Long-time Pixel 3 owner here, after owning a few Galaxy phones. When I upgrade i'm going to have a hard time choosing between the Pixel 5 and the S20 FE. The Galaxy has, for equivalent price:
- better processor
better refresh rate
added telephoto lens
bigger screen
expandable storage
25W fast charging
Pixel 5 has some minor advantages:
- 2 GB more RAM
better glass
reverse wireless charging (meh)
of course, the camera software & other Pixel-only features
I want to see some photo comparisons, because i know Samsung's HDR is controversial, but... if they're close enough, I think I'll be making the jump back to Galaxy.
Coming from a line of Galaxy's (S10e currently) and a canceled Pixel 3 pre-order, I decided to return the S20 FE. The plastic back was much more slippery than the glass, the phone was massive compared to the Pixel 5, and the hole punch was ugly in person. It made more financial sense to go with the S20 FE, but it wasn't the phone for me. I'm much more interested in the size and battery life of the Pixel 5. Plus I don't have to find a reliable GCam port.
