Kerry Wan reflects on his long-time loyalty to Google Pixel devices but feels tempted to switch to Samsung's Galaxy S25 Ultra due to superior features and innovation. Despite similar specs between the Pixel 9 Pro and the S25 Ultra, Samsung has been first to leverage Google's Gemini technology and enhance software capabilities, diminishing Pixel's once-dominant position in the market. Wan suspects performance issues with the Pixel 8 Pro, indicating a troubling trend for Google as Samsung leads in advancements.
For the first time, I'm awfully tempted to leave the Google ecosystem due to Samsung's compelling advancements in phone features and capabilities.
Despite the fact that Gemini is a Google product, Gemini-enhanced features consistently show up on Samsung products first, highlighting a significant shift in innovation.
If innovation, especially on the software front, is what you'd like to experience, Samsung has the edge over Google at this point in time.
While I can't say that I ever do anything too intensive on my current Pixel 8 Pro, there are times that I notice a slowdown.
