FAQ

Galaxy S25 Ultra vs Pixel 9 Pro: FAQs

Answers based on the visible comparison, sourced specifications, and calculated physical dimensions.

Which phone screen is bigger?
The Galaxy S25 Ultra has the larger full-rectangle diagonal and screen area.
Are the screens the same shape?
They are close: Google states 20:9, while Samsung’s resolution reduces to 19.5:9.
Why is Samsung PPI marked calculated?
The cited Samsung specification lists diagonal and resolution but not PPI, so this site calculates density from those official inputs.
Which screen is physically larger: Galaxy S25 Ultra or Pixel 9 Pro?
Galaxy S25 Ultra is physically larger by screen area. It has about 22% more active rectangular area than Pixel 9 Pro, based on the listed measurements.
How do the screen widths compare?
Galaxy S25 Ultra is approximately 2.89 inches wide in its natural orientation, while Pixel 9 Pro is approximately 2.59 inches wide. Device bodies and bezels are not included.
How do the screen heights compare?
Galaxy S25 Ultra is approximately 6.26 inches tall in its natural orientation, compared with 5.75 inches for Pixel 9 Pro.
Which screen has the higher pixel density?
Galaxy S25 Ultra has the higher density: 498 ppi versus 495 ppi.
Does resolution determine which screen is bigger?
No. Resolution counts pixels, while physical size is measured in inches or centimetres. A screen can have more pixels while being physically smaller, or be physically larger with the same resolution.
Are the comparison outlines life-size?
The two outlines use the same proportional scale, so their relative size is accurate. They are not calibrated to the physical size of your current monitor. Use the measurement table for real-world planning.
Do these dimensions include bezels or the device body?
No. Width, height, and area refer to the active screen rectangle. Full chassis dimensions, stands, hinges, and model-specific bezels must be checked separately.
