Are you going to Order the Pixel 5?

[TheDonJ77]

Yeah that's a lot of the similar reports I've been reading / watching on YouTube reviews. The note 20 another Galaxy phones cameras they're impressive hardware but they can't back it up with the software. Basically, the camera takes pretty good pictures but not outstanding pictures unfortunately.

The software on the Pixel line is just unmatched IMO. To me less is more. Cameras and pictures are stellar

 

[TheDonJ77]

so, basically, you buy it at Galaxy device upwards of $1,200, and get mediocre/pretty good pictures out of it! What a freaking deal Samsung!

Lol, to some Samsung takes better pics than other phones but when I compared to my P4XL, there was no comparison

And, of course, I completely agree. Lessons more most of time in my opinion as well. Software beats out hardware most of the time, and that's why I love pixels like everyone else in this forum!

Oh yes completely agree. I mean the beauty is in the eye of the older, and teach their own so to speak but you can't match pixels camera taking ability!

I tried the note 20U and sent it back due to inferior camera and software compared to the pixel 4XL. I just don't like Samsung's software UI with all the colors and such, not for me.

The Note 20 Ultra takes pictures you could never get with the Pixels. Pixels are great at certain photos but not everything and every situation. That's one of the main reasons I stopped buying them.

If you spend some time looking through photos in the Note 20 picture thread you come away with a different opinion.

Haha this is why I say teach their own. I mean Galaxy phones do take good pictures, but in my opinion, nothing beats the pixel camera and the pixel software and algorithms , and image processing...

Like what you like but software has its limitations.

Oh, my friend, hell yes! I couldn't be more. And for the people on this forum that think I never had a Samsung Android phone before I have. Maybe not with one UI and it was with TouchWiz, but nonetheless a lack of software updates just poison your thinking about Samsung unfortunately. I know that Samsung just released their news of promising 3 years of software updates AKA like Google phones, but this was just a recent occurrence. I still love pixels For The Win!

One UI is most definitely a different animal than those TouchWiz days... Lol
Updates I don't get so excited about but Sammy has been keeping up lately..

Man that's why I love to have choices.. Love the options with Goodlock and other apps to customize the phone..and One UI... I don't find Samsung inferior anywhere.. Yes Pixel has great software computation for camera most definitely top notch.. I'm a Pixel fan for sure... Too

Agreed! Choice is why I will always choose Android over iOS. Don't get me wrong, Samsung makes beautiful devices, hardware is top notch. I may give them a try again one day but for now, Pixels have me, lol

hey, that's what I've heard. One UI versus TouchWiz is so much clearer. I will just never buy another Samsung phone unless I have to but that's just me being me I suppose. I will always take Pixel as much as I can. Like I said, teach them. No one's haters here... we all help and respect each other out at the end of the day!

Really? I have a Pixel 2 and a Samsung Galaxy Tab A tablet. The tablet is still on Android 9 and it got that not too long ago. Last security patch was January 2020. Now if I didn't have my Pixel 2 where I get monthly security updates and OS updates pretty darn quick, I might not realize how slow Samsung is with updates.

I totally support your choice ...I'm sure you won't be disappointed

Most definitely .. I'm happy when others are excited ...we all have that go to...

oh, I completely agree with you! We all get excited about phones and help each other out here on the forums! That's what makes it so fun to follow mobile technology!

I can't speak for the tablets..I only buy Apple there ...I was referring to the phones I've owned last few years..and recent posts I've seen about the updates...

 

[sulla1965]

Yeah, because I'm sure Samsung feels challenged or threatened by Google a little bit. Even if some people don't agree with that statement it's the truth I'm sure.

I certainly disagree with that sentiment. Pixel's have basically been driven out of the "flagship" market. Yet Samsung is feels challenged buy Google??? Not a chance.

Well, you should be right, however why would they miss the s20 fan edition if not for being challenged? I mean at the end of the day, I don't care too too much and you're right they probably don't feel challenged at all by Google. So then I don't know why then lol

More like fear of Apple and oneplus, and others, rather than the Google and the Pixel line of phones.
