Comparison review
The Galaxy XCover Pro is just a bit better than the Google Pixel 3a XL, getting a global score of 81 against 78.9. Both of these phones work with the same Android 11 OS (Operating System), so both of them should offer the same OS features. The Galaxy XCover Pro is a better phone than the Google Pixel 3a XL, we must note that it is also a somewhat thicker and incredibly heavier phone.
The Galaxy XCover Pro counts with a little sharper screen than Google Pixel 3a XL, because it has a little bit larger screen, a bit higher resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels and a little bit higher pixels quantity in each display inch. The Galaxy XCover Pro features a bit better processor than Google Pixel 3a XL. Both of them have 8 cores and 4 GB of RAM memory.
Samsung Galaxy XCover Pro's camera is just as good as the camera in Google Pixel 3a XL, because although the Samsung Galaxy XCover Pro has a much tinier back-facing camera sensor shooting much worse quality videos and photos, and they both have the same video frame rates and the same 1920x1080 video definition, it also counts with a larger diafragm aperture to take better low-light photography and video and a camera in the back with way more mega pixels.
The Samsung Galaxy XCover Pro features a superior memory capacity for apps and games than Google Pixel 3a XL, and although they both have the same 64 GB internal storage capacity, the Samsung Galaxy XCover Pro also has a slot for SD memory cards that holds up to 512 GB. Galaxy XCover Pro counts with a little longer battery lifetime than Google Pixel 3a XL, because it has a 9 percent bigger battery size.
Although Samsung Galaxy XCover Pro is a better device, it costs a lot more money than the Google Pixel 3a XL, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the Google Pixel 3a XL. If you are trying to save some money, you can get the Google Pixel 3a XL, and give up a few features and specifications, but you will get the most with your savings.
