If I buy the best that either company has to offer (Pixel 8 pro or S23 Ultra)

Which one, in your opinion, would be the best Android experience and why? Would love to know your thoughts.

    I can see a reason to get either a pixel or Samsung, can’t really go wrong with either. Personally I use a Samsung for the customization of OneUI and better processors but occasionally I do envy the camera on a pixel phone and the stock android layout. Main advice if you were to get either is to try to buy it used instead of new.

        Samsung has a set of tools called good lock, where you can customise OneUI with such ease. The only thing I miss about my pixel is the weather and which song is playing on the AOD screen. Now samsung allows widgets on AOD buts it not the same thing.

        Just a few examples I use on my S23:

        • Hiding the alarm and VPN icons from the status bar
        • Charging the battery to only 85%
        • Rearranging/deleting the camera mode favorite buttons (Photo, Night Mode, Video, …)
        • Creating folders in the app drawer of the default launcher
        • Option to customize the long press of the power button (I set mine to the flashlight)

            All phones have this. What you see as 100% is not absolute maximum capacity.

              It’s not 85% either
