4 Reasons to Buy Google Pixel 6

4 Reasons to Buy a Samsung Galaxy S21

Why buy Pixel 6 instead of Galaxy S21?

1. Larger display

If someone had told us a year ago that Google would make a phone with a bigger screen than Samsung’s flagship, we would consider it crazy. But that is the reality now. The only difference is 0.2 inches, but if you put the phones side by side, you will find that the Pixel 6 is actually much larger than the Galaxy S21.

2. Better main camera

Not everyone may agree with this. But the fact is that it has Google Pixel 6 fantastic main camera with true color rendering, great portions of details and also better video. We also tested that in our photo test. However, Samsung will offer, for example, a telephoto lens, which is the domain of Google’s only more expensive Pro variants.

3. Longer software support

We have been thinking for a long time whether to add this point here at all. Google promises at least 3 major system updates and 5 years of security patches for its new phones, while we can also count on three major updates for the Galaxy S21, but it will receive security updates a year less. This point is therefore addressed especially for users who buy a phone, but they can have it for 4 or 5 yearswhere this detail can play a role.

4. Android 12 and its tweaks

Sure, the Samsung Galaxy S21 will soon get (or maybe already got, if you read this article in the future) also Android 12 with One UI 4, but some exclusive gadgets Google has kept for itself, such as the Magic Eraser tool or features A live translation that finally works in Czech. So if you want them, it’s time to go to the Google Store and think about the color variant rather than whether to buy the Galaxy S21.

Why buy Galaxy S21 instead of Pixel 6?

1. More compact dimensions

As already mentioned, the Samsung Galaxy S21 is more compact. It is almost 40 grams lighter, which you will recognize in everyday use, so it only depends on your preferences whether you prefer larger or smaller mobile phones. If you still can’t believe it, Pixel 6 is a really big piece of equipment.

2. Telephoto lens

While Google Pixel 6 only offers a main and ultra-wide sensor, the Samsung Galaxy S21 adds to the two 64Mpx telephoto lens which can be crucial for individuals who take pictures of them often and like them. However, they may not even think about the basic Pixel and look at the Pro version. We’re just suggesting that you get one extra camera from Samsung for the same price.

3. Faster fingerprint reader

If you compare the phones side by side, you will find that Samsung has a lot faster fingerprint reader. Google has already commented on the issue and said that their phone uses improved security algorithms, which in some cases can lead to slower scanning. Although there are a lot of users on the Internet who complain about this problem, the slower reader is not really a particularly serious problem, and after a few days of use you will ignore this fact. However, it is important to mention it.

4. 5G support

Google Pixel 6 supports 5G networks, but not in our country. We tried to catch him in Prague and Karlovy Vary, where he works normally on other phones and without success. Of course, you will not encounter a similar problem with the Galaxy S21, and you will be able to use fifth-generation networks normally.
