  1. I have both phones, I use a Pixel 9 Pro as my daily driver, why? It's easier to hold, the Samsung Ultra is too big. I like the software better on the pixel , . Ya the Samsung is more powerful, but don't play video games on my phone. Both Are good phones, but for comfort reasons I use the Pixel

  2. Oh, you Samsung fans are something else. You get so worked up about your brand, it's like you think Samsung is the greatest thing since sliced bread. I get it, you like your phones. But chill out, man. There are other great phones out there too. Pixels have the best point-and-shoot cameras, for example. And not everyone needs all the bells and whistles that Samsung phones have. Some people just want a simple and easy-to-use phone. So, what's so special about Samsung? I don't get it. Why do you guys have to be so annoying about it?🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️☠️☠️

  3. I had the s22 ultra pixel 9 pro XL in the OnePlus 12. I like the OnePlus 12. The best it charges faster than both them phones and it's just more user-friendly to use. It has so many customizable options the pixel would be my second choice Samsung's a great phone. I just got bored with the UI since I've had so many Samsungs over the past 10 years. Once I started buying OnePlus phones, I kind of stayed with them. They're just unbelievable and powerful. Very powerful

  4. The last two bullets of the Pixel are pretty irrelevant. Pixel isn't stock android, stock android sucks (look for LTT video on it). Google just uses a different UI for their OS. The thermometer itself is novelty, it's not going to be something that you use everyday or even every month. The Samsung S-Pen is pretty niche too but it's nice to have something that you can doodle on every now and then.

    Also, a huge missed op is the integration with other devices and services (watch, ring, buds) or their lack off. I think that this would also be a reason that someone picks one or the other. I personally have the S24 ultra and considered going to the Pixel but stopped when I considered that I would lose some function with my watch and ring, and would loose all access to all my purchases (fonts, themes) from the galaxy store.

  5. I traded my S24 Ultra for the pixel 9 pro XL, zero regrets, in my side by side shots, they would go back and forth with what had the best photo or video, something about using the Pixel that is far superior than the iPhone or S24 Ultra. Best phone to date for me and I've had all the "flagships"

  6. I'm a mobile software engineer, and I had to test the P9P XL. My personal device is an S24U. all I know is I was literally mad when I left my S24U to "test" the Pixel 9 Pro XL. That has NEVER happened to me before in history with Pixels. This shit is just too boring, too iPhoney. I don't care if the build is finally "decent", it's still a half-baked computer science thesis project filled with bugs…
