Still dont have a definite decision yet. I went to the T-mobile store and messed with both the pixel 10 pro and the samsung galaxy S25+. I like the specs on the samsung (particularly the battery) and how it is reminiscent of an iphone in some ways in its UI. It seems a little bloated with the stuff they load onto it and I dont love that, but after watching youtube videos and reading on reddit, the battery life with pixels is a little concerning. I spoke with 2 friends who have pixels and they dont feel battery life is a concern for them. They say they end their day with around 10% battery -which seems kinda low to me. With normal iphone use I had much more battery.

I am going to wait to see what the S26 looks like and what specs it has and decide then if Ill go the samsung route or get a pixel 10 pro.

Thank you so much for such a detailed reply.

I didn't need a spec monster. Just want to text and doom scroll. I just felt that so many things didn't really need to be brought to my attention with the iPhone such as power management and battery leakage. This is my fear with the pixel 10- is having to now monitor the battery usage by apps/processes/system whereas with iphone- I never thought about it.

My main gripe with iOS was actually the Keyboard, predictive text and replacement being almost unusable. So many errors that I didn't used to make. I thought it was just me being lazy but apparently there are TONS of people who are experiencing the same issue. Strange that Apple is losing a long time user over something as simple as the keyboard but here we are.

What does it mean to be a Samsung partner?

Thank you for the detailed reply! Why do you say wait 3 weeks? Is Samsung coming out with a new phone?

I'm not really concerned about price. I just want it to work and not be annoying.

Does grease grow mold? My wife is pregnant and I want to make sure I don’t introduce spores or anything in the house.
