The pixel version of android is way better than samsung but samsung gives you better battery life.

Now that both are going to do 7 years of updates, I'd probably go with samsung just for battery life.

I like my Pixel 4a and 7a but the battery life is just so underwhelming. I do not use my phone at all and idle drain is just more than I like.
My 5 is 3+ years in and battery seems like day one. That and the rear fingerprint is why I'm resisting upgrading to the 8 pro I bought back in October.

My 4a is still mint, too and I love the rear fingerprint sensor. I wish they would bring that back. It has only been charged to 100% maybe 5 times total and never went below 30%. battery life is exactly same as when brand new. Not terrible but not great.

The issue is that I only use my phones for talk and texting. Nothing else. When my phone is sitting on a table all night, I personally feel that any battery drain more than about 2-3% is unacceptable. The Pixel OS has consistently had about 5-7% battery drain overnight and even faster during the days for whatever reason.

This doesn't even get into screen-on-time for the power users. The SOT for pixel devices isn't really competitive to other high end devices.
