Google Pixel 9 Vs Samsung Galaxy S24: Comparison Of Specs, Camera, Display, More (2024)

With the launch of the Google Pixel 9, the flagship smartphone segment has a brand new contender. The Pixel 9 offers top-tier features without the premium price tags of their "Pro" counterparts. Google has consistently delivered exceptional performance with its base Pixel models, and the Pixel 9 appears to continue this tradition. Top-tier features of the Pixel 9 include an advanced Tensor G4 processor and cutting-edge AI capabilities. This strategy has served Google well in the past, providing users with a taste of high-end technology at a "more accessible" price point. However, Samsung's Galaxy S24, which was launched a couple of months ago, is not to be underestimated. The South Korean tech behemoth has a history of packing its base models with impressive specs, often blurring the lines between mid-range and premium offerings. The Galaxy S24 poses formidable challenge to Google's base contender, the Pixel 9. Both the smartphones were launched at a starting price of Rs 79,999, but the Galaxy S24 is available at a lower cost, owing to offers and price cuts.

My comparison of the Pixel 9 vs Galaxy S24 will help you decide which cutting-edge device is right for you. In this article, there's in-depth comparison of features like battery, processing power, display and other key specs to see how these two capable smartphones stack up. Whether you're an Android enthusiast or simply searching for your next flagship upgrade, this detailed comparison of specs and features will give you all the insights you need to make an buy.

Google Pixel 9 Vs Samsung Galaxy S24: Display And Design

The Google Pixel 9 features a 6.3-inch OLED display with a 1080 x 2400 resolution and 2700 nits of peak brightness, offering vibrant colours, which are a standard for Google's flagship series and great for outdoor use. Its compact size makes it easier to handle compared to the bigger devices. The Samsung Galaxy S24 boasts an even smaller 6.2-inch Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X display with 120Hz, HDR10+ 2600 nits of peak brightness, for smoother animations and an immersive viewing experience. The Galaxy S24’s screen also supports higher brightness levels, making it very suitable for outdoor use.

In terms of design, both phones offer premium builds with Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the front and back. However, at 167 grams, the Galaxy S24 is lighter than the Pixel 9 that weighs 198 grams. Both devices are IP68-rated for water and dust resistance, ensuring durability under various conditions.

Google Pixel 9 Vs Samsung Galaxy S24: Performance And Software

Under the hood, the Pixel 9 is powered by Google’s in-house Tensor G4 chip, built on 4nm, and which focuses on AI and machine learning tasks. It’s slightly less powerful than Samung's own Exynos 2400 chip found in the Galaxy S24 in raw performance benchmarks. The Tensor G4 is good for a smooth, optimised experience for everyday use, especially in tasks like photography and voice recognition. The Galaxy S24, on the other hand, is a performance beast, with the Exynos 2400 offering superior processing power, particularly in gaming and multitasking scenarios.

Both devices come with Android 14 out of the box, but the Pixel 9 offers a pure Android experience with faster updates directly from Google. Samsung’s One UI 6, based on Android 14 is also feature-rich, and includes additional customisation options and software enhancements. Both Google and Samsung promise at least seven years of software updates.

Google Pixel 9 Vs Samsung Galaxy S24: Camera

Camera performance is where these two phones diverge significantly: Google Pixel 9 continues the company's tradition of computational photography with a 50MP main sensor and a 48MP ultra-wide lens, for stunning photos, especially in low light. The Galaxy S24, on the other hand, adds a 10MP telephoto lens to its 50MP main sensor and 12MP ultra-wide camera, making it more versatile for different shooting scenarios. Additionally, the Galaxy S24 supports 8K video recording, whereas the Pixel 9 maxes out at 4K.

Google Pixel 9 Vs Samsung Galaxy S24: Battery Life And Charging

Battery life is another critical area of comparison. The new Google Pixel 9 is equipped with a 4,700mAh battery, supporting 27W wired and 15W wireless charging. This is slightly more than the Galaxy S24, which houses a 4,000mAh battery with 25W wired charging. The S24 lasts a full day with moderate use, and I am yet to test the Pixel 9 properly. It may might offer a slight edge in battery life due to its larger battery capacity and more efficient power management.

Google Pixel 9 Vs Samsung Galaxy S24: Verdict

Choosing between the Google Pixel 9 and the Samsung Galaxy S24 largely depends on user preference. However, it is pertinent to note that Google Pixel 9 is ideal for those who value software optimisation, regular updates and a top-notch camera experience. In contrast, the Galaxy S24 is great for users who prioritise raw performance, display quality, and a more versatile camera setup.
