Comparative usage report of iPhone XS and Pixel 4 in 2022

Face ID, X-axis linear motor, wireless charging, stereo speakers, glass backboard, all these seem to be very different from the current mobile phone. But XS has been released for more than three years, and Pixel 4 has been released for more than two years!

We look at these two mobile phones from the aspects of screen, performance, camera and system.

1. Screen, size and feel

The IPhone XS is equipped with a 5.8-inch Samsung oled screen and the Pixel 4 is a 5.7-inch LG oled screen, both of which support HDR display. XS has higher brightness, better display effect, more delicate, and supports 3D touch (although it may be useless now).

The advantage of Pixel 4 is that the screen supports 90Hz, and Pixel UI+90Hz is very silky, and there is no frame lock, but in low brightness, the gray picture appears green seriously.

Pixel 4 also has a function similar to the original color display of the iPhone, called "smart screen adjustment".

Both of them are small-screen mobile phones, and they both feel great. Pixel 4 is very slender to hold, a bit like Samsung s8 and s20, and XS is shorter and thinner. The two types of intermediate materials also have their own characteristics. IPhone XS is surgical grade stainless steel, which looks very advanced and it is quite round to hold, but the fingerprints are very serious, especially in summer, and my hands will sweat, which is really a long story .......................................................................................................................... The downside is to make her look like she's wearing a shell! Because of the stainless steel middle frame, XS is even more awkward to handle, even more important than iPhone 13.

Step 2 perform

There is no doubt that in this respect, XS has won completely!

My XS memory combination is 4+5 12, and pixel 4 is 6+ 128. Their chips are A 12Bionic and Snapdragon 855 respectively.

Look at the parameters first. The technology of A 12 is TSMC 7nm, the CPU architecture is familiar with 2+4, and the main frequency is 2.49GHz. The GPU is the second generation developed by Apple, with 4 cores, which is 50% faster than A 1 1(3-core GPU), and its performance is quite scary. The number of transistors is 6.9 billion. There is 1 G in memory, and many new functions of iOS 15 need to be supported by A 12 or more, so A 12 is likely to become the next performance watershed after A9.

Snapdragon 855 is also 7nm, and the CPU architecture is 1+3+4( 1 A76 super core at 2.84GHz, 3 A76 large cores at 2.4 1GHz and 4 A55 small cores at 1.8GHz). GPU is Adreno 640. This chip has great potential. Watch the video of geek bay Xiaomi 90pro, GPU overclocking, deleting a temperature control, adding a heat sink and even turning to 865, close to 870!

It's winter, the temperature is low, and both of them burn well. But in summer, XS's dual-layer motherboard will bring many problems, and it will reduce the frequency and brightness, and Pixel 4 will be better.

4. camera

Both IPhone XS and Pixel 4 are a combination of wide-angle and telephoto dual cameras.

XS main camera is 1200w pixel, which is equivalent to 26mm, and telephoto is 1200w, which is equivalent to 52 mm Both cameras support optical image stabilization. Thanks to the remarkable performance improvement of a 12 ISP, XS supports the first generation of intelligent HDR, and can also display HDR images in real time. Apple's computational photography also started from this generation. From this generation, Apple's photos began to become unreal, and they exerted their strength on HDR, especially the photos taken by iPhone 12 and 13. The HDR effect was very good (but the deep fusion made the photos sharp and uncomfortable). This effect can also be seen on the iPhone sent to the oled screen through airdrop, but it is gone on the uploaded social software.

The main camera of Pixel 4 is the familiar imx363, which is also 1200w pixel, equivalent to 27mm；; The telephoto is IMX 48 1, 1600 W pixels, which is equivalent to 50 mm. Both cameras support optical image stabilization. Relying on the Pixel Neurocore chip, Pixel 4 adds "double exposure" to photos, that is, when taking photos, you can adjust the exposure of highlights and dark parts in real time after clicking focus, and support real-time HDR. But the frame resolution is very low.

Does iPhone XS support videos up to 1080P? 60fps and 4K? 60fps, supporting stereo recording. Pixel 4 supports up to 1080P? 60fps and 4K? 30fps, supporting audio scaling.

Pixel 4 also has a Live Photo function similar to the iPhone, which is called "Best Photo", but the effect is average.

Both XS and Pixel 4 support long-press shutter to record video.

Slightly different, iPhone XS takes portraits with telephoto, while Pixel 4 takes portraits with the main camera.

There is nothing to shoot in China, just take a look!

The camera version of pixel 4 is 8. 4. 400. 38800 . 38888888686

Below is the night view.

From left to right are iPhone XS (automatic mode), Pixel 4 (night mode) and iPhone 12 (automatic night mode).

Night view and telephoto pixel 4 hang iPhone XS or even iPhone 12. With Super Res Zoom, photos are highly available at 5x zoom, and there is an astrophotography mode. However, the negative optimization of pixel camera seems to be very serious.

IOs 15 & amp； Android 12

After updating iOS 15, IPhone XS has the same viewfinder and zoom wheel as iPhone 1 1. After updating iOS 15, the strongest perception is character recognition (supported on A 12 bionic or subsequent chip iPhone), and Pixel 4 has the same function. However, the principles of the two are not the same. IPhone is made locally, which means it is realized by the computing power of A 12 chip itself. It doesn't need to be connected to the Internet, and it is very fast. Just click on the photo and press the text directly. Pixel needs a network, and iPhone is the best experience.

In addition to character recognition, it is portrait mode. In FaceTime, videophone and nail video conference, just use the sliding control center to turn on portrait mode, and you can create a blurred background effect like taking portrait photos.

The biggest change of Android 12 is Material You, which extracts colors from wallpaper and applies them to many scenes in the system, such as calculators, some buttons on the keyboard, buttons on the control center, camera shutter keys and so on. Secondly, a large number of rounded corners are used in the system. There are also many changes in animation, such as stretching animation at the end of the sliding list.

There are also many improvements in privacy and security. For example, when the app accesses the location information, it can also set the approximate location.

Pixel's one-handed mode is the same as the iPhone's convenient access, and the external mode is the same, all of which are small horizontal jumps.

6. Battery

Both iPhone XS and Pixel 4 support fast charging of 18w, and the charging speed is similar. Charging XS with a purple rice 20w head for half an hour can charge 50% of the electricity. Both of them have poor battery life and are basically charged twice a day.

7. Tail

Pixel 4 has many black technologies and practical functions, such as radar, although it is useless. Music olfactory recognition and screen perception are two very practical functions.

Up to now, it is still a bit difficult for Pixel 4 to be the main machine. It is a little difficult for 6g memory to cope with domestic software, the software adaptation is really general, and the Spotify interface is fragmented!

IPhone XS can be used as a host, but in summer, the double-layer host will be seriously hot, and it will definitely be stuck!

I like these two machines very much. Their face ID is fast, the stereo speakers are excellent, the vibration is crisp and neat, and the photos are stable. They are all rare small-screen mobile phones. They each have their own advantages. I hope my XS can fight for another 3 years!
