Speed test between the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL and the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra to see how the Android phones compare in terms of performance.

TEST NOTES:
- Screens were calibrated to 200 nits with auto-brightness turned off.
- Speakers calibrated to the same decibel count.
- Tested within an equal distance of a WiFi 6E point.
- Tested in a temperature-controlled environment.
- Standard Deviation (SD) between each set of trials was less than 1 second
- Total Response Time Variance (TRTV) was less than 100 ms

pay flagship price, get flagship killer hardware.

And anyone who says "Average people don't need power!!", then go buy an average midranger. This is a flagship. 1200 v bucks ain't chump change lol

[shankthenoob]

Pixel using older storage that too with 128gb default at 1100$ is non justifiable at all. UFS 3.1 is being used in midrange phones.

[yohanlobo]

How does Google justify that price when they are offering a midrange processor.

[merbudd]

just fyi, the pixel actually only has 13GB of usable RAM. 3GB of its 16 is ALWAYS reserved for the Gemini Nano models that run on-device.

[henryijeoma]

there's no reason why a Pixel should cost as much as the big boys. I don't care how great the softwaare, AI and cameras are. Google is delutional

[ronbntcatco]

This shows once again that when it comes to certain applications, the tensor is simply far too weak, but we are supposed to pay a premium.

[gameplays]

For the people who say Benchmarks dont Show real World Performance....30 Seconds are for the pri ce

[gutzman]

Damn google needs to lower the price on that slow ass phone

[sleepdeprivedpuggy]

Google could've maintained Snapdragon as the primary processor in Pixel phones, adding a Tensor chip for AI-specific tasks, similar to how other manufacturers use dedicated AI chips. This would've balanced performance and power efficiency while enhancing AI capabilities.

[TombRaider]

Software is not everything. You can optimize software with garbage hardware and expect great results. I commented this on many pixel videos and still stand by it. Processor isn’t the main problem here, it’s the storage Google decided to use. Stupidos are still using UFS 3.1 while Samsung is on UFS 4.0 or 4.1 something. This is similar to having a badass graphics card in a pc with top of the line processor but still using a HDD instead of SSD OR M.2. You basically bottleneck your phone. Hopefully next year they come to their senses when they have a fully in house processor they also use latest memory hardware with it.

[EverythingEvo]

Snapdragon > Tensor every day of the week. That's the main reason why I went with the ZFold 6 over the 9 Pro Fold.

[ElecPi]

Anyone notice the Pixel's stopwatch glitch at 3:53?

[gameplays]

Pixel has slow storage and a midrange chip ... Nice combination google...would be fine for 899 for the xl .. but for 1200 bruh...

[fromann]

Question; do y'all enable the RAM Plus feature on the Galaxy when you do the speed test? Have you compared using that feature versus not? I'd be interested to know.

[JoseCalderon]

Samsung gives us the best overall phone in February EVERY SINGLE YEAR

[donnie]

Please, do a battery test between these phones

[SofaKingA]

Pixels phones are like Honda Odyssey drivers, they daily drive like $H%T. 🤣🤣

[thinkdifferent]

Your video quality is just superb. I notice that every single time. Like yours and marques are the two best in whole YouTube.

[gustavosaenz]

If you exclude the video editing and that one heavy game and if you really like Google then don't let this speed test change your decision if you want to buy a Pixel

[GeekyNerdThao]

Always the most reliable speed and battery tests from this channel. Looking forward to your other tests of the Pixel 9 pro xl
