The Galaxy S10 has an ultra-wide lens, a regular lens, and a zoom lens.

The Pixel 4 has a regular lens and a zoom lens it's missing the ultra-wide lens. The Pixel 4 might take better photos in overall, at least from the regular and zoomed lenses. But it can't take ultra-wide photos, which means the Pixel 4's camera is significantly less versatile than the Galaxy S10's.
Anyone who likes their wired headphones will be glad to know the Galaxy S10 has a headphone jack.

You can charge a smartphone and other gadgets that support wireless charging from the back of the Galaxy S10, which is actually kind of neat.

The Galaxy S10 can record 4K video up to 60 frames per second for a smooth video. It's actually become a fairly common option in many top-end smartphones, but Google is neglecting the video recording part of the Pixel 4, which can only record 4K video up to 30 frames per second. That's fine, but it's not as comprehensive as the Galaxy S10.
The Galaxy S10 can also record video in HDR10 Plus for better colors and contrast, whereas the Pixel 4 doesn't offer that option.
It's not a massive deal, nor is it a deal-breaker. But the Pixel 4 certainly shouldn't be the phone of choice for those who care about video recording.
The Galaxy S10 comes with a minimum of 128 GB of storage, twice as much as the Pixel 4s paltry base 64 GB of storage.

With all this said, if you think the Galaxy S10 looks great, you might consider holding off for a few months. Samsung is expected to reveal a new Galaxy S phone in February 2020, just about three months from now.
