No strong opinions. But some points to consider - Chip - Samsung S24 Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 performs better on the benchmarks. Shouldn't matter for day-to-day use. AI - I have heard that the AI baked into the S24 series apps is a better implementation than in the Pixel 9s. Also, all the Google Gemini AI things can be done through the Gemini app, which can be installed on any phone. The Android Skin - Samsung's One UI vs Google's Pixel are very subjective, it is android so you can make things look any way you want really. But One UI does support some extra customization features for the power users. Photos - Again, this is subjective. Its worth watching some reviews and looking at the photos side-by-side. The camera processing and color-science differs between all manufacturers. Fun extras - Google's camera features are limited to the Pixel line, for example the newly introduced "Add me" feature. S24 Ultra comes with the S Pen

S24 Ultra seems more of a "I can have fun with this phone" phone to me. I think I value that.

Ah well, you have two very extreme flavours of flagship Android there. The Galaxy S24 Ultra is hands down the better phone by some distance - better chip, comparable cameras, that Stylus and a stunning display. What the Pixel 9 Pro XL has is Google's smarts in the form of AI features, which work brilliantly on the bigger display (the Pixel 9 is too small in comparison). Does the Pixel 9 Pro XL also have better cameras? Perhaps, but it is kind of difficult to tell. The Pixel 9 Pro XL is really for those in love with Android, the S24 Ultra is more of a smartphone.

I have been using S24 ultra for few months now, here what I felt: I like the performance and all but there android skin is just too weird by weird i mean bad... Before that i have used every pixel device and honestly no app ever lagged or had optimising problems. the edges of the phone starts hurting you palm if you dont use any sort of covers(I have never used any covers).

on the other hand I not using the Pixel 9 PRo XL but I am using the 9 Pro which i really liked, the performance on this device better than previous versions of pixel thou camera processing does take few more extra secs after you click any picture but the colours and the app optimisation is way better than samsung i felt.

Another tiny thing about the Pixels - they are legendary for bad network connectivity, And this in turn hits battery life.
