I think people hate on the Tensor G3 way too much. The average down to earth consumer wouldn't for a second feel the processor is slow at all

[@izziboye]

It actually isn't slow. I think people like benchmark scores too much. The fact that it games better than the High benchmark Exynos 2200 is proof that while super high performance is great, optimisation >>>

[@CentroidYT]

But its modem sucks, battery sucks, and overheating sucks. If you wanna play games on it, its gonna suck for that too

[@life-pm5xl]

​@@CentroidYTdude, my 8 pro has never overheated. Do u even have one?

[@CentroidYT]

Many people report the awful thermals and battery of the G3, as well as the poor modem which contributes to the poor battery life when off of wifi.@@life-pm5xl

Never seen your channel before but this was a great video! I got an S23 FE and love it. I quite like OneUI and the look of the cameras. Having a 3x zoom camera is great. I hear so much about how great the Pixels cameras are but was surprised at how comparable the photos are between the phones.

[@tech2004]

S23 FE is better at selfie video from what you showed us. Pixel 8 does really well at selfie pictures (most times better). I also can't believe that the pixel 8 beats the S23 FE in gaming. That is really good value for money considering it costs more. The pixel 8 sacrifices audio quality to reduce background noise, while the S23 FE maintains audio quality and has a higher background noise. Both great phones.

[@scotttatertot69]

The S23 FE throttles quite a bit in gaming, that probably explains the difference.

[@RichieYimika]

Love the way the color of your shirt matches with the pixel❤️

[@animefams1433]

I also wanted to ask, do you resell these phones?

[@Klips_.]

I'm very fine with everything on the s23 FE apart from the "thick" bezels. Like I wasnt expecting that from Samsung. Of all things to use to reduce the price, the screen shouldn't have been one of those things 🥲

[@1t4music10]

I liked the part where you said "oops low battery" makes the video fun and more real 😂 nice one!

[@young_n._older]

I would have gotten the pixel 8. But the problem seems to be the processor and the low battery. On the other hand 8 pro is priced way too high.

[@mrcovels]

Pixel is very good in noise cancelling

I love pixel phones, they have more true to life experience when using them, though I've nt used one before!

Me too, pixels so easy to use with no unnecessary distractions. I find Samsung's a bit too busy, albeit they're great devices

[@Urhiemefe]

The pixel 8 looks so sexy. But if i were to go with a any, I'd go with the Pixel because of compact size and clean Andriod experience. But the lack of support in Nigeria is a red flag for me.

[@thegrinch77]

I swapped from the s21fe to the s23fe - and it unfortunately felt like a downgrade. My s21fe had a sleeker design all together and was sporting the Snapdragon 8 gen 2. I now have the Pixel 8 - the phone is great, even though I miss the samsung ecosystem. Looking forward to this years galaxy unpacked... will we see a new FE model?

[@marksouthwell4490]

Both are very good devices, probably cant go wrong buying either. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages. Id be happy with either choice. Ive never understood the competition between brand fans about their devices , benchmark scores etc. There are lots of good phone devices out there, buy one that suits your individual needs !😊

[@izziboye]

Couldn't have said it any better 👌🏾👌🏾

[@curbsidetech]

Good points

[@smartoliver9721]

@izziboye, You know, from your interest in samsung products, it's shocking to me that you never reviewed their premium devices, especially S23 and S23 plus. I had to look through KZbin for other reviewers before buying. Nice comparison video. Too bad the s23fe just don't look as good as we wanted it to look

[@izziboye]

They're costly, and I have to buy them. Not easy. Plus by the time they're available for purchase, there's pretty much videos everywhere so it's kinda tricky spending money to buy a Samsung flagship and get it late, lose out on the views, and then look for how to get rid of them at a significant loss. So I only buy the ones I'm sure I'll use (I have the S23 UItra). Didn't review it on KZbin because by the time I got it, twas over a month after launch. Might do a long term review just before the S24 Ultra launches

Pixel 8 can use 2 SIM cards, one has to be an eSIM

[@Daniel-en4ub]

Why won't the pixel 8 work with 5G, when the 5G band Nigeria ISP uses is available on the phone already? Unless it's not available

[@izziboye]

For the same reason when MTN’s 5G first came to Nigeria, for the first 3 months we could not use it on iPhone or Samsungs. Also Airtel's 5G did not work on Samsung phones initially too

[@Daniel-en4ub]

@@izziboyeThe Samsungs problem was because most of the Samsung phones shipped to Nigeria was the USA variant with Snapdragon processors, and that variant doesn't have the band used by Nigerian ISP's but if you bought the International variant of the phone 5G would work, even till today, not just the first 3 months. If you have a Google pixel phone and 5G doesn't work on it, maybe you should check to configure the APN or the access point of the phone manually (configure it exactly thesame as the phone that 5G works on) because sometimes it's not properly configured automatically on Google pixel phones

[@izziboye]

@@Daniel-en4ub lol if you own a Google Pixel help us configure yours the right way and tell us what we're doing wrong. We have Samsung officially in Nigeria. Most of the Samsungs shipped to Nigeria are tagged Made for Africa. They literally host official launch in Nigeria. The "UK used" ones are shipped in by vendors and in the first few months of MTN’s 5G launch very few of those not bought from Nigeria or got UK used, accessed 5G, but very few. Also, your explanation given for Samsung phones does not account for why it didn't work on iPhones too initially. There is no Pixel user in Nigeria with 5G access to the best of my knowledge, and it's not a configuration problem. I have spoken with MTN directly about this. I was at their pilot launch of 5G. Basically, the manufacturer needs to permit it for the region. We do not have enough Pixel users in this region for our ISPs to bother about getting the manufacturers to release an update that unlocks the access

[@izziboye]

@@Daniel-en4ub also, in the possibility that you were not aware, when MTN’s 5G started working on Samsung and iPhones, MTN made official announcements. For iPhone users, they were required to update to iOS 16.2 (that's an update that came directly from Apple) For Samsung users, they were required to install the latest software update from Samsung at the time. It was earlier this year I believe, the April/May software update. I made videos about both

[@Daniel-en4ub]

@@izziboye That's right. That's also a possibility, it might also be a software problem. Because I also use Google pixel but wouldn't know if 5G works or not because there's no 5G in My region

[@animefams1433]

Both phones are really good but i gues the pixel 8 did better. Not a samsung fan though I'm using the s10 doesn't really do well based on the software. Also, you don't really do reviews on the xiaomi mi flagshop series, and also, i haven't really seen any Nigerian tech bros do reviews of xiaomi mi flagship series, why is that?

[@izziboye]

Cos flagship phones are expensive, including the fact that the Xiaomi Mi flagship series scarcely come to this region. I reviewed the 13T and that's cos it came to this region and Xiaomi Global sent me one.

[@kaffeice7]

both are good, wish the pixel was cheaper or the samsung the size of the pixel lol ...
