5 reasons why Google's Pixel software is better than Samsung's One UI
Aamir Siddiqui / Android Authority Sorry, Samsung, but I've always been a Pixel fan. Although I've appreciated a Galaxy device here and there and had a soft spot for Samsung's hardware ever since I brought home the Galaxy S10 at the end of college, I've always been happiest with a Google device in my pocket. For a while, I wasn't quite sure why I felt so strongly about preferring Google's experience over Samsung's, but after a few recent updates, I've come around to a simple fact: Google's Pixel software is just so much better than One UI, and here's why. Which Android experience do you prefer? 0 votes Pixel UI NaN % One UI NaN % Give me Google's camera app any day It's no secret that I love Google's approach to image processing. If we've written about it once, we've done it a hundred times. I've hyped it up in Pixel reviews across all price points, and it's been a consistent through line ever since I upgraded to the Pixel 5. What got me in the door, though, was the fact that I never had to think twice about using Google's camera app. The Pixel camera app has been a fire-and-forget way to capture my life for as long as I can remember. Yes, long-overdue manual controls were added along the way, but they never felt quite as essential to the overall experience as Samsung's controls. See, although I'll fiddle with the manual settings on my beloved Fujifilm mirrorless cameras until I get things right, I'd much rather snap a quick photo with my phone and have it back in my pocket. I view my mirrorless options as intentional, while my phone takes on an everyday role. When that's my goal, Google's Pixel software beats Samsung's One UI any day. Google's approach to everything from panoramas to motion is more straightforward, and I know that the image I open in Photos will probably look much closer to what I had in mind. Samsung, on the other hand, tends to add motion blur when I don't want it, and its approach to astrophotography is to make me set a timer and hope for the best, which isn't my forte. I respect that Samsung probably offers a better experience for photographers who want granular control over their shots, but that's not usually me. I only need one of everything, thanks Ryan Haines / Android Authority You'll probably notice a common theme in most of the things I prefer about Google's Pixel UI over One UI: simplicity. Although smartphones are my day job, I still like to keep some of my interactions with them quick and efficient, and it's easier to do that when I only have one of each type of app. That means one email client, one cloud storage platform, and one internet browser. Unfortunately, Samsung just doesn't roll that way. Whenever I set up a new Galaxy phone, I have to stop and take stock of how much bloatware shows up by default. I have to figure out a quick way to push the included Microsoft apps off to the side, dump the extras like Facebook, and ensure that my images back up to Google Photos rather than Samsung's own Gallery. It doesn't usually take too long for me to get things the way I'd like them, but it's more of a hiccup than I've ever had with setting up a new Pixel. Whenever I set up a new Galaxy phone, I have to stop and take stock of how much bloatware shows up by default. I'd extend that simplicity to other parts of my Pixel interface, especially the app drawer. I've always found it easier to swipe up once and know that everything I've installed is perfectly alphabetized, which is much easier in Google's standard interface. Yes, you can finally flip the app drawer from horizontal to vertical on your Galaxy device, but it took far too long for Samsung to pick up what I think is an essential feature — and it took almost as long for me to figure out where that setting was hidden in the app drawer interface. Menus that don't make my head spin I have to give Samsung at least some credit for its nearly endless customization options. I love that I can swap my Galaxy launcher to something cleaner and simpler like LawnChair, which, unsurprisingly, looks and feels like Google's Pixel UI. I also have endless fun with new icon packs whenever I get tired of the default look. However, it usually takes jumping through one or two hoops too many for me to reach such a point. In some ways, Google's Pixel UI is pretty locked down by comparison, and I don't mind admitting that. I know I can't load up something like DIY Home to put apps, widgets, and random geometric shapes anywhere I want them, but I don't have the patience for that level of personalizing anyway. I'd much rather tap into one set of menus to swap out the clock on my always-on display and change the lock screen shortcuts than even think about downloading Good Lock or worrying about how my apps will show up on the cover screen of a foldable phone. Perhaps the best example of One UI making my head spin is when Samsung split its notification shade from its quick settings panel. I chose to separate them before I realized what I was doing, only to spend about half an hour looking for the correct option to reunite them — it's the pencil icon in the quick settings menu, if you were curious. Google's Pixel exclusives fit perfectly into my lifestyle Ryan Haines / Android Authority While I know that some Android fans prefer Samsung's carefully customizable extras, I've spent enough time with Google's Pixel exclusives that I'm not sure how I could ever change. I still use Now Playing just as often as I did when I first activated it on my Pixel 5, and I can't even tell you how many spam calls I've escaped with a bit of help from Call Screen. It's gotten so good that even Apple is out to copy Google's style, which is saying something. Apps like Pixel Weather and Pixel Studio are better, too, for my needs. I don't usually like to make AI-generated images out of my friends, so I'm happy to add text prompts and change art styles until Google gives me something I'm pleased with. And yes, I know that Samsung's Drawing Assist has come a long way now that it lets you enter prompts and keeps elements of your original backgrounds, but it still feels more limited for my liking. While I haven't taken a shine to more recent additions like Pixel Screenshots in exactly the same way, I like where Google's head is at. I like having the option to organize my screenshots into easily searchable collections like I can do with Nothing's Essential Space, but I also trust the setup within Google Photos because I'm more of an 'open 30 tabs' guy than a 'take 30 screenshots' guy. Samsung's one-two punch of the Now Brief and Now Bar is fine, but I use one much more than the other. I appreciate the frequent sports updates, media controls, and the status of my routines in the Now Bar, which Google has added to Android 16 as Live Updates, but I can't say I check the Now Brief more than once a day, which isn't enough for an ever-present home screen widget. A Pixel update has never left a bad taste in my mouth Ryan Haines / Android Authority No matter what Samsung does to One UI, I think the one advantage that Google will always have is faster updates. As the creator of Android, it's easier for Google to optimize its Pixel lineup, meaning that new versions like Android 15 and Android 16 can land weeks (or even months) ahead of Samsung. And, if you still doubt that, look no further than the mess that was One UI 7. If you'll recall, Samsung started its Android 15 rollout pretty quickly. Sure, a few months behind Google, but it seemed like it was getting up to speed quickly. Then, it stopped. Bugs began to appear, battery life began to tank, and users started complaining. So, Samsung went back to the drawing board to figure out what might have gone wrong. The rollout started again after a decent little delay, but it felt like the damage was mostly done. My colleague Joe Maring wrote that he wasn't sure he could easily recommend Samsung phones after the stumble, and I tended to agree with him. One advantage that Google will always have is faster updates. These days, I'd say Samsung has fixed its flawed One UI 7 update, but it's done so just in time for everyone to turn their attention to One UI 8. I'm impatiently waiting to see how it handles the stable update (we're only in the second public beta right now), and simply hoping for the best. But, even if all goes well, I'd have to imagine I'll be sticking with the Pixel 9 Pro that's already in my pocket… and already running Android 16.

ChatGPT's most advanced models recently served me a surprising statistic: US productivity grew faster in 2024 than in any year since the 1960s. Half that jump can be linked to generative AI tools that most workers hadn't even heard of two years earlier. The only problem is that it's not true. The AI made it up. Despite its much-documented fallibility, generative AI has become a huge part of many people's jobs, including my own. The numbers vary from survey to survey, but a June Gallup poll found that 42 percent of American employees are using AI a few times a year, while 19 percent report deploying it several times a week. The technology is especially popular with white-collar workers. While just 9 percent of manufacturing and front-line workers use AI on a regular basis, 27 percent of white-collar workers do. Even as many people integrate AI into their daily lives, it's causing mass job anxiety: A February Pew survey found that more than half of US employees worried about their fate at work. Unfortunately, there is no magic trick to keep your job for the foreseeable future, especially if you're a white-collar worker. Nobody knows what's going to happen with AI, and leadership at many companies is responding to this uncertainty by firing workers it may or may not need in an AI-forward future. 'If AI really is this era's steam engine, a force so transformative that it will power a new Industrial Revolution, you only stand to gain by getting good at it.' After laying off over 6,000 workers in May and June, Microsoft is laying off 9,000 more workers this month, reportedly so the company can reduce the number of middle managers as it reorganizes itself around AI. In a note on Tuesday, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy told employees that the company would 'roll out more generative AI and agents' and reduce its workforce in the next few years. This was all after Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warned AI would wipe out half of all entry-level white-collar jobs in the same timespan, a prediction so grim that Axios coined a new term for AI's imminent takeover: 'a white-collar bloodbath.' This is particularly frustrating because, as my recent encounter with ChatGPT's tendency to hallucinate makes clear, the generative AI of today, while useful for a growing number of people, needs humans to work well. So does agentic AI, the next era of this technology that involves AI agents using computers and performing tasks on your behalf rather than simply generating content. For now, AI is augmenting white-collar jobs, not automating them, although your company's CEO is probably planning for the latter scenario. Maybe one day AI will fulfill its promise of getting rid of grunt work and creating endless abundance, but getting from here to there is a harrowing proposition. 'With every other form of innovation, we ended up with more jobs in the end,' Ethan Mollick, a Wharton professor and author of the newsletter One Useful Thing, told me. 'But living through the Industrial Revolution still kind of sucked, right? There were still anarchists in the street and mass displacement from cities and towns.' We don't know if the transition to the AI future will be quite as calamitous. What we do know is that just as jobs transformed due to past technological leaps, like the introduction of the personal computer or the internet, your day-to-day at work will change in the months and years to come. If AI really is this era's steam engine, a force so transformative that it will power a new Industrial Revolution, you only stand to gain by getting good at it. At the same time, becoming an AI whiz will not necessarily save you if your company decides it's time to go all in on AI and do mass, scattershot layoffs in order to give its shareholders the impression of some efficiency gains. If you're impacted, that's just bad luck. Still, having the skills can't hurt. Welcome to the AI revolution transition It's okay to be scared of AI, but it's more reasonable to be confused by it. For two years after ChatGPT's explosive release, I couldn't quite figure out how a chatbot could make my life better. After some urging from Mollick late last year, I forced myself to start using it for menial chores. Upgrading to more advanced models of ChatGPT and Claude turned these tools into indispensable research partners that I use every day — not just to do my job faster but also better. (Disclosure: Vox Media is one of several publishers that have signed partnership agreements with OpenAI. Our reporting remains editorially independent.) But when it comes to generative AI tools and the burgeoning class of AI agents, what works for one person might not be helpful to the next. 'Workers obviously need to try to ascertain as much as they can — the skills that are most flexible and most useful,' said Mark Muro, a senior fellow at Brookings Metro. 'They need to be familiar with the technology because it is going to be pervasive.' For most white-collar workers, I recommend Mollick's 10-hour rule: Spend 10 hours using AI for work and see what you learn. Mollick also recently published an updated guide to the latest AI tools that's worth reading in full. The big takeaways are that the best of these tools (ChatGPT from OpenAI, Claude from Anthropic, and Google Gemini) can become tireless assistants with limitless knowledge that can save you hours of labor. You should try different models within the different AI tools, and you should experiment with the voice features, including the ability to use your phone's camera to share what you're seeing with the AI. You should also, unfortunately, shell out $20 a month to get access to the most advanced models. In Mollick's words, 'The free versions are demos, not tools.' 'If I have a very narrow job around a very narrow task that's being done repetitively, that's where the most risk comes in.' You can imagine similar advice coming from your geeky uncle at Thanksgiving circa 1984, when personal computers were on the brink of taking over the world. That was the year roughly the same percentage of white-collar workers were regularly using PCs at work as are using AI today. But the coming AI transition will look different than the PC transition we've already lived through. While earlier digital technologies hit frontline workers hardest, 'AI excels at supporting or carrying out the highly cognitive, nonroutine tasks that better-educated, better-paid office workers do,' according to a February Brookings report co-authored by Muro. This means AI can do a lot of the tasks that software engineers, architects, lawyers, and journalists do, but it doesn't mean that AI can do their jobs — a key distinction. This is why you hear more experts talking about AI augmentation rather than AI automation. As a journalist, I can confidently say that AI is great at streamlining my research process, saving me time, and sometimes even stirring up new ideas. AI is terrible at interviewing sources, although that might not always be the case. And clearly, it's touch-and-go when it comes to writing factually accurate copy, which is kind of a fundamental part of the job. That proposition looks different for other kinds of white-collar work, namely administrative and operational support jobs. A Brookings report last year found that 100 percent of the tasks that bookkeepers and clerks do were likely to be automated. Those of travel agents, tax preparers, and administrative assistants were close to 100 percent. If AI really did make these workers redundant, it would add up to millions of jobs lost. 'The thing I'd be most worried about is if my task and job are very similar to each other,' Mollick, the Wharton professor, explained. 'If I have a very narrow job around a very narrow task that's being done repetitively, that's where the most risk comes in.' Related These stories could change how you feel about AI It's hard to AI-proof your job or career altogether given so much uncertainty. We don't know if companies will take advantage of this transition in ways that produce better products and happier workers or just use it as an excuse to fire people, squandering what some believe is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to transform work and productivity. It sucks to feel like you have little agency in steering the future toward one outcome or the other. At the risk of sounding like your geeky uncle, I say give AI a try. The worst-case scenario is you spend 10 hours talking to an artificially intelligent chatbot rather than scrolling through Instagram or Reddit. The best-case scenario is you develop a new skill set, one that could very well set you up to do an entirely new kind of job, one that didn't even exist before the AI era. You might even have a little fun along the way. A version of this story was also published in the User Friendly newsletter. Sign up here so you don't miss the next one!
