The Pixel is pure Android, while the Samsungs have an overlay that some prefer and some don't.
My past 3 phones have been Huaweis; I like them from a hardware standpoint. However, their Harmony OS is now so far removed from Android as to be useless for me. I know Samsung and LG aren't nearly as obnoxious as Huawei in this respect, but I'm still a bit gun shy. As such, Pixels are a frontrunner for now.
