I tried a Google pixel but returned it because it was lacking a lot of features that one UI had. What I like about the galaxy over the pixel is that it has a photo gallery app which is better than Google photos, edge panel, Bixby routines, secure folder/notes, the clear all button on the app switcher, good lock, and the ability to select more than one app at a time when creating folders / deleting apps. I like that my galaxy requires the passcode in order the shut the phone off from the lock screen. I could go on but thats all the big stuff for me.
The photo gallery is a deal breaker for me. One of the biggest reasons why I returned my pixel 8
