iPhone 12 or Pixel 5 ftw??

Heart says: iphone 12 Brain says: pixel 5 Wallet says: pixel 2

I just can't believe 800 dollar phones are now mid level lol

For me, the way Google presents the purist of Android is excellent!

The iPhone is a lovely phone but I'm just too used to android...I really dont think I could switch. So I would go for pixel 5❤✌🏾

First thing I noticed is all the " Google " apps on the iPhone. Lol.

Bro!! pixel is known for it's low light photography at low cost. You forgot to cover.

Pixel 5 here, and I love mine. Got it for $499 new without a contract on verizon. Cannot beat that price for these features. I'm a huge fan of stock Android, and getting quick updates. Also the pictures it takes is top notch, and even better than my fantastic pixel 3. The external finger print reader is a HUGE plus as well. Also, I'm getting 10+ hours of screen time on a charge, and 16+ hours use.

Watching on my pixel 5, while scrolling instagram.

How is the iPhone more natural? If I saw you with my own eyes you wouldn't look that bright that doesn't make any sense I think it's just an apple bias

Instead of asking for comments, implement KZfaq's poll feature.

Pixel 5 and Android 11 🔥😍

I disagree I feel the video quality on the Pixel 5 is amazing, no shuddering, absolute clarity, my friends couldn't believe the quality! Stills are great but videos more breath taking

Due to COVID and wearing masks all the time, I find Fingerprint as a much better solution than Face ID.

I can't deal with face unlock anymore since I wear a mask at work all day, I'm looking for a phone with a fingerprint scanner now.

Pixel 5 is AMAZING. Full disclosure, I'm watching on a Pixel 5🤘🏻

I have an iPhone 11 pro and a Pixel 5 and I've been looking at getting the iPhone 12. I will say this, it will obviously depend on which Operating System you prefer and how invested you are in it (android or ios) but I usually carry my Pixel 5 85% of the time and on most days. When you look at both devices I enjoy the software and editing that can be done to the Pixel's photos and videos plus the Pixel 5's front-facing camera has an option to zoom which isn't available on the iPhone 12. I tend to prefer the Pixel for outside photos and the iPhone slightly over the Pixel 5 for inside shots. The details at least in the photos I take are a bit better and in my lighting, the iPhone carries the lighting more naturally to what my surroundings actually look like. Please understand that the Pixel 5 is 699.99 plus tax with 128GB of storage and the iPhone 12 is 849.99 with 128GB of storage and the iPhone 12 doesn't come with a charging adaptor in the box. If you like accessories, the iPhone 12 will have more options. My household loves IOS and the sucky part about is we can interact better when I use my iPhone for things like facetime, sending photos, emojis, utilizing applications together and etc. IOS is a better app-driven experience and Android 11 offers a uniquely diverse customization experience. I prefer my keyboard on my Pixel 5, I like Google Maps, I like the notification system better, the fingerprint sensor is certainly better right now during this pandemic and I just feel more comfortable throwing the phone (Pixel 5) in my pocket without a case and screen protector and leaving the house. I enjoy the 90hz refresh rate on the Pixel as well, it's a small difference you just tend to notice when you spend so much time on your phone. iPhone in this instance has the processor for sure. All this being said, I thoroughly enjoy the apps and application experience on the iPhone better, not sure why really but I tend to run into fewer glitches and the apps are truly catered for the operating system. The Pixel will get your three or four years of updates and Apple promises five. Pixel has a two-year manufacturer's warranty and Apple has a one year? There will always be pros and cons but if you like IOS more then you will most likely enjoy the iPhone 12 and vice versa....now if you're thinking about switching to either side...it's just gonna depend on how you use your device and what's most important to you....good luck......

I have a Pixel 5 and iPhone 12 Pro at my disposal, I prefer the Pixel 5.

Hes orange in the Iphone pics but he say its natural. Great vid overall though

It's interesting that people are really comparing these two. Pixel 5 is obviously a mid-range phone and it still keeps up with most flagships. Lovely

On Friday I replaced my 6s+ with the Pixel 5. As a first time Android user, I'm happy.

I'm a pixel fan boy for life. Loved google phones since my first (nexus 5x). Though I'm going for the pixel 4a 5g this year due to price and size of screen.

Outstanding review. Thanks for covering all the things I would never have known about. Thumbs up and just subscribed. I have been loving my Pixel 2XL for several years now. It’s works as well as it did the day I brought it home. The only thing keeping me from getting another Pixel is the lack of updates after only three years. This was not an inexpensive product when purchased and to stop security updates after three years is a big negative in my humble opinion. And it’s worth virtually nothing in terms of trade in value. Shame on Google.

Enjoyed your video every time. Thumbs up 👍🏽

Pretty cool comparison! Thanks!

My head: Google Pixel My heart: iPhone 12 My wallet: *Nokia*

I can't wait until someone does an in-depth comparison on the software between these two

Great video! 👍 Both phones are great so it's just personal preference that decides. I've got the iPhone 12 pro max which I'm now replacing with the Pixel 5. Not that the iPhone is bad but I prefer android and always liked the Pixel phones. I however have the deepest respect and understanding for others making the choice to go for the iphone.

Great work. Thanks for posting. Subbed

Excellent review! I hadn’t upgraded in a couple years and these were the two I was looking at. Thanks for helping me choose! Went with iPhone 12 because of the processing power and video.. the camera is so much better than the 11 it’s quite amazing..

Your videos always interesting and they have very good quality.

Thanks for the review. Was very helpful.

Thumbs up bro 👍🏻 that was a great comparison to check out

I still have my iPhone 5! For me, the most important aspect is images. I have taken some amazing photos using 5 but have never been able to afford to upgrade to anything better in the apple range. I love the iphone 12 camera results in JSLs review. I started to waver but as soon as I saw that, it clinched it for me. Thanks for the review. As they say, “You pay your money, you take your chances”

there's like a 200 dollar difference tho lol

Once you experience the Pixel software experience you will wonder why it took you so long to switch to the Pixel. iOS is so boring and the bloatware on the Galaxy is overwhelming. The Pixel software is where it's at. I just can't wait to see what Google can bring us with their next year flagship phone with their Pixel 6 XL

Damn, This is the first time I watched your vid and these quality video are really good and you deserve a sub for that 🤟

You're a liar! The Pixel 5 is much more natural than the iPhone, the pictures on the iPhone are not even close to reality, the pictures are always yellow.

Just got the Pixel 5 for $711AUD delivered in a Black Friday sale, which is about $525USD. Definitely great bang for $.

Good comparison, however, the no notch screen, the 90 hertz refresh rate, greater storage, and the pixel’s superior software features make this a no brainer

Very flawless and precise comparison video between the two phones. By the way, I am seeing this video 4 months after buying an iphone 12 but still found your video very helpful.

I just switched to the iphone 12 mini and Im still getting used to it. I miss my mail notifications on android.

If almost everything is going down to our preference then why have you made this video🙄

I love that you compare the display in your videos ❤️❤️❤️ continue please

I would take the pixel 5 without a second thought

7:12 Nope. I own the iPhone 12 and selfies have this bright glow, orange-y tint on my face. It's not natural compared to Pixel. It is pleasing than the Pixel's but definitely beautified.

For me iPhone. 2 years ago left android and never regretted. But two of my son's use android. They don't like ios. Personal preferences guys....

I flip flop back and forth between both iOS and Android. Ultimately at the end of the day I prefer Android. Google just keeps innovating. The select on screen feature where I can search images with google lens is invaluable to me With that being said though, Apple creates an incredible product and you can’t go wrong with either one

Awesome thank you this helped so much

So nobody's gonna talk about how pixel 5's bezels are beautifully symmetrical?

Great review, really puts it into perspective. A quick question, do you use cases/screen protectors on your phones?

Great video!! Thank you!!

thanks for the great review!

Editing mistake at 4:50 The Pixel 5 base storage text is out of the frame.

Good review mate

you have a cool logo! how do you make it appear when watching on lanscape and make it disappear on portrait mode?

Today for some reason I needed to compress large pdf documents which are in my laptop and send them to an app, And I really appreciated the flexibility android provided , I have an ipad and I tried to do it and it was a mess. But my android phone was a champ and did most of the compression by an app and transfer of data by using file transfer. Thank you Google for android

The best phone is the one your wallet can buy lmao

Thank you for your video. What about Google 4a 5g ?

Great video man!

i would usually go for iPhone 12 but i am slightly pissed about the fact that Pixel 5 packs easily a 4080mah while apple still decides to give their consumers less than before.

Pixel 5 😍 Still using my pixel 3, will upgrade eventually.

I really like the way you review! Good job mate

is it just me or was the iPhone 12 video blurry and washed out compared to the pixel 5 at 7:25? am I trippin to see the iPhone as inferior in video quality?

4:47 I cannot see the storage option of pixel 5.

Thanks for the Video. I was on the fence as to stay with Apple or bounce. I am gone! Pixel 5 it is. Plus the apple ios14 totally messed with my Honda's in car entertainment system. Now It keeps freezing, Waze freezes and the music is distorted.

Great video review from a new subscriber. :-)

Awesome stuff! New subscriber here!

I have been (and still am) an Android guy. I love the OS (clean, no skins, etc). I have gotten every pixel so far but Google'a desicion to go mid tier did not make me happy. And to admit, the iPhone 12 is beautiful. Soooo I got 12 pro. Not the max, too big for me. To answer shortly after a month with the iOS, my say is this. Give me pure Android in iPhone 12 hardware and I will never think again about a phone. Just to give you a simple idea. No way (unless you buy a transparent widget...for couple of bucks) to move all icons you need in the bottom end of the screen and leave the rest of the screen empty....basically you need to fill the screen to push them down. Wtf? I can go on for the rest of the day where Android is miles ahead, but thanks to all Google apps working perfect on iOS, switching back and forth is a breeze.

Still rocking my 4xl and think it is still a more complete package than p5, may be I'm wrong, may be one day I will use p5, but I still opt 4xl over ip12 ( *I have both on hand whereas ip12 is my weekend phone)

What's the wallpaper in the pixel 5 at the start of the video?

Bro which wallpaper is used in google pixel 5 on the starting of video

Nice video! I like both phones. But? Can't afford it. HAHAHA

Love the Seiko SKX007J ;)

Have both and in terms of reliability it's always iOS (XR). My pixel is my primary phone and the iphone is for office. I take calls, manage meetings, emails switch between apps and this phone does not shred a sweat. As on the pixel the call screen hangs sometimes when I immediately try to switch between apps. Example: teams, email and phone. I recently used the iPhone and an ipad as a temporary replacement for my crashed windows laptop and after a few hours of adjusting it was office as usual. I cannot imagine that level of multitasking with any Android. But still for some reason, I just can't completely quit Android.

I'm a year and a half late but snagged pixel 5 used in very good condition unlocked for 330 dollars. It works really well.

U don’t compare the ultra wide camera

The Pixel 5 isn't being sold in my country and the iPhone 12 normal version is 1100$ so I'm not going for either!

They are both excellent. But there are still a few limitations of iOS that I just can't quite overlook. But man they have come a long way too and the iPhone 12 hardwear is quite excellent.

Liked and subscribed :)

2:57 "But you will never see that on an iPhone" Uhhhh, so apparently some iPhone 12 owners are also experiencing a gap issue, lol.

The iPhone might be better, that is until Apple decides you had your phone long enough and starts messing with your battery

What are you using to change the table to green and yellow colors thanks

can someone please tell me what cellphone holder is the one being shown at 5:40 ?

Him: "Apple's selfies are more natural, and less artificially enhanced." Also him: *Looks like he has the bright filter on from snapchat* Haha, but in all seriousness tho, the iPhone does look better when taking selfies. I think Apple takes better pictures of faces, while Google takes better pictures of environments.

Face ID is frustratingly useless nowadays.....

At 7:30 he says front facing video, colors and dynamic range is better in the iPhone, but shows a video on both, and the sky and buildings in the back are completely blown out on the iPhone and you can see the blue sky and clouds in the Pixel 5. Not to mention his shirt is black on the Pixel, but almost gray in his iPhone.

Switch from iphone 7+ to Pixel 3 and never looked back. My Pixel 3 was having issues because of its age and bought the Pixel 5 and I love it. Got one for me and the wife with the deals going at the moment traded both Pixel 3's in, walked out with case and screen protector for both phone and only paid $200. When I was buying the phones and setting them up there was 5 people that walked in having issues with the iPhone 12, the wife and I were debating if we should switch to Iphone and with those iphone issues I don't regret it. Plus the repair costs, you will spend this over the life time of a Pixel than and iPhone.

In Germany the Pixel is about 300€ cheaper so i will get the Pixel but the iPhone is super amazing and if it only would have been 100€ like in the US I would have chosen the iPhone

This is my current debate. I'm itching for a new phone and I'm on the fence. I currently have an iPhone se (2020) and a pixel 3a xl. Both have really good cameras. I think the iphone has more "natural" tones and slightly crisper lines but night sight on the pixel is magic. Last I researched I believe the iphone night mode is automatically suggested only when IT seems it appropriate and manual use is not an option. Also the battery in my pixel is a beast and the iphone has to be topped off a couple times to make it to bed time. I would really like to have seen you compare night modes.

Good work JSL

Pixel 5 easily ftw... Main Reasons: Software, Google Assistant Version no one else can get( I think), Full Screen(no notch), Camera, Smoothness, 2 day battery, Call Screening, Call holding, 90hz and more... I'd be bored to death with a iphone, never 👎🏽

Pixel 5 is a beast. Aaaannnnd iPhone ain't touching the pixel 5 battery life ever. Period

Watching this on my "pixel 4a"

Hi, @JSL review Looks like the pixel is crushing shadow detail such as the scene of the close-up elephant on the right hand side you can't see nothing where is on the iPhone you can see all the details in the shadows were both screens adjusted accordingly?

@3:14 where can i get this wallpaper :)? (Pixel 5)

Tim 🍎 should be ashamed of his self, no charger in the box, 64gb's of base storage in late 2020 is beyond ridiculous 🙄. You i-sheepers, how do you stay loyal to this guy?

Trust me, I had a 12 mini I switch to pixel 4a5g ( mostly te same that the 5) the pixel it’s a incredible phone, incredible camera , incredible experience on android, remember the pixel price and iPhone price ... BUT if you use to use apple devices you will miss the iPhone but for anyone thinking to switch to android the best experience similar to iPhone is the pixel . For me iOS is one step forward yet

Cool video, both phones very similar size wise and performance and camera but here the main point is what do you prefer, no iOS user will go for google ui if he likes the pixel performance even more, and so for google fans. 👍 Display refresh is no deal , you can’t see it .

Just ordered the Pixel 5. Cant wait. Ive had samsung and then LG since 2013, but Im noticing that they both come with bloatware and really tend to slow down after a couple years. Going to try a new direction with Google.
