Here's how Google's new $800 Pixel 3 compares to the $750 iPhone XR (GOOG, GOOGL, AAPL)

If you're in the market for a new phone right now, you have a tough choice to make: Apple's iPhone XR, or the Google Pixel 3?

The two phones have a lot in common. They both come in fun colors, have standout cameras, pack a ton of impressive features in a somewhat affordable package (or, at least, more affordable than some other options), and start shipping this month. 

In fact, the devices are so similar, the biggest question for most people will be not about the hardware, but about the operating system software: Apple iOS vs. Google's Android. 

We can't help you make that decision, but we can help you parse out the major similarities and differences between the two phones.

The iPhone XR is slightly cheaper than the Pixel 3: it starts at $749, while the Pixel 3 starts at $799.

But the Pixel 3 currently has a leg up on the iPhone XR: you can pre-order it now, and it will start shipping October 18. 

The iPhone XR, on the other hand, isn't available to pre-order until October 19, and it won't start shipping until October 26. 

The iPhone XR comes in more colors than the Pixel 3.

The iPhone XR comes in six colors: black, white, yellow, coral, blue, and red. 

The Pixel 3 comes in three colors, which Google has given quirky names: Just Black, Clearly White, and Not Pink. 

The iPhone XR comes in more storage options than the Pixel 3.

You can get an iPhone XR in three storage sizes: 64 GB, 128 GB, and 256 GB. 

The Pixel 3 comes in similar sizes, but there are only two to choose from — 64 GB and 128 GB.
