If the camera is a top priority for you, the Google Pixel 6 generally offers better photo quality, making it worth considering despite being more expensive than the Samsung Galaxy S21+. However, if screen refresh rate is important, the S21+ has a higher refresh rate for smoother scrolling and animation, but its camera doesn't match the Pixel's. The Pixel 6 has longer battery life than the S21+ and might last you longer on a single charge. The S21+ has a larger screen, which could be better for media consumption and gaming. Both phones run Android, have similar storage, and lack headphone jacks and SD card slots. Choose the Pixel 6 for photography and battery, or the S21+ for the display and cost savings. Give Feedback
