Comparison review

The Samsung Galaxy S8 Active is slightly better than Google Pixel 2, with a score of 81.9 against 81.6. Even being the best in our current comparison, it must be told that it is also thicker and notably heavier. The Google Pixel 2 features a CPU that is just as good as the Samsung Galaxy S8 Active one, both of them have 8 cores and the same RAM amount.

The Galaxy S8 Active features a little bit better looking screen than Google Pixel 2, because it has a much better resolution of 1440 x 2960px, a greater count of pixels per display inch and a bigger screen. The Google Pixel 2 counts with a camera that's very similar to the camera in Samsung Galaxy S8 Active, because although the Google Pixel 2 has a smaller sensor and a tinier aperture, and they both have the same video frame rates and the same video resolution, it also counts with a more mega pixels back camera.

Samsung Galaxy S8 Active counts with a little bit more storage capacity for applications and games than Google Pixel 2, because although it has only 64 GB internal memory, it also counts with an external SD slot that supports a maximum of 256 GB. The Galaxy S8 Active features a superior battery performance than Google Pixel 2, because it has 4000mAh of battery capacity.

Although Galaxy S8 Active is a better device, it costs a lot more money than the Google Pixel 2, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as Google Pixel 2. So if you need that extra specs and features, you can buy the Galaxy S8 Active, otherwise you can save some money and buy the Google Pixel 2, letting go a couple specifications.
