Pixel 9 Pro XL vs Samsung S24 Ultra | Super confused

[honest1]

Guys, super confused between the two

What I love in S24 Ultra:
- Many usable features which are missing in Pixel
- Availbility of service centres
- Fast processor (I am not into gaming)

What I dont like:
- Fluidity in overall UI is not there as compared to Pixel
- very common phone
- S-pen is not useful for my use case
- Too many gimmiky features


What I love in Pixel series:
- Super fluid UI and great day to day experience
- Impeccable camera (I know, whatever I will shoot, the photos will turn out to be good only)
- stand out amongst the crowd

What I dont love in Pixel series:
- High prices (but there is an option to get it from US, sacrificing the warranty )
- hard to get it repaired
- very less features

What are your thoughts?
Any quirks I should know about? Help me (any many others) to make the right choice!

TIA !

You're Forced to Upgrade, AREN'T YOU??​

Is Samsung Deliberately Reducing Performance with Software Updates?​

Yes I can confirm. The battery of my S10+ suddenly declined sharply after an update a year ago. Remember the decline was not a gradual process. It was instant after the update. I think they are forcing the software to somehow screw with the battery.
Like everyone else I updated only because it said it was a security patch.
I spent months searching about this information on the net and I didn't find any reliable answer from Samsung/support.
Hallelujah for this reddit post.
