Great comparison! As a long time Pixel user, currently using a P7P, I am really finding it hard to justify upgrading to the new Pixel 8 lineup with the new price point and Tensor 3 chip BS. Google phone hardware at best are average, especially coupled with the Tensor processor and it's mediocre performance, only thing that's kept me using a pixel is Google's computational photography and call screening feature. Just a matter of time until Samsung bakes similar features into its One UI. As an overall device use case for the average consumer, Samsung is a better choice and value for the money.

​@@michalksi2377 What kind of work you been doing for it to lag lol? I am a heavy user - using 5g, always have 120hz, never use battery saving and protection and do video rendering all the time and my s23+ never even stutter. You might want to re-optimize the phone, sounds like a software problem from updates and poor maintenance from your end.

[@michalksi2377]

@@adybolical seems like software the phone doesn't lag itself it just keeps skipping frames from time to time when keyboard or when I switch apps. Then from time to time it's not fluid it's just takes three steps like in a cheap phone, I reseted it to the factory put the backup on and it's still the same so I need to probably start from nothing without importing the settings from backup

My last 3 phones have been Pixels (2, 3, and currently 5). I got the 8 and sent it back. I didn't feel like I was getting anything new for the $ I paid. In the short time I had it, it got so hot in my hand that it worried me that it would have overheating problems. I'm not sold on the Tensor after the P6 and P7. I might buy it again in a few months at a used price but I'm also looking at a slightly used S23 now. The one Pixel feature I use daily is the "screen call" feature for spam callers.

Indeed Snapdragon performs better than G Tensor but only when it come to benchmark whatever settings in games it handles well in normal use it is not noticeable, same with the ufs 3.1 or 4, when it comes to battery everything depends on your daily usage. G Tensor 3 is better than the previous one they improve it. Pixel has lot of features that require battery resources you can disable some of them to backup energy when you do not use them and while waiting for battery adaptive software. If Samsung has the same features, you'll notice the battery drain as well. Pixel has also some better hardwares it supports WiFi 7 and has better and brighter screen display. In terms of software AI and camera algorithms would be updated and would be improved with time as Google always does and is a plus for Pixel devices this is what make them exceptional. Samsung is good they initially develop the Tensor but Google took it into another direction by customising it for their devices lineup they know exactly what they are up to ...

S23 looks better, the pixel has some cool features but its just not to the same level. S23 is also way more better with raw photography. Pixel is good for people who are not good at photography

[@bartigermann3531]

Had both in my hands today. Pixel 8 is noticable heavier. Power button is better reachable on the Samsung. Its hard cause i loved my pixel 4a. But i want as compact as possible. I think i go for the s23. Ps: imagine the battery life of the pixel 8 with a Snapdragon.

[@FlubFlubber]

No man, do not do that. Trust me, do not buy the S23. Just wait to the new one or take the S24 ultra. S23 is good phone, i had that phone, good video camera but the zoom is not good, pixel zoom is better. S23 is better for zoom in and out. It is better to wait for S24 or S24 ultra or an iPhone 15 pro max etc... But it is your money :).

[@Tommy-qe6fh]

​@@FlubFlubberstop comparing 8 pro to s23, also 8 gen 2 is way way way better than tensor

[@FlubFlubber]

@@Tommy-qe6fh I have/had both and also the S23 ultra. It is almost februari, then are the new S24 series. About the video camera's: S23 has better quality but both are good, but if a zoom in then the pixl is better. Zoom in and out is the S23 better. In speed is the S23 a bit faster but it is close. My favorite phone is the S23 ultra, that is the best phone i had. I have no money to buy everything. But samsung and Apple are the best but the others came closer. Pixel 8 pro is overall a good phone. But now buying for example 600€ for an S23? Njah man, it is better to wait for the new one and buy the S24 Ultra. :).

I have the pixel 8 pro. Overall it is a good phone. Video recording is good but i think the samsung and iPhone are 1 bit better but yeah, video camera is good enough and the pixel have better zoom then the S23. Photo's are also good. The phone is fast, samsung is a little bit smoother but it is close. I am happy with the pixel 8 pro, it is maybe not the best smartphone but i don't care, it is decent in all things. :).

For the longest time I didn't know what phone to get next to replace my aging OP7T Pro, because OnePlus was getting worse with each software update and I didn't like what Samsung was doing to Android either with their Bixby's and the Samsung store etc... Pixels haven't even been an option, as they haven't really been available here and they've been kinda ugly. But I guess I've gotten used to the looks by now and the operators are bringing it to the market here, even if Google isn't, so the Pixel 8 is starting to feel like a safe bet at this point. These videos make it look like a rather good option 👍

[@mihirkardile6676]

Gonna be honest here. Been a Samsung user for the last 5 years. When I decided to upgrade a few weeks back, I looked at the S23 lineup and I was honestly very let down. As a consumer and as a buyer spending my hard earned money on a phone, the Samsung lineup truly does not feel justified for the price point it's at. When I was looking at options, I really started to double-think everything that I use in a phone and it led me to the realization that most of what Samsung phones offer - it's all just fluff. Apart from Samsung Wallet, they really do not offer much substance. I realized that there's nothing the S23 Ultra can do that my current S20 Ultra (3 years old) can not do (apart from the better cameras). And even with the better cameras, the price difference just is not justified. Specifically not for the S23 and S23+. They literally look the same as the A series phones and they're half the price. The competitive edge that Samsung once had over others, is now diminishing. And they've gotten lazy only focusing on Cameras and bigger phones. The Pixel is a far more exciting device to use. And for the price Pixel is at, it's a no-brainer.

[@dmitriikonovalov7956]

Gonna be honest here. So why do you need an upgrade? If your Galaxy S20 Ultra can do everything the same as phones released in 2023? Do you think that you will use AI in Pixel 8 every day? I assure you, no. A week after the purchase, you will also return to basic needs -> telephone, instant messengers, social networks. And don't tell me you need a pixel 8 camera. You will never in your life guess which smartphone a photo was taken on if this photo is uploaded to any social network. So all this chatter is about some company going downhill and another one has gone far ahead, this is just complete stupidity.

[@mihirkardile6676]

@@dmitriikonovalov7956 this "chatter" is about all the money we're paying companies. Use your phone any way you want to, you're free to do that, but are you really willing to neglect the fact that the difference between phones at different price points is becoming smaller and the hefty price tags aren't fully justified anymore. I'd say you're either very very rich or use your daddy's money. "You will never in your life guess which smartphone a photo was taken on" - so why pay $1000-1500 if $600-700 will also work exactly same? And if this is true, why not "chat" about it. These tech videos exist for the sole purpose of advising consumers on what deserves their money the most. Samsung phones are expensive. Some of the most expensive Android phones actually. And what I think is stupid actually, is not questioning them. If a company's making mid ranged products with a flagship price tags, that's enough to place doubt on what they're doing. If you still think "chatter" about a topic like this is "stupidity" then idk man that's just sad.

[@80skid83]

@@dmitriikonovalov7956 Those phones are still usable but the battery life on them will be dogshit now, even my s21 ultra battery life was bad , a new battery didn't solve the problem meaning the health on old battery wasn't that bad , just the phone has aged .

[@alexisoctavio.2005]

Exactly, finally someone who speaks the truth about the S23 lineup, I recently bought the base S23 and regretted it very badly for the same reasons you mentioned, my parents and my brother have A34s and my S23 looks literally the same(except for the front). Worst thing is that the Z Flip5(which I actually preferred) was just $90 more where I bought the S23 but because I stupidly listened to people recommending the S23 over the Flip5, I'm now stuck with a glorified A54 that's gonna be replaced by the S24 soon🤡

[@iulianbosneanu]

@@alexisoctavio.2005 you regret buying the S23 because it looks just like a glorified A54? Man, with all my respect, it's not healthy to buy a phone just to show off. Samsung are not stupid. Most of their users don't want people to see if they are rich or not. All that counts is what you can do with the phone. With S23 you can do anything you can imagine. The pixel 8 has some marketing bullshit that people will use first days, and after they will forget about it, because people just take a pic, and after another, and look at them next month. maybe you like to take pictures and play with them so in the end nobody will have the eyes shut, but that is the beauty of this, the imperfections make a picture perfect. If you really want true colour and feel the need to edit photos, go for the new sony. A lot better in any situation that the pixel with all his marketing b shit. By the way, the AI processing doesn't always work, and all your pictures will go in google cloud to modify them, in a time where everybody cries about lack of privacy. Every person will buy what is best for them, but when i see people that don't buy a phone because people will think he has a lower priced phone, makes me crazy.

[@murderousguitar6133]

Best take is available on pixel 8 , same with the pro variant.

[@user-jgn1944]

You know. 19 grams is only around half an ounce. Not really Noticeable.is it?

[@leobroski94]

Pixel 8 has outdated hardware. UFS 3.1 storage only instead of UFS 4.0 like in the S23 256GB version, optical fingerprint sensor instead of the faster ultrasonic one on the S23, the UBS-C port of the Pixel still doesn't support display out and there is no alternative for Samsung DeX. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is still faster and more efficient than the Tensor in the Pixel 8 which is produced by Samsung, actually most components in the Pixel 8 are from Samsung. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will be out soon and the Tensor will look even worse in comparison. Battery life on my S23 is definitely better than on the Pixel 8, most other tests confirm that. S23 also runs smoother while scrolling and apps open slightly faster and especially cooler altogether. Tensor chips, which are based on Samsung's Exynos chips are known to be less efficient and having heat management problems, which is probably why Samsung switched to the Snapdragon in the first place. The Pixel could be much better with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 or 3, that's just a fact. The Face Unlock function on the Pixel 8 doesnt work when it's dark, even in dimly lit environments it already couldnt recognise me anymore. Most of the AI features, most of which are only gimmicks to me by the way, will be available on the S23 soon too when the Android 14 update drops. All in all, it's hard to recommend the Pixel 8 over the S23, especially since the S23 is cheaper, in Germany around 150€ actually at this point. The Pixel has outdated hardware now already, that just doesn't make sense since Google is trying to lure people into buying it with the 7 years of updates promise, which is only a promise at this point. Who will actually use a smartphone for the next 7 years? If it were at least easy to swap the battery on the Pixel 8, but it's not. Who knows what will be with the smartphone market in 3, 4 or 5 years...

[@karmadel786]

Thankyou for your input... appreciated 🫶🏾

[@KasKade7]

Exactly, it always amazes me that people look at 7 years support and buy it for that. Like they don't have any sense of time. The special features, cameras and speeds that will be available in 2030. 95%+ will have bought a new phone in 7 years for sure. The S23 lineup this year is very very good. Especially, considering prices going down fast. Already seeing 128mb version going for around €500. When s24 comes out, much lower. Honestly, s23 lineup is king of 2023 imho. Then again, people buy inferior technology all the time, just to be different or stuck to certain eco systems.

[@emmanuelohioleomoruan8263]

You compared numbers until it got to 7 years of OS updates, then numbers didn't matter again because "no one uses their phone for 7 years" You're biased.

[@leobroski94]

@emmanuelohioleomoruan8263 I'm biased? I have the Pixel here and I'm considering to trade in my S23 for it, but the Pixel is unfortunately not as convincing as it could be and 7 years of update promises doesn't change that.
