The Pixel 8 has a larger screen at 6.2 inches compared to the 6.1-inch iPhone 16. Its resolution is lower, however, at 1080x2400 pixels. The iPhone's resolution is 1179x2556 pixels, which means a higher pixel density of 460 pixels per inch against 428ppi. In truth, it's unlikely you'd notice the difference.

The Google Pixel 8 is available with 128 GB for $499 and with 256 GB for $670. The Google Pixel 8 Pro with 128 GB is going for $624. The 256 GB version is currently not discounted at a full price of $1,085. That’s a maximum savings of 38% off. Choose between colorways in bay, hazel, obsidian, porcelain, and rose.

Both handsets use Gorilla Glass Victus 2 to protect them from scrapes and both are IP68 water and dust resistant.
