Samsung Galaxy S22 plus V/S Google Pixel 6 Pro
Google Pixel 6 Pro
Google pulled all the stops with its top-of-the-line Pixel 6 Pro. You get an outstanding set of cameras, powerful AI processing by Tensor, and a gigantic battery. On the flip side, the Pixel suffers in the charging department and its display isn’t nearly as bright as the S22 Plus.
+ Tensor and 12GB RAM slay performance
+ Android 12 Material You is fantastic
+ Unmatched photographing capabilities
+ Generous 5,000mAh battery
– Slow charging speed
– Doesn’t ship with a charger
– Inconsistent in-screen fingerprint scanner
Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus
Of the three S22 models, the Galaxy S22 Plus sits in the middle in terms of specs and price alike. It has a dazzlingly bright display, solid cameras, and the robust Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, but heavy use leads to overheating and the battery is just okay.
+ Snappy 120Hz display shines stunningly bright in the sun
+ Major platform updates for four years
+ Cameras are great all-around
+ 45W fast charging
+ One UI 4.1 based on Android 12 is smooth
– Heats up when used heavily
– No charger in the box
– Only 8GB RAM
Pitting the Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus against the Google Pixel 6 Pro means two of the newest, swankiest, and most premium flagship devices going to war. As expected, you get state-of-the-art specifications in both Android phones, including heavy-duty internals, water and dust resistance, charming aesthetics, and fantastic software to boot. Yes, both the Galaxy and the Pixel phones are smashing hits, but they are not created equal.
