As always, a super factual comparison! You're so much better than the other well-known YT content creators, who mostly just shout down data sheets.

It strikes me that the Tensor G4 on the Pixel 9 Pro XL is being clever and throttling early during lighter tasks to boost thermal performance and battery life. For more Cpu and Gpu intensive tasks like gaming, the S24U shows it's extra muscle but the Pixel performs not as badly as I thought it might. Cutting through everything else, I just want to say that if you own either of these two devices you should feel happy with yourself. You have made a brilliant choice.

Why Samsung dominates the android market ? Simple, availability. Samsung basically has options for everyone in almost every region in the world while Google does not. The second thing is that samsung ecosystem has gotten better over the years while Google is still doing baby steps with the tablet & smartphone productivity market even though Google had been making tablets through other brands (as well as their own) as early as 2012 with the Nexus project but the tablet never evolved from entertainment only tablet into productivity tablet like Samsung's, evident from the recent pixel tablet which was designed mostly to be docked as a controller for the Alexa home system and pretty much unknown to the rest of the world outside Europe & US. Unless Google starts to up their game in availability & ecosystem, Google will never dominate the android market.

2:41 It looks like auto brightness was off. Hence why samsung was dimmer. (maybe its the temps im not sure) But i gotta give it to pixel for the fact that when cranking the brightness manually, pixel gets waay brighter than any other smartphone on the market today which is lovely.

Masha'Allah, glad to see the Pixel overall upgraded itself with the competitors

There are 100's of Tech YouTubers in my subscription list and probably you are the one that really has stood out for me in the recent past as your comparison is little more scientific than the other youtubers as each one is trying to just copy the other. Really appreciate your work and looking forward for more content from you. Subscribed!

Shutter lag and other camera problems (that have been present on every Samsung phones for years now) make it pretty much unusable when it comes to camera department. Yeah, all that hardware power is nice, lenses, megapixels, zoom, but blurry unusable pictures of anything with even slight movement (kids, pets, people...) should not be acceptable in 2024., let alone in this price range. All of the competition solved it (so it can't be that hard, right?) and Samsung not doing anything about it is pure desrespect to customers. Another example could be weak and soft vibration since S22 series. Users complained and what did they do about it, change vibration motor on S23 ? No, they added software feature to play vibration sound through speaker (completely unusable when device is in your pocket).
If it wasn't for old glory, it would be pretty hard to sell half baked "we'll fix it with updates" devices like this. And Pixel is easy choice. At least that's how I see it (I've been using Samsung flagships for 7 years straight).

They're both great phones. My preference was the Pixel, which I bought last week.

[stevanb.]

As shutter lag continues to plague Samsung flagships (I've used them for 7 years straight and each and every one had it, with many other camera issues, of course), it's not even in the same league with Pixel. Take a shot of moving subject with Samsung - you'll end up with blurry unusable mess, not even decent picture. Do that same with Pixel - 9 out of 10 times picture will be great. Great design, superb cameras, clean bloatware free Android experience, frequent updates - not many people care about benchmarks and processor details.

7:32 The Google Pixel phone will not be able to see the color properly because the Sun is focused on the pixel phone. If you change the phone holder location, the result will be different

I dont why samsung decided to brighten dark areas. Even the s24 u display tends to brighten dark areas of the display. Results greyish looking output.

Hi,
Thanks for the video.
What's il the app to get the temperature??

[flueepwrien]

The best scientific reviews on the market rn.

[thechrissmartin]

Don't use cases when comparing devices. Heat dissipation will vary

[vibhavcar]

can you share app or link to app which you use for measuring the device power consumption

[ahmedaboushouk]

I just knew about your channel and videos recently and they are just amaazing and professionalism to the max ❤ as i am a telecommunications engineer and i can tell how a professional reveiw will really be 😊
After some of your videos regarding exynos vs SD 8 Gen 3 for Samsung, i was settled for the S24+ plus (imported w/o warranty) as i am in UAE and couple of months back got the Exynos version and returned it back after 4 days as its thermals was frying my hand & pocket but i loved the phone for the display and slim ness (though wished its width reduced by 2mm)
Now i am thinking to hold my horses a bit and wait to see what Samsung will do for S25 series
Also was considering Xperia 1 vi imported but way overpriced plus some cons in your video that i didn't like for the price though the design, battery life and other aspects are from the golden era world

[allanzong]

Nice video, really like the depth you go through. Just a quick question, what performance profile was the S24U set to?

[theblitz]

I really liked the color comparison with a dedicated camera. The only time i use pro mode on samsung whether be it for video or photo is because the white balance is off. And pixel seems to handle that better. Can we get more color/quality comparisons with a dedicated camera?

[bulolo_wilber]

The focus hunting on the pixel is a general issue, most reviewers keep pointing it out. Hopefully, Google'll fix it soon
