Apple’s iPhone 8 and Google Pixel 2 belong in the upper ranks of any top smartphone list. Both devices come with top-of-the-line processors, cameras and are also most comfortable phones made to hold in hand. But with similar features, which compact smartphone is the best to buy?

Design wise both smartphones come with the similar form factor, but iPhone 8’s glass sandwich design looks a whole lot sleeker than Pixel 2’s aluminium back. In terms of screen size, Google Pixel 2, however, packs a larger 5-inch display against iPhone’s 4.7-inch screen. The Pixel 2 also offers higher FHD resolution at 1920 x 1080 pixels along with OLED technology for improved colours and contrast. The iPhone 8 uses older LCD technology and has even fewer pixels at 1334 x 750 resolution.
