Pixel 6 PRO or S22?

Hi folks,

Company phone time - I have been a Samsung person since the S3. I've been refreshing the portal for ages and the S22 still isn't popping up - but the 6 PRO has been sitting in plain site.

Can anyone comment? I'm not bothered on how it looks tbh. I just want a solid workhorse that works well with zero interventions.

Things I like about the S20 I currently have: fingerprints sensor is brilliant, camera is good - most of the rest is down to the Android software.

Things I don't like - no external activity LEDs.

Yeah I think the optical sensor is a game changer for me. I use the phone religiously for train tickets/tube travel so the half second delay is not really cricket for my use case.

I'll wait for the S22.

I don`t know if you realize.If you use Samsung pay for transport tickets and to pay for subway tickets ect you do not even have to open up Samsung pay.

Unfortunately Samsung Pay lacks some critical features (but the one you mention is very, very useful) --- but alas, I'm outside of the Oyster zone so typically buy QR code train tickets versus just tap and go.

I moved from android altogether to the dark side that is apple. After being a Samsung user for many many years/ had nearly all phones bar the note 20. I now use apple pay. And tbh it has never failed me yet.

I did debate it... but I'm just not ready
