I have both of these devices and I've been switching between them every 3 to 4 days for about a month. My biggest gripe with the Samsung is the big bulky heavy feel. It just doesn't feel very ergonomic when you use it with a case. Not really a gamer at all, so that makes the Pixel in general more attractive with its AI features. However, Samsung has really stepped up its game with One UI 6.0. As a tech enthusiast, I don't see myself keeping either phone for more than 2 years, so that's why it's generally the Pixel for me.
*S24U has a better screen, way better performance, better battery-life, S-pen etc.* I prefer Pixel's photos but S24U is better in portraits, videos, selfies and zoom too. I also like material UI more than One UI although both are great. Overall, *S24U > Pixel 8 pro*
thats spot on and realistic, ive used both phones and thats exactly what i think, the sad part is, i had alot of problems with wifi6 with the samsung, batery life is about the same, software on the pixel is better even tho i like the samsung
Thanks for the video. But my s24U has big problems photographing pets and moving people indoors. You did a little test with the swinging pink thing on the rope but then did not show the pictures 🤔. I'm using the recommended camera assistant settings.
The s24 ultra's camera is very poor for photos. Otherwise, the phone is amazing. I sold mine due to how bad the pictures were. It was way too poor. I'm using my backup pixel 7 pro until a better phone hits the market that is somewhat worth the price.
@@NguyenNam20777 Ajajajajaja Almost 500 dollars less than the Samsung that the Xiaomi is cheaper than the honor and especially the Huawei Pura 70 Pro. And this one has even a bad processor even worse than the tensioner. 1000 dollars vs cell phones of 1500 dollars approx. Which is bad for its price when the Huawei costs 1300 dollars. And it doesn't even 5G. Xioami is more expensive than Samsung and its software is horrible. Me I think the tensioner is fine for the price of the pixel. being that it costs less than all its competition
I have had both since launch and think both are excellent. The S24U has the edge when it comes to hardware for sure. But I think the P8P is more fun and interesting to use. If the difference in price is several hundred dollars then I'd recommend the P8P hands down. If price is no object.... Get both!!!
@vincetoreno6178 What is fun about using Pixel? I genuinely always heard people say it's vanilla android experience was the smoothest. How does that make it fun? It doesn't even have that many features or customization options unless you go out of your way to root the phone.
Pixel more fun? It has no features to play with. It is as locked down as an iPhone. No real customization features like Sammy has. Any of Pixel's AI features exist on S24 Ultra too.....
How can you have much better hdr and more natural colors at the same time ? Natural means keeping the view as faithful as possible, when you expose each part of the image so it doesn't "clip", it can't be natural.
I'm using the 23 plus. The most annoying thing in this camera is the HDR halo effect and andd sharpening photos which makes your skin or object looks so dry. It's so frequent that you can't ignore it. One friend has pixel 6, almost all of the photos we take are either with pixel or the iphone 14 (especially for selfies) From what I can see, pixel directly competes with iphones. Pixel 6 is superior compared to my s23 plus. There are some advantages for having telephoto and some exclusive camera features but from photography perspective i prefer iphone or pixel
I found this video while trying to figure out if I should return the S24 Ultra I bought to replace my Pixel 6 Pro. After using it for almost 2 weeks, I've decided to return it and get a Pixel 8 Pro. The hardware on the S24 is definitely better than the Pixel 8 Pro, but I just cannot stand the OneUI. There a bunch of small convenience features that were on the Pixel and not on the Samsung (like using the volume button to toggle between sound, vibrate and mute) that I found myself really missing, and it seems like most people use different launchers or Goodlock to get around this. At the end of the day I just found myself trying to recreate the Pixel UI and at that point figured I may as well just get a Pixel.
512 storage and no microsd slot...? That's weird. When you're getting to point of these large sized phones, you need that option. What are you going to partition off 512 or carry around a ext h/sdd or NVME USBC stick?
I loved almost everything with the 24u but went back to my 8 pro because of the camera and screen call and sort of now playing (I made Shazam work mostly).
I bought the pixel 8 pro and it costs roughly £37 per month over 24 months. I honestly wanted the s24 ultra but the cheapest I could find it at the time was around £50 per month. I have big hands but the pixel 8 pro was just more comfortable to hold and use. For me the pixel 8 pro is a good phone for the price compared with the s24u when saving £300.
How many months are you talking? S24 256GB is about £715 now in the UK, so just over £100pa for 7 years support. unlimited calls and SMS with 50GB data £8pm with Smarty (Three network)
@@kierenkd as I said above 24 month contract. Where can you buy s24 ultra from a reputable retailer for £715? Cheapest I have found is Amazon at £936 which didn't have blurry item photos and was from an online retailer I've never heard of that was offering an international model. Might be fine with Amazon customer support if there were any issues but not guaranteed like a local company or known brand retailer. The total prices of the contracts at the time of purchase for me were around £875 for P8P and £1200 for S24U and both of those were cheaper then buying phone outright with SIM only contract alongside. So for me the P8P was the better deal
@@ArtixBlader Not sure how I missed that - cheers. I didn't say Ultra - I said S24 256GB (rrp £859) - £709 on Samsung now with £100 trade in on any phone with a working screen (more if a recent iPhone / pixel/ samsung but only £110 for my S9). Plus 5% discount if you buy through Samsung app = £578 plus a £10 Galaxy store credit but no idea what you can spend that on. I always buy outright too & sim only. Just jumped form Vodafone to Smarty as better roaming & data for under £10 Internation Samsungs seem hard to reset region since recent boot loader locking, so things like esim, voLTE, Samsung Wallet, etc have a high chance of not working if you get Asian / US phones. A cheap EU import should be OK for UK use (I think)
@@kierenkd I thought you made a typo on s24 (missing out the ultra) because I was talking about S24U Vs P8P as that's what the video was about. I think the base s24 is great. If it weren't for the chip set variation internationally and if the camera was comparable to the non-pro pixel 8 I probably would have gone with it. I very nearly went with the base s23 but the 7 years of updates and best in class camera for still photography sold the P8P for me. I can get by just fine without the bleeding edge mobile processor. The G3 is much better than the 855+ my OnePlus 7T came with as you would expect after 4 years.
Pixel may edge out the S24 in camera sometimes but the S24 is absolutely insane. I can't go back to the Pixel after using my S24 Ultra. Camera is phenomenal, battery life is excellent, best display, amazing build quality. You honestly can't go wrong with either... However the Ultra is just insane.
@@michaelbrown5680 oh no I agree... I meant aside from camera performance. S24 Ultra is still excellent though. Nothing beats a pixel in terms of stills though.
i find it interesting that no RUclipsr is talking about the flawed color science on the S24 Ultra. its progressively worse than the S23 Ultra. I have sold my S24 Ultra and moved back to S23 Ultra. Also the colors totally change when shooting in 200 megapixels of 50 megapixels. This cannot be overlooked.
Google needs to add more customization, better chipset (we'll see with the Pixel 10). Design wise I prefer the pixel camera bump & rounded corner. The UI is also much cleaner but lacks some customization,
Less bloatware would mean no Google apps and no Microsoft suite for Samsung Dex users and students. The app store is literally Google's app store, so why did everyone bring up bloatware?
I hope this comment gets seen. XDA Developers was my go-to place for all things ROOT. My entry point was Google earlier line: the Nexus. So many things to do when rooting it. How is XDA looking now with the Pixel and Samsung rooting community - moreso the Pixel?
Great video! Can’t wait for the S25 Ultra, I currently have the iPhone 13 Pro Max. Going to change things up and try the Galaxy. My last Samsung was a S8 Plus which I miss.👍
I got an s24 ultra to replace my 23 Pro Max. Amazing. Night and day. I also have the 8 Pro, and can honestly say that if cameras are important to you, this is the one to get.
I love samsungs because of power and OneUI. Im not that much a fan of the camera. Today i installed Gcam and its night and day in quality! I feel like its a pixel with oneui and I couldn't have been happier
gcam is a sidegrade over all - but regardless, it forces an ad down your throat for 10s before you can use, or its monthly sub charge. No thanks. I will have to see about getting a version of this from one of the FOSS stores.
I haven't watched the full video (Just saw the verdict). But the concept of multi-tasking is sold too much these days. I wish it made sense but the more you do multi-tasking the more you end up doing "multi" things badly. It could be a skill issue on my part though 🙂
Good multi tasking means you're in the middle of something in an app, get a notification and take care of it, and then come back to the first app in the same place you were, without it closing in the background and losing your place
Gifted my S20 FE to my Grandpa who is 92 years old. He rarely uses it though. Mainly for sending voice memos, taking a few pictures in his garden (he is really impressed by the camera) and reading the news every once in a while. Besides that, it's his emergency phone call device (although any other phone could do this as well).
iPhone 15 Pro Max isn’t better for photos and videos ? In fact, I really like the latest Samsungs, whether it's Android or One UI, and then the large boxy screen, perfect format, etc. But what has always kept me with iPhones is the photo and video quality, which I find superior to Samsungs, and also the fact that I can never get the voice command to work with the Gboard keyboard. I understand that with the Samsung keyboard you can use Google voice typing simply, but I don't really like Samsung's keyboard. What would you recommend? Do you think this smartphone is better than the 15 Promax right now? I'm talking in terms of photos and videos.
With good lock you get key Cafe. There you can edit the samsung keyboard. From button placement to size of keys. I made my samsung keyboard a 1:1 og the gboard. I like the native features of samsung
The video is comparing the P8P to the S24U only. If you have the 15 pro max (like I do) just stick with it as yes, photos and videos are generally better. Samsung keyboard is crap and no customisation in keys cafe improved it for me so when I had the S22 ultra I just used Gboard.
@@chitrarthpixel 8 pro is like 1000 dollars if you don't get a discount. I literally just looked it up. Also, the s24 and s24+ are cheaper than the s24 ultra and still have better chipsets and hardware features than the P8 Pro.
@@jordanjackson8873 dont know where you are looking or may be at the moment price is high but its an established fact that all pixels stay at $150-200 discount even here in India pixel 8 pro is equivalent to $ 1050 vs $1300 without any discount
Dang it So overall, the Samsung just has a bunch of little tiny qualities that are over the pixel...but the pixel is cheaper... I'm still angry at samsung because they are making phones impossible to repair
@GameN3rdz but they only have a year or 2 of updates left right? As they will slowly be less and less supported by the ecosystem, I got the freaking s21 ultra the 1 year there was no samsung note so I lost my s pen plus I no longer have removable storage, atleast the s22 brought the pen back and made the lowest storage option 256, I got stuck with a 128 gig because that's all my carrier had, I'm so pissed, the pixel will be good for 7 years and is relatively cheap but I just started to de Google my like by getting rid of my cloud storage and self hosting to safe money and not get my information taken to be sold
The pixel screen recording function, i don't understand why a longer clip do not have sound even if i opt for it. And the pixel can't even mirror flip an image. This is a basic feature i thought, and it can't even do that. Disappointing.
Pixel is far superior to any Samsung phone based on custom ROM availability. Unfortunately XDA forgot about how they were started. Never again Samsung or any other brand without custom ROM availability. I like my calyxos or grapheneneos. Why don't XDA talk about custom ROMs or repairibility?
I really couldn't care less about oneui and if I tried I probably would be able to find a ROM with oneui for my pixel. My point was is the phone has unlockable bootloader or plenty of available ROM? That's what XDA should talk about. I remember the days on XDA forums when someone started to talk about iPhone that was an automatic ban. I had few Samsung devices in past and I regretted my last s21 ultra purchase and the best (the reasons above) Samsung device I've owned was the galaxy nexus
Not exactly, neither of them very privacy friendly, if I have to choose I'd choose google one over oneui. My ROM list would be 1. Grapheneos, 2. calyxos. 3.Lineageos with microg, 4 /e/OS. End of the day when I already paid for the hardware and I want to be able install any ROM that I'd like.
Why the Display of S24U always get that hyped? Yes the anti glare reflection is great but no high PWM, and on the Ultras the viewing angles are just one of the badest of all "Flagships". OP12, GP8P, X14U, HM6P has all much better Displays. Also color Calibration, Gama and this is one of the worst on s24 of all the Flagships
I've known a couple over 80 who have their iPhones and iPads totally figured out. I don't mean basic calling and texting but using the advanced features.
Pixel absolutely suck I choose this as my Android trying something different I thought it was my phone so I took it back and got a new after telling Google it’s nothing working properly cause it was running slow and temperature was out of this work to run RUclips I realize it’s just the phone it sucks that tensor chip is azz….screen call is the best thing in this phone other than that save your money ….i keep laughing at the fact that they have Samsung helping do there chips meanwhile Samsung buys their chips from Qualcomm cmon google ….think about it
I agree. I had a P7P and tried three different P8P (I tried them for a bit and ended up returning them). They did improved some stuff in the P8P, like the screen quality is better. But the fingerprint reader is still terrible, and I could literally sit in one place and watch the bars for my cell service disappear and come back. Whatever chip they're using for cell service is crap. My house is near a tower, so I get like 300mbps on 5G, but the P8P constantly would drop service on all three that I tried.
I'd make a case for the OnePlus 12. I've had all these devices, and I kept just coming back to the OnePlus. I couldn't justify the added cost for either the S24U or P8P.
Pixel 8 Pro is the best Android phone on the market. benchmarks mean nothing. both are smooth as silk. The pixel screen is fantastic. the Camera is fantastic. and best of all, it doesn't have bixby, it doesn't have 2-3 duplicate apps that are the same apps from an other App Store. it also only has ONE App Store instead of two. The S24 Ultra is a Killer phone. it is NOT worth $500 More. The google experience is better than the OneUI experience. unless you are a Big Time gamer, the Pixel is the best of the best, specially for the money. The Samsung can't take a picture of a pet to save its life. They are the wrong color they are 99% of the time Blurry or the hair looks bad. The S24 has an over all, terrible camera IMO. it is only good in the most perfect of conditions.
Featureless hardware wise? Literally has one of the best and brightest screens on top of having an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, LTPO screen, new titanium railing & Victous glass, 8K video capability, 4k slow-mo video capabilites, 100x zoom, 45W charging(Which Google doesn't have), and reverse wireless charging. Also, the S pen literally has remote capablites 😭😭How is Samsung featureless hardware wise?
you forgot to mention the bad modems that pixel has no 5g weak signal on 4g and WIFI also the so advertised AI features of the pixel don't work out side of America also pixels software updates are full of bugs and break the phone
I live in a somewhat rural state. When I get outside of the metro area, then I can tell the difference. Even in the middle of the city, my signal strength is 95-105. Very weak on my 8Pro
I have both of these devices and I've been switching between them every 3 to 4 days for about a month. My biggest gripe with the Samsung is the big bulky heavy feel. It just doesn't feel very ergonomic when you use it with a case. Not really a gamer at all, so that makes the Pixel in general more attractive with its AI features.

Which one holds the most space? Which one is easier to de-google? Which display is best for digital comic books and animated movies?
Graphene OS was made for pixel phone and from what I read it's one of the best custom OS for de-google.

With good lock you get key Cafe. There you can edit the samsung keyboard. From button placement to size of keys. I made my samsung keyboard a 1:1 og the gboard. I like the native features of samsung
The video is comparing the P8P to the S24U only. If you have the 15 pro max (like I do) just stick with it as yes, photos and videos are generally better. Samsung keyboard is crap and no customisation in keys cafe improved it for me so when I had the S22 ultra I just used Gboard.
The light year ahead HDR of PIXEL is on another level 😳
Snapdragon and OneUi for me. Pixel are bêta until the new chip with Pixel 10. Pricing is too high too
1300 vs 750
@@chitrarthpixel 8 pro is like 1000 dollars if you don't get a discount. I literally just looked it up. Also, the s24 and s24+ are cheaper than the s24 ultra and still have better chipsets and hardware features than the P8 Pro.
@@jordanjackson8873 dont know where you are looking or may be at the moment price is high but its an established fact that all pixels stay at $150-200 discount even here in India pixel 8 pro is equivalent to $ 1050 vs $1300 without any discount
Dang it So overall, the Samsung just has a bunch of little tiny qualities that are over the pixel...but the pixel is cheaper... I'm still angry at samsung because they are making phones impossible to repair
Just downgrade to a older flagship
@GameN3rdz but they only have a year or 2 of updates left right? As they will slowly be less and less supported by the ecosystem, I got the freaking s21 ultra the 1 year there was no samsung note so I lost my s pen plus I no longer have removable storage, atleast the s22 brought the pen back and made the lowest storage option 256, I got stuck with a 128 gig because that's all my carrier had, I'm so pissed, the pixel will be good for 7 years and is relatively cheap but I just started to de Google my like by getting rid of my cloud storage and self hosting to safe money and not get my information taken to be sold
There is just no comparison between this two devices.
S24 Ultra is the king
😂😂😂
Great but the fairest comparison would be with the S24+. The Ultra is in another league.
The pixel screen recording function, i don't understand why a longer clip do not have sound even if i opt for it.
And the pixel can't even mirror flip an image. This is a basic feature i thought, and it can't even do that. Disappointing.
Not even a contest
About 7-8 years of update it's much better news on Samsung phones (way better hardware).
Pixel is far superior to any Samsung phone based on custom ROM availability. Unfortunately XDA forgot about how they were started. Never again Samsung or any other brand without custom ROM availability. I like my calyxos or grapheneneos. Why don't XDA talk about custom ROMs or repairibility?
OenUI with goodlock kills all OS in the market.
I really couldn't care less about oneui and if I tried I probably would be able to find a ROM with oneui for my pixel. My point was is the phone has unlockable bootloader or plenty of available ROM? That's what XDA should talk about. I remember the days on XDA forums when someone started to talk about iPhone that was an automatic ban. I had few Samsung devices in past and I regretted my last s21 ultra purchase and the best (the reasons above) Samsung device I've owned was the galaxy nexus
It's like ordering a Samsung with android one
Not exactly, neither of them very privacy friendly, if I have to choose I'd choose google one over oneui. My ROM list would be 1. Grapheneos, 2. calyxos. 3.Lineageos with microg, 4 /e/OS. End of the day when I already paid for the hardware and I want to be able install any ROM that I'd like.
the US version is the one that is locked down - anyway, if you care about roms, then of course you get the pixel.
Why the Display of S24U always get that hyped? Yes the anti glare reflection is great but no high PWM, and on the Ultras the viewing angles are just one of the badest of all "Flagships". OP12, GP8P, X14U, HM6P has all much better Displays. Also color Calibration, Gama and this is one of the worst on s24 of all the Flagships
Pixel is better for the time the battery is alive, but since that s half of the Samsung s time, we pick samsung
Samsung being faster than the pixel in 7 years? I never thought I'd hear that.
How about neither of those? No expandable storage and fake pictures and no headphones jack makes both these options terrible.
A curious question: Are there people over eighty years of age who are very elderly people who own modern smart phones??!
I've known a couple over 80 who have their iPhones and iPads totally figured out. I don't mean basic calling and texting but using the advanced features.
Samsung is like driving a BMW M3 competition. Pixel is equivalent to a Subaru WRX.
How is this even a comparison? The S24U is FAR superior.
If price is not a concern, sure. But with current pricing the P8P might provide more bang for the buck.
@Omagus The P8P is still listed at like $1000 on Google and Amazon. The s24+ is more bang for your buck at the same price.
12:44 it's Taipei❤❤❤
Good eye
Pixel absolutely suck I choose this as my Android trying something different
I thought it was my phone so I took it back and got a new after telling Google it’s nothing working properly cause it was running slow and temperature was out of this work to run RUclips I realize it’s just the phone it sucks that tensor chip is azz….screen call is the best thing in this phone other than that save your money ….i keep laughing at the fact that they have Samsung helping do there chips meanwhile Samsung buys their chips from Qualcomm cmon google ….think about it
I agree. I had a P7P and tried three different P8P (I tried them for a bit and ended up returning them). They did improved some stuff in the P8P, like the screen quality is better. But the fingerprint reader is still terrible, and I could literally sit in one place and watch the bars for my cell service disappear and come back. Whatever chip they're using for cell service is crap. My house is near a tower, so I get like 300mbps on 5G, but the P8P constantly would drop service on all three that I tried.
@@ElMartilloBlanco yes absolutely….its terrible 😞…. I bought it based on RUclips reviews that was my experience tho
good video thank you
I want any way to root honor 8s ksa-lx9 please
I'd make a case for the OnePlus 12. I've had all these devices, and I kept just coming back to the OnePlus. I couldn't justify the added cost for either the S24U or P8P.
Ya it's crazy how much cheaper the OP12 is, with basically the same internals as Samsung.
Pixel has great camera. But what's the point if it does every 7 hours?!
Just use manual picture mode
Pixel 8 Pro is the best Android phone on the market. benchmarks mean nothing. both are smooth as silk. The pixel screen is fantastic. the Camera is fantastic. and best of all, it doesn't have bixby, it doesn't have 2-3 duplicate apps that are the same apps from an other App Store. it also only has ONE App Store instead of two. The S24 Ultra is a Killer phone. it is NOT worth $500 More. The google experience is better than the OneUI experience. unless you are a Big Time gamer, the Pixel is the best of the best, specially for the money. The Samsung can't take a picture of a pet to save its life. They are the wrong color they are 99% of the time Blurry or the hair looks bad. The S24 has an over all, terrible camera IMO. it is only good in the most perfect of conditions.
S24 ultra all day 🎉
Does the more rectangle corners mean that when I drop it, it will break easier??
S24 ultra is overall a great phone...
Why not wait till pixel 9 comes out?
Then wait for Pixel 10...

What's wrong with you guys I've already pre-pre ordered the Pixel 11 pro max XL
Waiting for pixel 9 pro as well. No need getting any of these phones yet until the pixel 9 series launches
You can't root the Samsung but you can root the Google. That's the only reason I switched to Google. Goodbye Samsung
I dont like pixel i cant customize it like i can with a samsung phone
Team Pixel all the way!
U changed the name of the video from sorry pixel
Never like pixel camera , iphn and samsung far better color algorithm
Samsung is simple too oversharpen and over saturated for my taste
Just amazing
Android updates until 2030 though
On both
@@EnricoBrandt Samsung only gets 4 years of updates . Google had 7 years, now 6
@@camronrubin8599Have you read tech news recently? 😅 The Samsung gets same 7 OS updates
All I know is I regret buying the Google Pixel pro 8 😂 I want the s24 ultra
Lol the Pixel looks like a toy.
Samsung is a brick, while pixel is more of a classic smooth android flagship that comfortably lies in hand
Android stock always better when it comes to user experience. The only thing I loved about s24 ultra is it's screensize

Google Pixel 8 Pro for me.............
Don’t mind me, iPhone 15 pro max user here just testing the waters 😂
Samsung Android is still ugly AF. Yes, it's not as bad as it used to be, but still ugly AF. And their update support is also still trash.
Yeah, because 7 years of OS and security patches is terrible..
Clearly hasn't actually used a samsung phone
@@helterskelzer3883 nope. Never had the captivate, s2, s3, note 3, etc. never owned a Samsung at all. Nope
@@parshakamarsh enjoy being stuck on the same version of Android the moment a new Samsung Galaxy S drops.
@@beefgoat80 samsungs from years and years a go🤣 learn some stuff and try again
Samsung has OneUI.
That alone is enough to beat Google's absolute garbage software.
Hardware-wise, they're both oversized featureless garbage.
Featureless hardware wise? Literally has one of the best and brightest screens on top of having an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, LTPO screen, new titanium railing & Victous glass, 8K video capability, 4k slow-mo video capabilites, 100x zoom, 45W charging(Which Google doesn't have), and reverse wireless charging. Also, the S pen literally has remote capablites 😭😭How is Samsung featureless hardware wise?
you forgot to mention the bad modems that pixel has
no 5g weak signal on 4g and WIFI
also the so advertised AI features of the pixel don't work out side of America
also pixels software updates are full of bugs and break the phone
I live in a somewhat rural state. When I get outside of the metro area, then I can tell the difference. Even in the middle of the city, my signal strength is 95-105. Very weak on my 8Pro
Yet, 8 Pro now is 610$
Got the 512GB for $350 off Amazon
