If you're looking for a more budget-friendly option with solid overall performance, the iPhone 11 is a good choice. However, if you're willing to invest more for advanced features, the Pixel 6 Pro offers a higher-resolution screen, faster refresh rate, and superior camera performance, both in still photo and video quality. The Pixel 6 Pro is also a newer device with a more contemporary design, including a curved screen edge and a punch-hole camera, and it operates on Android, while the iPhone 11 uses iOS. The iPhone 11 does have a slightly longer battery life and weighs less, which may be important if you prioritize portability and longevity over the latest tech. Give Feedback

8.0
The Google Pixel 6 Pro has very good overall camera quality, while the Apple iPhone 11 has only fair overall camera quality.
The Google Pixel 6 Pro provides a superior selfie experience and overall photography and videography capabilities due largely to its higher software optimization and advanced features in areas like dynamic range and low light performance for both photos and videos. On the other hand, the Apple iPhone 11, while offering fairly good results in these areas, falls short of the Pixel's advanced camera system and software enhancements, making it less versatile and less capable under varying conditions.

"The iPhone 11 delivers superb cameras, fast performance and excellent battery life, making it the iPhone to buy for many people. The cameras are very good, thanks to an ultra-wide lens and a Night mode for better low-light performance. This device also has IP68-rated water resistance, which means that it can withstand 2 meters of water for 30 minutes, and is one of the best waterproof phones out there."

"The Google Pixel 6 Pro has one of the best screens you’ll find on a smartphone, and you’ll get a bright and bold picture no matter what you’re doing. That’s a big deal for many, and for some it may be reason enough to buy this phone. Its main sensor is fantastic, the telephoto is strong and there are new exciting software features too."

About Apple
The tech giant called Apple is synonymous with the most popular smartphone in the world: the iPhone. Known for their build quality and aesthetics, as well as for their excellent integration between hardware and software, iPhones have defined the smartphone industry ever since their conception and they continue to do so by setting new industry standards. Apple's own operating system, called iOS, is known for its simplicity and ease of use, and the company tends to complement it well by creating devices with some of the most powerful processing hardware available in the mobile world. The iPhone is also known for its robust ecosystem of accessories, as it facilitates a very seamless experience when interacting with other Apple products, more so than most of its competitors.
About Google
Google can be considered a relatively new player in the smartphone industry, joining as late as 2016 with their phone, the Google Pixel. Since then, the Pixel lineup has undergone many changes, but it has always been characterized by a focus on photography and clean software, by providing a pure Android experience. By virtue of Google being the creator of the Android operating system, Pixels are known for receiving timely software updates and for being supported with updates for a long time. Additionally, over the past few generations of devices, Google started designing their own processors. This allowed for the implementation of unique software features that are not present in any other phone, such as automatic call screening and unique voice transcribing capabilities.
