The iPhone XR also has a big, 6.1-inch LCD screen with a 1,792x828-pixel resolution display. It's coated in what Apple calls the "most durable glass ever" on a smartphone, although we don't know for sure if that means Corning's latest edition of Gorilla Glass or not. If you lay the iPhone XR down, it doesn't sit entirely flat on its back as the rear camera lens sticks out. That bump also means the lens may be more susceptible to damage, like what happened in our iPhone XR drop test.

The Pixel 3 doesn't feel as high-end, but it's still a solidly built phone and its smaller size makes it more comfortable to hold. It looks similar to last year's Pixel 2, but subtle design tweaks like thinner bezels and a glossy lining around the phone add more polish this time around. Colors look slightly punchier, too, than the iPhone, on the sharper OLED screen (5.5-inch with a 1,080p resolution). Like the iPhone, the Pixel also doesn't have a home button. And the larger Pixel 3 XL has one of the thickest onscreen notches we've seen. Yes, you can hide it, but it's not very flattering.
