Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Vs Google Pixel 9 Pro XL: Which Android Phone Wins In 2025?

Picking your next premium Android phone? Two big names are currently the talk of the town—Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and Google Pixel 9 Pro XL. Both have powerful features and sleek designs. However, if you’re curious about which one is most suitable for you, here’s a quick comparison of both.

A 6.9-inch AMOLED display with sharp details and super smooth scrolling with a 120Hz refresh rate is what Samsung provides. It also boasts 2600 nits peak brightness. The Pixel 9 Pro XL offers a slightly smaller, 6.8-inch OLED screen but tops Samsung on brightness, reaching 3000 nits. Both look great, but Pixel’s brightness might help you look better when outdoors.

Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite, the Galaxy S25 Ultra has up to 16GB RAM and 1TB of storage. Google’s Tensor G4 powers the Pixel 9 Pro XL and comes with up to 16GB RAM. Both run Android 15, but the Pixel has additional Google-exclusive features.

Samsung brings along with it 200MP main camera, lenses for ultra-wide shots and zoom. Pixel, meanwhile, keeps things clean with a 50MP main lens and two 48MP extras. Google’s smart software often wins in photography despite Samsung having more megapixels.

At 45W fast charging, Samsung equips the device with a 5000mAh battery. The Pixel also has a battery of 5060mAh with 37W charging. 

While Samsung starts at Rs. 1,23,999 on Flipkart, Pixel is priced at Rs. 1,29,999.

In the end, both are top tier. But it all boils down to which experience you like more: Samsung’s smooth One UI or Google’s pure Android experience.
