Google Pixel 6 vs Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra: Specs, Price, Performance
Product Comparison
Compare key features and specifications side by side
Overview
Does Samsung’s latest Ultra simply crush everything? I used the Google Pixel 6 and the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra side by side for over a month in Dhaka, daily calls, gaming at night, photos on busy streets, and long hours on mobile data. The Pixel 6 still feels smooth and camera-reliable, but the Galaxy S25 Ultra delivers clearly better performance, battery confidence, display visibility, and long-term peace of mind. In Bangladesh, price and official support change the buying logic a lot. Below, I break down real pricing, gaming stress tests, network stability, camera reliability, and which phone actually makes sense for your money.
Compare Google Pixel 6 & Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Latest Price in Bangladesh
I checked prices by visiting Dhaka’s major mobile markets and local online shops. The Google Pixel 6 is no longer officially sold in Bangladesh, so available units are unofficial or used. Pricing depends heavily on condition and battery health, which adds buying risk.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is officially available with warranty, making its price more stable and resale-friendly. Pixel 6 saves money upfront, while Samsung costs more but offers long-term security.
Unofficial / Grey Market Buying Risk
With Google Pixel 6 units, I saw mixed battery health and inconsistent accessories. The S25 Ultra’s official channel removes most of that uncertainty.
Compare Gaming Performance of Google Pixel 6 & Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra
I started gaming casually on both phones before pushing them harder. The Google Pixel 6, powered by Google’s Tensor chip, runs PUBG Mobile and CODM smoothly at balanced settings. But during longer Genshin Impact sessions, frame drops appeared and the phone warmed up noticeably in a non-air-conditioned room.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra felt like a different class. High graphics stayed stable for longer, heat was better controlled, and overall comfort was higher. This matches reference performance data, but my real takeaway was simple: Samsung stays enjoyable longer. In this price tier, some gaming-focused phones match raw power, but few balance performance and daily usability like the Ultra.
Battery Health Reality
After identical gaming sessions, Pixel 6 lost charge faster and stayed warmer. The Galaxy S25 Ultra drained slower and recovered quicker after cooling.

Network & Connectivity Comparison Google Pixel 6 & Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra
I used both phones with Grameenphone, Banglalink, Airtel, and Robi across Dhaka. On 2G and 3G, call quality was fine on both, though Samsung held signal better indoors. On 4G LTE, the Galaxy S25 Ultra delivered more stable speeds in crowded areas like markets and offices. Pixel 6 worked well for browsing but fluctuated more under congestion.
The S25 Ultra supports 5G network, which isn’t widespread yet but adds future value. Wi-Fi stability and call clarity were also stronger on Samsung. Compared with other flagships, Samsung sits among the most reliable for Bangladeshi networks.

The Google Pixel 6 uses a 50MP main sensor with strong computational processing, while the Galaxy S25 Ultra combines a high-resolution main camera with multiple telephoto lenses. In daylight, both produced sharp photos, but Pixel delivered more consistent colors shot to shot. In low light, Pixel handled night scenes well, though Samsung kept more detail.
Video and zoom clearly favored Samsung. For travel, events, or versatility, the Ultra is more dependable. Pixel remains excellent for quick, reliable photos.
Display Quality Comparison of Google Pixel 6 & Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra
Google Pixel 6’s AMOLED display looks clean indoors, but outdoors it struggles under harsh sunlight. The Galaxy S25 Ultra’s Dynamic LTPO AMOLED stays bright, sharp, and comfortable even at noon. Scrolling feels smoother, and long YouTube sessions are easier on the eyes. For daily visibility, Samsung is clearly better.
