Just can't ignore how beautiful the S22 ultra looks. Hopefully Samsung will keep the styling for S23 ultra series as well!

I loved how you actually didn't make a big deal out of camera because for normal everyday users, most of these super advance features are just a cherry on the cake that they aren't going to use. Thank you for making a clear cut decision without taking all miniscule details and complicating it.

Long time Samsung user. Excellent phones. I did just pick up a 6a for a dedicated work line. There are some very cool Pixel features I like. The thing I think many are missing here is pricing. The Pixel 7 series and 6a are exceptional values. And carriers are really starting to ramp up deals for Pixels. The 6a was free with my new line. And I just received a promotion from T-Mobile for a free upgrade to the Pixel 7 on trade in (less sales tax). I am likely going to do this for my personal line.

As a RU-vidr who currently uses their phone as a primary camera, and also as a power-user who can't get enough customization features, this makes the choice pretty clear. Exactly the video I was looking for, thanks!

I am always amazed that every review of phones I see never talks about what it is like to use each phone as a phone. In other words, to use the phone to talk to people on the phone. The Pixel's main advantage for people who still use their phones as phones is that it has native call screening built in to the software. If you are tired of scam calls, get the Pixel. Another nice software feature on the Pixel is that it will hold the call for you if you get put on hold and then alert you when a live human is back on the phone with you. It will even transcribe the menu options so you don't have to listen and pay attention to what the automated system is telling you while you are on hold.

Saki Awesome Video. I definitely got my geek fix watching the reviews on the both devices but I also just realized that both have no Sd card.Still both amazing devices and you are right hard decision. Thanks so much for sharing Deb ✌️

Saki why is it that I an only get an honest review from you🤣🤣🤣. You tell us why there is a price difference and ultimately it's the consumer who has to decide what's important and is 300 dollars extra or less (depending on what you choose) matter. Well done and stay this way....DO NOT CHANGE.!

I've owned Samsung and many iphones previously, and have had the Pixel 7 Pro for a month and so far, it's my favorite phone ever! Great review!

Thank you for such a practical review, I got the pixel 7 pro, loved the phone, but it was warming up too often and battery was not as good for me atleast

They got good deals on the s22 series right now. With the new version around the corner the deals are almost as good as when they released. I was forced to sell mine early on and I have been wanting to get them back.

Pictures quality and camera features are the top of my list on picking my next phone!

Great video comparison..you helped me with the selection of my next cell phone...s22 ulta here i come!!

The unmovable Google search bar at the bottom of the display really irks me!

Not sure what to do for the best! Got a Pixel 4A just now and WAS prepared to go for the Pixel 7 Pro next upgrade (April 2023) but a colleague at work swears by their S22 Ultra. The photos are amazing! I love taking photos on holiday and zoom in loads when attending rugby and ice hockey! I LOVE the pixel experience and didn't like the Samsung bloatware back when I had the Note in 2013 but I think the S22 cameras edge it for me? My wife recently upgraded from Pixel 4A to the flip 4 and loves it.

I just got the P7P and I love the combination of both of these phones. Battery life is still uo for review for the P7P as I just got it but the S22U works brilliant samsung still holds the edge because of the S-Pen.

Actually one of the best comparative I wish when one UI 5 android 13 publish you do make a full difference between one UI 5 vs stock 13

Features + Benefits. Excellent review. Very helpful!

awesome review! great perspective on the cameras.

I'm from India, waiting for pixel 7 pro release. I really like your way of presentation. Nice work!!!

As a Pixel 3a owner, I'm extremely hesitant to go with the new google phones this year. One of the biggest reasons I am planning on getting a Samsung, maybe an s23 series, is because I have noticed a lot of reviewers off-handledly mention how they have already scratched their google devices, or cracked the screens, within the first month of ownership. I don't recall the Samsung's ever being mentioned as quite that fragile, and while I do take great care in being gentle with my device... I just do not want to risk buying a phone that people seem to break so quickly. The phones only been out for under a month, and reviewers are already damaging them? No thank you. No matter how gentle you are, you will always inevitably drop your phone. Also apparently Pixel 7s/7 pros flex poorly at the camera bump? aka if you flex them slightly they flex and crack at the metal housing there and that's pretty concerning for me considering, well pockets do flex.... It's a real shame because I love my Google pixel 3a. It's literally my first smartphone. I'm sad to abandon google, but I just don't think I want to stay with them if their phones are stupid easy to crack this year :(

Yes, the features you mentioned on the cameras definitely matter to me. I currently have the S21 Ultra and had traded it in for the iPhone 14 pro through Spectrum but I had 10 days to send in the old phone so I was able to compare them Head to Head in person. The iPhones 15x Zoom on the 14 pro left me wanting more after being used to the 21 Ultras 100 times Zoom. This feature allows me to zoom in 50 or 60 times and take photos of friends on the other side of the lake who don't even realize I'm taking their photo wow the 15x simply left me wanting more. I'm sure the same thing is true with s22 Ultras 100 Exum versus the 30X on the pixel. If Google ever comes up with a 50x then maybe I will consider it!

To me ,I think sS22 looks great 👍

How is the network and wifi connectivity and call quality. I mean it's a phone after all. P6P it was terrible and had issues with 5G band aggregation. Also how is Bluetooth connectivity and sound quality?

The beauty and customizability on my S22 Ultra is just a WOW for me. Pixel and Apple simply miss out on the wow factor. All flagship phones are expensive so why not get the most from your money. You can never get bored with the S22 and I like to play😀 Then there's the S-pen, dex and the options just go on and on. My photos come out beautifully and I'm just an amateur. Fast charging is amazing. It's all a matter of choice according to your needs. For me, I want the top dog in the race, so Samsung all the way. Thanks as always Saki. You're definetly a top dog. Love ya💖

great review as i was tempted for the Pixel 7 pro

just did a geekbench 5 run on my s21+ exynos. 1087 single core and 3538 multi core. Im surprised how relevant last years phones are

Also, the S22 Ultra has Dex, so you could potentially save money by not buying a full laptop and just get a UPerfect dock for it that will last multiple generations of phones, and be upgraded with each phone upgrade you'd do anyway.

I will choose Clean software experience on Pixel rather than Extreme features in S22 ultra. Pixel❤️ But both are value for the money💯

Extra features such as the S-Pen, DeX, etc and build quality make the S22 worth the extra $300 imo. Disappointed that the Pixel 7's USBC does not support HDMI out as I use my phones as additional cameras with my ATEM mini.

Sorry, I got addicted to my s-pen. My note(coughs*) s22 Ultra, is staying with me for a while.

Got S22U now, very satisfied. I may upgrade to S24 or a Fold that time.

Lots of good information. But with a $300 price difference it's difficult to see this as a fair comparison. Comparing the pixel 7 pro with the s22+ would be more realistic.

Been debating long and hard between these two phones, but ultimately I think the Pixel's rear is ugly with that visor and I'd really like to have the superior zoom in the S22. Now and then, that comes in really handy. Samsung wins for me.

Pixel 7 pro in terms of design is can get easily get scratchable metal frame of the camera and the shiny back design of it can get easily get finger print and smudges.

nice video! just want to ask, where do you get that s pen? can't find any other color than black

S22 for me, most comleted phone in smartphone world! S21 also, maybe it's better than S22.

Very good video! Well done comparison. I’m choosing the Samsung for sure

Receiving a telephone call on the Pixel 7 and Pixel pro is a nightmare. It goes through several hoops before you get it. A lot of times the caller just hung up.

The only thing stopping me from switching from my s21 ultra to pixel 7 pro is the lack of customization features on the 7 pro. Not being able to set custom icons is a huge downgrade for me. And i dont wanna use 3rd party launchers as their animations are never as smooth as the stock launcher

Thank you for this video.Been a long time Samsung user since the S2 and a Note user since the Note 8.I was disappointed when the note line ended. The Pixel 7 Pro I believe is the closest thing outside samsung to a samsung phone. Lots of pros and cons to make a decision on. But leaning more back to Samsung. I think the biggest mistake for Android was dropping the SD card and headphone jack.

Why does everyone talk about everything but the reception the phones get how strong of a signal do the phones get and do they drop calls

S22 Ultra is defintley sexy but the pixel not looking so bad either

Owing both.thw pixel 7 pro absolutely smashes my s22 ultra. The biggest difference is the software experience..omg the pixel 7 pro just destroys the s22 ultra. It makes it feel like 5 generations behind its that much better. No stuttering no lag no jitters and everything is butter. The cameras are better on the pixel. It's just better all round. Bye bye ultra. The s23 better be extraordinary to come close to the pixel 7 pro w

Nice video :) explained everything well Just well done:)

Hey Sak. I have an off topic question. I have a spotty carrier using a sim card in an S21ultra. I think this phone can use a virtual Sim card. My question is, can I use a virtual Sim card to a different carrier? Ideally I would like say a 10gig virtual card from carrier B that will automatically connect when the physical sim of the main carrier drops. Is this possible? If so please.... show and tell.

awesome video I have been waiting for this video

S22 will always do best when compared currently, to me.

Prefer my s22 plus before I accidentally ran it over. It felt more quality. The body was metal, the glass was nice and thick and it didn't have a trash, curved screen. I've always had a hard time when it came to trying to keep tempered glass on a curved screen - it just doesn't stay on. My only gripe with the s22 plus was the terrible battery life and slow charging. The pixel 7 pro just feels like straight plastic all around. Try tapping on the front display and see how hollow it feels. What I do like is the cleaner UI though, but might be going back to trade it in for another s22 plus. Just can't beat the overall build quality that Samsung puts into their devices.

I wish I could have the Pixel Launcher on a Galaxy Phone, with OneUI features. I just love the look/feel of Pixel Launcher more than the OneUI launcher. But I love the extra features of OneUI. Lol

Watching on my galaxy s22 ultra beautiful and wonderful smartphone. Now for me samsung galaxy S22 ultra don't have competition with Google pixel 7 pro,, Google pixel need a lot of work to do to catch up with samsung

Going from s22 to Pixel 7 pro soon, just waiting on the phone in the mail (I buy mine outright and use verizon prepay). I'll be sure to check back in once I get the pixel pro.

No one beats the phone that I own. No it's not the iPhone it's not Samsung and it's not Google it's called. The aPhone because when you need a phone it's always there for you

The camera is the most important feature i look at when comparing

I think the s pen is the least used item on my note 20 ultra. So I will defo go with the pixel 7 pro

Is the Samsung worth $300 more? To me It depends on how long you're going to keep the phone. I always keep my Samsungs for years. They always keep their zippyness and they stay compatible with all of my tv's. Additionally, I enjoy the extras in the Samsung play store. I have also owned a few Nexus phones. I love that Google always updates Android ASAP.

Google Pixel is cool but it's not touching the s22 ultra n my honest opinion...S22 ultra is great....

The winner is the one with the S pen.

Advantage of samsung is very customisable more fun amd you can make it looks like really your own phone.

Hello. Hope you are well. Thanks for your videos. If I have the option of buying the S21 Ultra or the S22 Ultra...which one shall I go for. Is it worth putting that extra money and going for the S22 Ultra or shall I just go for the S21 Ultra???

Pixel to me definitely is Android's iphone. I have to stick with the Note...Ultra. It's the S pen and other features that do it for me. BUT this camera failed error I keep getting has me ready to toss this thing. Never had this issue with the Note 20. Anyone know of any foxes for it beyond clearing cache and data and reboot? Great video as usual!

I think the secure folder makes Sammy my go to

Great comparison and evaluation

Nice comparison sakletech

Hi,i take a LOT of pics and videos of my daughter who plays softball,so,I really want a great camera. Playing shortstop,i am 60- 100 feet away at times. I assume the 100X zoom camera on the S22 is clearly the better choice?

Can anyone tell me what the clock widget Saki is using on the S22 ultra please?

When moving your icons to the other home screen, you moved FOLDERS on the S22, and individual icons for apps on the Pixel 7. Not the same thing.

Dex is great for us old man techy that need a big screen. Plus it subs for as a tablet with , for instance a 24 inch smart TV that you can move around easly

Dammm pixel looks so fluid so snappy , buttery smooth thank you im ordering the pixel 7😍🔥 i dont want the ugly samsung apps and fonts looks horrible outdated also the software updated are a year later not animore bye ugly samsung

On Google Fi's shop, they're same price right now

So I have a iPhone 12pro max and been on iPhone since the the Samsung s8 so a while I’m considering upgrading my phone to Samsung or google so google pro or s22 ultra (although yes s23 will be out soon) I use my phone for the basics, taking pics a lot watching RU-vid and social media so nothing to in-depth but mainly taking pics of the kids and watching RU-vid which would you recommend?

Great review and great video. Thanks.

This is a very well-made video.

People are saying that you should compare the Google pixel 7 Pro to the s22 Plus because the price is closer. Now I have a problem with that because the pro is the flagship for Google. So if you're going to release a flagship it doesn't matter what the price is it matters that it's flagship versus flagship. So Samsung put better components into the phone yes because it's more money. Which I see as Samsung carrying more about the longevity of the phone. They stack them to the gills so we don't have to worry about upgrading unless we want to. I never really felt forced to upgrade my Samsung phones. I also didn't with iPhone because of the fact of wow they hardly change anything. Now with the pixel 6 Pro if I still had it I definitely would have upgraded to the seven because I just did not like that phone. It had way too many problems when I had it. It didn't work for what I do. I couldn't put the brightness high off because the phone would die fast. It took forever to process videos. The only thing I really loved about that phone was the Google Assistant. Now with my s22 ultra I love everything about it except for the slowness for stutters. But he is totally right when he says there is a little less polish on the smoothness because of the fact you can do pretty much anything you want with the S22 Ultra. I will take the customizability over having a flawless phone because the fact is it's not that bad. I have OCD and things like stutters really annoy me and make me want to stop using devices. I've never really had that problem with my phone. I've never had it work to the point where I went oh I don't want this phone I'm going to get another one. I have had the Google pixel 6 Pro. iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro, and the iPhone 10. All in the last year and a half and I can safely say that this is the longest phone I've kept and I do not plan on getting rid of it anytime soon. Usually when I get a phone and think of using it for 2 years it frightens me because I love to upgrade I don't feel like I'm forced to upgrade but I love getting the new tech. But with this phone it just feels like I am going to be very happy for the next 2 years. Or at least a year and a half when it's paid off.

Noone is paying 1200 for s22u...they been on sale n are cheaper than for a 256gb for the same price as P7P

Just got the Pixel and one thing I've already noticed is that it's quick to overheat when using it in the sun. My 22 Ultra only overheats if it remains in Direct sunlight for a while.

As a photographer, I am looking for the best camera on a smart phone on the market so regardless of if I brought my DSLR with me, I still have something to get those shots

Well in India the S22 ultra and Pixel 7 Pro have a price difference of less than 60USD and also the s22 ultra provides galaxy watch 4 at a minimal cost which is a better deal as well as free ADP insurance if bought offline from Samsung.

I love the look of the Ultra but not for $300 more.

wish there was a phone with the camera of the s22 ultra but with a 5.5" display

hey saki tech, which do you think is better overall (forget about the price) just phones overall which is better. Also what is your top 5 phones right now 👌

while i find the S22 ultra sexy and i appreciate the sPen, i left samsung because of bloated software and it lags. I'm back to Sammy with my first note the N20U because Huawei was shot down and oneplus is a mess... To be very honest ill take the pixel over the s22 for price and cleaner software. I wish Samsung would do a more stockish look with thier added on features like back in the day when you could have flashed pixel like firmware or stick with samsungs effort. Google did a beautiful job with the UI design it just lacks the extras samsung gives but it just works One ui / Stock would make an awesome combo

You fail to mention the awesome software features of the pixel. The pixel is the obvious choice.

I love my S22 ultra 😍 been a Samsung baby for YEARS! In my opinion it's better than any phone on the market .

Pixel 7 pro absolutely smashes my s22 ultra. The software experience on the pixel is how android should be not like the s22 ultra which is jittery stutters lags and is just not a great experience

I prefer the pixel 6 back camera design over the 7 and they need to bring back the different color power/google button on the pixel

the galaxy screen its beautifull

Waiting on my pre order pixel 7…hope to see videos on how to get the best experience from the pixel 7…great videos thanks

I've seen some reviews of the 7 pro and the animations are quite laggy, but you say it's smoother 🤔

If the pixel’s brightness was more better, then the sunny day wouldn’t be such a hassle because one could see the screen of the phone more clearer. And reply to the messages more quicker, more efficienter and more smarter 👍😉

In India the price of s22ultra is sometimes lesser than pixel 7 pro and even almost 500 dollars lesser than regular iphone 14pro.

I have had plenty of samsung phones because i dont do iphones and looking at this new s22u the design is box shaped and the interface is always the same. I recently purchased the google pixel and right away i was welcomed with a smoother iphone feel of interface quality. Just like the guy said, its almost like a google iphone, nothing about it feels like an android. Not to mention the battery is simply amazing which immediately sold me before i even paid attention to the affordable price. For anyone wanting a new interface experience and feel wo getting the iphone, pixel nailed that spot on. Both phones appear to be equal in their own way but im very happy with my new pixel. Fyi, the pixel fold battery is terrible.

The price of the Pixel is better in relation to its features. I was a Samsung user for a long time but it changed. Samsung devices have a few downsides that i don't like. They never stopped the battery issues. Battery drains in standby very much. Also the blowing batterys occur on newer devices. Software has lots of nice customizations but is alao laggy sometimes. I dont like the performance throtteling on Samsung. I play flight sim on my phone from time to time and its not catching full performance as high fps. The news leaked that high performance is only available during benchmarks. The Pixel does not have those downsides. Yes, currently it has one major software bug with bluetooth and the always on display. Less customization. But loads of nice Googles AI features. On my side it was the pricepoint for my decision.

Samsung is more customizable and has more features

Both are very beautiful 😍 love then both but exactly as saki says the s22 ultra is a king in both complexity and features advantages camera s-pen but google.pixel 7 pro is simplified still very good for everyday photos but not for quality as s22 ultra 8k video and zoom and clarity sharpness

Pixel 7 for me. I currently have a One Plus but no more updates 😭. I really don't need the extra bells and whistles the S22 provides. Besides I feel like one day Google will surpass them all. I use to live HTC phones and Google pretty much took that fast forward to this. So my decision is 7 Pro. Thanks for the great review 🙂

actually both are very fantastic phone

the pop up windows on samsung is wuts keeping me from switching to the pixel

You used to be able to customize so many more customizing on the pixel before they did a stupid update that took all of it away 😭😭😭

There are a few features pixel has that samsung might not have...getting rid of something in a photo. Blur fix. Coolest thing is call waiting. Waits for u and calls u when someone answers. Another cool one is it gives you an on screen option list from an automatic machine so you dony have to wait forever for the robot to stop talking
