Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra vs. Google Pixel 8 Pro specs

Being flagships from famous firms, both the Samsung model and the Google handset have impressive specs. Now, let’s start the battle! First, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra specs come with a 120Hz refresh rate 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2x QHD+ screen with 1440 x 3120 pixels. With its new best-in-class anti-reflective display with 2600 nits of brightness, the S24 Ultra is a joy to look at and use all day long. Meanwhile, the Google Pixel 8 Pro specs bring a 6.7-inch OLED QHD with 1344 x 2992 pixels and a peak brightness of 2400 nits. With a smoother movements and animations, strong color accuracy and vibrance, and excellent performance outdoors in full sunlight, the Samsung phone takes advantage.

While the Samsung phone runs One UI 6.1 based on Android 14, the Google device works on Android 14. On-device AI processing is part of the package on all three processors. However, they handle it a bit differently. Google has a neural engine capable of natively running large language models like Gemini Nano. In contrast, Qualcomm and Samsung have their own AI engines that can perform local AI operations such as text-to-image generation and language translation. Under the hood, the Samsung handset employs the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Soc. On the contrary, the Google smartphone utilizes the Google Tensor G3 SoC. The Samsung phone wins again as its Qualcomm chipset is comfortably ahead of the Tensor G3 chip, especially in graphics prowess, throttling, and efficiency.

Regarding storage, both phones offer 12GB RAM and 256GB/512GB/1TB ROM (no card slot). However, Google also provides a 128GB ROM version for users with a modest budget. Hence, the Google phone wins with more storage options. Optics-wise, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra camera rocks a quad setup. It comprises a 200MP + 12MP + 10MP + 12MP and a LED. Also, it has a 12MP selfie lens. On the other hand, the Google Pixel 8 Pro rocks a triple camera setup. It includes a 50MP + 48MP + 48MP. In addition, it has a 10.5MP selfie sensor. Therefore, the Samsung handset wins with a superior camera system. Regarding the battery, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra boasts a 5000mAh with 45W wired (65% in 30 mins). However, the Google Pixel 8 Pro houses a slightly bigger 5050mAh with only 30W wired (50% in 30 mins). As a result, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is the winner.
