Pixel 9 vs Galaxy S24

The Pixel 9 is the "smallest flagship" in the entire new Pixel 9 lineup. It costs about the same as the Galaxy S24, which is the smallest among its own siblings. So, how do these two "affordable premium phones" stack up against each other?

What the hell is wrong with the audio. It's all over the place

Its simple, if you can access the s24 snapdragon go for it. If u cant, maybe pixel is a better option. Tests say the battery lasts longer

[Waingro]

Pixel 9 is big and heavy, so S24 if you like compact phones

[CristianForonda-whvq]

Both phones look good and work great hard to choose, i got the s24

What is the intro song? Please tell me I feel like I've heard it before and it's driving me crazy, it's definitely from a game

[RayRayIsCoolio]

you'd think with a slower processor the batter on the new Pixel would be crazy better

[jgn]

Id actually prefer camera modules to be more INTEGRATED.
LESS INTRUSIVE.

This made the decision easy, thank you.

I bought the pixel 7 and regret it.

Reason 1. The fkn fingerprint sensor. It just don't work properly, every $50 china phone does this better.
Reason 2. slow charging and additional stupid "features" like adaptive charging, what leaves you with an empty phone in the morning
Reason 3. Heating up when charging and looking Youtube, then shut down.

I know they have now a new fingerprint sensor with ultrasonic in the p9 but as always with google, they manage to close one hole, while rip several others open, and you have to deal with it.
Last but not least. Google alphabet also continue their strategy with the pixel. First Phone crap, Second Phone pure Development and beta testing and third phone finally properly finished.
The Pixel nine is a "test phone" before the real thing Pixel 10 or Pixel X will come into market. This will be the first real pixel.

Is it Me, or My eye's?
I can't see much difference between the two cameras/ photos.

I have a Samsung Note 22 ultra, yes, it works perfectly, but so much extra bloatware, kinda frustrating

[joelxala]

The hardware is way better on the galaxy...but I like how he didn't go over the immersive customization and AI power the pixel has 😅

[jgn]

But.
Why are Google charging for Gemini?
It's pure greed, or criminal!

[xXllIIIIllXx]

I can't stand Samsung UI, Pixel all the way for me

[IceChris_]

So now reviewers can't do reviews of android phones without mentioning IPhone .😂
Nice review

[towerguarder]

Pixel is a midrange phone. No doubt about it. Way too exp

[EverythingFJ]

I'm going with the s24 aside don't care to much for Ai and the s24has better processing power

[Dahmy]

I have pixel, it's a good cell phone

[Kyleharris]

Honestly the s24+ pissed me off so much i went to the pixel 9 the s24+ was CONSTANTLY trying to read my fingerprint while in my pocket and constantly locked my phone due to it and i couldnt tell if i was getting a text or if my phone was just being stupid and thinking my leg was a fingerprint

Most obviously biased review I've seen yet.
