Comparing Google's Pixel 8 Pro vs Samsung's Galaxy S23 Ultra, with a review of the camera tech, battery life, gaming performance and more. Full Pixel 8 Pro review incoming but here's how it stacks up to the Samsung S23 Ultra after one week. It's a tough choice between these best Android phones!
That camera hardware is very different, as is the post-processing that happens behind the scenes. Likewise, while the Pixel 8 Pro benefits from Google's new AI editing tools, the Galaxy S23 Ultra is more old school.
Samsung's OneUI launcher changes up Android quite a lot too. I prefer that stock Google experience, although the Pixel 8 Pro doesn't have an S Pen stylus or DEX. The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra also boasts better gaming performance, vs the Tensor G3.
Battery life is a close run thing however, and as for the camera results, that's all a matter of personal preference. The Pixel 8 Pro is still a champion, despite some small glitches here and there. Meanwhile the Samsung S23 Ultra produces bolder photos, and both phones smash it for 4K video.
So which smartphone do you prefer, the Google Pixel 8 Pro or that Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra? Let us know your pick below!

Great video. An awesome feature that a lot of people don’t know about, the front facing camera on the pixel 8 pro is more secure, as it can now be used while approving payments and to login on bank apps, etc. awesome feature being they are only using the single camera and machine learning!

I think the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is more of an all-round device in comparison to the Google Pixel 8 Pro. The Magic Editing functionality of the Pixel 8 Pro is certainly compelling. I would be inclined to have them both. Work phone, and private phone. Anyone looking to upgrade ought to wait for the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra as the speculations are looking rather compelling.

The pixel 8 pro is so much thicker than the 7 pro. Reason why I'll send it back. It's even heavier. I put it on a scale

@jordanjackson8873 8 месяцев назад

@lamar310 idk the chip being powerful was more than enough on top of them polishing samsung dex. It doesn't apply to everyone, but the phone got turned into an absolute monster of a unit with the little changes and differences. If they can manage to do something about competing with face time and fixing the auto correct, then they'll dominate the market. They just don't advertise the best features enough. Most phones haven't changed because we're damn near at a pinnacle unless we have some major breakthroughs.

Thr smoothness factor that everyone harps on can be controlled down to the last detail in settings and makes for a smoother experience than even iPhone.

@Lynn-zw7dr 5 месяцев назад

I'm a nearly 72 year old trying to be techy, the camera is important to me. I had the 6/7 Pro's, then 15 Pro Max, now 8 Pro. The 8 Pro out does the camera on the 15 Pro Max, but yah know what, my old 4XL had as good a camera in my opinion, it was brilliant. I'll find indoor shots too dark on the 8 Pro and not as good as the 7 Pro were, even though the lenses are bigger and supposedly allow more light in, weird! I like a lot of the features on the 8 Pro, the Android experience is good. I havent had a samsung phone since the galaxy 7 I think it was, i didn't rate it much. I'm just wondering what the 24 ultra will be like now, I like the idea of the S Pen. Cheers for this from Devon UK Happy new year! 👌🏻❤️

My s23u drains like 15 to 20 percent for an hour of SoT with nominal use since the recent updates. Anyone else facing the same?

@crazytech4930 8 месяцев назад

If u replace your phone every year or other year, Samsung should be the best choice due to very high trade in value.

@ace0341 8 месяцев назад

its left to be seen how the trade in value for pixel phones are maybe they will hold their value longer since the 8 series gets 7 years of updates

@pittmanx6 8 месяцев назад

If all things are relatively close and it comes down to software experroence then it seems Pixel takes the cake. Unadulterated Android is the best Android and additional smart features like screen call just push it right over that edge.

@ancientslav4863 7 месяцев назад

Not to mention the screen and design on the s23u is much better. Speakers and battery life are leaps better also

@ancientslav4863 Месяц назад

P8P - brighter screen, kinda more natural photos S23u - everything else, especially screen looks, battery life, and speakers

The slightly new glass brick and the other slightly new glass brick! I think I'm gonna stick with my older glass brick for now, but if I was to choose one of these new glass bricks, I'd choose the glass brick!

S23 ultra is the more powerful device but it also costs somewhat 200 more pounds than the pixel 8 pro.

Samsung offers the Dual SIM slot, which is still huge for those of us who own a personal and a work SIM card. Also, slightly better battery life, doesn't get dangerously hot as I've heard some of the Pixels do, has the pen thingy to work with, and the Dex system (I have it on my S8 Pro Tablet and find it useful). But... the Pixel 8 certainly looks more comfortable to hold, not so "boring/professional" and the software also looks cooler. Plus those AI perks to video and audio editing that are looking really interesting. Also, the 7-year update range (although 5 years is more than enough for a person to get bored of a phone). Damn. I guess waiting for Samsung S24 before making a decision might be the wisest choice. BTW I have a Huawei P30Pro and still love it, works great after almost 5 years.

With the Pixel 8, if you have a carrier that can take advantage of eSIM, then you can still take advantage of dual SIM as well. And so far the 8 has been doing much better as far as thermals vs the older Pixel 6 and 7.

I've had my Huawei p30pro for nearly 4 years and it hasn't let me down once, still runs like new with no problems whatsoever.. my contract runs out next month and I'm looking at what to get and I just can't decide! I've lost all interest in other phones specs since I've started using my Huawei

@plumrico7397 3 месяца назад

I have the Huawei P30 Pro and it is the best phone I've ever had and would still be using it even with it's couple of slight cracks, however the USB slot has given way and the cable constantly falls out and my Android Auto hates it. Torn between the S23U and GP8P but the looks of the Samsung are so slick even with the corners that may be a bit pokey on the hands. Pricewise about the same now, but O2 are offering the Google Watch (I already have an older Samsung watch) Decisions, Decisions!!!

Upgraded from the s23 plus to Pixel 8 pro. The pixel 8 pro is an amazing phone and impressive upgrade features when compared to the s23. Two major disappointments for me however are battery life and charging speed, especially when compared to the galaxy devices

@@asademoscaif it's in your budget, get the s23u. I've upgraded from the s23+ to the ultra and that was a major difference when it came to speed, battery life and so much more. S23+ is a great phone don't get me wrong but the ultra is a monster.

@@thackythacstop complaining. They halted the release of android 14 on samsung devices in the US so they can optimize and polish it. We literally get the updates at their peak in the US. I've seen people have small complaints and concerns since it has been out and the US doesn't play that.
