S24 Ultra vs Pixel 8 Pro: Closer Than You Think! 

I started using Pixels last April and it's great to use devices with no bloatware.

In my country there is no discussion, s24 ultra all the way. Here in south america we have no pixel support, no 5g , no warranty .

Pixel has won me over with speech to text. I’ve played around with my 6a a lot and found that voice to text and photo editing and magic eraser work off line. It’s doing more on device than I originally thought.

I have both phones. I love using the Pixel 8 Pro. However, there's no comparing the Pixel 8 pro to the S24 Ultra. The Ultra is a true flagship with an all-day battery life. I wish the Pixel had the snapdragon 3 processor, which may help with the battery life. Also, I understand that the Pixel might be on sale. However, please don't forget about the countless deals that Samsung has in place for there the S24 lineup.

I went from iphone 13 pro max to pixel 8 pro. The format of the pixel it makes it feel lesser. Why isnt the phone as wide as the iphone or galaxy? Recently got the s24 ultra and it actually feels like an upgrade from the 13 pro max.

I agree 1000%!!! I have both and I really do use my pixel 8 Pro alot as well it's such an amazing phone !!!!

In my country the pixel 8 pro is $200 less than rhe s24+ when both are full price so far from the price of the s24 ultra. I like both brands but am currently on a p8p and very happy with my choice. Its not perfect, but no phone is and the battery easily makes it through an enitre day for me. The phone is smooth, snappy, camera rarely gives me a bad photo and makes most of them fabulous and I'm finding rhe simplicity in what it does refreshing. Thank you for providing a balanced view.

I bought the pixel 8 pro and I love it. I also purchased the s24+ which I also really love. I was going to get the s24 ultra, but the trade in for the s24+ was a better deal. I think its a great device. Pretty much every year I get the new pixel because of the stock android and amazing camera. The only thing I wished the p8 pro had was something to compete with Dex. I enjoy the s24+ a lot. If I had to choose between them, I would have to say pixel 8 pro!

My only reason I traded my Pixel 7 pro in for an iPhone, was because it was dropping cell signal. That made me miss a couple of calls from family and work which was unacceptable. However I do miss a lot of the features from the Pixel, and if they have fixed the modem and it's cell connection issues on the 8 pro and the 9 pro whenever that drops. I might make the switch back to Pixel this year :)

Well I love the pixel.. Ive bought the pixel 6, 7, 7 pro and now the 8 which I sold and kept the s24... Coz I had to give my pixel 8 at the service centre and apparently the microphone, speakers had some issues and eventually I was told the motherboard itself is damaged.. And to add to that there was some white spot on the display... They changed the display and the other parts, repaired and returned the phone which was then working fine... But got me thinking how can so many parts of a phone go bad in just 3 months...! Decided to sell before something else stopped working.. I loved the pixel but the quality is still inferior and parts get spoilt at the drop of a hat..! Samsung galaxy s24 and iPhone 15 were the choices I had.. s24 it is... ❤❤❤

I totally agree with you. I had been a Samsung fan user 100 percent for 10 plus years. Didn't think I'd ever leave. But I changed carriers and by far the best deal for me was pixel 7 pro with the 8 around the corner. 7 was nice but I was ready to come back to Samsung. But then the 8 pro came out. I get it optimistic it would stay in my possession very long. I was amazed yes the AI number 1 and surprised with the AI the chip is snappy very pleased. Yes you can do benchmark after benchmark and Samsung is superior but in real life you notice no differences and even so all positives now to me outweighs any negatives. I thought I'd miss the S- pen but the AI and my swipe typing has increased my typing to be as fast or faster than using the S-pen.

My wife and I traded our 11pro max iphones for s24 ultras. Super happy with the phone

I've recently swapped from the iPhone 15 Pro Max 2 the Pixel 8 Pro and for the most part I'm happy with my decision the only thing I wish the Pixel 8 Pro would improve is the battery face unlock and full photo caller i.d

I had the S9 and S10e but then switched to the Pixel 5, 6 Pro and 7. Now I'm using the S24 because I loved the Pixel 5 but had issues with the 6 Pro and 7. I like the Pixel UI but the last two phones had weird glitches and battery issues, especially after updating to the newest Android

Currently in Canada on the day of this comment, the Samsung S24 Ultra is on sale for $300 off, bringing the difference in price with the Pixel 8 pro to around $60. I wonder if this changes the value proposition?

On my Pixel 7 the battery life is decent when I'm on wifi but when I'm on strictly mobile data the battery life is horrible. I still run into reception/connectivity issues occasionally also and that's just not acceptable in 2024. Has the Pixel 8 Pro greatly improved on those issues or is 2025's Pixel lineup with the new TSMC made chips (& hopefully better modems) going to be the first chance we may see real improvement there? Please advise your thoughts. Thank you.

A pixel camera on a Samsung phone would be the perfect combination

Had to RMA my pixel 8 pro twice so I'm going to try out the S24 Ultra, currently $300 off. Love Pixels but having issues with two copies is a pretty bad look

Pixel IS the smartest smartphone out. I love the software and features that Google offers to the Pixel phones. But both are great indeed. ❤😎

I almost got one. the Verizon reviews are brutal. I'd like to get the 9 Pro.

That's funny. I got the bay blue and 512 because it was 200 bucks off at Google I've had several pixels and I got away because I listen to all the rigmarole and then I started watching your videos about the 8 pro. I decided to give it another chance and I am so glad I did. I missed the Google experience. I can't wait for the tensor 5 but I probably wouldn't have bought this if I didn't listen to you because so many people harp on Google and I get what you're saying so I decide to give it another chance and I'm glad I did. Thanks for the videos

I'm still on the p30 pro but no security updates etc and general wear I'm thinking of going to the p8p this week. Hope the camera (especially in low light) is at least on par with Huawei leica cameras 👍

Thanks for this video. I’m in the market for a new phone and have narrowed it down between the S24 Ultra or the Pixel 8 Pro. I’m leaning towards the Pixel 8 Pro because I like vanilla Android. I don’t think it’s boring at all.

The pixel is a great device if you are based in the USA. Most of the Ai doesn't work in the rest of the world it's not worth £100 in the UK. Samsung Ai works in UK and Europe and most other countries. As you point out it's Google tec so how come pixel is so restricted outside of US ?

I wish the Pixel had all day battery and didn't get hot to the touch. I love the phone,but unfortunately that hasn't been my experience. Using a OnePlus 12 now,wish camera was better and not a fan of oxygen OS but I love everything else about it. Battery life and charging speed!

Great content. So is it really 500 difference, with the trade-in and free upgrade to 512 gigs of memory. So you actually save more than 500.

I want the pixel 8 pro so bad, but the cases (especially the magsafe cases) are so BORING!! I'm clumsy and drop my phone all the time, so a case is a must have for me. That UAG Monarch Pro Kevlar just looks so dope on the s24 ultra...

The reason i prefer pixel over iPhone or galaxy ultra is the value and performance with feature drop that made the phone just like new hardware launch.

Man, I just took some pictures with this pixel and it is awesome!

I love pixel phones but I can have them because they have a huge problem with the signal connection, and the 8 pro is not an exception. Crossing fingers for next year's 😢

I like One UI but prefer Pixel for experience and camera quality. It still needs some tuning with the software with performance though

This guy has grown on me......

GOOGLE IS AI KING💯%FACT

I have wanted to buy a pixel for a long time but im into smartwatches too so maybe this year if they release a bigger watch ill buy it. Or i may go back to iphone just because my family all use apple products, at least I have my samsung tablet so I can continue to do my android things if I switch

My wife loves her Pixel 8 Pro, having replaced her Pixel 6.

I love your style sir. You are the best no nonsense reviewer with great information.

I soured on Samsung for a lot of reasons. A couple of the main ones are their bloatware, crappy software and the (lack of) support for it. I simply wanted the best stock android experience I could find, so I opted for Pixel 8 Pro.

Always great videos. The P8 pro has been a joy to use. Battery could be a bit better but the phone is so smooth.

Great review man, thank you

Excellent points that 7 years seems awesome.

I agree with everything you said. The only challenge for me to keep me away from the Google pixel is their headset speaker when you have a call it's too loud and has vibration ... all the previous pixels the same which is odd !

I get what your saying as a pixel 6 pro owner. My issue is pixel 8 and 24 ultra are at the same price point since my carrier is offering $500 the S24 ultra and makes my choice on which one I want even harder..

I´m still using the Pixel 6 Pro since launch, and I´m pretty happy with it. If I would like to buy a new phone in 2024 I think I would get again a Pixel phone. Samsung is overpriced in my opinion. Also I don´t like the Samsung UI and that software updates takes longer to roll out. Google and stock android is a really great experience for me, especially for the very good price performance ratio.

Im turning 13 soon in 16 days and ill be getting a new phone and that new phone is definitely gonna be the google pixel 8 pro. Due to its reliability and also how well designed it is to be a close to a iPhone without straight up copying them. I currently own the 2015 6s iphone and it is trash i must tell you. So for sure ill be getting the Pixel 8 Pro, also is it just me or is he kinda winking and like twitching a bit when he blinks. Sorry im not trying to be judgemental Im just asking. Thank you so much man for giving me a deep down review for the two flagship phones 😊

I've had Samsung phones in the past I've always wanted to try the pixel every since the pixel 4 so i started with the 7 pro ... i loved it i traded it in for the pixel 8 pro an i love this phone Best phone i ever had for sure... an bay blue is color of the year for sure.

I used nexus and pixels for a long time and had to return almost every one of them i hope the hardware is getting better. Seems like it might be

What's ur everyday driver? Candy bar or fold?

The pixel 8 pro versus s24 Plus makes more sense because they are more identical. Identical price and specs and pretty much everything else. The pixel 8 pro versus the 24 Ultra is a means of best of what Google has to offer versus the best of what Samsung has offer

I'm getting the pixel 6a to see if I can switch from Samsung A54. If I like it, I may get the 8pro.

Sold my S23 Ultra for Pixel 8 Pro and I love it. I had a Pixel 6 now it's even better ... ❤❤❤

Can you please compare the OnePlus 12 vs pixel 8 pro?

I have the pixel 8 pro but the battery could be a lot better with 5G on i can make it a whole day

S24 Ultra doesn't have the banking app unlock with face unlock big downside. That's why I went with the Pixel 8 Pro and I love my Pixel 8 Pro.

I really like this phone. I got the pixel 8 pro. I had the Galaxy s23. I like straight Google. I missed having straight Google every time the Samsung would update my Google stuff would disappear on the s23 I can tell it's not quite as fast but I really feel like the quality is here. I'm really liking the 8 pro and I can't wait for the nine pro to come out cuz it looks cool and I can't wait for the tents or five chip to come out

I'm all Pixel! They're just amazing phones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

7 years of updates that's why I chose 8 pro that's awesome 😊

I'm glad you made this video Adam.. All I hear on here is how the 8 Pro is garbage compared up the 24 Ultra.

I started using a Google pixel 8 pro for the first time after using Samsung all my life and I'm beyond impressed.The AI is brilliant it's snappy and Im glad I chose the Pixel.I get a supers smart phone for under a thousand.Samsung s24 is an amazing but I guess it comes down to preference .you will be happy with either phones

I bought the 6pro for the great 20x zoom ability for wildlife pictures. Does 7pro or 8pro offer even more zoom ability?

Edge+ 2022 has pen support....

Pixel AI is so easy to use , fast and way ahead of samsung and apple.

Now throw a third choice in, the OnePlus 12, and compare all three, please. I am stuck trying to decide which way to go, and I'm sure many other people are.

S24 ultra any day want cheaper price then Google

Great video👍

True and factual as always. Thanks so much...

Im a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra user and I would prefer the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, although I think both phones are amazing.

Does it really matter? At this point Google could sell an actual turd and get praise for it.

Which one do you feel like has the easier to view display in the bright outdoors

So what's the avg sot time for a p8p?? I just got a p8p and the 2nd day battery life is HORRIBLE!! 5h sot at 36% 😱😱😱😱😱 I'll probably give it a month just to be fair, but my s23 ultra puts this P8P to shame on the battery. I get avg of 10-11h sot on my s23 ultra. If this p8p can't get at the very least 8h sot then that is a deal breaker (for me) I love the camera, love most of the aspects of the p8p, but the battery life is just unacceptable right now. How people can accept 6h sot as good as beyond me. That's NOT good by a long stretch. Moto edge plus 2023 10-11h sot, s23 ultra 10-11h sot, p8p 6h sot? 🤔🤔

If the pixels processor is so great why can't it handle gaming on par with the ultra and 15 pro max

Saying that the pixel 8 pro doesn't get hot is the biggest lie here, also the all day battery for the pixel 8 pro lol. Not true! everything else i agree they are both great devices I got the 8 pro and when i do intense tasks it gets pretty warm. A lot of the reasons why people think the s24 or s23 ultra is better is because samsung screens are plain gorgeous, there's no comparison there

Will the AI features come on the S23 models or is it specifically for the S24 just wondering if it's worth an upgrade

You should make such videos for Oneplus 12 as well... I think Samsung and iPhones are overrated... Hope through your videos, you can educate people that the world is beyond Galaxy and iPhone...

Closer 🙂

S24 ultra anyday all day. The pixel 8 pro is a flagship built phone with a midlevel processor. You really couldnt be more wrong.

Samsung camera is just.. a tier below the competition on this generation, which shouldn't be the case at its $1400 price tag. I'd rather take the pixel and have 10 fps less on my games....

Samsung keeps adding to One UI...its better...but in 2025, Google os using TSG to manufacturer their custom chips. That's big.

You be killing me who helps make pixel chips the pixel is better than the s24 ultra

I watch all your content. Anything related to pixel devices is only relevant in USA.

Heard anything about iPhone 15 pro getting Ai stuff?

I'll never understand why people love shitting on the Pixel. They're objectively great phones with smooth fluid software and great cameras. And I'm saying that as a certified Samsung knight. Like right now I'm watching this on my S24U. But for people who like a simpler UI you can't go wrong with a Pixel.

Thank you....

The problem for both of these phones is that the OnePlus 12 exists and it's 90% of the S24U for the price of the Pixel 8 Pro (oh and it lets you disable the stupid nav bar which Samsung and Google don't allow you to do without root)

I'm wondering what the Pixel 9pro will be like? 🤔

I think you should compare the 8 pro with the S24+ as they are similarly sized and priced.

Bring your pixel to Barcelona and your Samsung see which one has the best Ai experience

Pixel 8 pro vs OnePlus 12?🤔

Is it an S23 or a S24?

Got the P8P but have to admit I’m curious about the OP12

I think people shit on Google Pixel because of the big camera bar bulging out, the app display and the wallpapers

I like google pixel 8 pro ❤ Great review

Does anyone know if the Pixel 8 Pro Android Auto works? My 7 Pro AA stopped working after an update last year!

Techodyssey , off topic do you use any antivirus on your phone? If so which one? Thx

Nice video

You got an attitude problem mr!

I just wish pixel would add an spen

Gemini was supposed to be good but is messing up big

Id love the P8P. But I needed battery life and a nice fingerprint scanner and Google is simply behind on that.

I didn't consider Samsung when deciding on my upgrade. It was between the Apple iPhone 15 Pro or the Google Pixel 8 Pro. The Pixel's 5x zoom won me over the 3x zoom on the iPhone 15 Pro. I might consider iPhone again in December 2025, depending on the features of the iPhone 17 Pro and the performance of the TSMC-made Tensor G5 in the Pixel 10 Pro. As for Samsung, I prefer to avoid its bloatware and duplication of apps that Google provides anyway.

Well samsung don't have their own AI or smartest AI yet yet! But remember this is really samsungs first go around at really pushing AI. I think they will really enhance on it soon and start standing on their own lol
