I love stock andriod and I wish google made better quality phones like samsung and apple. So my options are: get a pixel phone and love the UI experience and have potential phone issues? Get a samsung phone with great build quality and use the bloated Samsung UI that degrades the user experience, or an Apple phone with great build quality and long term software updates, but a very closed eco system. Ugh, I cant find the perfect phone.
These comments are crazy this is his review and opinion can't get mad because you thought he was gonna pick Samsung 🤣 it's simple make your own review anyway I have a Pixel 6 and love it been having pixel since the pixel 4 and been loving it had no issues with my pixel 6 the fingerprint scanner has definitely improved!!! So much better now
Got my Pixel 6 Pro for $100 so…… I can’t complain. After the updates the Pixel 6 Pro got way better. Finger print sensor isn’t S22 or Oneplus 10 pro fast but it’s finally working great for me. Real world usage is actually similar.
"samsung's design on the s22 looks a lot like the s21 which is kind of dated at this point..." I never heard you complain about the iphone 13 pro basically having the same design of iphone 11 pro that was released 3 years ago lol. And oh the newest iphone reuses the iphone 8 body which has been outdated since long back and it was barely acceptable in 2020, let alone again in 2022. Very biased review. Unsubscribed.
I was also surprised hearing about the S22 design being dated. I mean, its only the 2nd iteration of it, how come is it dated? On the other hand, iPhone switches its camera layout to a diagonal then its instantly "groundbreaking and innovative". I don't see reviewers are coming from when it comes to Android devices, they are lost for sweet words when for it.
That’s so true, to reviewers everything apple does is right, even if they use thesame design for 10 years it will be fine with them, but if an android brand like Samsung just use thesame design from last year which was fine tuned and more premium and here he is saying it’s outdated. I’ll pick s22 to p6 any day
I have Both of these phones. Both are excellent. The S22 is faster than my iPhone 13 Pro in day to day launching of apps etc. the pixel wins the value because of $599. The pixel wins on the camera. The S22 is faster and has more features and if you like smaller phones, the pixel is huge at 6.4. Either way. both are awesome don't listen to the negative nancy's in the comments. most are phone snob kids that have no idea what they are talking about
I've gone through many flagship phones over the years and it is only my opinion, but the Pixel 6 is simply a great phone. Obviously, it comes down to what you're doing, but for me it does everything I need it to quickly and gracefully. Love the speakers and the cameras as well.
That S22 feels so good in the hand but I feel that the battery life is much better on the pixel . And since the pixel is less expensive I'm going with Pixel.
Used to be Samsung but honestly never used a lot of the Samsung apps and really only stuck with Google's ecosystem. Pixel 6 Pro has been a great choice so far. I haven't experienced any major bugs besides the fingerprint reader.
I tried s22 ultra and now pixel 6 is my daily driver. Let's be honest - both snapdragon 8 gen 1 and google tensor run too hot that you get lower fps for gaming than phones 2 years ago.
I just want to say that the pixel 6 pro has curved edge but the regular 6 is a flat screen. I like the flat screen best and love my pixel 6 over my sister's Samsung 22
Extreme battery saver mode on pixel does the same thing. Turns off all apps except for essentials and the ones you tell it to keep on. I've gone an additional 3 hours using it while at 4%
I have to go with the Pixel 6 for the bigger battery, better Camera quality, and smaller price. Although the S22 does have a better display and fingerprint sensor.
I honestly don't understand the bugs people are talking about. I got my pixel 6 pro two weeks ago and haven't had a single issue. It's been solid. It seems the updates fixed most if not all the issues people had 🤷
You're pretty dang lucky, you got the perfect phone then. My pixel 6 had some unacceptable bugs and I got it definitely not as bad as many people's. But they were bad enough to cause me to buy a Samsung Galaxy s22 ultra which has been an excellent phone except I just can't get the pixel 6s Superior Google Assistant and voice typing out of my head it's awesome 👍
Your viewers mostly had a different views than you but should be thinking about the review was your perspective/ opinion... btw... great video. Keep up!
good choice, i have both and i absolutely don't recommend the s22. it's just poorer in almost every aspect, especially in terms of camera, smoothness of the ui and battery life. i have to add that i have the european s22 with the crappy exynos soc, so the us & chinese s22 may perform better.
I always find it interesting what people pick out on the Pixel. The camera colour quality is excellent. AI magic erase on Google photos is awesome, speech typing is nearly always right for my WhatsApp, record and text messaging. Negatives are it's slightly heavy and larger than my last phone so sometimes not good in small pocket pants/trousers, but great for video/film watching. I love so I definitely recommend it. It also just grammar checked me which I didn't even know it did. Haha.
as a owner of both (exynos s22 and regular px6) i have to say that the s22 just stinks! camera performance on the s22 is just poor, the pictures turn out fuzzy and grainy, the dynamic range is not nearly as good as on the px6 and the focus is just way slower and unreliable. and yes i've also tried it with the samsung raw app, with only slightly better and often worse results. performance: what can i say? in terms of gaming i've only tried codm and apex legends on both phones, in codm they both don't perform well and they have many slowdowns, even with details low and fps high. in apex legends the pixel performed pretty decent but the samsung was a huge mess! the framerate was clompletely garbage, the assets didn't load (black objects) and even the sounds came way too late. in terms of fluid ui the pixel6 is almost if not as good as modern iphones, means you never experience a lag and everything runs buttery smooth, basically perfect in my experience. the samsung on the other side has many hiccups, doesn't matter if you load a text-based website minimize an app or browse through insta, doesn't matter if you activate 120hz; it's just always laggy. battery life is pretty decent on my pixel, even after a year, whereas my s22 drains like crazy with its tiny 3700somewhat battery. i can imagine that the snapdragon version runs better, i also know that the photos look better on the snap s22 (checked some comparisons) but i absolutely don't recommend the european s22, the exynos is just garbage and it needs to die! seriously, selling 2 phones with such hugely different socs for the same price is a scam in my opinion.
I think overall user experience is the ultimate deciding factor. I'd personally choose samsung since they have the more stable software although not perfect but reading pixel issues articles... Yeah no thanks.
@@AdnanMohammed-lt8qq pixel 6 was a nightmare. Only good things were software optimization and camera. Bad battery Worst fingerprint sensor Few bugs I returned it. But Pixel 7 and 7pro will definitely have a lot of improvements. Just try to find info on battery performance and fingerprint sensor accuracy on 7 as I have not used them personally.
@@csg-o-a-t4933 Agreed on the shite fingerprint sensor. Frustrating af. A good phone for my needs otherwise, although battery life coming from a Huawei P20 Pro is also crap. Camera is fine, nothing to write home about. Got my 6 used. Thinking of returning it.
You really seem to be biased towards the Pixel. You didn't mention the bugs it came with or the spotty updates. Samsung has a more mature phone than Google... for now.
@@HeyMarkL Having a strong opinion =/= bias. I came here for an knowledgeable opinion and that's what I got, I don't necessarily agree on every single point but that doesn't mean he's biased
Oh yeah? I checked both and: - the fingerprint sensor is still crap on Pixel? - the screen brightness and saturation are much worse on Pixel - camera? You say Pixel is better, I would say Samsung although both decent - Pixel is always running warm even outside games (worries me about durability) The only advantage seems to be speakers... Most people use earbuds. As for the gimmicks on Samsung that nobody will use... Are you kidding me? Ability to hide apps like let's say Tinder from your pesky girlfriend is a relationship saver 🤣
@@HeyMarkL mate you said the Samsung looks dated beside the pixel And you say you aren't biased 😂 Bro even hardcore apple fan boys would call you out for such a horrible take
@@theexpatriate he is biased. How else would you say the s22 looks dated beside the pixel 😂 Like I get if someone doesn't like the design But to say it looks dated compared to pixel is straight bias
The Pixel 6 is the steal of the year, but I think the Pixel 6 Pro is the better buy now that you can get it on Google's store for $799. It was a rough rollout, but the 6-series phones are now incredible. From my experience, the Tensor chip performs really well, and it does a better job of power management than the SD8Gen1. Yes, I wish there was face unlock. The fingerprint scanner is accurate, but could definitely be faster. Aside from those things, my Pixel 6 Pro has been a nearly perfect phone. I'm a huge Samsung fan, but I have been increasingly frustrated with them constantly stripping useful features from phones since the launch of the Galaxy S20. I think the S10 series was peak Samsung. This is my first Pixel, and I've come away super impressed.
im currently switching to the s22+ from the pixel 6 because of these reasons not mentioned in the video: - 2 out of 4 pixel 6 phones I've had experienced a focus shift on the edges and other camera issues. was hard to get google to warranty it out but I was eventually successful. (I had two p6's side by side, getting very different results but google would say "this is normal") - battery life on the p6 is quite rubbish. - the slow fingerprint sensor speed gets annoying along with the lack of face unlock. - side by side to my Pixel 4 XL, the p4xl screen color is better, and the speakers are better. also I think the p4xl screen may be a bit brighter. all in all I'm tired of the bugginess of the hardware and software of the p6 and I'm hoping the s22+ will be more consistent
The pixel had, and still has some bugs. But then again, you are going to get that on every phone. The S22 will also have bugs, just different ones than the pixel. With phones these days it’s all about which bugs bother you more, and which ones you can deal with.
I was just thinking basically the same. Long time pixel fan here, writing this on the 5. that 6 body is such a lump :( so heavy and those bezels >_< would love a modern pixel in a s22-esque shell 👍👍
I've been with pixel for a long time and I really like it the user friendliness of it grabs me, but I really like the compact size of the S22 I've wanted to give Samsung a go around one more time after my last device I vowed I would never go back to Samsung. But I know how good these devices are so I don't want to totally count them out!
Nice review but stop telling us that pixel is iPhone of android, seriously who cares? That's mentality of someone who uses iPhone, cos most of android core user don't want to associate themselves with any boring overhyped iPhone.
That's the problme that bothered me the whole video, like literally what does that even suppose to mean? relating an android device to an ios device doesnt help at all, it doesnt provide any information for anything 😕
They are both good phones, nothing above the norm, and each have pros and cons. Both have issues so IMHO I would get neither, as I also live outside the US where we get far better options so there are many I would buy ahead of these two. I would add that if you game, then neither of these phones are good, amongst the worst current flagships, with poor thermals, heavy throttling and high battery draw. Get these if you are just a casual user and obviously the Pixel 6 has much better battery life.
Just got the pixel 6 cause I broke my OnePlus 7 pros screen, it's fluid and fast af, camera is great, definitely a solid phone, but watching you tube etc, I got to be honest the op7 pro was a bit better for that because slightly bigger screen and no camera notch, But performance wise the pixel 6 is better, Still probably going to order a screen soon and fix the op7 pro though.
Great video. I have a question? When you receive a call on the pixel, do both speakers produce sound or only the bottom one(like previous generations)? I've had pixels in the past and that's annoyed me, can't hear the phone when ringing.
Did some side by side portrait photos with a s22 and my pixel. Both nice but pixel edges it out. Love that super bright display of the 22 tho. My pixel struggles in direct daylight. Not good if you work outdoors in Phoenix like me.
@@ottallman naah.. the edge detection and skin tone colour are better with the s22 than the pixel 6. u only see the pixel potrait is superior is because they apply heavy processing so the photos is oversharpen
Pixel has some nice things going for it but when it comes to complete package noone can compete with samsung and Apple In my opinion. Easy S22 pick for me if money is not issue
What is it about "clean" Android some people seem to like so much ? Back in the day yes i guess it was cool but nowdays Samsung OneUi for example is just so much better imo
Well, part of it is that Samsung used to be SO bad about it, as in 200+ features that weren't useful and 40+ apps you couldn't get rid of. Now, if you want to use Google Calendar and Google Keep, you can actually hide Samsung Notes and Samsung Calendar. Before, you had 2 of almost every app, assuming you used a computer in your day to day life.
I was so close to going with the Pixel but the white balance on the camera is so bad just like the iphone it tends so warm and yellow in all but the best daylight. Got a S22 plus with the trade-in and am mostly happy with it. I tried out the Pixel for 2 weeks and really like the software experience but the ultra slow charging on most chargers, the terrible auto white balance and the missed calls (several confirmed) was too much. There are things I don't love about the S22 but none of them make me want to look at the alternatives.
Ironically, it's pixels exynos chip that fails it. For example when taking a teams meeting, it would constantly drop the call. Pixels software is great, but it's hardware is barely a mid-range phone.
The antenna isn't good. Hopefully by the time the pixel 6a comes out, it goes well. I gotta wait for the pixel 7 once they fix whatever issues they had.
@@elongatedshrew5902 More like the s22+ can't take a decent photo unless the subject is dead still. Good luck trying to take any shots of a moving object such as a child or pet.
If you want a headphone jack, an SD card slot, dedicated shutter button and a similar vanilla android experience go with the Xperia 5 III 👍 - Personally, I like the look of the pixel more than the S22, that matte black band is so much nicer than the ugly silver band on the S22. The camera bar is kinda cool too, I just wish it was 1 solid piece vs having those seams on it. The OneUI, or at least Samsung apps can be a real pain. Years ago Android was becoming notorious for having bloatware pre-installed, similarly to that of old Windows computers. Manufacturers started cutting back and began to offer a more pure experience with less pre-insalled apps.. But Samsung, have gotten worse. The biggest issue is that you can't uninstall most of the pre-installed apps. Samsung has baked them in so deep you need to root it to delete the app. If you want to use an alternative app to that of samsung's offering, like, say, notes, gallery, file explorer, etc... Then you have to install it and tuck away the samsung ones, because it can't be deleted and you end up using more storage space because of it. It's a headache! On top of that, Samsung has partnered with Microsoft, so you also have all of the Microsoft apps to delete and deal with. Some of them are also baked in and you can't get rid of them.. THEN! There's also pre-installed apps and games like FaceBook (WHY!) Samsung tries to give you way more stuff than you need. Instead of making things optional it bombards you with a smorgasbord. Some things are cool, like Dex.. but it needs improvement. Bixby can go jump in a volcano, lmao.
I prefer the s22 Plus because it has a better battery and it has 45 watt charging which the smaller s22 doesn't have and I can't have a phone that has only a 4-hour battery life
My Pixel 6 phone experience has been the worst experience I've had with a phone. Random freezes. Randomly shuts off. Battery life is not great. Overheating. For the pros the camera is great! And I love the stickers that you are able to use as well. And it was definitely an inexpensive phone. I'm hoping to get a much better experience from my new S22+.
@@indagoluv not sure how true it is but I heard a lot of ppl have issues cuz of it. I avoided doing it and so far it has been amazing. Still not very acceptable from Google but that has been my experience..
@@indagoluv I can confirm what the other guy said. If you have time, take backups of chats and what not, and after factory reset, don't transfer data, just, start new, login but don't let it restore data. Your experience should become much smoother.
It's because you don't have money to afford samsung devices. Search for a job and try to save money to buy flagship phones and not a midrange budget phone like you mention
I've had to disable so many Google apps, that I'm sure Samsung had no choice but to put on the phone because that's what android comes with, you can't even delete them, just disable, smh, yet everyone complains about extra apps, when it's like no choice, Samsung's phones come with their apps, they are just also forced to put google's, something Google and apple doesn't have to do because they make the OS's.
My God!! This is the most sensible comment I have seen in my decades of using RUclips. Jeez! It's a Samsung phone, you should expect Samsung apps. Google are the ones that should make Google apps optional that way there are no duplicates.
Google own Android and they give it to OEMs for a nominal amount whilst spending billions on developing it. All they ask is that OEMs include Google apps. I think that is very fair and that your comment is naive and biased. If Samsung does not want Google apps they should use their own mobileOS like Tyzen, but that was a disaster so that is never gonna happen.
@@andyH_England don't be ignorant. Google makes about 12 billion a year from Android and they do not spend billions on developing it in any way, shape or form. Guess who has made Android the most money? Samsung Mr Naive! They actually pay Samsung to use Google search. They can preinstall essential apps like playstore and maps. The rest should be optional.
@@thesocialintrovert did u just say essential apps? To me all Google apps are essential, because Playstore & Maps are essential to u shouldn’t give u right to say such to other users like u who invested same money and time. U have the option to disable it.
@@willy7968 I'm here coming to terms with the fact that someone doesn't know the meaning of optional. Hey here's a thought, don't buy a Samsung. There's this fairly new brand called Pixel, might be more your thing. Love and Light. ✌️
Well, it's not like iphones in the bad way where you are locked down into their garden, more like it's a stock, optimized experience. You'll be happy with either, but Pixel has always been better in my eyes
@@danieldanieldadada neither operating system is "superior" over another, but Android fits our values more. Some people don't mind the ecosystem, or any of other apples criticisms, and they just hate how they can't use iMessage on Android. If you prefer Android, I don't know why you'd say apple is superior honestly
Coming from a Samsung S21, and now having a Pixel 6, there are a couple of Samsung features I used a lot and miss, such as Samsung pay. It's just smoother and better, sorry Google. The fact that it doesn't use NFC and all you need to do is open the app is a big plus for me. I don't want to leave NFC always on or having to turn it back off every time I use my phone to pay. I may as well just use my regular card now. Secondly, the double-tapping the power button for the torch to come on even with a locked screen. It really came in handy for me as I get up way earlier than my girlfriend and can't put any lights on. It's, yet again, just convenient. Thirdly; how bug free Samsung was. Not that the Pixel is a buggy mess, but... Also the navigation swipes on Samsung just felt better. Also, the screen was just brighter on the Samsung. Sunlight visibility was top-notch and it got even better with the S22 series. And still, I am happier with the Pixel. The camera is, well... A Pixel camera, which takes EXACTLY any photos as I want them to look, the phone just feels more focused and less reliant on gimmicks or anything of the sort, and most of all, how Samsung, for whatever reason, keeps peddling Europe their own chip. (Unless you import a Snapdragon variant phone, which most won't) Listen, we don't want it. It doesn't even, at the very least, offer better battery life compared to the Snapdragon variant and photos taken by a Snapdragon variant look better in many cases.
So If you switched can you tell me if you can disable Bixby and replace it with Google Assistant entirely?... Thinking about buying a Pixel or a Samsung, but Bixby would be a Dealbreaker For me
I think some of the default apps from Samsung are way better than Pixel's, such as calculator, clock, even screen capture and record. They are just more feature-rich in a useful way. For example, Samsung's timer will minimize to a small floating bar if you press Home after starting the timer; calculator has built-in unit convertor which is very handy, in which you will have to download a separate app for that on Pixel. In many ways, several UI features/default apps from Samsung are very thoughtful (althoguh some are over the top). In contrast, those counterparts from Pixel are a bit too basic. But I understand many people prefer its simplicity. And for photos, I always think Samsung has always made their photos very vibrant but sometimes too vibrant. I wish there is a way to dial down the default saturation of the photos without going for RAW.
I went from S20 to pixel 6. I agree with you. I really miss double-tap and a lot of configuration options. Today I think that the One UI is the best Android option. On the other hand, pixel camera is way better and at least for me, the fingerprint sensor too. The fingerprint unlock on S20 was really bad.
im sorry but your review just sounds biased and generic, lacks information at best..s22 has a better display, has a more versatile camera experience, oneui has literally become the default skin that even google itself copies it, ask mkb...secure folder is such a useful feature, so is dex, so is samsung’s partnership with windows...fingerprint is way better better, portrait mode is better, display brightness is better....I could be soundin like im sitting with samsung but im literally just statin facts...I mean do better than that man🤦🏽♂️
Reading a lot of comments and forums, it's like you get 50/50 chance of getting a good pixel 6. WIll probably wait for the pixel 7. Right now my oneplus 6 is still going strong.
i just bought a pixel 6 (literally on Sunday) and it's incredible. i think the 50/50 is because of people's experience with the updates in December but now they're all fixed
@Benjamin Jagun I do like stock android. But my experience with google hasn’t been great. I had battery heating issues with my pixel 3a and my pixel 4 xl died on me one day for no reason. I’ve owned a lot of phones over the years and while they’ve slowed down over time, I’ve never had a phone just fall apart on me like the pixels have. Left a bad taste in my mouth And judging from the issues with the pixel 6 line, google hasn’t gotten any better. So I’ll stay away from pixel phone ms for the foreseeable future
Google stock android is pretty and gets updates first, but it's buggy. From my experience Samsung has better engineers when it comes to software, or at least they care more. Google will have bugs and not update for months... or ever. Also just compare some of Samsung's apps vs Google's... calendar, photos, etc... Samsung has a better design and more features. Google can be really slow in updating their apps to achieve parity with other offerings (Apple, Samsung, 3rd party). Let's put it this way, with Samsung you get 99.999% of everything a pixel has to offer, but with Pixel your get about 80% of what Samsung has to offer. You don't need a Pixel to experience all of Google's offerings, you can even have an iPhone and use essentially all the same apps pixel uses.
This is what I think too. Samsung has the best software, especially with the s pen. I think im still about to get a pixel 6 cuz of price. In the past stock android was better and smoother than samsungs software. But samsungs software is so customizable and offers more than any phone on the planet. Are those extra tiny customizable features worth the price of admission? Thats subjective. For the price a lot of people might prefer pixel if theyre not into all that customization stuff
PIXEL 6 IS GOING STRAIGHT BACK: I got a 6 in the post yesterday. I was so excited after seeing so many positive reviews online recently... But... After spending a few hours with it, it's going straight back to Santa. Reason: The white colour balance for the phone's display is just shockingly awful. It's a dirty, yellow/green hue, across all apps, media, and menus/OS. All of my recent photos of lovely brilliant winter scenes taken on my Huawei p30 lite, look gross on the Pixel 6. Yes, I've tried every possible combination of display and wallpaper settings, watched hours of videos for a fix - This off white issue was frequently mentioned on Reddit, across all 6's and 7's - So, unless the North Pole really is covered with yellow snow, I hope Santa's elves will honour their return policy.

The most beautiful Samsung s22 that came out for them looks luxurious, and also in a size that can still be walked with, unlike a pocket TV.🔥💥
Awesome video brother..... definitely I am missing Pixel 6 in India and I am a Pixel 5 user..... looking for your S22 ultra review....
Thanks! That’s definitely still in the works.
Used to be Samsung but honestly never used a lot of the Samsung apps and really only stuck with Google's ecosystem. Pixel 6 Pro has been a great choice so far. I haven't experienced any major bugs besides the fingerprint reader.
I love my Pixel 6 but that fingerprint reader is almost the worst thing ever! I miss the facial recognition of the Pixel 4XL!
Thanks for this as requested 👌👊
Gotchu fam 👌🏼
I tried s22 ultra and now pixel 6 is my daily driver. Let's be honest - both snapdragon 8 gen 1 and google tensor run too hot that you get lower fps for gaming than phones 2 years ago.
I just want to say that the pixel 6 pro has curved edge but the regular 6 is a flat screen. I like the flat screen best and love my pixel 6 over my sister's Samsung 22
Extreme battery saver mode on pixel does the same thing. Turns off all apps except for essentials and the ones you tell it to keep on. I've gone an additional 3 hours using it while at 4%
I have to go with the Pixel 6 for the bigger battery, better Camera quality, and smaller price. Although the S22 does have a better display and fingerprint sensor.
Beware of swollen batteries after a couple years.
Great content as always, Mark. Hope to see more of this comparison vids from you. Excellent job 👍🏻
More to come in the future for sure!
I have Google pixel 6 and i like so much
I honestly don't understand the bugs people are talking about. I got my pixel 6 pro two weeks ago and haven't had a single issue. It's been solid. It seems the updates fixed most if not all the issues people had 🤷
You're pretty dang lucky, you got the perfect phone then. My pixel 6 had some unacceptable bugs and I got it definitely not as bad as many people's. But they were bad enough to cause me to buy a Samsung Galaxy s22 ultra which has been an excellent phone except I just can't get the pixel 6s Superior Google Assistant and voice typing out of my head it's awesome 👍
@@a-terrible-fate532 just bought the pixel 6 and it's been amazing! no clue what bugs you might have lol
Bugs have pretty much been squashed with recent updates 👍

Thanks 👍 I actually did a review on both phones individually and I'm guessing they didn't watch that first lol but thank you for tuning in!
I was struggling to choose between the two for my next smartphone, I think the Google Pixel 6 will work for me!
Pixel 6 is solid! The 7 just got announced 👀😅
same here 👍
good choice, i have both and i absolutely don't recommend the s22.
it's just poorer in almost every aspect, especially in terms of camera, smoothness of the ui and battery life.
i have to add that i have the european s22 with the crappy exynos soc, so the us & chinese s22 may perform better.
@@RUclips-Censorship-Police I've noticed that about the pixel 6, So fast and fluid, dare I say almost iOS like 🤣.
I always find it interesting what people pick out on the Pixel. The camera colour quality is excellent. AI magic erase on Google photos is awesome, speech typing is nearly always right for my WhatsApp, record and text messaging. Negatives are it's slightly heavy and larger than my last phone so sometimes not good in small pocket pants/trousers, but great for video/film watching. I love so I definitely recommend it. It also just grammar checked me which I didn't even know it did. Haha.

Great vid. Where can I get the wallpapers you are using on Pixel 6?
as a owner of both (exynos s22 and regular px6) i have to say that the s22 just stinks!
camera performance on the s22 is just poor, the pictures turn out fuzzy and grainy, the dynamic range is not nearly as good as on the px6 and the focus is just way slower and unreliable.
and yes i've also tried it with the samsung raw app, with only slightly better and often worse results.
performance: what can i say? in terms of gaming i've only tried codm and apex legends on both phones, in codm they both don't perform well and they have many slowdowns, even with details low and fps high.
in apex legends the pixel performed pretty decent but the samsung was a huge mess! the framerate was clompletely garbage, the assets didn't load (black objects) and even the sounds came way too late.
in terms of fluid ui the pixel6 is almost if not as good as modern iphones, means you never experience a lag and everything runs buttery smooth, basically perfect in my experience.
the samsung on the other side has many hiccups, doesn't matter if you load a text-based website minimize an app or browse through insta, doesn't matter if you activate 120hz; it's just always laggy.
battery life is pretty decent on my pixel, even after a year, whereas my s22 drains like crazy with its tiny 3700somewhat battery.
i can imagine that the snapdragon version runs better, i also know that the photos look better on the snap s22 (checked some comparisons) but i absolutely don't recommend the european s22, the exynos is just garbage and it needs to die!
seriously, selling 2 phones with such hugely different socs for the same price is a scam in my opinion.
Pixel is the best deal imo. My brother's S22 is slow and full of bloatware.

Where was the "after the updates" part?
I think overall user experience is the ultimate deciding factor. I'd personally choose samsung since they have the more stable software although not perfect but reading pixel issues articles... Yeah no thanks.

- the fingerprint sensor is still crap on Pixel?
- the screen brightness and saturation are much worse on Pixel
- camera? You say Pixel is better, I would say Samsung although both decent
- Pixel is always running warm even outside games (worries me about durability)

Thanks for tuning in Josh! See ya Monday when the new video drops 🙌🏼
The Pixel 6 is the steal of the year, but I think the Pixel 6 Pro is the better buy now that you can get it on Google's store for $799. It was a rough rollout, but the 6-series phones are now incredible. From my experience, the Tensor chip performs really well, and it does a better job of power management than the SD8Gen1. Yes, I wish there was face unlock. The fingerprint scanner is accurate, but could definitely be faster. Aside from those things, my Pixel 6 Pro has been a nearly perfect phone.
I'm a huge Samsung fan, but I have been increasingly frustrated with them constantly stripping useful features from phones since the launch of the Galaxy S20. I think the S10 series was peak Samsung. This is my first Pixel, and I've come away super impressed.
I will still choose pixel
im currently switching to the s22+ from the pixel 6 because of these reasons not mentioned in the video:
- 2 out of 4 pixel 6 phones I've had experienced a focus shift on the edges and other camera issues. was hard to get google to warranty it out but I was eventually successful. (I had two p6's side by side, getting very different results but google would say "this is normal")
- battery life on the p6 is quite rubbish.
- the slow fingerprint sensor speed gets annoying along with the lack of face unlock.
- side by side to my Pixel 4 XL, the p4xl screen color is better, and the speakers are better. also I think the p4xl screen may be a bit brighter.
all in all I'm tired of the bugginess of the hardware and software of the p6 and I'm hoping the s22+ will be more consistent
man it sucks pixel users having so much issues, maybe its time for google to not handle the hardware side for there phones anymore
These issues have been eradicated for the most part through software updates. Go for the pro and see if you experience the same issues.
The pixel had, and still has some bugs. But then again, you are going to get that on every phone. The S22 will also have bugs, just different ones than the pixel. With phones these days it’s all about which bugs bother you more, and which ones you can deal with.
Pixel 6 with a s22 body and size and tensor 2 with longer lasting battery/better performance would be my perfect phone. 👌
I was just thinking basically the same. Long time pixel fan here, writing this on the 5. that 6 body is such a lump :( so heavy and those bezels >_< would love a modern pixel in a s22-esque shell 👍👍
Pixel phones are not only bright, but very dim and that's why I don't buy them
I really like the way how he explained and compared these 2 phones very nicely 👍
I've been with pixel for a long time and I really like it the user friendliness of it grabs me, but I really like the compact size of the S22 I've wanted to give Samsung a go around one more time after my last device I vowed I would never go back to Samsung. But I know how good these devices are so I don't want to totally count them out!
Read the reviews...I see a lot of people complaining about the battery life of the S22.
Be interesting to also have a comparison of the S22 Exynos with the S22 Qualcomm and Pixel 6.
As a current Pixel 4A User, been wanting to upgrade to the Pixel 6 but than I hear the 7 will be out soon? What do you suggest?
7 should be out Q4, but the 6A is coming soon. Stay tuned to the channel for my review!
Nice review but stop telling us that pixel is iPhone of android, seriously who cares? That's mentality of someone who uses iPhone, cos most of android core user don't want to associate themselves with any boring overhyped iPhone.
That's the problme that bothered me the whole video, like literally what does that even suppose to mean? relating an android device to an ios device doesnt help at all, it doesnt provide any information for anything 😕
so you have no idea that samsung will provide Android update till Android 16 meanwhile pixel 6 will get updates till 15 only! lol
They are both good phones, nothing above the norm, and each have pros and cons. Both have issues so IMHO I would get neither, as I also live outside the US where we get far better options so there are many I would buy ahead of these two.
I would add that if you game, then neither of these phones are good, amongst the worst current flagships, with poor thermals, heavy throttling and high battery draw. Get these if you are just a casual user and obviously the Pixel 6 has much better battery life.
Can you give me some examples of "better phones" I ain't from the US either, and I'm looking for a good phone
Just got the pixel 6 cause I broke my OnePlus 7 pros screen, it's fluid and fast af, camera is great, definitely a solid phone, but watching you tube etc, I got to be honest the op7 pro was a bit better for that because slightly bigger screen and no camera notch, But performance wise the pixel 6 is better, Still probably going to order a screen soon and fix the op7 pro though.
The op7 was the best phone ever I have the one plus 7 pro McLaren and it's still a beast tool this day. 👍🏾
Great video. I have a question? When you receive a call on the pixel, do both speakers produce sound or only the bottom one(like previous generations)? I've had pixels in the past and that's annoyed me, can't hear the phone when ringing.
Did some side by side portrait photos with a s22 and my pixel. Both nice but pixel edges it out. Love that super bright display of the 22 tho. My pixel struggles in direct daylight. Not good if you work outdoors in Phoenix like me.

Well, part of it is that Samsung used to be SO bad about it, as in 200+ features that weren't useful and 40+ apps you couldn't get rid of. Now, if you want to use Google Calendar and Google Keep, you can actually hide Samsung Notes and Samsung Calendar. Before, you had 2 of almost every app, assuming you used a computer in your day to day life.
Smoothness
Always Team Pixel
I would chose the pixel bc of the price and that I can get android 13 on it the 1st day it is availible.
Pixel for the battery life and samsung for everything else
I was so close to going with the Pixel but the white balance on the camera is so bad just like the iphone it tends so warm and yellow in all but the best daylight. Got a S22 plus with the trade-in and am mostly happy with it. I tried out the Pixel for 2 weeks and really like the software experience but the ultra slow charging on most chargers, the terrible auto white balance and the missed calls (several confirmed) was too much. There are things I don't love about the S22 but none of them make me want to look at the alternatives.
Still a good pick up! The S22 series really are really nice phones
Ironically, it's pixels exynos chip that fails it. For example when taking a teams meeting, it would constantly drop the call. Pixels software is great, but it's hardware is barely a mid-range phone.
The antenna isn't good. Hopefully by the time the pixel 6a comes out, it goes well. I gotta wait for the pixel 7 once they fix whatever issues they had.

If you want a headphone jack, an SD card slot, dedicated shutter button and a similar vanilla android experience go with the Xperia 5 III 👍 - Personally, I like the look of the pixel more than the S22, that matte black band is so much nicer than the ugly silver band on the S22. The camera bar is kinda cool too, I just wish it was 1 solid piece vs having those seams on it.
The OneUI, or at least Samsung apps can be a real pain. Years ago Android was becoming notorious for having bloatware pre-installed, similarly to that of old Windows computers. Manufacturers started cutting back and began to offer a more pure experience with less pre-insalled apps.. But Samsung, have gotten worse. The biggest issue is that you can't uninstall most of the pre-installed apps. Samsung has baked them in so deep you need to root it to delete the app.
If you want to use an alternative app to that of samsung's offering, like, say, notes, gallery, file explorer, etc... Then you have to install it and tuck away the samsung ones, because it can't be deleted and you end up using more storage space because of it. It's a headache! On top of that, Samsung has partnered with Microsoft, so you also have all of the Microsoft apps to delete and deal with. Some of them are also baked in and you can't get rid of them.. THEN! There's also pre-installed apps and games like FaceBook (WHY!)
Samsung tries to give you way more stuff than you need. Instead of making things optional it bombards you with a smorgasbord. Some things are cool, like Dex.. but it needs improvement. Bixby can go jump in a volcano, lmao.
Too bad Sony is competing with Google on who can release their phones in fewer countries.
I prefer the s22 Plus because it has a better battery and it has 45 watt charging which the smaller s22 doesn't have and I can't have a phone that has only a 4-hour battery life

Buggy phone.. really?,

yes. mine has been terrible. switching to s22+ because of this.
not mine, also not now, its alot better now
Mine has been perfect since December. I highly recommend this phone
Coming from a Samsung S21, and now having a Pixel 6, there are a couple of Samsung features I used a lot and miss, such as Samsung pay. It's just smoother and better, sorry Google. The fact that it doesn't use NFC and all you need to do is open the app is a big plus for me. I don't want to leave NFC always on or having to turn it back off every time I use my phone to pay. I may as well just use my regular card now.
Secondly, the double-tapping the power button for the torch to come on even with a locked screen. It really came in handy for me as I get up way earlier than my girlfriend and can't put any lights on. It's, yet again, just convenient.
Thirdly; how bug free Samsung was. Not that the Pixel is a buggy mess, but...
Also the navigation swipes on Samsung just felt better.
Also, the screen was just brighter on the Samsung. Sunlight visibility was top-notch and it got even better with the S22 series.
And still, I am happier with the Pixel. The camera is, well... A Pixel camera, which takes EXACTLY any photos as I want them to look, the phone just feels more focused and less reliant on gimmicks or anything of the sort, and most of all, how Samsung, for whatever reason, keeps peddling Europe their own chip. (Unless you import a Snapdragon variant phone, which most won't) Listen, we don't want it. It doesn't even, at the very least, offer better battery life compared to the Snapdragon variant and photos taken by a Snapdragon variant look better in many cases.
So If you switched can you tell me if you can disable Bixby and replace it with Google Assistant entirely?...
Thinking about buying a Pixel or a Samsung, but Bixby would be a Dealbreaker For me
I think some of the default apps from Samsung are way better than Pixel's, such as calculator, clock, even screen capture and record. They are just more feature-rich in a useful way. For example, Samsung's timer will minimize to a small floating bar if you press Home after starting the timer; calculator has built-in unit convertor which is very handy, in which you will have to download a separate app for that on Pixel. In many ways, several UI features/default apps from Samsung are very thoughtful (althoguh some are over the top). In contrast, those counterparts from Pixel are a bit too basic. But I understand many people prefer its simplicity.
And for photos, I always think Samsung has always made their photos very vibrant but sometimes too vibrant. I wish there is a way to dial down the default saturation of the photos without going for RAW.
@@FireWolf943 you can disable and use Google assistant
I went from S20 to pixel 6. I agree with you. I really miss double-tap and a lot of configuration options. Today I think that the One UI is the best Android option.

Google stock android is pretty and gets updates first, but it's buggy. From my experience Samsung has better engineers when it comes to software, or at least they care more. Google will have bugs and not update for months... or ever. Also just compare some of Samsung's apps vs Google's... calendar, photos, etc... Samsung has a better design and more features. Google can be really slow in updating their apps to achieve parity with other offerings (Apple, Samsung, 3rd party). Let's put it this way, with Samsung you get 99.999% of everything a pixel has to offer, but with Pixel your get about 80% of what Samsung has to offer. You don't need a Pixel to experience all of Google's offerings, you can even have an iPhone and use essentially all the same apps pixel uses.
how is google slow in updating when pixels get software updates before any other android phone
This is what I think too. Samsung has the best software, especially with the s pen. I think im still about to get a pixel 6 cuz of price. In the past stock android was better and smoother than samsungs software. But samsungs software is so customizable and offers more than any phone on the planet. Are those extra tiny customizable features worth the price of admission? Thats subjective. For the price a lot of people might prefer pixel if theyre not into all that customization stuff
@@DavidLopez-rk6em Samsung also has allot of apps you don't need.
What about the software issues on the pixel 6 , did they got better after the april update ?
I actually covered that in my Pixel 6 update video (two videos ago) feel free to watch :)
Awesome review though
pixel 6 has the quietest speakers of all time. How are these speakers good u have to turn them to 90 percent to even hear anything.
they are not quiet, they just turn up 90% in the last 10% of the audio bar😅 that's still annoying but it can (and hopefully will) be fixed in a patch.
PIXEL 6 IS GOING STRAIGHT BACK:
I got a 6 in the post yesterday. I was so excited after seeing so many positive reviews online recently... But... After spending a few hours with it, it's going straight back to Santa.
Reason: The white colour balance for the phone's display is just shockingly awful. It's a dirty, yellow/green hue, across all apps, media, and menus/OS. All of my recent photos of lovely brilliant winter scenes taken on my Huawei p30 lite, look gross on the Pixel 6. Yes, I've tried every possible combination of display and wallpaper settings, watched hours of videos for a fix - This off white issue was frequently mentioned on Reddit, across all 6's and 7's - So, unless the North Pole really is covered with yellow snow, I hope Santa's elves will honour their return policy.
