Google Pixel Vs iPhone 7 Specs And Features Comparison:

Apple has received criticism for not making many changes in its design over the iPhone 6S. The iPhone 7 looks are totally taken from its predecessor including the same metal casing, flat back and curved sides. The only differing areas are those of the antenna lines. Even the camera hump, which appears to be different, still continues to stick out from the rear. There's also the absence of a headphone jack, which makes the smartphone slightly incomplete.

Google Pixel Vs iPhone 7 Design Comparison:

The Google Pixel and Pixel XL are also rectangular shaped with rounded edges just like the iPhone models. While Apple's smartphone feature its Touch ID fingerprint scanner just below the front home button , the fingerprint sensor on the Pixel is located on the half-glossy, half-matte rear of the metallic based glass device. While Google is offering the Smartphones in black, silver, and blue colors, the iPhone 7 is available in Silver, Gold, Rose Gold, and two new Black/Jet Black versions. The Google Pixel, however, doesn't offer the IP68 water-resistance as that of the iPhone 7, powerful speakers or even a microSD slot for expanding the 32GB storage.
