Comparison review

Both of these phones have Android OS (operating system), but the Galaxy S22 has newer 13 version while Google Pixel 6a has Android 12 version, so it counts with some nice extra features and a performance increase.
The Galaxy S22 counts with a much more vibrant display than Google Pixel 6a, although it has a bit worse 1080 x 2340 resolution and a little lower screen pixel density, they both have a display with the same size. The Google Pixel 6a's memory for games and applications is just as good as the Galaxy S22 one, both have the same internal memory capacity.
The Galaxy S22 counts with a much more powerful processing unit than Google Pixel 6a, because it has more RAM and a higher number of cores (and also faster). The Google Pixel 6a features longer battery life than Samsung Galaxy S22, because it has a 4410mAh battery capacity. The Galaxy S22 shoots greater videos and photos than Google Pixel 6a, because although it has a tinier aperture which is not recommended for shooting pictures in poorly lited situations, it also counts with a back-facing camera with much more mega-pixels and a way higher video resolution.
