Identical specs don’t help you choose, so “Differences only” hides them.
| Spec | Pixel 10 | Galaxy S25 | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weight | 204 g | 162 gLighter | Galaxy S25 · 42 g lighter (26%) |
Why this matters. Weight affects one‑handed comfort and pocketability. A few grams rarely matter; 20 g or more is usually noticeable. | |||
| Thickness | 8.6 mm | 7.2 mm | Pixel 10 · 1.4 mm thicker (19%) |
| Height | 152.8 mm | 146.9 mm | Pixel 10 · 5.9 mm taller (4%) |
| Width | 72 mm | 70.5 mm | Pixel 10 · 1.5 mm wider |
| Water & dust rating | IP68 | IP68 | Same |
Why this matters. IP68: the first digit (6) is dust‑tight, the second (8) is rated for continuous immersion under conditions set by the manufacturer. | |||

| Spec | Pixel 10 | Galaxy S25 | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Screen size | 6.3″ | 6.2″ | Pixel 10 · 0.1″ larger |
| Panel | OLED | OLED | Same |
| Resolution | 1080 × 2424 | 1080 × 2340 | Different |
| Pixel density | 422 ppi | 416 ppi | Pixel 10 · 6 ppi denser |
Why this matters. Above roughly 400 ppi at phone viewing distance, most people struggle to see individual pixels. | |||
| Refresh rate | 120 Hz | 120 Hz | Same |
Why this matters. Higher refresh rates can make scrolling and motion look smoother, particularly in games and fast‑moving interfaces. Most phones vary the rate to save power. | |||
| Brightness (typical) | 2,000 nits | 2,600 nits | Galaxy S25 · 600 nits brighter (30%) |
Why this matters. Manufacturers measure brightness differently (typical, HDR peak, outdoor boost). Compare like‑for‑like figures only. | |||

| Spec | Pixel 10 | Galaxy S25 | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chipset | Google Tensor G5 | Snapdragon 8 Elite | Different |
| RAM | 12 GB | 12 GB | Same |
Why this matters. More RAM lets more apps stay open in the background. Beyond 8–12 GB the everyday difference is small. | |||
| Storage (max listed) | 256 GB | 512 GBMore | Galaxy S25 · 256 GB more (100%) |
Why this matters. DuelVS lists one storage figure per model, usually the largest configuration. Check the variant you would actually buy. | |||
| Geekbench 6 single‑core | 2,267 | 3,175 | Galaxy S25 · 908 higher (40%) |
Data note. Benchmark figures come from mixed sources and test versions. Treat small gaps as noise. | |||
| Geekbench 6 multi‑core | 5,712 | 10,050 | Galaxy S25 · 4,338 higher (76%) |
Data note. Benchmark figures come from mixed sources and test versions. Treat small gaps as noise. | |||

| Spec | Pixel 10 | Galaxy S25 | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rear cameras | 48 + 10.8 + 13 MP | 50 + 12 + 10 MP | Different |
Why this matters. Megapixels describe resolution, not image quality. Sensor size, lens and processing usually matter more. | |||
| Front camera | 10.5 MP | 12 MP | Galaxy S25 · 1.5 MP higher‑res (14%) |
| Max video | 4K · 60 fps | 8K · 30 fps | Different |

|---|---|---|---|
| Battery capacity | 4,970 mAhMore | 4,000 mAh | Pixel 10 · 970 mAh more (24%) |
Why this matters. Capacity is the size of the tank, not the mileage. Chip efficiency and screen settings decide real battery life. | |||
| Wired charging (rated) | 30 WHigher | 25 W | Pixel 10 · 5 W higher (20%) |
| Wireless charging (rated) | 15 W | 15 W | Same |

| Spec | Pixel 10 | Galaxy S25 | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wi‑Fi (newest supported) | Wi‑Fi 6E | Wi‑Fi 7 | Newer standard: Galaxy S25 |
Why this matters. Wi‑Fi 7 can be faster and steadier on a Wi‑Fi 7 router. On older routers the difference disappears. | |||
| Bluetooth | 6.0 | 5.4 | Different |
| USB‑C data | USB 3.2 | USB 3.2 | Same |
Why this matters. USB 2 transfers files much more slowly than USB 3.x over a cable. Charging is unaffected. | |||

How this comparison works
Every product in a category uses the same fields and units. Rows highlight a difference. A direction label such as “Lighter” or “More” appears only on fields where DuelVS’s methodology defines which way is generally preferable. Nothing here declares an overall winner.
