Google Pixel 11 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge

Our Verdict: Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge and Google Pixel 11 Pro suit different priorities. The Samsung is stronger for portability, helped by a larger 6.7-inch screen, its Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel, and a higher-resolution 200MP rear camera, while the Pixel is better suited to its LTPO OLED panel, a larger 4,850 mAh battery, and 256GB to 1000GB storage. A bigger mAh figure is useful context, but real battery life still depends on software and chipset efficiency. Choose the Samsung for portability; choose the Pixel if display quality matters more.

Over a full contract, the S25 Edge works out around £648 all-in, about £300 less than the Pixel 11 Pro.
