After a month with the iPhone 14 Pro, I’m enjoying my Pixel more than ever, except for one thing

For my work, almost I always move the SIM card from one phone to another. It is something that I assume, and for which I am sometimes grateful because you always have to be grateful to get out of the monotony. So my Pixel sometimes spends weeks in drawers while I make room for others. But those others, overwhelmingly in the market, are almost always Android phones. However, things happened.

It happened that after many years, I had a “long distance” experience again by visiting iOS with an iPhone 14 Pro in my pocket. It was not just a specific test but one of coexistence. We saw each other again, we caught up on specific things, as we continued to talk via the iPad, and finally I’m back on Android. To my Pixel a few days and now I go LITTLE. And you know what? What The only thing I’m going to miss about the iPhone 14 Pro is its brutal battery life

. What Google has built with its own mobile brand is not valued enough.

Let’s get used to valuing pixels as they deserve

Like I said, iOS and I never stopped talking to each other. My home ecosystem of products is oddly varied, and I imagine not very strangely common. Because my mobile is Android 99.99% of the time, my tablet is an iPad, and my work computer has long ceased to be a Macbook Pro and has become one with Windows. When it comes to speakers and a smart home, yes, I only trust Google Home and Nest.

So the iPad and I, who have lived together for years, happily received a longer than expected test with the arrival of the iPhone 14 Pro at home. A very powerful phone with a multitude of virtues, some very obvious and others less so. But what I was able to verify is that at least now, We are not so far from the experience that Google offers with its Pixels. And be careful, because I’m talking about a Pixel 5. Not even one of the newer Pixels.

I can agree that the iPhone 14 Pro is much more powerful than the Pixel 5

Especially when it comes to brute force. Let’s not forget that the Pixel didn’t have the most powerful processor in the Android world even when it was launched, imagine more than two years later. But be careful with the Snapdragon 765, a chip that tends to be vilified too easily and that gives more than one happiness to those who use it. And two and three.

But yes, the raw power is unmatched. It is a fact. The question is that such raw power is rarely needed. Maybe in a game more demanding of the account, but nothing else. The rest of the time, all processors are underutilized. This is something we will agree on. And Google has been able to work on the fluidity of its ecosystem to such an extent that, having an iPhone 14 Pro in return, their user experiences are almost indistinguishable.

We can talk, if you want, of the photographic experience. There Google can inflate its chest, and it has done so for years, thanks to the fact that few companies arrive in the field of artificial intelligence applied to photography where North Americans arrive. So much so that the competition between the iPhone 14 Pro and the Pixel 5 is so tight that I wouldn’t dare risk a winner. And the iPhone 14 Pro is one of the photographic marvels of the year for Apple, it’s not nothing. But Google works very well there, and it’s fair to say.

So when it comes to pushing, the one thing I’m really going to miss coming back to my Pixel 5 is autonomy, one of the points where the iPhone 14 Pro plants its flag, erects a wall and lets very little pass. But for the rest, the experience with the Pixels remains magnificent. With the added benefit, too, that Android makes me feel more comfortable than iOS in many ways. Maybe because of years of friendship, or maybe because iOS isn’t as open yet as it should be. But let’s brag more Pixel. They deserve it. I checked it in my meats very recently.
