The battle between Google and Samsung just heated up with the launch of the Pixel 10 and Galaxy S25, and both brands are pushing hard to win Android users — www.naijnaira.com reports.
Mashable laid out the details after Google’s Made by Google event revealed full specs and features of the Pixel 10 lineup, giving buyers their first real chance to weigh it against Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S25.
Starting with price, neither company budged, as both the Pixel 10 and Galaxy S25 come in at $799. That makes other factors like performance, design, and features even more crucial.
When it comes to design, the phones are instantly recognizable. Samsung kept its minimalist vertical camera stack, while Google stayed with its wide horizontal bar across the back. While Samsung’s version sits flush, Google’s bar gives the Pixel a bolder look.
Color options may sway some buyers. The Galaxy S25 arrives in seven shades, including Navy, Coralred, and Pinkgold, with some colors only sold online. The Pixel 10 keeps things simpler, with four choices like Indigo and Obsidian.
On paper, the specifications look close, but there are meaningful differences. The Pixel 10 packs a 6.3-inch display, Google’s Tensor G5 processor, and a 4,970mAh battery that could offer more endurance. Samsung’s Galaxy S25 has a slightly smaller 6.2-inch screen, Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, and a 4,000mAh battery. Both offer 12GB of RAM, though Samsung provides an additional 512GB storage option that Google doesn’t.
AI features are now the centerpiece of both devices. Samsung had an early lead with live translation during calls and personalized daily hubs. Google matched those with Pixel 10 and added its own twists, like voice-sampled translations and text-based photo editing. “The new Camera Coach helps guide you into framing better photos,” Google explained, adding more AI-driven tools to its arsenal.
Photo editing is now on another level for both phones, letting users move objects, erase unwanted items, or generate new elements inside images. Video sound isolation also works across the two. However, Google’s AI feels more extensive, backed by its own Gemini model.
Cameras, always a deciding factor, are much closer this year. Pixel 10 includes a 48MP wide, 13MP ultrawide, and a 10.8MP telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom. Samsung counters with a 50MP wide, 10MP ultrawide, and 12MP telephoto at 3x zoom, capable of stretching to 30x digitally. Both phones deliver impressive front cameras at around 12MP.
Google adding a dedicated telephoto lens to the base Pixel 10 makes things interesting, as Pixel phones have historically excelled in photography, especially with zoom quality. Samsung may hold its edge with color profiles and zoom range, but Pixel’s computational photography remains tough to beat.
In the end, buyers face two Android giants offering polished designs, strong processors, competitive cameras, and expanding AI features. Choosing between them may come down to storage needs, preferred camera style, or how much weight you give Google’s AI tools.
