EDITORIAL: In what is now Google tradition, new Pixel is a small improvment over the previous model: new processor, improved WiFi and faster (15W->25W) wireless charging is all that is really different this time.
PROs
flagship built, 30hr endurance from a 4900mAh old-tech lithium battery with 80min slow 30W (25W wireless) charging, very bright ~2100nits 420ppi 120Hz OLED screen with HDR10+, IP68 protection, good imaging from a 48MP 25mm OIS main + 10.8MP 112mm OIS tele + 13MP ultrawide (all 3 PDAF) setup, excellent 10.5MP 21mm PDAF selfie, decent video recording safe for ultrawide at night, 7 years of OS updates promise with AI and other features loaded Android version, basic desktop replacement functionality, fast USB-C 3.2 port
CONs
midrange Tensor G6 (3nm) processor with UFS 4.0 performance, no memory expansion, limited market availability, expensive for a midrange phone
Samsung Galaxy S24+

EDITORIAL: Top of some of the âBest Android Phoneâ lists, the S24+ is a lovely package that delivers so much flagship here. Samsungâs strategy of saving âthe Bestâ title for their Ultra phone takes some excitement out of the S24+. Itâs a shame as this is actually Samsungâs âtop phone without a stylusâ. Excellent screen, 7 year OS update policy and the full featured Desktop replacement software make the S24+ a much better phone than it appears. It only itâs battery was betterâ¦
PROs
great build, still fast SD 8 Gen 3 performance, exceptional >500ppi and >1400nits LTPO AMOLED screen, excellent daylight photos and videos from every lens (50MP main & 10MP tele have OIS PDAF, 12MP selfie with PDAF and a 12MP ultrawide with no OIS nor PDAF) â the low-light photos can sometimes be inconsistent, long OS update promise and DeX too
CONs
Samsungâs lack of innovation and drive â similar design year over year, years of the same IP68, a long tradition of sub 4900mAh batteries with 45W charging, removal of SDmemory option (updated Apr 16, 2025)
