JAKARTA - After the Google Pixel 8 Pro is released, many have started comparing the device to the iPhone 15 Pro Max. If the Pixel 8 Pro has excellent specifications, some people can think twice about buying the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Given that the price of the Pixel 8 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max is not much different, there needs to be a comparison in terms of specifications. The first thing you need to pay attention to is the design and durability.

Quoting from Makeuseof, both phones have an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance. Pixel 8 Pro is lighter with a higher and thinner body, while the iPhone 15 Pro Max weighs 8 grams heavier.

Both phones use finish glass on the back. However, the Pixel 8 Pro uses aluminum frames and the Gorilla Glass Victus 2, in contrast to the iPhone that wears a 5th grade titanium frame with Ceramic Shield on the front.

The Pixel 8 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max have the same refresh rate, namely 120Hz. In terms of resolution, the Pixel 8 Pro is better with 1344 x 2992 pixels, while the iPhone 15 Pro Max is only 1290 x 2796 pixels.

Both devices have a 6.7-inch screen with an OLED display, but the Pixel 8 Pro holds a better brightness than the iPhone with 2,400 nits.

The Pixel 8 Pro has a 50MP camera, an ultra-wide camera, a macro photography, telephoto, and a five-fold optical zoom on the back. On the front, the Pixel only uses a 10.5MP camera.

Overall, the iPhone has everything in the Pixel 8 Pro. Two things that distinguish only the rear camera with 48MP and the front camera with 12MP.

When viewing the processor used, the iPhone 15 Pro Max capability is more capable than the Pixel 8 Pro. The reason is, the iPhone 15 Pro Max uses the A17 Pro, while the Pixel 8 Pro uses the Tensor G3.

On the battery, the iPhone 15 Pro Max can last longer even if the battery is 4441mAh. This can happen because the processor that the iPhone uses is able to reduce power consumption.

The last thing to consider is RAM and its storage. The iPhone 15 Pro Max only has 8GB RAM, but the storage varies from 256GB to 1TB. Storage in the Pixel 8 Pro is also the same, but the 12GB of RAM.

Those are some of the specifications of the two latest devices from Google and Apple. These two phones do have amazingly good specifications, but you will determine which one is best. Make sure to adjust the specifications to your needs.
