Comparing Google's Pixel 6 flagship phone vs Samsung's Galaxy S21 5G to see which smartphone boasts the best camera tech, gaming performance, battery life & specs. These are two of my favourite Android mobiles for photo smarts, with a compact (ish) design and strong privacy/security features. But is the £599 Pixel 6 your best option, or should you spend more on the Samsung S21?

That camera tech is generally reliable no matter your choice. While the Galaxy S21 excels for video and boasts loads of bonus modes, that Google smarptone can capture more realistic images in testing conditions. Check out my photo/video comparison for a closer look at how they stack up.

Gamers will get more grunt from the Samsung S21, although the Pixel 6 can handle everyday shenanigans just fine with that Tensor chipset. You've got strong software support and security tools with both blowers, with Android 12 already present on the Google.

So which phone are you tempted by? My full review of both handsets can be watched right here, right now!
