The wait is over. We now know the whole thing we wish to know concerning the Google Pixel 10, this means that it is time to do a little comparin’.
Google bared all all the way through its Made by means of Google tournament, giving us a have a look at specifications and lines for its newest batch of flagship smartphones. After all, this comes a number of months after Samsung did the similar factor with the Galaxy S25 line. I wager you recognize what is coming subsequent.
Google brings reside translation for telephone calls and lots extra AI to Pixel 10 collection
That is proper — we are hanging those base fashions face to face. Take note we have simply begun checking out the new Pixel 10 collection, so we will have extra insights to proportion quickly.
How do those two Android titans stack up to each other?
Pixel 10 vs. Galaxy S25: Value
Our first class is most likely going to be the shortest and absolute best one to litigate. Either one of those telephones get started at $799.
See? That was once simple. Let’s transfer on.
Design
Pixel 10 has a extra unique glance, I believe.

So far as design is anxious, either one of those telephones…principally simply appear to be smartphones. Alternatively, Google and Samsung do have fairly distinct visible languages for his or her telephones, and each the Pixel 10 and Galaxy S25 lift ahead what every logo have been doing in years prior.
In different phrases, their rear digicam arrays glance other. Samsung’s is vertically orientated, with all 3 lenses stacked on best of each other, unfastened from any more or less boxed in digicam bump. Google’s is the overall reverse; 3 lenses housed in a horizontally orientated digicam bar that stops the telephone from sitting flush on a flat floor. That is in the long run a question of private choice, regardless that admittedly the Google digicam bar seems to be extra futuristic, if that is your factor.

As for colours, Samsung has extra choices than Google. The Galaxy S25 is available in seven colours: Army, Mint, Icy Blue, Silver Shadow, Blueblack, Coralred, and Pinkgold. It must be famous that the latter 3 choices are on-line exclusives. As for Pixel 10, you simply get 4 possible choices: Indigo, Frost, Lemongrass, and Obsidian.

Listed below are how the fundamental specifications for the Google Pixel 10 glance:
6.3-inch show with 1080×2424 answer and adaptive 60-120Hz refresh charge
Google Tensor G5 chip
4,970mAh battery promising 30+ hours of lifestyles
12GB RAM
128GB/256GB garage
And listed here are the similar specifications on Galaxy S25:
To place that into layman’s phrases, each telephones include very identical shows and an identical quantity of RAM. Alternatively, issues diverge from there. The 2 telephones use fully other processors, however till the Pixel 10 is if truth be told in the market in public (we have simply begun our inside checking out procedure), it is onerous to mention which one is healthier at this time, each when it comes to on a regular basis efficiency and benchmark ratings. Previously, Snapdragon chips have had higher benchmarks than Tensor, however the real daily usability has been identical sufficient to roughly negate that.
Samsung’s telephone additionally has a 512GB garage choice in case you are keen to spend more cash. Google does no longer be offering that a lot garage on Pixel 10, regardless that Google has its personal cloud garage carrier. Battery lifestyles may be going to be one thing to look at because the Pixel 10 rolls out publicly, as Google’s telephone has a considerably better mobile within it than Samsung’s handset. Whether or not or no longer that interprets into considerably higher battery lifestyles is unclear at this level, however it is no doubt value maintaining a tally of.
AI options
Each telephones can do reside translation all the way through calls.

It might take eternally to stipulate each and every unmarried little AI characteristic that either one of those telephones have, however put merely, Google’s latest handset did so much to catch as much as Samsung.
For starters, Samsung already had reside language translation all the way through telephone calls, in addition to a personalised day by day hub that includes your time table, any duties you wish to have to finish all the way through that day, the elements forecast, and information you’ll be able to use. Pixel 10 presented very identical (or principally precisely the similar) options, however with other names. Each telephones also are appropriate with Gemini Reside, if you happen to like speaking for your telephone as though it is a individual. We must notice that Google’s reside translation characteristic samples your voice, one thing different cellular translation gear can not but do.
There also are suites of photograph modifying and symbol era instrument to clutter round with on each units. For what it is value, Google’s appear just a little extra complete. Each telephones be capable of generatively edit footage by means of highlighting gadgets and transferring them round to the person’s liking, and even including issues that did not exist to the footage. You’ll be able to music out undesirable audio in movies on each units, too.
Pixel 10 introduces text-based photograph modifying, if your talent to explain what you wish to have is healthier than your talent to if truth be told make the edits your self. Pixel 10’s Digicam Trainer additionally makes use of AI to lend a hand customers compose higher pictures, regardless that it continues to be observed how smartly this works. So far as I will be able to inform, Samsung’s telephone does not have similar options to those simply but.
On stability, Google will get the brink when it comes to AI, which should not be a marvel, as Google has its personal AI fashions. When you go for the Pixel 10 Professional, Professional XL, or Professional Fold, you can additionally get a unfastened yr of Google’s AI Professional plan, which is no longer to be had with the bottom Pixel 10. So, if you happen to in point of fact care about AI, you’ll be happier with the Pixel 10 Professional anyway.
Cameras
Sorry, no digicam checking out on Pixel 10 simply but.

As for cameras, that is a space the place Samsung would’ve had a large benefit, had Google no longer made one primary trade to the bottom Pixel 10 this yr. Listed below are the Pixel 10’s digicam specifications:
Rear cameras: 48MP vast, 13MP ultrawide, 10.8MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom and Tremendous Res Zoom as much as 20x
Entrance digicam: 10.5MP
And this is how the Galaxy S25 compares:
Rear cameras: 50MP vast, 10MP ultrawide, 12MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom and virtual zoom as much as 30x
Entrance digicam: 12MP

Whilst there are minor variations to imagine when it comes to megapixel counts, those are two beautiful identical digicam arrays at the floor. The massive benefit Samsung would have had previous to this yr is the presence of a 3rd telephoto lens at the again. Sadly for Samsung, Google added one this yr and its optical zoom is healthier on paper. Previously, I have had a lot better good fortune with zoom lenses on Pixel telephones than Samsung telephones, for no matter that is value.
Pixel telephones generally have a tendency to be very good for pictures, in my enjoy. Or, no less than the type of pictures that individuals like me who don’t seem to be just right at taking footage care to do, reminiscent of snapping pics of random cats I meet in the street.
Best gives on those smartphones
