Google Pixel 3 XL vs Galaxy S9+: Which One to Buy?

Galaxy S9+ vs Pixel 3 XL: Design

These are two big phones that are almost all screen on the front, but everything else is different. That's the only similarity between the two.

The differences are the location of the fingerprint scanner, the curved screen, Samsung's dual cameras and the overall style. Google is using a single rear camera again, but that doesn't mean the dual Galaxy S9 is better.

Another thing to keep in mind is both phones have an IP68 dust and water-resistant rating, and they both have wireless charging too. Yes, Google finally added wireless charging, we're just not sure how fast it is. Samsung's Fast Wireless Charging with 10w is faster than most on the market. Aside from some of those visual differences (and the curved display), the only other big difference is the notch in the screen, dual cameras, software and battery life. 

And yes, we know software is a BIGGIE for some buyers.
