Galaxy S10 vs. Google Pixel 3: Which One Should You Buy?

The Galaxy S10 hits pretty much up to the smallest nail: the market's best screen, Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon processor, three rear cameras, expandable storage and headphone jack. For most people, this will be the phone to get. However, if you want a phone that takes the best photos possible or values ​​a clean software experience with quick updates, the Pixel 3 will be a better buy.

The Galaxy S10 is a better choice for most people

The flagship products of Samsung Galaxy S are still among the most popular Android phones, and with this year's S10, we do not expect things to change a bit.

The Galaxy S10 makes sure that the Pixel 3 of last October looks like an ancient relic. Where the Pixel 3 has large frames surrounding its screen, the Galaxy S10 has virtually no side cheeks, an extremely small chin and forehead and a front camera built into the screen itself. In addition to the aesthetic appearance, this also allows Samsung to place a larger screen in a space-saving housing.

The Galaxy S10 looks like a phone of the future.

When returning the S10, you will find its three rear cameras. There is a 12 MP main sensor with an aperture that you can manually change to allow better shots in low light, a 12 MP telephoto camera that activates the 2X optical zoom and a third ultra-wide 16 MP. This opens up many possibilities for the types of photos you can take, especially compared to the unique rear camera of the Pixel 3.

Samsung also benefits from many other ways. It features a newer and faster processor, double the RAM of the Pixel 3, more basic storage, expandable storage, Dolby Atmos support for better sound quality, and more. a 3.5mm headphone jack.

But Pixel 3 is always superior in two important respects

Do not count for the moment the Pixel 3, however. Compared to the Galaxy S10, it has two major advantages: photo quality and software.

The S10 may have more rear cameras, but the Pixel 3's only 12.2MP camera still takes better pictures. The processing of Google images and the magic of AI make it virtually impossible to take a bad picture with the phone. The images are crisp, the colors extremely accurate and, thanks to the Google Sight Night feature, the Pixel 3 dominates the S10 when it comes to using the camera in conditions of low lighting.

When we say that Pixel 3 has the best camera of a smartphone, we think so.

The other great strength of Pixel 3 is its software experience. Since it's been manufactured by Google, Pixel 3 is the first in line for bulky software updates and monthly security patches at the exit. Google has confirmed that it will continue to update Pixel 3 until 2021. Although Samsung has improved with the software update of its software updates, you will still use the latest software first and foremost. the world if you have a Pixel phone.

On top of that, the Pixel 3's user interface is much cleaner and less cluttered than the S10's. Similarly, it is less likely that Samsung's software tends to work overtime.

Finally, although the screen, the processor and the battery of the Pixel 3 may not be as impressive as those of the Galaxy S10, they are still all excellent and should not disappoint anyone.

So, which one should you buy?

Although you can not go wrong with any of these phones, each will serve a different group of people more effectively.

If you want a phone with the best screen you can buy, enjoy expandable storage and a headphone jack, look for the functionality offered by three rear cameras and / or like the idea of ​​hiding your fingerprint sensor under the screen , the Galaxy S10 will be a perfect fit.

Otherwise, if you just want to buy the best smartphone camera and make sure you always use the latest version of Android, the Pixel 3 is best.
