Google just shot its own foot when the announced the starting price of their Pixel smartphones. Starting at $649 and in India at Rs 57,000, people's android phone is no longer affordable. For all those who made jokes about selling a Kidney to buy an iPhone, you'll probably have to sell your other one to get a Pixel that comes to India on October 13.
But there are existing phones in the market that are better in every sense on paper and also on convenience. One such phone is the OnePlus 3. And we at News18 Tech get you a comparison between the OnePlus 3 and Google Pixel.1. Build Quality
Google Pixel is a well-made smartphone and there is no doubt about that, but the OnePlus 3 is an equally handome looking device. The colours available on the Pixel are Black, Silver and limited edition Blue, whereas OnePlus 3 is also now available in soft gold.

Processor
The OnePlus 3 runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor with a colossal 6GB RAM, Whereas the Pixel phones will come with Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 821 processor with 4GB RAM. The standard storage option on the OnePlus 3 is 64GB and the Pixel offers you two storage options of 32GB or 128GB. Both the devices lack expandable storage. On paper both these android phones are superperformers and it's neck to neck on the processing speed front.

Camera

Google also talked about the Pixel's camera performance, touting DxOMark's rating of the Pixel camera as the highest score for a mobile camera ever. But as past has been a witness these numbers really don't account for much when camera is put to use in real-world conditions. IN reality both the cameras are upto the mark for modern day usage.

Price
The Google Pixel will come at a starting price of Rs 57,000 in India. Google Nexus was known for its affordability and stock android experience. But the OnePlus 3 at Rs 27,999 is almost half of the Google Pixel price. This is the ultimate nail in the coffin for Google Pixel in India as ours is a very price sensitive market.
Google has tried to do an Apple here, but the move has definitely backfired for them even before the phones have reached the Indian market.
