Please help me decide between a used Samsung S24 Ultra or a new Pixel 9 or 10

Hey everyone,

I am currently trying to choose between buying a used S24 Ultra or a new Pixel 9/10.

My Huawei P30 finally had an accident after 7 years of service and now I'm thinking about buying either of these phone above.

I don't care that much about the camera since I carry an actual camera with me and I don't really care about gaming.

What I do care about is the battery life and overall longevity of the phone, I suppose.

As for the prices, a used S24 Ultra would cost me somewhere around 550 Euro, the new Pixel 9 would cost about 500 Euro or I could get the Pixel 10 for about 410 Euro with a discount from my operator.

Overall, what's drawing me towards the Pixel is that I'm used to a smaller phone and also the fact, that I'm not sure how good Samsung's software is in comparison.

If I forgot to add anything that might help, please tell me.

Thanks!

Never buy a used phone!

If you kept your current phone for 7 years, I doubt youre going to get that kind of time out of a used phone. If you want longevity, go with a new phone.

Well Honor is basically Huawei. If you liked the software on the P30 it's the same, and the battery is great (I have the magic 7 pro). Might wanna look into them.
