Which Is Your Preference: Pixel 3 XL, iPhone XS Max, Note 9 Or LG V40?

On last Tuesday, Google has successfully launched the perfect duo of Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL at a New York new event. It is really good news for all fans of big-screen mobile phones. The Pixel 3 is designed with the 5.5-inch screen, whereas the phablet Pixel 3 XL has a pretty larger screen of 6.3-inch. The oversize screen pushes Pixel 3 XL into a fierce battle of supersize models in the current market. With the more advanced configuration, software and no dual camera, this duo is a real formidable opponent to warriors at the same platform of other rivals such as the IPhone XS Max from Apple, Galaxy Note 9 released by Sam Sung or LG V40 ThinQ.

The LG V40 launched with its pretty unique and impressive design of a three-rear camera whereas the Pixel 3 XL applies the mono-camera. Thus, how can the Pixel 3 XL win the battle? It’s simple. It’s worth remembering that despite its single rear camera, the Pixel 3 XL has still gained huge popularity from almost selfieholics as Google has been strongly influenced by LG for creating two front-facing camera lens of 8-megapixel with wide-angle shooting, which is fairly convenient for numerous people selfie at one time.

With the Pixel mobile phones, Google has absolutely adventured the peak achievements in its software industry. The giant Google takes advantage of these phone series as its keystone to expand its service market, making sure Google’s exclusive Android-based phones could lie in more and more users’ hands. This is a real amazing chance for Google to release its wonderful phones completely by itself, except for the hardware which needs support from Google’s international partners somewhere.

However, due to the Pixel phone’s lavish price which even comes up to$1,000, Google may have to face tremendous pressure from various more affordable-but-steady phones under the brands of OnePlus, Motorola and Nokia as well. Actually, every single of this phone types has recently been reviewed, but Pixel 3 XL is the only one still on waiting. Thus, no result has yet been drawn, waiting for the final judgement after we manage its trial. Deeply dig to the end of this article for specific and comparative information.

Screen size and clarity

Are you surprised when the IPhone XS Max gained the title of the biggest screen boss at the dimension of 6.5-inch. The three others are just slightly more diminutive than the winner, with the 6.4-inch and 6.3-inch displays. Specifically, a 6.4-inch screen is the standard applied on the V40 and Galaxy Note 9, whereas the Pixel 3 XL has its full applications displayed within 6.3 inch. Although the IPhone XS Max is designed with spacious screen display, it is unable to once again manage to defeat the others in term of the pixel density. Thus, which one is the winner? The phone series containing the most “terrible” pixels per inch belong to the V40 ThinQ, which makes LG a more outstanding brand on pixel density compared to other diverse phones nowadays. Besides, we will conduct more testing to examine more closely and make detailed comparisons in other aspects of these phones. Lighting capacity can be another typical example to which we need to pay more attention.

In summary, though there are still some minor differences among these phones, all can make users absolutely satisfied at colorful videos, attractive stories and surfing the social internet at the extremely fast speed.

3 rear cameras vs. 1

The testing is still on. Camera is the topic of our next comparisons, which takes us enormous effort and we’re sure it will not dissatisfy you. What we want to show is that All the Pixel, IPhone, LG and Galaxy phones are released with the Al camera software and the three LG, Apple and Samsung phones are customized with options inside your phone’s settings. The LG V40 is particularly designed with the never-existing-before five cameras in total, of which there are three rear ones. These rear cameras are so arrogant that you can have your shots captured from each single rear camera individually or even simultaneous combination of all three cameras.

Despite the same AI camera software applied, there are still differences among the four. Photos captured by the LG and Samsung phones can be changeable because the camera senses the background scenes which max up to 20 scenes in total. Some examples of these scenes are the blue sky or some beloved pets. The V40, together with the IPhone XS Max, also delivers you the fantastic photos by coming up with the digital effects. Whereas the Pixel 3 XL satisfies all its lovers by the amazing selfie photos with the large angle capture and the natural light without any flash. These photos definition can’t be broken even how largely you zoom the images.

Later, Google has delivered a tool to help address the blurry and smudged images which comfort you with the most satisfactory shot. Right after you change and turn on the capturing settings, the Pixel 3 XL can help you a much better photos than ever, even with low-light and faded background.

Ultimately, the multiple cameras nowadays become the pretty hot trend which can be absolutely heading the phones produced by various software giants. However, with a single rear camera, the Pixel 3 XL from Google breaks the long-lasting conception about the standard phones with more than one unique rear camera. Google now has the complete capacity of fairly competing with LG for the V40 ThinQ and Huawei for its P20 Pro, both of which contain three rear cameras. The question comes out that is it really essential to buy a phone only with the purpose of owning awesome photos or just a trick to fame?

In contrast, a second front-facing camera lens on the Pixel 3 XL does make the Google’s darling a great breakthrough. However, to completely recognize this outstanding camera, we need to work harder to see the impressive and comprehensive results.

The storage space wars

An undeniable fact is that times has gone, various things has changed. For a couple of years ago, the maximum storage space for a standard phone is about 64-gigabyte. However, this storage capacity has only been the starting point for some phones offered by LG and Google at that time. Even more remarkably, Samsung has just pushed off Galaxy Note 9’s lid with the minimum 128GB storage repository. Plus, you can absolutely pay with pretty higher cost for another Note 9 phone whose storage space is over four times larger (512GB) than the one with the lowest price. It is worth remembering that the repository mentioned above even excludes the external space for saving data which comes from a microSD card with the capacity up to 512GB.

Meanwhile, the iPhone XS Max is released with three storage options, which are 64GB, 256GB and 512GB. The 512GB storage space is the largest and Apple-product lovers can not expand the capacity by adding a microSD card like Galaxy phones because Apple doesn’t provide any support for this. In contrast, LG allows you to upgrade your storage repository with the max level of 2 terabytes via the V40 ThinQ although the highest space of the microSD card is, theoretically, at 512GB nowadays. Meanwhile, Google offers the Pixel 3 XL with the uttermost space of 128GB in total, along with Google Photos, an application allows you to save your photos unlimitedly online. However, no phones can defeat Samsung’s Galaxy Note 9 for the largest capacity.

Battery life

It’s pretty tricky for us to determine which wins the battery life if relying solely on the run-time for each single charge, because the battery can be greatly influenced by various factors when the phones are turned on. The battery capacity, which is measured in milliamp hour, briefly called mAh, is not a determinant of battery life, but it is also due to the efficiency of the processor, of the phone’s fundamental software level in controlling numerous resources. Plus, one obvious truth is that battery life also depends on what you are playing on your phone and how many applications are on at the same time as well.

The LG V40 is said to have the smallest battery capacity compared to the Pixel 3 XL and Galaxy Note 9. However, the leading phones of LG have the wonderful power to help you a whole-day experience in real life.

BATTERY LIFE TESTING

Unlike the three well-known big-screen phone brands, no specific battery capacity is provided by Apple. The giant software group just reveals some general and ambiguous information on the IPhone’s battery. Specifically, Apply claims that after being charged once, the IPhone XS Max’s operation can be kept for 90 minutes, which is a longer period than its predecessor, the IPhone X. Some tests to determine the battery life of the IPhone XS and XS Max are still on the way, thus, more specific details of the battery capacity can be revealed on a recent day. Here's a test protocol of CNET to have contribution to make a better decision.

Additional features

Thus, all of these luxury phones are slightly different from each other mainly due to the camera performance and the individual promotion moves, which makes the phones favorite ones.

Here are some typical characteristics of each single phone. For example, the Galaxy Note 9 is different from other brand-name phones due to its S-Pen stylus with the remote ability. The LG V40 attracts users by its super-awesome camera system which contains the total 5 cameras, 3 rear and 2 front-facing ones, an unmatched highlight ever. Meanwhile, the IPhone XS Max offers the screen unlocking feature by face scanning, Memoji animations and the portrait mode, which lets you focus on the main subject and absolutely make the behind blurred. The portrait lighting mode also appears on the LG V40.

Google, meanwhile, releases the Pixel 3 XL to become an excellent phone for those loving beautiful capture shots due to its staggering zoom capacities and by this phone, you can experience various perfect and sharp photos during both days and nights.

However, the price is still slightly different among the stores or carriers where you buy the big-screen phones. The 64GB V40 cost ranges from $900 to $980 in the United State.
