Android flagship battle: Google Pixel 10 Pro XL opposed against Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, determining superiority in the top smartphone landscape.
In the world of high-end smartphones, the upcoming Google Pixel 10 Pro XL and Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra are set to make a significant impact. Both devices boast impressive specifications, each catering to a unique set of features that appeal to tech enthusiasts and casual users alike.
Design-wise, the Pixel 10 Pro XL maintains a similar design to its predecessors, featuring Gorilla Glass Victus 2 for durability. In contrast, the Galaxy S25 Ultra typically showcases a polished premium design with Gorilla Glass Victus 3 (or equivalent) and IP68 water resistance. The S25 Ultra also tends to sport curved edges and a larger, refined form factor.
The display specifications of both devices are strikingly similar. The Pixel 10 Pro XL sports a 6.8-inch LTPO OLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 3000 nits, while the Galaxy S25 Ultra boasts a 6.9-inch QHD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate and a peak brightness around the same mark.
Under the hood, the Pixel 10 Pro XL is powered by the Tensor G5, an in-house chip optimized for AI and software integration, while the Galaxy S25 Ultra is likely to be equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen or the latest Samsung Exynos (depending on the region).
In terms of memory and storage, both devices offer up to 16GB RAM and storage variants up to 1TB. However, the Pixel 10 Pro XL drops the 128GB base model.
When it comes to cameras, the Pixel 10 Pro XL favours a triple rear setup consisting of a 50MP primary, 48MP ultra-wide, and 48MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom, supporting macro modes, and a very high-resolution 42MP selfie camera. The Galaxy S25 Ultra, on the other hand, typically pushes for a higher megapixel count on the primary sensor (around 200MP) and offers more versatile zoom (up to 10x or more optical).
Battery capacities are in a similar range, with the Pixel 10 Pro XL offering a 4,870mAh battery, and the Galaxy S25 Ultra expected to feature around a 5,000mAh battery.
The Pixel 10 Pro XL is positioned as a refinement of Google’s previous flagship, focusing on strong imaging and AI capabilities with solid hardware, while the Galaxy S25 Ultra continues Samsung’s tradition of pushing display and camera technology to flagship extremes.
The exact specifications of the Galaxy S25 Ultra may vary once officially released, as the information presented here is based on leaked Pixel 10 Pro XL specs from June-July 2025 and general expected specs for the Galaxy S25 Ultra as of mid-2025.
