Design

Google paid a lot of attention to the design of its brand new Pixel 6 Pro. This handset comes with a very original design including a horizontal camera module, two different colors for its glass back protected by Gorilla Glass Victus, and an aluminum frame. The phone is more compact than Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra and it is waterproof with the IP68 certification. Coming to the Galaxy S22 Ultra, it has an original design too, different from its predecessor Galaxy S21 Ultra. It looks like a Galaxy Note and it even comes with an integrated S Pen. But it is chunkier and less original than the Pixel 6 Pro, that is the reason why I personally prefer the Google flagship.

 

Display

Samsung is the absolute leader of the display sector and the Galaxy S22 Ultra has a definitely better screen than the Google Pixel 6 Pro. It is an AMOLED panel with an adaptive refresh rate of up to 120 Hz, a Quad HD+ resolution, the HDR10+ certification, the Gorilla Glass Victus Plus protection, and an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint reader. Last but not least, it supports the S Pen for handwriting and drawing. Despite being inferior, the Google Pixel 6 Pro still comes with an amazing display, close to its rival with its Quad HD+ resolution, adaptive refresh rate up to 120 Hz, in-display fingerprint reader, and HDR10+.

 

Specs & Software

The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra wins the hardware comparison because it sports a stronger processor. The Google Pixel 6 Pro is the first phone with the first Google proprietary chipset, the Google Tensor. This chipset can be a good rival of the Snapdragon 888, but it is not even close to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 found on the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultram, built with a 4 nm production process and running at a max frequency of 3 GHz. Further, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra offers up to 1 TB of internal storage, while the Google Pixel 6 Pro stops at 512 GB. On the other hand, the Google Pixel 6 Pro will get faster software support as it is a Google phone and Google develops Android.

 

Camera

On the paper, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra sports the most advanced camera system. However, several experts believe that the Google Pixel 6 Pro provides a better photo quality. It comes with a 50 MP main camera including laser autofocus and OIS, a stunning 48 MP telephoto sensor with 4x optical zoom, and a 12 MP ultrawide camera. Google’s algorithm seems to do a great job at enhancing the photo quality provided by its flagship.

 

Battery

Both Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra and Google Pixel 6 Pro come with a battery capacity close to 5000 mAh. The battery life provided by these two handsets should not be so different if we consider that they have similar hardware components in terms of efficiency.

 

Price

The Google Pixel 6 Pro can be purchased for less than €1000 or $900, while you need more than €1250 or $1200 to grab a unit of the Galaxy S22 Ultra. The Samsung flagship is a more advanced device thanks to S Pen, its great display, stronger processor, and faster charging. But the Google Pixel 6 Pro has its important pros such as software support and its amazing camera performance.
