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.

    Though not as bad as what it used to be (see touchwiz) and now there are several Samsung only things from GoodLock and gestures that pixels DON’T have that would severely limit my daily workflow so you have to find what is best for you and what you want.

      I simply cannot function anymore without one hand operations+ replacing the system gestures completely.

      The complete ui colour customisation is also pretty nice. I really hate that damp moldy grey that stock android wants to present as dark mode

        Third party apps like nova cannot go that deep into the system like good lock. You couldnt realy use nova and have great navigation animations for example.

        I love my samsung devices as a poweruser because you can customize much more and they offer really useful tools which are missing when one uses vanilla android.

        Also I would really miss the option to use smart tags which still arent available for pixel devices.
