Pattern

Pixel four:

The Design is subjective, you either beloved it or hate it. These black brushed aluminum edges accept a squeamish crude texture to it. The fact that it's using a flat brandish instead of an edged brandish is a bonus in my books, it but feels a lot more comfortable to type on and it but feels similar a phone that don't want to put a case on.

OnePlus 7T:

T serial devices are often just incremental upgrades, simply for the OnePlus 7T, I experience like it's actually a bigger upgrade than the jump from the OnePlus 6T to the OnePlus 7. So on the whole, other than a few design changes, this is nevertheless a very OnePlus looking telephone. It now has a matte terminate similar the vii pro, simply instead of using the same slim camera bump, we now accept this huge circular matter. I don't actually detest it, but I don't beloved it either. The phone is now a little taller, which brings with it a slightly taller 20:ix brandish. It even so has a notch like the OnePlus vii, but it is noticeably smaller here. I actually prefer having a notch over a pop up camera, only considering it's one less moving part on the phone.

Brandish

Pixel iv:

The brandish has gotten an update every bit well, not just getting a beautiful AMOLED panel. It's a lot more consistent than previous years. You're also getting a high refresh rate 90 Hertz which is fantastic. It makes scrolling through things a wonderful experience very like to the OnePlus device. This one happens to be dynamic so it'southward not always ninety Hertz and it does this to save battery life.

OnePlus 7T:

The screen itself is skillful looking enough for the almost part. It gets vivid plenty outdoors, and information technology supports the aforementioned 90Hz refresh rate as the Pixel 4, which does make the phone experience smoother. I too like that it's a flat brandish. Still, similar a lot of previous OnePlus devices, I experience like the screen seems a piddling more than reflective than other screens I've seen, so sometimes it tin exist a little distracting under a bright sunny twenty-four hour period. Just my concern is actually with the quality of the screen itself. While I think it looks good most of the time, when it is at lower effulgence, I did notice a slight uneven tint on the screen. This is more than obvious on a grayness background, which happens to be what a lot of apps are using for nighttime mode these days.

Sound

Pixel iv:

Google did reduce the bottom bezel by moving the speaker to the lesser of the phone. If y'all do watch a lot of videos and movies through the phone speakers, I tin can tell you lot that audio is pretty clear. And there is no iii.5mm audio jack.

OnePlus 7T:

The audio quality of this mobile is very skillful. Doby Atmos is present and information technology has stereo speakers. But if are playing game or watching content on this phone I will recommend you to utilize headphones. And if you lot compare the audio quality to Pixel four then I think OnePlus 7T is far behind. As well there is no 3.5mm audio jack on Oneplus 7T.

SOFTWARE & PERFORMANCE

Pixel iv:

My favorite thing about this smartphone is the Google Experience, Android 10 on the Pixel is ameliorate than any other Android phone. What Google has washed was polished the Bone, use one of their chips within of the device to bring Google Assistant embedded into the phone. So Talking to it is a lot quicker and the response is a lot faster. Plus, they totally stole the gestures from the iPhone and they did a skillful chore of implementing it into the Pixel 10.

The "soli sensor" does a lot of gimmicky stuff like you can swipe to change the music, you lot can interruption the alarm which is all cool but it's finicky. It works sometimes and other times information technology just doesn't work at all.

But one of my favorite features most this device is the recording app. And I know a lot of phones can do information technology. They have these apps built into them, merely this one is special because it does all the processing on the telephone itself. It's real fourth dimension fifty-fifty if I was to put it on airplane mode it would continue to translate exactly what I'g saying.

OnePlus 7T:

The OnePlus 7T has been updated with the slightly faster Snapdragon 855 Plus chipset, which benchmarks will tell you is faster. But in my normal day to day apply, I didn't really notice anything dissimilar from the already speedy Snapdragon 855.

OxygenOS is one of my favourite Android experiences around. It's clean looking, it's fast, and information technology has a lot of useful features that I wish was on the Google Pixel. The only thing it loses to the Pixel, is that it takes a bit longer to get major Android updates.

Photographic camera: PIXEL 4 Vs OnePlus 7T

The main difference between these ii is that yous go two lenses on the pixel four and 3 on the oneplus 7T and those 3 are a regular wide, ultra-broad, and a 2x telephoto. The pixel 4 is but a regular wide and a 2x telephoto. Now Google says that most people probably don't want an ultra-broad lens because they'll rather apply a telephoto, and I retrieve it comes down to personal option.

For general photos with HDR turned on, both of the phones do a really good job. There'south a nifty level of item and sharpness on them when you lot zoom into the 100% crop and the color rendition is pretty nice on both. However, in that location is a difference straight out of the photographic camera, the images from the oneplus 7T expect a piffling scrap more saturated and punchy than the pixel 4. But a lot of this comes down to personal preference and what looks good to me might not look good to you and vice-versa. I think portrait mode is a lot more dramatic on the pixel compared to the oneplus 7T and it does a improve job on inanimate objects.

Selfies is a bit of a tough one considering again taking photos of your selfie. I don't know which one you lot prefer but I prefer the oneplus 7T but again it's a niggling less saturated and sometimes washed out so maybe the pixel looks good. Yet, when it comes to portraid fashion on the front end-facing camera, I definitely think the 7T wins this 1.

In night mode, I recall that the OnePlus 7T does a actually skilful job. I don't think it'south every bit well-rounded as night sight on the pixel but honestly for $200 less you're getting a really capable photographic camera in 7T. Images look a little fleck warmer overall at night then from the pixel but over again unless you put them side-by-side I don't think you're really gonna notice. But the pixel has a one terminal ace up its sleeve when it comes to the camera and it is "astrophotography style" which leverages numerous techniques, including merging multiple shots with a liberal smattering of AI to capture vivid, pleasing images in very low-light situations.

Video though is another matter because the pixel 4 still only does 4k at 30 frames a second whereas the oneplus 7T is 4k at lx frames a second and information technology'due south simply night and solar day, in terms of smoothness. I love having 60 frames a second equally an option, yeah information technology takes up more storage space but honestly if you want memories to wait the best, they're gonna look the best on the 7T.

SECURITY

Pixel 4:

The big feature about this device happens to be the radar sensor that's embedded within of it, they're calling information technology the "soli sensor" and it does petty things similar information technology integrates with face up ID making this a very secure device to unlock your phone. I personally adopt it over Touch ID or some sort of fingerprint scanner considering it'due south really fast on the Pixel. It's probably faster than the iPhone 11 Pro just I dear the fact that takes you directly to where y'all were concluding left off. With the iPhone 11 Pro, you unlock the telephone and y'all accept to swipe the screen upwardly. Now, I know you tin can unlock it while you lot're sleeping which is kind of unfortunate. This is gonna get fixed in the next update.

OnePlus 7T:

There is a in-display fingerprint sensor. Information technology is still not quite every bit fast or as accurate as I'd similar, all the same OnePlus says that they've done a lot of software tuning, just crush upwards the animations, and more often than not speaking information technology is better that what has been in the past. It's not my favorite, I definitely prefer a physical sensor, simply it is certainly usable and information technology getting meliorate. I can imagine with a few more updates information technology really might be good and not just okay.

Battery

Pixel 4:

The i area that this phone completely suffers from and I call back information technology'southward inexcusable is the battery life. The Pixel four'southward battery life is atrocious. Literally iv hours sometimes four and a one-half hours of use of screen on fourth dimension before this telephone dies. The Pixel iv XL is a piddling meliorate. I can become five to v and a half hours of use earlier the battery dying but overall for 2019 standards it's mode below the competition.

OnePlus 7T:

I practice however appreciate the slightly larger 3,800mAh battery. Even with 90Hz on all the time, and with heavier usage, I can all the same easily become a 24-hour interval of employ out of the phone. There is too a 30W charger in the box equally well which is great if you lot need a quick top upward. And there is no wireless charging.

WHICH ONE YOU SHOULD Purchase?

It all comes down to your personal prefrence, if yous need a mobile with good camera and a Google experience software so obviously go for Pixel four. Simply If want to salvage $200 and go better functioning and that ultra-wide lense then you lot should go for OnePlus 7T.

Personally, I'm definitely gonna pick the Oneplus 7T because it doesn't feel like a compromise, despite it beingness $200 less, it's a premium telephone, information technology'due south got a fingerprint reader in the screen, it'southward got everything that I want, a actually nice camera and it doesn't await as nice in terms of the Oxygen Os to me equally pure Android but I guess I could merely put a different launcher on it and it would look different.
