The biggest sale season is officially upon us, and like each year, we're presented with a mountainous task of choosing the best flagship smartphone deals. This year, the contenders are the Galaxy S24 and the Google Pixel 9, which are available for under Rs 40,000, but which is more value for money? Let's answer that question.
Pixel 9 and Galaxy S24 deals in Flipkart Big Billion Days sale
The Galaxy S24 and Pixel 9 will be among the most heavily discounted smartphones in the Flipkart Big Billion Days sale. It's worth noting that the Galaxy S24 sold here is the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 variant, which makes choosing between the two even more confusing.
Google's Pixel 9 variant will be down to Rs 37,999 from its usual price of Rs 64,999, which is a whopping 41% discount. However, the final price can be further reduced via bank offers and exchange discounts to Rs 34,999.
Samsung's Galaxy S24, on the other hand, will be available for Rs 39,999 for its base 128 GB variant. That's a heavy markdown of Rs 25,000 or around 38%, making it one of the best smartphone deals on Flipkart.
Phone model | Regular price | Sale price |
|---|---|---|
Pixel 9 | Rs 64,999 | Rs 34,999 (with Rs 2,000 bank discount and Rs 1,000 exchange offer) |
Galaxy S24 | Rs 70,999 | Rs 39,999 |
Pixel 9 vs Galaxy S24: Which phone should you get?
For around the same price bracket, the Pixel 9 faces stiff competition from the Galaxy S24, but for a difference of just Rs 5,000, which phone is the better deal? Here's a detailed breakdown to help you out.
Galaxy S24 has a better display
The Galaxy S24 has a slightly more compact design with much slimmer bezels, which small phone aficionados may prefer more. The display on the Galaxy S24 uses the more efficient LTPO technology, whereas the Pixel 9 uses an LTPS display. This should translate to more efficient battery use, more about the same below.
Galaxy S24 offers better performance

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in the Galaxy S24 performs better in almost every aspect than the Tensor G4 in the Pixel 9. It's faster across CPU and GPU compute, especially the latter, where the G4 suffers. Therefore, if you're a gamer or value performance, the choice is obvious.
Cameras have different strengths
Right off the bat, the Galaxy S24 gives you a more flexible selection of cameras with a telephoto snapper. However, the Pixel 9 makes up for it with a higher resolution 48 MP ultrawide snapper.
The Galaxy S24 features a 50 MP main camera, 10 MP telephoto and 12 MP ultrawide snapper, whereas the Pixel 9 gets a 50 MP main and 48 MP ultrawide unit. So while the telephoto in the S24 adds a bit of versatility, the final decision depends on whether you want a telephoto on the S24 or a much better ultrawide on the Pixel 9.
Pixel 9 gives you more storage at less price
The Pixel 9 variant that will be sold on Flipkart for Rs 34,999 will be a 256 GB variant. But the Galaxy S24 that will sell for Rs 39,999 will only offer 128 GB of storage. This essentially means, the Pixel 9 will get you more storage for less price, which could be a crucial purchasing factor for a lot of users.
Pixel 9 has a larger battery
The Pixel 9 gets a 4,700mAh battery with faster 27W charging compared to the Galaxy S24's 4,000mAh battery and 25W charging. While the LTPO AMOLED display on the S24 is efficient, the Pixel 9 will still outperform in terms of battery usage.
Verdict: Pixel 9 edges past Galaxy S24, but not by a lot
As we reach the end of this read, if you're still stuck with the question – should you buy the Google Pixel 9 or Samsung Galaxy S24 in Flipkart Big Billion Days sale? The answer is – Pixel 9 is a better value for money.
Why get Pixel 9? | Why get Galaxy S24? |
|---|---|
Offers more storage in base variant | Better performing chipset |
Higher quality ultrawide camera | Gets an extra telephoto sensor |
Bigger battery with slightly faster charging | Includes a more efficient LTPO display |
If you're on a limited budget, the Pixel 9 deal on Flipkart is the way to go. For Rs 5,000 less, you're getting an overall good phone with decent performance, larger battery with faster charging and a higher-quality ultra-wide camera on the Pixel 9. It's a sweeter deal if you also like the stock flavour of Android, with Google's fine touches.
However, if performance and display are your absolute priorities and your budget is flexible, you can opt for the Galaxy S24. Paying a bit extra also gets you better camera versatility, thanks to the S24's telephoto sensor.
The bottom line is, you cannot go wrong with either of them, and it really depends on what you want. If you're still confused, we recommend checking this Pixel 9 vs Galaxy S24 comparison to see which phone better fits the bill. And with that, we hope we made your buying decision a bit easier.
