Sorry, Samsung, but I’ve always been a fan of Pixel. Although I have praised a Galaxy device here and there and since I brought the Galaxy S10 to the end of college, there is a soft spot for Samsung’s hardware, I have always been happy with the Google device in my pocket.
For a while, I was not sure why I felt so intensely about Google’s experience about Samsung, but after some recent updates, I came to a simple fact: Google’s pixel software is much better than an UI, and why.

Someday Give Me Google Camera App
It’s no secret that I like Google’s view for image processing. If we have written about it once, we have done it a hundred times. I have hired it in pixel studies at all pricing locations, and ever since I upgraded Pixel 5, it has been a consistency through the line. Although I got in the door, the fact was that I never had to think about the use of a Google camera app.
The Pixel Camera app has been a fire and a capable way to capture my life as long as I remember. Yes, long -term manual controls were added along the way, but they never felt so important for the overall experience like Samsung’s control. Look, even though I will slip with manual settings on my dear fuel -mirror -laying cameras as long as I get things fine, I will pull a sharp picture with my phone and put it back in my pocket. I deliberately see the powers without my mirror, while my phone plays a daily role.
When this is my goal, Google’s Pixel software defeats a Samsung UI any day. Google’s point of view for everything from panoramas to movement is more straightforward, and I know that the image I open in the photo was probably in my mind. On the other hand, Samsung, when I don’t want, increases blurring in motion, and its approach to its estrow photography I have to set the timer and hope for the best, which is not my fortress. I respect that Samsung probably offers a better experience for photographers who want granular control over their shots, but this is usually not me.
Thanks, I just need one of everything

In most things about Google’s Pixel UI, you will see a joint theme that is more than a UI Google Pixel UI: more than simplicity. Although smartphones are my day job, I still want to keep some of my conversations with them fast and efficient, and it’s easy to do when I have only every kind of app. This means an email client, a cloud storage platform, and an internet browser. Unfortunately, Samsung doesn’t just roll like this.
Whenever I set up a new Galaxy phone, I have to stop and examine how much blotware shows through default. I have to find a sharp way to push Microsoft apps on the side, throw extra, such as Facebook, and make sure that my photos return to Google Photo instead of Samsung’s own gallery. Usually it doesn’t take long for me to get things the way I like them, but it’s more than a new pixel setting.

I will extend this simplicity to my pixel interface, especially to other parts of the app. I have once felt easy to swipe and know that everything I installed is alphabet, which is very easy in Google’s standard interface. Yes, you can eventually turn the app from horizontally to your Galaxy device, but it took Samsung a lot of time to choose the item that I think is an essential feature.
Menu that do not rotate my head
I have to give Samsung some credit for almost its endless customization options. I love that I can turn my Galaxy Launcher into a clean and easier thing like a lawnchair, which, surprisingly, looks like Google’s Pixel UI. Whenever I get tired of the default shape, I also enjoy the new icon packs. However, it usually jumps in one or two hips to reach this place for me.
In some ways, Google’s Pixel UI is largely closed, and I have no objection to acknowledging it. I know that I can’t load anything like a DIY house to keep apps, widgets, and random geometric shapes wherever I want, but I do not have personal patience at this level. I always tap the clock on my display and replace the lock screen shortcut too much in a set of Men Menos, even more than thinking about downloading good lock or worrying about how my apps will show a foldable phone’s cover screen.
Perhaps the best example of a UI is the best example of making my head a spin when Samsung divided his notification shadow with his quick settings panel. I chose to separate them before I was doing, just to do the right option to unite them in just half an hour – if you were curious, this is a pencil icon in the quick settings menu.
Google’s pixel emissions are perfectly fit in my lifestyle

Although I know that some Android fans prefer Samsung’s careful additional extra extras, I’ve spent a lot of time with Google’s pixel costs that I am not sure how I can change. I still play as many times as I first activated it on my Pixel 5, and I can’t even tell you how many spam calls I have been saved with the help of a call screen. It’s so good that Apple is also out to copy Google style, which is saying.
Apps like Pixel Weather and Pixel Studio are also better for my needs. I usually do not like to make pictures of AI from my friends, so I’m happy to add text indicators and change the art style until Google gives me anything that I am happy with. And yes, I know that Samsung’s drawing Assist has now set a long distance to allow you to enter the indicator and maintain your original background elements, but it still feels more limited to my choice.
Although I haven’t shining the recent additions like a pixel screenshots, I like where Google’s head is. I like the option of setting up my screenshots in an easily searching collection as I can do with nothing, but I also trust the setup inside Google Photo because I “take 30 screenshots” boys more than “Open 30 tabs” boy.
Samsung’s briefing and now a two cartoon of the bar is fine, but I use more than each other. I repeatedly appreciate the status of sports updates, media controls, and now in my routine, which Google has included directly to Android 16 as a directive, but I can’t say that I do more than once a day, which is not enough for an existing home screen widget forever.
Pixel update has never missed a bad taste in my mouth

It doesn’t matter what Samsung does with a UI, I think Google always has the advantage of frequent refreshing. As the creator of Android, it is easy for Google to improve your pixel lineup, which means that new versions like Android 15 and Android 16 may be ahead of (or months) beyond Samsung. And, if you still have doubts about it, do not see more than the mess that was an UI 7.
If you remember, Samsung started his Android 15 rollout very fast. Certainly, a few months behind Google, but it seemed as if it was rising fast. Then, it stopped. The insects began to appear, the battery life began to tank, and consumers started complaining. Therefore, Samsung went back to the drawing board to find out what could go wrong. The rollout resumed after a decent delay, but it felt as if most damaged. My colleague who wrote that he is not sure he can easily recommend a Samsung phone after stumbling, and I agree with it.
One of the benefits that Google will always have is faster refreshing.
These days, I would say that Samsung has fixed the refreshment of his poor UI 7, but it has happened to draw his attention to an UI 8 for everyone. I am eagerly waiting to see how this stable update handles (we’re just in the other government son), and only hope for the best. But, even if all is well, I have to imagine that I will be sticking to Pixel 9 Pro, which is already in my pocket… and is already running Android 16.
