The Samsung Galaxy S25 and the Google Pixel 9 Pro are two of the best compact Android phones on the market, but which is the one for you?

The last Samsung phone I owned was the Galaxy S3 more than a decade ago. Ever since, I've been fully invested in what we often think of as "stock Android." But with the launch of the Galaxy S25, I'm ready to give up my Pixel and switch back.

An update to Google Gemini has brought the Talk Live feature introduced on the Galaxy S25 to the Pixel 9 series and Galaxy S24 series, with a rollout for more models planned.
