Absolutely not true when we are talking about pixel 8 pro. Great build quality, one of the best displays on the martket, one of the best speakers too. Camera system is on another level. You can only ask for better processor but hey... Its 799 now...
had pixel 7 pro. was great............until had to replace under warranty 3 times for the same issues, this last time they gave me an 8 pixel pro, and freaking lagging issues, etc..
A common misconception. The most useful range in general photography is the 24-105mm range, especially for people shots. The Pixel 8 covers the important 67-112 range by cropping its 50MP 25mm lens. It is thus using a lens with an 84° field of view (fov) to cover the 34° fov of the 67mm. This drops the Pixel's 50mp to under 6mp for resolving images the S24 does with 10mp. This is why in this important 67-112mm range the S24+ outperforms the Pixel 8 decisively. From 113mm, of course, the Pixel 8's x5 zoom kicks in and outperforms the S24+. So, which is better for one is a function of how much shooting one does in the 67-112mm range or the range beyond. For general photography though, that 67-112mm range is more heavily utilized and important than beyond. So in my book, the S24+ wins.
I can't believe that phone is still going? My mom had that phone for years and finally the battery died to nothing and wouldn't charge at all? That phone was one of the better devices by google.
Both of these are the best, but the Pixel seems to have more accurate colors in photos. But Samsung is more willing to give 0% financing to people with bad credit with low monthly payments (under $40/month) than Google is so actually a Galaxys24+ may be more affordable in real life even while being absolutely more expensive because it's relatively more attainable and more affordable in real life conditions in the short terms -- which is reality. Many people would take a long time to save $1,000 to buy a phone in cash, but they could get a brand new Galaxy s24+ shipped to them before saving and get to use it with low monthly payments during all that time they would have otherwise had nothing, and they include cases and tempered glass screen protectors into the total financing. The Google store is not as lienient with financing. And that's a very practical factor that makes the decision in many cases. Korea is all about financing purchases, and that culture works to our benefit here with the Galaxy 24+.
Samsung sells in more countries too with warranty. Google doesn't want to sell anything in my country. And Samsung accepted my A52 A5G with a broken back cover and power button for trade-in 300USD. So yeah, try to match that Google. Google's copying features from OneUI anyway lol.
Pixel aluminum edges scratch and dull way to easy. Camera bump on back catches way to much dirt and scratches too easy. Camera shelf sticks out way to much. Had pixel and between hardware lacking and slower chipset will keep me buying samsung over pixel
S23 is way better only good thing in oixel is accurate colors in photos nothing else S24 is miles ahead in portrait video Performance Stability Customisation colors are saturated in photos but they dont look bad at all .

I had the Pixel 8 pro and unfortunately that tensor G3 is its downfall. There were too many times that sinply pulling down the notification bar caused it to force close, it would just pop right back up and I would have to pull it down again. Almost every time i would check my notifications. The fingerprint reader in the 8 pro is trash. Just point blank. The battery of the pixel was a joke. I had to charge the pixel multiple times a day.

I thugh it was at the end of 2025 not the start so more like a year an half ....not that I care as I only used them the first week and then forgot about the them .
In my opinion, this is a lopsided comparison. The Samsung Galaxy s24 plus is far and away a better device. To that end, let's address the heart of the beast. The Samsung utilizes the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 generation 3 chipset; flagship processor. Conversely, the Google pixel 8 Pro offers the tensor G3 chipset; hi-tier mid-range processor. Apart from that, they match up fairly well feature for feature. Still, while I prefer Google's software it's not enough to overcome the inferior processor. Strictly speaking, I decided to pass on both of these in favor of the OnePlus 12. It offers far better specifications, more value and is a much better device. In addition, it offers an ergonomic curved glass screen that has a far more premium look than a flat screen. Not to mention, neither of the devices in your comparison can compete with the battery power and charging speeds of the oneplus 12. Obviously, other people are entitled to their opinions but, I stand by mine.
I have both of these phones and I really enjoy using both of them. When I got Samsung s24 plus I made it my daily driver and made my Google pixel 8 Pro. My side piece can't go wrong with either one of them though. They're both great phones. Thanks for the video. Keep up the good work. Cam
I was really happy about my pixel but now that you mention it I do realize the fingerprint reader. The UI is really annying too, and don't get me started on the battery. With al setting turned to a max it lasts half a day for me with minor usage. I'd say if you don't compare your pixel to others you'll feel great but as soon as you see a samsung you'll just regret it 🫤. P.S. dont watch reviews of something you already bought 😂
I have to lean more towards the galaxy phone. Just because they don't have modem issues like the Pixel phones seem to always have. And the Galaxy phones seem to be at the same level as a Pixel now with the camera.
@@moe1203 Update: I did get an P6P in from eBay. Only reason I got it is because it was so cheap I couldn't pass it up. I have always like the stripped down version of Android. When I got it and started to use it, I found that it is way better than the Galaxy S23 FE In every way. And the modem issues are not there in my phone. I always have good signals and no dropped calls. Now one problem I do have is the screen will lock up from time to time. But I that is not a real issue for me.
Pixel? Lol samsung outperforms pixel in every comparison period. Only ones who disagree are pixel owners who have already purchased there pixel and can't get out of it!
It's really not. The s24+ has quite a bit better battery and charges much faster with 45w super fast as compared to 30w with pixel. The display is better on the s24+. The Tensor chip should NEVER have been used on the Pixel. Snapdragon here in the US is much faster and more responsive. Not to mention the Pixel starts at 128gb of memory where 24+ starts @ 256gb. I so wanted to get the Pixel for the camera. I just can't justify the rest at the same price. Not to mention the overheating problems that friends of mine complained about.
@@Idrissi_Mas yes.. Overheating. I've talked to several owners of the 8 pro and they all had that issue. The Tensor chip just can't handle the load. I hate it, because I came closer to buying one. I ended up just going with the s24+.
I just bought the Pixel 8 Pro a week ago, even though the Pixel 9 is on the horizon. The look of the Pixel 8 Pro is so unique that I finally had to beak down and get it. The price was right! I love the feel of the phone, the look of the phone and the camera on the phone. I haven't noticed the inferior chipset causing me any difficulty whatsoever. Pixel 8 Pro FTW!
Samsung has managed to make the glass and metal look and feel like cheap plastic with their Galaxy phones. Their last practical, feature rich (jack & sd card) yet aesthetically pleasing phone was S9.

@@willl.3353 indeed, that's unfortunate but understandable to some degree. Canada is a very small marketplace. In fact, more people live in the state of California then in the entire country of canada. Perhaps, one day they will update the devices and technology that they can support.

OnePlus 12 beats it sorry faster wireless charging then pixel or Samsung charges wired....... Camera eh they are all comparable there display OnePlus. Software OnePlus enough extras but close to stock.
I currently have the S24+. I've noticed that the phone will not (for the most part) automatic adjust the screens brightness. I'll have to move the phone to whatever light source is available then the screen will adjust. I never remember having that issue with my old P7 that I had.
Both are very good but I'm going slightly more towards the S24
