iPhone 11 Pro Max vs Google Pixel 4: speed and responsiveness, the match

Since the release of Google's latest flagship smartphone, thePixel 4, comparisons between the latter and the iPhone 11 are pouring in. We have already had aduel focused on daytime photography, then to asecond comparison for night photography, an area where Google's smartphone wants to excel. In both cases, iPhone 11 and Google Pixel 4 remain very close in terms of rendering quality.

But this new duel based on reaction speed can potentially change the situation and let one of the two models take the lead.

The experience is signed by theYouTuber PhoneBuff, which is used to offering very well conducted smartphone duels, aided by a robotic arm. The latter will perform different actions on the smartphone for several minutes, opening various apps, such as Word, Excel Adobe Rush, testing video games or even editing photos or audio.

The list of actions is the same to carry out for both devices, iPhone 11 Pro Max in this case and Google Pixel 4 XL (having the same CPU and RAM characteristics as the Google Pixel 4). A first round of the list of actions is carried out, followed by a second. This second round is important, because it makes it possible to gauge the RAM storage capacities of apps and the performance of reopening apps in the background.

Note that the comparison between the two smartphones is particularly interesting in terms of responsiveness. Indeed, the Google Pixel 4 XL has 6 GB of RAM, while the iPhone 11 Pro Max only has 4. In addition, it is equipped with the latest version 10 of Android. The iPhone 11 Pro is not to be outdone with an A13 chip of any generation and iOS 13, which should probably allow it to offer good performance all the same, in theory.

iPhone 11 Pro Max vs Pixel 4 XL speed comparison results

For the first round of actions, the iPhone 11 Pro Max needs 1 minute and 50 seconds, the Google Pixel 4 XL, 2 minutes and 17 seconds.

The second round of actions is performed in 49 seconds for the iPhone 11 Pro Max and 58 seconds for the Google Pixel 4 XL.

We therefore notice that despite the 2 GB of additional RAM, the Google Pixel 4 XL cannot keep up with the speed and responsiveness of the iPhone 11 Pro Max, running iOS 13. Note that the CPU must greatly play a role in this. kind of comparison. The A13 chip in the Apple smartphone certainly played a big role in Apple's victory over Google.

However, this new duel confirms that the iPhone 11 Pro Max has, in terms of speed and responsiveness, few competitors capable of matching it, for the moment.
