Samsung S25 is the more performance-focused option because its Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy processor produces much higher benchmark scores than the Tensor G4 in Pixel 9. It also weighs just 162 g, making it easier to use one-handed compared with the 198 g Pixel 9. Pixel 9 instead gives you a larger 6.3-inch screen, a 4,700 mAh battery, and Google's dual-camera computational photography system. Samsung adds a dedicated 3x telephoto camera and supports up to 8K rear video, giving you more flexibility for zoom and high-resolution recording. Both phones are available in India and support seven years of software or security coverage from their respective launch policies. Your choice should depend on whether you value Samsung's compact performance and zoom camera or Google's camera processing and larger battery.

These questions compare performance, cameras, battery, and compact flagship usability.

→ Is Samsung S25 much faster than Google Pixel 9?

Yes. Current benchmark testing shows a substantial performance advantage for Samsung S25. Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy uses a 3 nm process and produces much higher CPU and graphics scores than Tensor G4.

You are most likely to notice this difference in demanding games, emulation, video editing, and processor-heavy workloads. Basic messaging, browsing, navigation, and streaming do not require the full performance difference.

→ Which phone is better for photography?

The answer depends on how you shoot. Samsung S25 gives you a dedicated 10MP 3x telephoto camera, which is useful for portraits, events, and subjects farther away.

Pixel 9 uses a 50MP main camera and 48MP ultra-wide camera with Macro Focus. It is particularly useful if you prefer Google's computational photography and frequently take wide or close-up shots.

→ Which phone is better for battery-focused buyers?

Pixel 9 has the larger 4,700 mAh battery, compared with 4,000 mAh on Samsung S25. That extra capacity can be useful if you spend long days on navigation, messaging, photography, or mobile data.

Samsung balances its smaller battery with a lighter 162 g body. Your choice is therefore partly between battery capacity and portability.

Samsung S25 has a clear benchmark advantage. NanoReview's current results show around 87% higher AnTuTu 11 performance and more than double the Geekbench multi-core result. These figures can change with software versions, temperature, storage conditions, and test methodology.

The difference makes Samsung S25 better suited to demanding mobile gaming, video editing, emulation, and other heavy workloads. Pixel 9 is not designed around maximum benchmark performance, but Tensor G4 still supports everyday apps, photography, AI features, and multitasking.

→ Keep in mind: Higher benchmark scores do not make simple tasks twice as fast. The advantage matters most when applications place sustained pressure on the processor or GPU.

Bajaj Finance offers two ways to convert your purchase into affordable monthly payments, both available at 1.5 lakh+ partner stores across 4,000+ cities.

How should you choose?

Choose the Bajaj Finance Insta EMI Card if you make repeat purchases across mobiles, appliances, laptops, and other categories. Consider the Bajaj Finance Easy EMI Loan when you want financing for a single higher-value smartphone purchase. Both options require you to complete the transaction physically at a Bajaj Finance partner store.

Example: 

Aditi, aged 28, from Mumbai wants the Google Pixel 9 12GB + 256GB priced at Rs. 64,999. She chooses the Bajaj Finance Easy EMI Loan for this single higher-value purchase and visits a Reliance Digital partner store in Mumbai. EMIs can start at Rs. 830 per month, subject to eligibility and the approved offer. If you are comparing the Samsung S25 and Pixel 9 primarily by price, the Pixel currently requires a lower purchase amount. If you expect to use demanding games or processor-heavy applications regularly, financing the higher-priced Samsung can make more sense for that specific use case. Get a Bajaj Finance Easy EMI Loan of up to Rs. 5 lakh on your next smartphone purchase.

If you are an existing Bajaj Finance Insta EMI Card holder, you may have a pre-approved loan limit of up to 3 lakh. Choose repayment tenures of up to 60 months.

Buying the Samsung S25 or Google Pixel 9 using Bajaj Finance takes only a few steps. The in-store process usually takes around 10–15 minutes, subject to eligibility and verification.

1. Browse models on Bajaj Mall: Compare Samsung S25 and Google Pixel 9 specifications, prices, colours, and storage.
2. Find a partner store: Visit a nearby Croma, Vijay Sales, Reliance Digital, or another participating Bajaj Finance partner store.
3. Check the phone in person: Compare size, weight, camera zoom, screen brightness, battery, and software.
4. Choose your financing option: Ask about the Bajaj Finance Insta EMI Card or Easy EMI Loan and confirm tenure and zero down payment eligibility.
5. Complete the purchase: Finish the required in-store process and take your smartphone home or arrange delivery where available.

If you are deciding in person, hold both phones for a few minutes. Samsung weighs 162 g compared with Pixel's 198 g, which can make a noticeable difference during prolonged one-handed use.
