Updates guaranteed until August 2032›Security updates until September 2032, 7 Android upgrades
Google and Samsung each publish a guaranteed support period, counted in their own way. They are shown as they are, without a gain or a loss. Pixel 10: Calculated from Google's policy, because Google does not list an end date for each model. Google: "Pixel 8 and later phones will get updates for 7 years starting from when the device first became available on the Google Store in the US." Google's update policy
What does this mean?
Both makers promise updates, counted in their own way. Google promises Android and security updates until a month it works out from when a Pixel first went on sale on the US Google Store. Samsung promises security updates until a month and a number of Android upgrades: for recent models Samsung's own page gives the month, and for older promises the site works it out from the years Samsung announced, saying so under the row.
The two promises are not counted the same way, so both are shown as they are, without a gain or a loss.
Matters most if: You plan to keep the phone for many years, or you are buying one used.

Battery life (each maker's figure)
24+ hour battery life›Up to 28 hours of video playbackDifferent
What does this mean?
Each maker's own battery test. Google's figure is an estimate for a typical Pixel user's mix of calls, mobile data, standby and other use; Samsung's is hours of video playback on recent phones.
The tests are different, so the site shows both without picking a winner.
Matters most if: You often run out of battery before the end of the day.
Battery capacity
4970 mAh›4900 mAh
What does this mean?
mAh (milliamp-hours) measures how much charge a battery holds, like the size of a fuel tank.
Both makers list a capacity. A bigger number alone does not mean longer battery life.
Camera2 gains · 1 loss
Main camera
48 MP›50 MP
What does this mean?
MP stands for megapixels. One megapixel is one million tiny dots. A 12 MP photo is made of 12 million dots, a 48 MP photo of 48 million dots.
On a phone screen, a 12 MP and a 48 MP photo look almost the same. The difference shows when you zoom in, crop part of the photo, or print it large: more dots means detail holds up longer. More megapixels also lets the phone zoom 2x by cropping without losing quality.
Matters most if: You crop photos, print them, or zoom in on details later.
Optical zoom
5x optical zoom›3x optical zoom
Only optical zoom is compared. Google's Super Res Zoom and Pro Zoom and Samsung's Space Zoom use processing, not a lens.
What does this mean?
How much the zoom lens (telephoto camera) magnifies with glass, so the photo stays sharp. Where a phone has two zoom lenses, the longer one is compared.
Only lenses are compared. Google's Super Res Zoom and Pro Zoom and Samsung's Space Zoom use processing, not a separate lens, so they are not counted.
Matters most if: You photograph kids' sports, concerts, pets or wildlife from a distance.
Front camera
10.5 MP›12 MP
Rear cameras
3 (same on both)
What does this mean?
How many cameras are on the back. Each one has a different lens: standard, wide, or zoomed-in.
More cameras means more ways to frame a shot without walking closer or further away: fit a whole room in with the wide lens, or get a close shot of something far away with the zoom lens.
Ultra wide camera
Yes (same on both)
What does this mean?
A second lens that sees a much wider area than the main camera.
You can fit a whole room, a tall building or a big group into one photo without stepping back. On many models it is also used for macro (very close-up) photos.
Matters most if: You take photos indoors, of landscapes, or of groups.
Telephoto camera
Yes (same on both)
What does this mean?
A zoom lens: a separate camera that sees things far away as if you were closer.
Zooming with a real zoom lens keeps the photo sharp. Without one, the phone has to cut out part of the image, so it gets blurrier the more you zoom. It also makes portrait photos look more flattering, because you can stand further back.
Matters most if: You photograph kids' sports, concerts, pets or wildlife from a distance.
Screen1 change · 1 unconfirmed

Not confirmed›Dynamic AMOLED 2X
What does this mean?
Each maker's own words for the screen: Google's names such as Actua and Super Actua, and Samsung's such as Dynamic AMOLED 2X.
A name alone does not tell you which screen is brighter or sharper, so the row is marked "Different" without a winner.

What does this mean?
How fast the phone charges with a cable, in each maker's own words.
Google states how much of the battery fills in a set time with a given charger; Samsung names a charging speed in watts. The two are not the same measure, so the row shows both side by side as "Different".

What does this mean?
RAM is the phone's working memory for the apps you have open right now, measured in GB (gigabytes). It is separate from storage.
Google and Samsung both list RAM; the site shows each maker's figure.
