Google Pixel 10 Pro XL vs Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge

It backs that up with 50MP rear and 42MP front cameras, 5200mAh battery and 256GB-1000GB storage options, while the Galaxy S25 Edge counters with 200MP rear and 12MP front cameras and 163g weight. Current active deals start around £560 for the Galaxy S25 Edge, versus about £675 for the Pixel 10 Pro XL. The Pixel 10 Pro XL is the better fit for a higher-resolution front camera and the larger battery, while the Galaxy S25 Edge is easier to justify when your priorities lean toward lower current deal pricing and a higher-resolution rear camera.

Over a full contract, the S25 Edge works out around £708 all-in, about £122 less than the Pixel 10 Pro XL.
