Pixel 8 pro is a steal these days, the trade in at google is crazy good.

@robertwilsoniii2048 Ай бұрын

The 8 Pro is the first Pixel built to Apple and Samsung hardware standards too. Every prior Pixel is below them in hardware engineering quality.

The zoom test really destroyed Samsung‘s tiny 10MP sensor.

@okeyezeilo6187 Ай бұрын

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.

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+.

@bassyey 25 күн бұрын

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.

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 😂

@dr.fitprofessor4363 2 ай бұрын

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.

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.
