Google absolutely the clear winner here. The almost €600 price point can't be beaten and really goes to show just how overpriced Samsung are.

Easy, if it's as late as Samsung's updates, then it means nothing.
"..but while we're talking about resale value, brands like Vivo and Oppo are worse than Samsung. "
Absolutely not true in Europe, even Xiaomi has better resale value than Samsung here. Apple has by far the best resale value yes, but Samsung is one of the worst.

I'm in Europe, still there are no service centers for vivo you are right, but you are also correct that they make great phones, so I don't even need a service center.
"I don't really trust Chinese brands, because the build quality and longevity of the phones aren't very good. "
Why wouldn't it be good? I never had build quality issues with my chinese flagships, however Samsung's camera rings are gonna fall down at the some point, and that rear panel on the Ultra didn't seem super secure either.

They both crappy overpriced phones basically. You want proper flagship? You go to Oppo X8 Ultra or Xiaomi 15 Ultra or Vivo 200x Pro, Samsung and Pixels leave it for kids or some fanboys 🙂

Claudespeed, 13 Feb 2025It's only better with the rear camera. Let's do a... more"Your preference to vivo doesn't make sense.."
Why wouldn't it make sense? They offer what I want, while Samsung does not.
I'm on my second vivo phone, never had issues with the first one, loved the OS, so I've switched to a bigger one, which is the only reason I've switched. I have an Infinix Zero Ultra (liked the design and ultra fast charging, and wanted to experience with a brand that's new to me) as well, and I was switching between that and my vivo iQOO 5 Pro, I liked the camera and OS better on the vivo, but I started using the Infinix more, as I preferred the size, so I've soon switched to a vivo X Note, which was even bigger than the Zero Ultra, had even better cameras than the iQOO, and I soon realized that that's the perfect phone size for me.
I know, I know Samsung just recently with the S25 Ultra made their screen size bigger, now very close to the vivo, but naah that's just how it looks on paper, I've held both next to each other and the vivo is still a lot bigger. I also don't like the software on Samsung devices, I'm not going back to slow charging either, plus the cameras to me are just not good enough, I take a lot of pictures at night as well, and it's just an important feature to me, that I expect to be the best possible if I'm paying as much as the S25 Ultra costs.
I'm also fully aware that the S25 Ultra is bigger than the vivo X200 Pro, and it's likely going to be bigger than even the X200 Ultra, but the whole package of what vivo offers (cameras, OS) would still make me choose the X200 Pro. At the time of me buying the X Note, so in 2023, my other flagship option would've been the S23 Ultra with a better chipset, but not only did I already dislike One UI, and slow charging, the S23 series came in tiny boxes with only a cable and the phone, while my vivo had a pre-installed screen protector, came with a very nice case,good quality usb-c earphones, a nice thick cable, and the 80W charger, so to me the choice was obvious.
"Only tech savy people that are on a tight budget buy Chinese phones only because they offer more features and better performance for a much cheaper price."
Even if they were the same price, more features, and better features are always a plus, especially if I'm not sacrificing anything.

How could i... moreIt's only better with the rear camera. Let's do an experiment, we take two brand new s25u and x200 pro and walk the street asking people which phone would they like to take. We all know which stock gonna get empty first.
So even if vivo have superior display which is only visible on paper and faster charging, i myself and many others would still choose Samsung. Your preference to vivo doesn't make sense, it's like choosing a top notch advanced chinese suv thats full of latest high tech to a Mercedes G class just because the Chinese managed to cram more features in it. A galaxy is still a galaxy, same for iPhone. Vivo still has the reputation of cheap Chinese brand in my country. Only tech savy people that are on a tight budget buy Chinese phones only because they offer more features and better performance for a much cheaper price.

With Apple or Samsung, you have service centers all over the place, and you can easily get your phone repaired. I don't really trust Chinese brands, because the build quality and longevity of the phones aren't very good. They have great specs, but while we're talking about resale value, brands like Vivo and Oppo are worse than Samsung. iPhones have the best resale value. I don't know how you can say that the length of the software support doesn't matter, especially since people are keeping their phones for longer than ever before now. Please tell me how many years of software updates you get from Vivo or Oppo? I would be very interested to know. One final point....if Vivo phones are so good, then why does Samsung sell significantly more phones? One would think that if their phones were that good, then they would sell more of them, especially because they are cheaper (cost wise) and offer the same or better features as you say.

Anonymous, 13 Feb 2025Galaxy S25 Ultra is too overkill to be compared with any Pi... morePixel ain't even flagship. Maybe a flagging ship that capsized long ago. Google starts with flagship killer nexus with flagship chipsets then turns it to a flagship only to strip it and put a customised crapsynos tensor in it. Only reason it survives is because Googles good with the software on the mediocre cameras. Theyre committing business suicide like htc did... Then again Google did buy all the htc staff.. You get what you pay for Google. 😂

jsoprano75, 13 Feb 2025This is true, the S25 Ultra is the best phone on the market... moreApproaching 850 charge cycles on my 120w xiaomi 12tpro. That's over 2 years worth of gaming sessions every single day. Only thing that hasn't lasted is the charging cable which still actually works but the casing on cable snapped in a gruesome way. My phone doesn't get any warmer than slightly warm and it's done in 20min. All ads disabled from day one and it's actually been quite the beast. Hyper os fluidity is icing on the cake especially considering most phones get worse after 2 years of updates. Only real annoying thing is the battery saver which is bugged.

jsoprano75, 13 Feb 2025Agreed, as long as Google continues to use the lame Tensor ... morePixel's tensor issue is making the pixel lose to stuff like S22 ultra and poco F5. Phones from years ago, Google trying to build a time machine to the past with pixel.

Pixel camera is still better than galaxy, much more detail and lower noise.
