Introduction
The two big names, Google and Apple have launched their brand new phones. Google launched Pixel 6 on 19th October 2021 while apple has brought in its iPhone 13 way back.
Confused about what to buy? We will give you a detailed comparison between the Pixel 6 and the iPhone 13, so you can pick the best phone for yourself.
Design
| Pixel 6 | iPhone 13 |
| 6.2 inches long and 2.9 inches wide | 5.78 inches long and 2.92 inches wide |
| 0.4 inches thick | 0.3 inches thick |
| 7.3 ounces | 6.14 ounces in weight |
| 6.4-inch display with HDR support | 6.1 inch super retina XDR display |
| tactile alloy frame | has an aerospace-grade aluminum frame |
Apart from the technical specifications, the iPhone 13 is a more compact device, with a premium in-hand feel. The Pixel-6 has a larger footprint overall. So if you are a compact phone user, or you love to operate your phone with just one hand, then the iPhone 13 is a better choice. But if a larger display is your priority, and you are not so fond of compact phones, then the Pixel 6 is the phone for you.
Processor/Performance

| uses google’s Tensor SoC | Apple A15 Bionic |
| 8 GB RAM | 4GB RAM |
| comes with two high-performance cores, two mid cores, and four high-efficiency cores. | 6 core processor with 4 core GPU |
| comes with a number of other elements to help with machine learning or other tasks. | Comes with an improved image signal processor to assist with computational photography. |
With the technical stuff out of the way, in terms of real-life usage, both phones are flagships, and a normal user would hardly face any lag. Performance on the iPhone 13 is really optimized, and it’s great for all kinds of users. The Pixel 6 is yet to be tested out, but based on the track record of previous pixel phones, we have high hopes, especially due to the introduction of the new tensor flow chip. So interms of raw-performance it’s hard to differentiate between these two phones.
Software

| Android 12 | iOS 15 |
In terms of software, it’s a simple choice between Android and iOS. It is completely the user’s preference, but however this time the Pixel 6 brings in the ‘material you’ feature on-board, thanks to the tensor flow chip. So the animations and the adaptive features on the Pixel are really intuitive.

As the Pixel devices are yet to be tested out it’s hard to comment on their cameras. The iPhone 13 has a great camera, both outdoors and indoors, in every lighting situation. But that said, the Pixel series is known for its software optimized camera. This time also Google has emphasized a lot on the computational photography part, so with advanced hardware, and software optimization, along with the capabilities of the new tensor flow chip, the cameras on the Pixel 6 should put up a great show.
