compare it to the iPhone.

                IPhone also beats Android in controls as well,

                Android keyboards are sluggish despite larger screen. Android gaming is like remote desktop gaming.. a distinctive lag input

                Rather buy a old iphone then a new android phone.

                Who cares about 120mhz refresh rate? When its controls is junk hahahaa. Face it! Android is only good for watching pirated korean dramas!!

                  So what are the benefits of having more RAM and better specs when it means you'll lose to something inferior like an iPhone?

                      Anonymous, 23 Oct 2018I agree too. It was really depressing to see pixel getting ... moreYeah everybody says "Oh it only needs 4GB Ram because its stock android" when in fact it's just a huge letdown. Especially at its price. Where I live a 3XL with 128/4GB is $1500, and feo the same price, so is the S9+ with 256/6GB

                          I/O and memory test again? Oh, c'mon gsmarena, you don't want Gary to slap on you for posting this, do you? Nobody uses phone like that.

                            Give an Android phone 32gb of RAM and still lag haha

                              Lol very embarrassing Google, very... This you can do better, but actually not.

                                C'mon Google recall them and add 2GB RAM and a proper audio microphone array.

                                  Ray, 23 Oct 2018That price was and is temporal due to the throttle skandal... morei just change my 6s battery for $9 xd

                                    KamAbdi, 23 Oct 2018Now you want to change the conversation. I clarified it t... moreThere's no need to send any videos, i've seen plenty. If you open small apps the open time can go both ways, the bigger the app or game is or heavier the task is the better iPhone power shows. Phnoebuff tests are good because they do both sides, first they open those small apps and then some heavy task and then opening heavy games and few small apps and then second round is for ram management which can still change the direction.

                                    Also there's no human error in test

                                      Duel83, 23 Oct 2018"My point is clear. The 4GB is enough but people will alway... moreNow you want to change the conversation.
                                      I clarified it to you and I wasn't liying or guessing about the iPhone reloaded and I will rewatch my videos and I will send it to you I promise you have my word.

                                      I'm not playing guess and this is the truth but your too blind to see the facts.
                                      OK if the 4GB isn't enough, why does the iPhone have a better Ram mangment??
                                      Because the iPhone was bad 3 GB of Ram and was.

                                      These are not guess, you want to see one thing and get attached on it when clearly there is a lot of reasons that the saying the 4GB is enough and your here again contradicting youself.

                                      Also the systems gets updated and will be fixed, which isn't a big deal.
                                      Yes the XZ3 lost in Ram management but clearly beated the whole phone in most of the aspects so you can say the iPhone did better here but I promise to send you that video

                                        KamAbdi, 23 Oct 2018My point is clear. The 4GB is enough but people will always... more"My point is clear. The 4GB is enough but people will always buy phone with 6GB of Ram because of the same price."

                                        Well clearly it isn't, i saw very bad ram management, again you start this guessing game when facts are front of you, it might get fixed, it might be software issue etc. Lot of ifs again, but the reality is that users having bad performance with their expensive phones and they can't do anything about it.
