Google Pixel 10 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy A36 5G

Google Pixel 10 Pro

Refined evolution of the Pixel design with a polished aluminum frame, Qi2 magnetic module, and IP68 durability. Familiar but more polished than its predecessor.

• Sleek and elegant design that feels more premium than the Pixel 9 Pro, with refined edges and a polished finish
• Qi2 magnetic charging ring is built into the back, enabling a whole ecosystem of MagSafe-compatible accessories for Android
• Design is evolutionary rather than revolutionary — many will struggle to tell it apart from the Pixel 9 Pro at a glance

Samsung Galaxy A36 5G

The A36 5G punches above its weight in design, with a clean aesthetic that mirrors Samsung's flagship lineup. Build quality is solid for the price with a polycarbonate back that still manages to look sleek.

• Clean, modern design that takes cues from the flagship S25 series — doesn't look like a budget phone
• IP67 water resistance at $299 is impressive and increasingly expected at this price tier
