With its new best-in-class anti-reflective display with 2600 nits of brightness, the S24 Ultra is a joy to look at and use all day long. Meanwhile, the Google Pixel 8 Pro specs bring a 6.7-inch OLED QHD with 1344 x 2992 pixels and a peak brightness of 2400 nits. With a smoother movements and animations, strong color accuracy and vibrance, and excellent performance outdoors in full sunlight, the Samsung phone takes advantage.
While the Samsung phone runs One UI 6.1 based on Android 14, the Google device works on Android 14. On-device AI processing is part of the package on all three processors. However, they handle it a bit differently. Google has a neural engine capable of natively running large language models like Gemini Nano. In contrast, Qualcomm and Samsung have their own AI engines that can perform local AI operations such as text-to-image generation and language translation.

The Samsung phone wins again as its Qualcomm chipset is comfortably ahead of the Tensor G3 chip, especially in graphics prowess, throttling, and efficiency.
