Switching from Pixel 2 XL, should I go for Pixel 9 Pro XL or Samsung S24 Ultra?
I have been using Pixel 2 XL for 7+ years now. I couldn't switch all these years because all new models had some or the other major issue. You can say I am a Pixel fan. iPhones have great hardware but their software is a nightmare. On the contrary, Samsung S24 has so many features but I am not sure about its bloatware. Other brands like OnePlus, Find X or Vivo X200 phones are not exciting apart from a few features especially because of OS. I have A series and M series phones at home, and they are full of bloatware (Samsung apps to be begin with) and hidden tricks e.g. Receiving notification from Galaxy Store for Ironside permission. Rejected it thrice but it keeps popping up every day. I finally had to accept it and it downloaded 3 apps on Samsung M34 mobile. I am fine with disabling apps but if they keep popping up after updates or swipe from bottom and you see Samsung Pay over there, that's a problem for me. Because settings to disable them is too deep somewhere. However, Online reviews on Reddit and YouTube are in favour of Samsung S24 Ultra. Pixel 9 Pro XL - (+) Clean software, no bloatware (+) Exciting exterior body design (-) No extra features in OS like Samsung (-) AI features like Call Screen don't work in India (-) Tensor chip not as powerful as Snapdragon (-) Price is too high currently Samsung S24 Ultra - (+) Exciting features in OS, Good Lock app (+) Display is box shaped, nice for videos (+) S Pen is useful add-on (+) Dex or Link to Windows for more integration (-) Dull exterior design, bulky and heavier (-) Bloatware from Samsung apps? (-) AI features will be subscription based?5
