If camera quality is a priority, the Google Pixel 7 Pro stands out with significantly better still photo and video quality, along with the ability to shoot RAW and HDR video, compared to the Samsung Galaxy A42. However, the Pixel 7 Pro comes at a premium price, while the Galaxy A42 is budget-friendly. The Pixel 7 Pro also boasts a larger, higher-resolution and higher-refresh-rate screen, which is better for viewing content, but if you prefer a headphone jack and are okay with a lower screen resolution, the Samsung Galaxy A42 has these features and is lighter in weight. The Galaxy A42 also has expandable storage via an SD card, unlike the Pixel 7 Pro. The Pixel 7 Pro has a longer battery life, but keep in mind it has no headphone jack and doesn't support expandable storage, unlike the A42. Both phones run on Android and neither has a front-facing stereo speaker setup. The choice between them should weigh on whether you prioritize camera capabilities, screen quality, and battery life over price and the conveniences like a headphone jack and expandable storage.
