Pixel 4 XL vs iPhone 11 Pro Max SPEED Test - This is CRAZY! By Brandon Butch

What's up guys, my name is Brandon, and today we're going to be running a speed test between the brand-new Pixel 4 XL and the iPhone 11 Pro Max now. The iPhone 11 is, of course, the biggest flagship release of 2019 and Google is trying to compete with the release of the pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL. So we're going to see if the pixel can compete in the speed compartment. So before we get started, of course, let's go ahead and lay out the specs just so we could see what we're working with here. So, on the left hand, side we do have the Pixel 4 XL, with the snapdragon, 855, processor and 6 gigabytes of RAM. We do also have the Arena 640 GPU, and we are running Android, 10 and then over here.

On the right hand, side we have the iPhone 11 Pro Mac's, with Apple's a 13 Bionic chip and 4 gigabytes of RAM, and this is also running. The latest iOS release, iOS 13 point 1 point 3, all right, so we're going to kick off the speed test with a boot up test like we always do, so we're going to test. Both these devices from a powered off state and see which one can get to the lock screen, first after being fully shut down. So let's go ahead and press the power button on both here in three two one pressing and holding on both of the exact same time press to the exact same time. We do see the Google logo first and then followed by the Apple logo.

I would expect the pixel to win this test here. The iPhone doesn't usually win these boot up tests, but yeah, as you can see there, that pixel for Excel did beat out the iPhone 11 Pro Macs and the boot up test. We are still winning on the iPhone. Here again, it is usually lacking on the boot up test, for whatever reason it usually does get beat out by the Samsung phones and even sometimes some older iPhones as well. So you can see a pretty significant difference there.

You know probably 15 seconds I would say difference between the iPhone and the pixel from boots, and now we're going to go ahead and test how quickly you can get to the home screen from the lock screen. So we have faced ID on the iPhone. We also have facial recognition on the pixel for Excel, but the pics of for you don't have to press the screen or swipe up or anything like that to get to the home screen. So it's got to be faster on the pixel. No doubt, but I just want to see how quick it actually registers our face.

You will see the phone unlock the little lock icon there on the iPhone, and you'll see it here on the pixel as well. So let's test this out right now, so you can see that the pixel 1 that time it's going to try that one more time, let's go ahead and do this and that time it look like the iPhone 1. So very let's go and try that again that time it looked like the pixels. So no doubt the pixel actually gets to the home screen faster. Just because you don't have to swipe up or oppress the screen or anything like that, it's definitely more convenient than the iPhone but looks like the iPhone with face.

I'd may actually register the face more accurately and maybe a little quicker than the pix. Let's just try it one less time, and you can see there is very, very close, looks like the pixel may have the slight advantage there in terms of getting to the home screen from the lock screen via facial recognition, all right. So now we're going to go ahead and do the classic app opening test, and we're going to start off with games. Games are usually the biggest differentiator between these two devices between two devices in general and speed test. We like to see what the devices are capable of, and that's really how you can test.

You know the full potential of the chipset inside these devices, so we're going to start off with some games. We're going to go over here. We're going to start off with pub G mobile here in three two one press. At the exact same time, the animation is usually a little quicker on the iPhone and iOS, but it looks like it's pretty close right now: I'm expecting the iPhone to win now the pixel for Excel does have the Arena 640 GPU, but the iPhone 11 Pro max does have Apple's 813 Bionic chip. You can see there yeah definitely beat out the pixel, but the a13 Bionic chip here in the iPhone 11 is super powerful, and it showed a big increase over the 12 in terms of GPU, more than CPU.

So a 13 Bionic is definitely no joke. When it comes to the GPU side of things, you can see it there as it booted up. You know a few seconds ahead of the pixel, and now we're going to continue testing it with Call of Duty mobile here in three two one press at the exact same time, and you can see we do get the animation once again. First here on the iPhone and we are loading up, it looks very, very close this time this one may actually be a tire. The pixel could actually even win this one.

It's very close with Call of Duty mobile here and yes, the pixel actually beat out the iPhone here by a couple of seconds. You can see there Mike five, maybe, maybe four or five seconds there. The pics will beat out the iPhone. So that's very, very interesting. Let's go for asphalt, 9 press at the same time, and you can see we get a much bigger game, loft logo, for whatever reason on the pixel, the Android version- that's pretty weird, but let's see which one can get to the actual starting screen of asphalt first, and that goes to the pixel as well.

So the pixel was very, very impressive. So far here when it comes to opening up games, let's go ahead to subway, surfers press at the same time and this one's going to go to the iPhone I said. Ah, let's move on to some social media applications. Some applications that you're probably going to be using every single day, so these are going to be probably more important than the games. So let's go ahead and try out Twitter here in three two one pressed at the exact same time and the eye for the pic, so I mean one that one for sure it loaded up content first as well, it seems we're going to go ahead into Instagram.

It looked like oh man that was very close. We're waiting for that top picture there to load up it. Look like a tie to me: let's go ahead into YouTube and YouTube's gonna load up first on the iPhone by like a second at least one. Second, there goes to the iPhone very, very interesting. Let's go into Reddit right, it's going to open up first on the pixel.

Just by about a second as well: let's go into Amazon, it's gonna load up first on the pixel, so the pixel is performing extremely well here in the speed test. Let's go into a suit ESPN fantasy here in three two one, these PM fantasy football is gonna load up first on they pixel once again. Wow, pixel is really, really surprising me now, let's launch an application like twitch and three two ones. So twitch is gonna load up first on the pixel once again, and now we're just going to launch a few of these stock applications, starting with the phone and the phone loaded up. First on the iPhone: let's go into settings and settings loaded up first on the iPhone.

Once again, let's do the app store versus the Play Store and three to one and that's going to go to look like the Play Store. Just barely. Let's do the clock and clock loaded up first on the iPhone, so it looks like the pixel is actually beating out the iPhone and a lot of applications that are relied it on the internet connection, the speed of the connections, so I think that's why we're seeing the pixel be a little faster than the iPhone, because I bet, the Wi-Fi speeds are gonna, be quick. Let's actually run a quick speed test just to check that out. So we're going to run the speed test here on the pixel for Excel just to see the comparison in terms of Wi-Fi speeds, for whatever reason the iPhone sometimes really struggles with maintaining a good Wi-Fi speed.

So I really want to test this out and see. If that's the case, so you can see there, we got a 64 down and a 77 up. They pick so for Excel. Let's see what we get over here on the iPhone 11 Pro Max, and you can already see it's going to be a little lower. It seems than the pixel, so we're going to be around 50 on the iPhone.

Let's see what the upload is so yeah, definitely a little slower in terms of Wi-Fi speeds. Here on the iPhone, the pixel 4 is going to win the Wi-Fi speed test here as well, and now we're going to go into video shop and export a video. So we shot this in 4k on both. However, we can only export in 1080p here inside this application, for some reason, so you can see there. We are in 1080p for both let's go back, and we're going to go ahead and export this in three two one suppress it.

The exact same time looks like it got started first on the pixel, and it's looking like it's out in front right now. The iPhone seems to be a little slow and rendering out and exporting videos so yeah. It picks a for definitely one that there you can see here. The iPhone is just over halfway, so we're definitely going to win with the pixel in terms of video exporting so not sure if it's going to make a difference if it was 4k or 1080. But you can see here the iPhone just now finishing about 10 to 15 seconds behind.

So now, let's run a Ram management test to see if those two additional gigabytes of RAM on the pixel 4 are going to make any kind of difference in real-world usage over the iPhone, which again has 4 gigabytes compared to these six here. So we're just going to open up the games that we just opened up. So we'll start with pub G right here on both, and we do get a full relaunch for both right there. Now, let's go ahead to Call of Duty and no relaunch for the iPhone and no relaunch for the pixel. Let's try out asphalt, 9 asphalt.

Now it looks like we didn't get a full reload here on the iPhone, but we did get a full reload on the pixel, so that really tells you how much iOS is optimized. It can have less ram and even outperform something with more ram. Like we see here, we usually see that every year with the iPhone, let's go into ESPN fantasy, and we have a relaunch on the iPhone, but not on the pixel I get another web-based application so very interesting. How that's working out here? Let's try Twitter I, said no real ash there on Twitter. Let's try YouTube no relaunch on either their Instagram, no relaunch on either Reddit same deal.

So very interesting, not really a big difference. In terms of the two you. We have two additional gigabytes of RAM here on the pixel for Excel I. So now, let's check out the Geek bench scores for both. So you can see here the single core Geek bench score for the pixel.

Four is 639 compared to 13 35 on the iPhone 11 Pro Mac. So nearly a double score here on the iPhone super impressive for the single core. If we go and scroll down to the multi-core, you can see we have 2046 on the pixel and 34 25 on the iPhone, so not quite double, but still a significant difference in terms of the multi-core score there. Now these benchmarks obviously don't mean everything you know: real-world usage: they don't really tell you a ton, but a lot of people do want me to run these Geek bench tester. So you can see the scores and then finally, I wanted to just run a very quick web browsing test.

So we're going to go to espn. com and three two one, and it looks like we loaded up first on the iPhone, yes fully loaded up on the iPhone ahead of the pixel. Let's try ProductHunt comm pressed at the exact same time and the iPhone loaded that up super, super quick. So the iPhone once again won there. Let's go ahead and try.

Let's just do Apple comm, and then we'll do Google, comm, three-to-one, apple. com, no surprise. There goes to the iPhone by a pretty big margin. Let's go ahead and try something like Samsung, comm I, so Samsung comm in three two one and that's going to be first on the iPhone, so the iPhone actually loaded up Samsung, comm first as well, so pretty impressive they're coming from the iPhone, then we did one final test here on TechCrunch three, two one and TechCrunch loaded up first looks like on the pixel man that was very close, but overall I would say that the web browsing test went to the iPhone, which is kind of weird, especially since I just talked about how the network speeds were higher on the pixel. So maybe that wasn't the difference in the applications loading up faster on the pixel.

Maybe the pixel is just the faster phone here just by a few seconds, but that's really for you guys to decide I'm just here to show you the test I'm, not here, to tell you one's faster than the other ones better than the other I'm just here to show you my little speed test that I like to run here on the channel. I will say that I was very impressed with the performance of the Pixel 4 XL. Here, I definitely expected the iPhone 11 Pro Max to win, and I really only think you know I've, just objectively speaking, I'm not saying once faster than the other, but I think that the iPhone is historically usually just better opening up games and things like that. But it comes to social media apps, and you know a lot of the stuff that you do every day. It seems like these Samsung phones like the pixel here, is going to be a little faster.

But once again, that's all going to depend on what you actually use your device for, how you use your device and things like that. They're. Both superfast phones, day to day usage, you're, really probably not gonna, tell a huge difference between the two, and you know. If you just use one day and one the next, you probably have no idea which one was faster, opening up certain applications, because again it's just a matter of seconds, sometimes even less than a second, so yeah guys. Let me know what you thought about this speed test down in the comment section below.

Let me know which device you think won the speed test overall and if you have any other comments to add or anything like that, leave them down in the comment section below you guys know I love to read the comments and also respond to you guys down there as well, and, of course like always, if you guys did enjoy this video I would appreciate it if you gave it a thumbs up and, of course make sure you guys do subscribe. So you don't miss any of my future speed tests and more pixel for videos, more iPhone videos, all that fun stuff, but anyways guys. Thanks for watching the video, and I'll see you soon, you.
