Google Pixel 9 Pro XL vs. Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra

31 August 2024
Google finally takes on Samsung in the Ultra segment.

Sort by:

"
In our tests, the Pixel scored an outstanding 2,365 nits of max brightness in auto mode and more than 1,300 nits in manual mode. That's hands-down the brightest display on a flagship this year (maybe even before that). The S24 Ultra caps at 1,440 nits in Auto mode."

i never expected a pixel to have by far,the highest brightness of any other device

But tell me why phones without the s-pen can't fit more battery into their phones? The pixel is a bad battery device achieving lower scores with drastically poor performance. Also the s-pen isn't to write on the screen, the phone is wide but not wide enough, it is used to sign PDF and document on device

I'm not saying pixel lags or anything (I don't use them) but In terms of animation and UI interaction pixels are just bad, Samsung are even getting better almost ios level of bubbly slow animation

            Not really defending Google here, it's still overpriced for the performance you get, but you get the point.

              It's an easy Pixel for the camera. Software wise, I don't mind using either one, even though I'm more of a vanilla AOSP guy.

I have S24U and I never use it. I use notes but I prefer typing more than writing and I don't doodle that much or at all. Even signing document is rare for me. Using for air actions or remotely is still very rare situation and gimmicky for me. I would prefer more battery than spen. Having S and Note series separate was a blessing.

I dare to bet that it also beats it in the photography department! The pixel 9 only wins with the AI marketing trick and this is said by a pixel fan who has already had several hahahahahaha. We have to wait for a good offer of $800 or less or for the next pixel 10.

                        It will sound since I've been a big fan of stock android since the Nexus days, where I had almost all of them, I was a user of the pixel 6 pro and 7 pro* but this time the s24u instead of that mid-range with a high-end price! Luckily the alliance between Google and Samsung ends with this device...

                                I have a 16/512 Pixel 9 Pro XL which could run benchmarks flawlessly, maybe that's an issue of media unit.

                                  I swear, tech reviewers like MKBHD will still give the Pixel 9 'phone of the year' despite the big price hike.

                                    Why DXO give camera score on Pixel a lot higher than S24?
