What an excellent presentation. It moves well between the technical aspects to user experience. The side-by-side comparison is such a useful way to convey the calibration of features. Consumers will be comparing phones before purchase, and seeing the relative strengths and weaknesses is very helpful.

The best thing I like about the pixel 6 is the caller ID , it answers the calls for you , with a dictated message, the spam callers usually hangup . Also the camera s , they take great photos, The pixel 6 is a winner 🏆 , good 👍 review too.

I had the pixel 4a 5g and the pixel 6. The 6 was just as buggy as the 4a. I had error messages within a few days and the update didn’t fix it. I just bought a s21 FE a couple of days ago, and it’s not bad. It did heat up during set up, but hopefully that’s because of the number of apps that were downloading. The s21 fe price has dropped a bit online. This phone is less bulky than the pixel. That one was so big, my teen bought me a pop socket to hold it, lol.

[@ritikanand6057]

This was a highly biased comparison in favour of Pixel. The reviewer here is clearly biased towards Pixel to the extent she is misleading the audience with incorrect and incomplete specifications. She did not highlight Samsung's telephoto lens at all. And all the praises for S21 FE came with some or other caveats and ultimately points awarded to Pixel. Below are points for each comparison - 1. Despite being quite bulkier and huge camera bump design points awarded to both. Pixel also has thicker bezels. 2. In performance, S21 FE lacked stability, but was only noticeable in Genshin Impact. At the same time it provided higher FPS in all other games with similar stability. The app loading time was also bit better in S21 FE. But Pixel took all the points here🤣. 3. In software S21 FE beats Pixel. It gives 4 yrs OS + 5yrs security vs 3yrs OS + 5 yrs security of Pixel. Samsung announced it in Feb 2022. Not sure why they did not mention or add it later as an edit in the comparison🤔. 4. In cameras as I said she did not use S21 FE's telephoto lens for a "FAIRER" comparison saying Pixel is not having it🤣🤣. Well Samsung has it and it is there to be used. The better night mode and higher FPS video recordings were just mentioned but not given any weightage at all. She "LIKED" the S21 FE's photos more and it was more consistent but point given to Pixel because of "NATURAL" photos🤣🤣🤣. 5. Pixel 6 does not have LTPO display. Only Pixel 6 Pro has it. Please don't propagate false information. If you are watching and wanting to choose 1, you can go for S21 FE without any regret.

[@krishhappa8075]

Totally agree. She said s21 fe looks better in almost every segment and overall she gave it to pixel. Meaningless.

[@CrisleySena]

Great comparison!! Did you test the exynos or Snapdragon s21 fe version?

Pixel 6 has long term potential because of Tensor chip which Google will optimize in upcoming days. It won't be old due to hardware and software combination Google has provided.

[@deeplam]

Lol are you sure because google tensor is just a npu part of the processor where the processor is simply an exynos one even lower then samsung s21fe offering, even pixel with snapdragon flagship soc agter a year will show its age then how come exynos one will develop magically where samsung itself failied in year to optimize them

[@kabangaleri8040]

I don't get this obsession for google software, yes it has exclusive features but not that Samsung's OS is crap and it's built on the very same android 12 the pixel has and Samsung is also very fast in providing updates... Hadware wise, the FE beats the pixel in every aspect , except the main camera... telephoto, 120hz screen, faster processor, fingerprint sensor, small bezels, faster charging, better than the pixel in almost every aspect

[@Andrew-it7fb]

If and when they manage to optimize it and get rid of the bugs, I'll give them credit for doing so. Potential is meaningless until it is realized.

Hi GB team, i am from India, to give you an idea how the market here is that, in Amazon website of India s21 fe without offers is around $733 and pixel 6 is $817, no offer available for pixel 6, but after offers s21fe is available for $640, so pixel 6 is about $150 extra, but One drawback is that s21 fe here comes with Exynos 2100, the last fact you mentioned I disagree for the price difference

In terms of software, wasn't mentioned the bugs and recent problems with the December update on P6. In terms of photos the indoor example of ultra wide camera at 9:02, the S21 FE has a clearer pic, just check the wood in the ceiling, and overall structure. I dunno what was going on the P6 pic, to get that green tint. And P6 doesn't have a LTPO Display, only the Pro version. If the price on S21 FE was the same or a bit lower than P6, then it could compete. Maybe when S22 launches the price dips enough to be a better option over the P6.

[@ragboysinterestinglife]

This question has a Point?

[@arvaz8631]

I've same question

[@georgetteokeke6630]

Well had is not just about the number of colors, it’s color detail preservation, contrast and most importantly, brightness. A HDR display must be able to reach a thousand Nits of peak brightness to show highlights and shows in an even manner and much have a good contrast ratio. You see, 8 bit and 10 bit displays look almost indistinguishable to each other simply because the colors the 10 bit displays show are rarely visible. Also the video must be shot in 10 to take full advantage of the displays, and trust me, even then you probably still will struggle to tell the difference. Honestly all of these are mostly marketing cause 16 million colors are enough for everyone. For example, my IPS monitor can only displays 10,000 colors, but my oiled can display 16 million and to be honest,besides black levels, contrast and max brightness, I can barely see a difference.

[@5131992patrick]

I think the presenter mistook the CPU usage numbers to be FPS numbers at 5:18 time stamp. A bit skewed towards pixel's camera outputs and its performance. Pixel's portrait is way too artificial when compared with Samsung and the reviewer completely glossed over it. A review/ comparison is supposed to have both pros and cons of a device. More so, exynos 2100 is more or less the same as Tensor SOC, and also google's optimization has been way too bad making the phone a bit too laggy to recommend to anyone. On the other hand, s21 FE does have its short comings as it's the base of the SOC recipe for both phones. A bit too comparison. Didn't expect this from this channel. I think Pratima is a pixel fan girl.

How on earth could you choose the portrait and night mode on pixel over S21fe? Like are you serious? Clearly the s21fe has more details and dynamic range , plus produces brighter cleaner looking photos than pixel in night mode. Taking of portraits the pixel just blurs the background so intensely that it Maha it look like a gimmicy software thing, where as in s21fe the portraits are ever so natural to what an actual portrait on a dslr would look like. And please, no shock android can ever be rated above one ui.. one ui is the flagship experience.

It's a good comparison video. But what I think misses here is that she was just using the exinos version of the s21 fe. In terms of performance and battery life I think the Qualcomm ver. Is a bit more interesting(at least for me because they only sell this ver. in my country)
