The Edge Panel is an example of what Samsung Galaxy phones do really well: It gives you a ton of options and features to play around with. You get more choices when it comes to font styles and color modes on Galaxy phones, whereas Pixel phones tend to be a little simpler and more minimal across the interface and the settings screens.

With both the Samsung Galaxy S24+ and the Apple iPhone 16 Plus having launched in 2024, finding them is as easy as looking wherever smartphones are sold. In addition to being available directly from their respective stores, both devices can readily be found from all major carriers, many smaller carriers, and retailers such as Amazon and Best Buy.

As usual, the situation for Pixel owners is more straightforward than other OEMs, and that’s especially true for Samsung users, still reeling from the surprise delay to Android 15 suddenly confirmed last week.
