Google Pixel 10 vs Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus
Our Verdict: There's more battery in the Google Pixel 10, 4970mAh to 4500mAh, which should mean longer between charges in day-to-day use, and the Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus has the bigger screen at 6.6" against 6.3", while the Pixel 10 has the sharper one at 421 PPI. The S22+ 5G is the lighter phone at 195g against 204g. For most people the S22+ 5G does the job for less, and the Pixel 10 isn't worth the premium here.
If you'd rather pay up front, the S22+ 5G is the cheaper buy at £185 SIM-free.
