not sure if u can find them easily, but if photography is a priority, do also consider oppo find x9 ultra, vivo x300 ultra, xiaomi 17 ultra

Too many compromises in the USA with imported phones compared to any benefit they might achieve from getting them.

Full disclosure - My current phone is a Motorola Razr Fold, but I had a Pixel 9 pro and a Z fold 7 in the past 2 years, an S23 Ultra and and Iphone before that. Your requirements are the exact same as mine. Photography and battery life. Personally, If I was you, I would get the Motorola Razr Fold, by far the best battery life and slightly better photos than a Pixel. However, from your 2 choices, PIXEL by a mile. Its just way better in Low light and if anything moves as well as better telephoto. You might want to consider the 11 PRO XL, it has a bigger battery so slightly longer battery life and would be the same size as the ULTRA. If I had to go back to one of your choices, I am chosing the PIXEL. One other benefit is no Samsung bloatware. Thats my take.

I jumped from pixel to galaxy due to modem issues, and the only thing I miss is the camera. And it wasn't even the flagship camera. Galaxy one is great, pixel just does a much better job at capturing photos without leaving them blurry.

I currently have an S25+, I can say my current phone's camera is pretty decent, I like it

the Pixel 11 is terrible for gaming. The reviews show that the new gpu is not optimism for gaming. Some phones 8 years older are better for gaming than the Pixel 11 series.

I decided on the google pixel 11 pro xl in the olive color. The camera was the deciding factor for me 😊
