Check out this video that compares the speed of the iPhone 7 Plus to the new Google Pixel.

While the iPhone 7 Plus easily beats the Google Pixel in benchmark tests, a real world speed test often gives a better idea of the speed differences that an average user might see.

Take a look at the video below to see how both devices perform. Note, the Pixel (rather than the Pixel XL) is being compared against the iPhone 7 Plus to keep the resolutions the same (1920x1080).

iPhone owns Google phone. Google is still playing catch up!

If Android and the apps are still written with Java, whatever boost on the hardware they do it will still run slow in the long run. Apple has the best OS and it is optimized to run on their hardware. Even it has inferior hardware specs than Android, the processor doesn't find it hard to process the OS and the apps. Unless Android rewrites everything which is impossible because the Android OS is widely spread and you cannot immediately replace it with a new OS that was built from ground-up because it is already established and Java is part of the deep roots.

When did the iPhone beat the Pixel? 1st they're comparing the PLUS to the regular Pixel, 2nd the iPhone got ripped in every app and only beat the Pixel at games, which isn't a fair comparison since iPhone games are optimized for what... 5/6 devices now, all using basically the same hardware, whereas on Android they have to be compatible with a multitude of devices, hence they're not as smooth. Poor conditions, poor results, flawed test.

The normal pixel is faster than the xl because the XL has a higher resolution screen.

It was kind of not surprising, but even with an android phone by a company that had a chance to optimize it regardless of succeeding or not either way, it still means android isn't going to be faster than iPhone no matter what android phone is being compared to (duh, I know but it can't not be mentioned).
