Let’s compare the two and find out.
Pixel phones focus instead on the essentials and are much more affordable, offering better value for money.
For instance, the Galaxy S23 launched at $799 while the Pixel 7 starts at $599.

Such is not the case for their mid-range phones, though.
That said, the Pixel has become a lot more competitive recently.
Both companies offer trade-in programs and bundle free goodies when you pre-order a new phone, though.

Also, many users complain that portrait shots on the Pixel look subpar at best.
Samsung’s flagships take sharper photos and videos, and have excellent edge detection for portrait shots.
However,Samsung’s image processing is too aggressivesometimes, and it can lead to your photos looking over-processed.

Both phones offer hardware-level security;Samsung uses its Knox frameworkand Pixel does it with its Titan security chips.
Galaxy phones also communicate really well with Galaxy Buds and Watch.
In fact, you’re able to even search for songs by humming lyrics to Google Assistant.
We also prefer using Modes and Routines (previously called Bixby Routines) over Google Assistant Routines.
This level of control makes Modes and Routines one of thebest features on Samsung phones.
However, Google leaps ahead again when it comes to image recognition.
In the parts of the world where Samsung uses its own Exynos chips, things are much closer.
Pixel phones are also slower at charging, sadly.
Simply put, if you want more battery life and faster charging, pick Samsung over Google.
Samsung or Google: Which Is Right for You?
Many Pixel users reported facing software bugs, connectivity issues, and unresponsive fingerprint sensors.
Furthermore, Samsung phones handle abuse much better than Pixel phones as has been demonstrated in durability tests.
