ThePixel 6is hands down one of the best values we’ve seen on Android, making it a fitting challenger for Samsung’s new budget champ the Galaxy S21 FE. Its predecessor was our favorite value phone of 2020 and remained a popular choice through last year, but can the new model take up that mantle?

Both phones come in below traditional flagship pricing, but at $599 the Pixel 6 undercuts the Galaxy S21 by $100. However, Samsung does have some hardware advantages to justify that added cost including a full 120Hz AMOLED display, facial recognition and a telephoto lens.
