Each to their own I think the pixel camera looks far better
I agree. But then again... if Samsung has made a significant impact in camera processing over the Pixel, well... how the camera module looks is irrelevant. I actually like how they did the S21 camera module... I hate it when Samsung tries to find a different design language.

Keep the S21 module.. just improve on the camera tech. It's one of those things where I wish they take a page out of Apple's book. There's no design difference between the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro, Samsung could of done the same with the S22.

Yeah.. I knew what you meant. I replaced the word with module over layout. Do you still have your S21 Ultra or you on the verge of replacing it with the Pixel 6 Pro?

Yeah I sold it this week mate to try and get more value before the pixel 6 pro is out. I would love to rock a 13 pro max, s21 ultra and pixel 6 pro but can’t do it lol

Think it’s the one year where Google hardware is good enough to try and be my android phone of choice. Doesn’t take away though that s21 ultra is a great phone for sure though

iPhone 13 and perhaps Pixel was kind of lukewarm this year and S21 still looks attractive for a fallback.

I think next year is when we shall all go back to iPhone.

Wait a min… what happen to the Pixel? Are you juggling both the Pixel and S21U?

I‘m definitely not going back to the iPhone… SoundAssistant, Multitasking and everything that comes with Android. From a hardware perspective… the iPhone is superb. I actually had a chance to set up a iPhone 13 Pro Max a few days ago… a friend of mine needed help backing up his old iPhone to the new one.

It certainly felt premium… but when navigating iOS, it felt the same. No shade to those who prefer iOS over Android… I have turned that page, I highly doubt I’ll ever go back.

i think next years iPhone iteration will be significant to warrant my attention once again. thats where my reasoning is anchored

I expect we see a bigger jump for iPhone next year with more MP and new design. That said I think I will always want an android flagship option.the way I have made the home screen simply can't be done on the iPhone

Yeah I've got the pixel 6 Pro and s21 ultra and review it over next few weeks what to do.i have to admit I do prefer oneUI and the features are superior to the pixel imo. So think its likely I return the pixel. Think I just love Samsung devices as my android option

What about camera of the ultra compared to the Pixel? I've got an S21 Ultra too (dual wield with iPhone as my main phone). The temptation to go with Pixel is due to the photos being great. Is the ultra as good, better or worse than the Pixel when it comes to photos?

So far I do feel the s21 ultra is better. Not in every situation but feel it’s more consistent overall and has more modes and options. 10x optical is such a great feature.

That said pixel camera should only improve with updates though. I would say the ultra has better night mode. For point and shoot though pixel still nails it in most situations

I would say I wouldn’t upgrade to the pixel just for the camera as there isn’t much of a difference in most situations
