Comparison in full size: Pixel 3, Galaxy S9, iPhone XS and Pocophone F1

After much mystery that in the end was only to disguise true leaks , Google officialized the new Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL . Bringing democratic options, the smaller of them does not have notch , and the greater, yes.

The company made the curious decision to keep both with a single lens at the rear, even Sony's market position until recently. It is a fact that with the line, the search giant has managed to make Pixel recognized not only for the fine line between the elegance and the rustic of its design still with edges, but also for the competence of its lenses without having to sin for the excess of lenses .

Today we will compare the normal model with its main competitors in terms of hardware and size. Meet the following opponents:

Google Pixel 3 68.2 x 145.6 x 7.9 mm  5.5 inches - 2160x1080 px	Samsung Galaxy S9 68.7 x 147.7 x 8.5 mm  5.8 inches - 2960x1440 px	Apple iPhone XS 70.9 x 143.6 x 7.7 mm  5.8 inches - 2436x1125 px	Xiaomi Pocophone F1 75.2 x 155.5 x 8.8 mm  6.18 inches - 2246x1080 px

Starting from the screen, we are comparing three smartphones with notch, and one without. The Pixel 3 arrives without the famous notch and with an AMOLED screen that among the competitors is the smallest, but still does not offer the best density for content with fullHD +, while the Galaxy S9 - also AMOLED - brings a quadHD + display. The iPhone XS , like most Apple products, brings an eccentric resolution hard to frame, but still with a better density. In this respect, the Pixel 3 only wins from the Pocophone F1 , and could: the device, despite a top of the line, was made to save where it was possible.

As for the chipset that each carries, in the Android universe all have Snapdragon 845, and in the Brazilian market the S9 brings a proprietary equivalent of Samsung, the Exynos 9810. The iPhone XS brings the brand new A12 Bionic from Apple.

When we combine these features with how much RAM each offers, possible differences in performance become clearer: the Pocophone F1 has a 2GB edge compared to its competitors, and the iOS structure deals completely different with multi- tasks, then one has to conclude that unless the software work is badly done by the manufacturer, Xiaomi's smartphone has an advantage in dealing with many open programs and fluidity between them.

As for storage, the Pixel 3 and the iPhone XS can not have expanded memory, so it is necessary to pay attention to the purchase of a model that will meet your consumption needs. This however does not exist in the other two models.

When it comes to camera, the Pixel line is usually at home . It's still early days to find out if the smartphone will bring results every day as good as the products of 2017, but certainly the features announced for it today excite at first.

Google is so confident at that point in the gadgets that it made a point of keeping a single rear lens in both, which comes with 12.2 MP and has f / 1.8 aperture. This data alone does not surprise much, with many intermediaries already reaching this opening ability, and more: launched earlier this year, the Galaxy S9 remains unbeatable in this regard with a lens that reaches af / 1.5, a value that no manufacturer of industry has come to this day.

With so many tests already promoted with Samsung's flagship its hardware qualities have already been put to the test. In the next few weeks, Pixel 3's best expectations are to be confirmed. After all, more than hardware, a good software job is necessary, and in this Google always takes a heavy toll, and particularly in 2018 he added his powerful experience in artificial intelligence to make the smartphone a unique product.

On the front, the Pixel 3 features 8 MP with f / 1.8 aperture as its rear. Competitors stay on that average as well and only the S9 gets to have superior aperture, with f / 1.7. The Pocophone F1 arrives 20 MP resolution, but in f / 2.0.

As for the battery , the Google, Samsung and Apple mobile phones are close, with iOS having the worst capacity: they are only 2,658mAh, which even in terms of iOS - a system with a totally different structure - promises not to improve autonomy in the universe of Apple cell phones. The S9 has 3.000mAh and Pixel 3 2.915mAh, a good point for Pixel to run Android provided by the owner of the OS itself, which is not the case in the Galaxy universe, always very personalized by South Korea.

Did you miss Little F1? We saved it to the end. At 4,000mAh not even the Xiaomi customizations should be able to suck this tank so quickly. In fact, on the contrary, the MIUI usually helps in the autonomy. So this is an interesting category to take into account if you are looking for a top of the line.

Finally, both S9 and F1 leave the factory with Android 8.0 and 8.1 respectively. IPhone XS and Pixel 3 already have the 2018 systems: iOS 12 and Android 9. We have to remember that having an iPhone is guaranteed updates for a great time, just as this is also a security when We're talking about Pixels.

In the end, the most exciting part of Google's new smartphone is pending real-time testing, but what we can already conclude is that it is a competent device and perfectly at the same level of the main flagships of the market for its hardware and size.
