The main sensor now captures 50% more light than the Pixel 5, and the front camera has a 94-degree angle for fitting more subjects into your shot. The Pixel 6 Pro packs a 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide shooter, 48MP telephoto lens with 4x optical zoom and an 11MP front-facing camera. There's also a 40MP front camera on the Galaxy S22 Ultra. A Super Clear Glass lens promises to capture night time videos with flare. Samsung touts an AI Stereo Depth map feature for better looking portraits. The main wide camera now uses a larger 2.4-micron sensor than the Galaxy S21 Ultra, letting in more light than before. The Galaxy S22 Ultra features a 108MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide shooter and a pair of 10MP telephoto lenses, one with a 3x optical telephoto zoom and the other featuring a 10x optical zoom. Both phones are IP68 water and dust resistant. The Galaxy S22 Ultra features an Armor Aluminum frame and a Gorilla Glass Victus Plus back for durability, The Pixel 6 Plus is pretty tough, too, with a Gorilla Glass Victus display and polished aluminum frame.

The Galaxy S22 Ultra comes in Black, White, Green and Burgundy, with more color options through. There's three color options with Stormy Black, Cloudy White and Sorta Sunny. Then again, the Pixel 6 Pro has more of a personality with its two-tone design and prominent camera bar that goes across the top third of the phone. I also prefer the matte finish of the S22 Ultra to the shinier glass back of the Pixel 6 Pro, as the latter picks up fingerprints more quickly. In terms of design, the Galaxy S22 Ultra is the sleeker and more minimalist of the two handsets with a camera array that's nearly flush with the back of the handset. The Pixel 6 Pro is also lighter at 7.4 ounces. The Google Pixel 6 Pro is slightly taller and thicker but not nearly as wide at 6.5 x 3.0 x 0.4 inches it's harder to use the Galaxy S22 Ultra with one hand. The Galaxy S22 Ultra is a beast of a phone with its 6.8-inch display, measuring 6.43 x 3.07 x 0.37 inches and weighing 8.07 ounces.
