The iPhone 15 Pro Max has absolutely outpaced the Google Pixel 8 Pro in a speed test, as revealed on the PhoneBuff YouTube channel. The comparison was conducted using a robotic arm to eliminate any human variables.

The verdict: the Tensor G3 chipset falls significantly short of the A17 Pro. What’s more, Google’s SoC even lags behind previous-generation top solutions from Apple and Qualcomm. Even with a larger RAM capacity of 12 GB compared to 8 GB, the new Pixel doesn’t gain an edge.

The iPhone 15 Pro Max breezed through the video processing tests, leaving the Google Pixel 8 Pro in the dust. Apps like Word and Excel, for instance, failed to stay in Pixel’s memory.

In the end, the top-tier iPhone took 2 minutes and 48 seconds to accomplish all activities, while the Google smartphone took 3 minutes and 28 seconds.

However, there are some apps where the Pixel even comes out faster, like Snapseed.
