For me it was the camera + price combo. The Samsung cameras are probably better on the flagship phones but the prices for those phones are insane. iPhone price is obviously even worse and I really don't like the camera and how iPhone applies edits automatically, even to the RAW files.

I do a lot of photography and the Pixel 6 Pro with the wide angle lens plus dedicated Telephoto 4x zoom lens covers like 90% of my needs. Other than true long exposure, super low light night shots, macro, and astrophotography, my Pixel 6 is great.

None of the Samsung cameras really come close to Pixels.

Owning both Pixel 6 and Galaxy S22+, the S22 has a massive problem with slow shutter, movement and dark scenes (this issue I've observed on S22 Ultra as well).

So while Samsung might look better on paper, Pixel consistently takes better picture due to more responsive shutter and less blurry pictures.

Is the shutter actually slow or just delayed? I suspect you mean it is delayed.

Same. And after a few days the "photos" app will post some AI enhanced versions of the good shots. Some are ok, some are not much better, but occasionally it makes the photo 100x better. It's pretty amazing.

The phone is pretty nice, good screen, long battery life ....
