Google Pixel 10 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra

Our Verdict: Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and Google Pixel 10 Pro suit different priorities. The Samsung is stronger for display quality, helped by a larger 6.8-inch screen, its Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X panel, and a higher-resolution 200MP rear camera, while the Pixel is better suited to its LTPO OLED panel, a higher-resolution 42MP front camera, and a lighter 207g body. Choose the Samsung for display quality; choose the Pixel if portability matters more.

The Pixel 10 Pro is the cheaper one to own: around £687 over a typical contract, £153 less than the S25 Ultra.
