The Galaxy S24 Ultra was released in January 2024, while the Google Pixel 9 XL just made its debut in August. The Pixel 9 XL is less expensive, $1,099 vs $1,299 for the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.

Both phones sport Android 14, while users benefit from the more intuitive One UI 6.1 skin on Samsung’s Galaxy S24. The Pixel 9 Pro XL is powered with the Google Tensor chipset, while the Samsung is powered with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.

The battery on the Pixel 9 Pro XL is a tad larger. But the Galaxy S24 still has a longer battery life thanks to its more efficient processor.

Photography Enthusiasts Have Reasons to Love Both Phones

 

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra was hailed as having arguably the best camera on a phone. Enter the Pixel 9 Pro XL, and both phones have serious bragging rights.

The camera on the Samsung S24 didn’t change much from its predecessor. The most notable difference is Samsung exchanged the 10x zoom lens for a 5x zoom lens with a better sensor. The reasoning was that 5x zoom is simply more practical and useful.

The shining feature on the Pixel 9 Pro XL is its 48 MP wide-angle selfie lens. Compared to the Samsung S24 Ultra’s 12 MP, the Pixel 9 is capable of impressive selfies with soft shadows and highlights.

A photo competition between the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL vs. Samsung S24 Ultra is a toss-up. Samsung offers vibrant colors, while Pixel produces smoother shadows and highlights.

 

Google Pixel 9 Pro XL vs. Samsung S24 Ultra: Who Has the Best AI?

 

When it comes to AI, Google Pixel 9 Pro XL comes out on top, even if some of the AI features don’t seem particularly useful.

With Pixel’s Gemini Advanced, users can ask something and get a pretty good response. Users can switch to Gemini Live and engage the AI in a conversation. The major downside to Gemini Advanced is that it’s a $20 monthly subscription.

Pixel 9 Pro also has generative AI capabilities and AI image editing. An Add Me tool allows you to add the photographer into a group photo. Use Reimagine to change or add elements to a photo. Or use Pixel Studio to generate entire images from prompts.

Samsung’s AI features include photo editing hacks to remove objects, reposition people, and remove shadows and reflections. Overall, Samsung’s AI features are hidden and somewhat difficult to use.
