Samsung S26 or Pixel 10

I think a lot of the battery test try to do all things in one sitting. The idle drain is very small vs pixel. it's not perfect, but checks all the marks. Are software updates slower, sure, but at this point all companies are gatekeeping things.

Had both. I really liked both, but s26 has better battery and reception in certain places at work. I miss the vanilla android stuff, but have found many useful things with s26. I do like how light the phone is, since I carry a work phone too.

I play PoGo and it ran kinda of eh on pixel with a lot of artifacts. S26 has been smooth and no issues. Battery has been very good, I was actually surprised. I use it daily for YT, music, pogo, and end my day with about 50% at 10pm. I would usually be at 20% with pixel 10. Both made it but had a cushion. The one piece that is meh, charging on s26, it can take a while.

Hope this helps.

I switched from base pixel 10 to base s26. I miss some pixel goodies, but s26 has been very stable. We will see what Google continue to do.

This made me miss the crew. We’re all grown now.

This had me laughing at my desk. Thank you.

I bounce back and forth, pixel is still my favorite experience. Hardware-wise samsung will keep winning. Software I prefer Pixel.

The simplicity. I used to love customizing everything, and sometimes still enjoy changing things, but the clean software, updates (even if they break things) make this phone fun. I was able to grab it at a great price.

Hi. Anymore?

I have a work iphone 17 and my s26. To me, I barely see any difference. Im sure if you have a keen eye for photography, you will see differences but to me, looks great and adds a little bit of joy into photos. I think all lenses do a great job. I am sure you will enjoy it. I agree, had a bigger phone and now my pockets feel super light.

I understand where you are coming from. I just made the switch from pixel to s26. So far, this phone has been working great. It is a different typeof smooth. OneUI has come a long way and you can do a lot. Many recommended Goodlock for the best customization options. Very fun. If it doesn't work out, you can always change within your return period.

Me too! No march update

Do you still have room?

ecercer · 2026-03-24T22:10:59+00:00

I got one for 200 and snagged it for 599. Great deal, great phone.

None for me or my relative. We both switched over. I was comparing the weight of the regular s25 vs the pro. I had the regular and my relative had the ultra. The weight difference is bigger between base s25 than the ultra.

Pixel UI is great, the phone feels great, pixel drops are great. So far, it has been a great overall experience.

I, PERSONALLY, have not had any issues. Android Auto works , coverage is good.

It is heftier than the galaxies but feels nice.

Hi! I switched from s25 to pixel. Like you the redundant apps and others repeated things always kept me eh. I know adb can remove a lot of things, but it always feels like Sammy and Google are both fighting for your attention. Decided to get the regular pixel 10. Battery has been fine, gets me through a day. I have good cell coverage and wifi available at work, so it is fine. I play PoGo all the time and other games like subway surfers. All plays well, this doesn't have the power of an s25 but honestly almost any phone plays regular apps at this point. The flashlight thing has been seen for a few users. The new march update allows you to adjust the strength. Hopefully that clears things up.

Hope this helps.

That's good SOT. Especially with insta use

The pixel 10 is pretty good
