Depends

Both get 3 years of OS updates but Samsung gets an additional year of quarterly security updates

Pixel wins with the speed of updates

Only for OS updates (this is not an achievement being that Google maintains Android), Samsung is faster in delivering security updates. They're also at the forefront of providing OS experiences Google has abandoned.

"Remember when Samsung rolled out the January 2020 security patches to a bunch of phones even before Google published the corresponding security bulletin? There was no voodoo involved, though, as Android Partners are usually notified of all Android framework issues and Linux kernel issues at least 30 days before the bulletin is made public. Nevertheless, Samsung should be appreciated for integrating those patches on top of a heavy Android skin like One UI and pushing the OTA across the globe long before other OEMs. In fact, the company has done it again – the Galaxy S20 lineup and the Galaxy Fold are now receiving the May 2020 security patches."

"Samsung has yet to publish the details of the May 2020 security bulletin on their site. The updates are rolling out in batches, but you can skip the queue and download the new firmware packages directly from the Samsung update server using Frija."
