Have any of you used Galaxy and Pixel phones? The main thing about the Pixel that attracts me is the lack of bloatware that I deal with on my Samsung phones. Plus trying out something new sounds fun.

I've liked my Galaxy phones quite a bit and I've been apprehensive of Pixel phones because they were newer and had a bit of a reputation for being less reliable/durable. I haven't had any issues at all with my Galaxy phones in the past. It sounds like the quality of the Pixel phones has caught up and is hopefully not an issue anymore.

Anyone have thoughts or experiences to share?

I'll be waiting til black friday deals. I've been able to get amazing deals on all my Galaxy phones...if google doesn't offer big discounts on their Pixel phones this black friday, then I'll be sticking with my Galaxy phone.

For anyone else interested here's a decent side by side review of the Galaxy 24 & Pixel 9 line-ups (I still want to hear firsthand experiences though): https://www.pcmag.com/comparisons/google-pixel-9-vs-samsung-galaxy-s24-battle-of-the-android-super-phones
