Great review as always! I don't think you can go wrong with either one.The S23U has the SD Gen2. It would be a great review revisit again once the 8Pro has got the Dec feature drop and also once you get a hold of the S24U to do a 3 way comparison.

I have the 8 pro , I have mixed results with the finger print sensor and the Face ID to the point of it being annoying , as opposed to my iPhones x2 which just works 99.99999 % of the time , maybe my pixel units a bit weird , but still, regardless of what it may do well , that annoyance that pops up fairly often, just takes the edge right off it , kinda thinking I picked the wrong phone, even the eraser feature …… very hit and miss, you have to have the right circumstances for it to work to an acceptable level. It seems to run well otherwise, no over heating in my limited use , side by side along side my 14 pro max, I prefer the pro max and it’s chunkier body , the general iPhone UI seems a bit more refined to me. In the end they are both just phones , , both have strengths and weaknesses , it’s up you the user which they prefer.

@@ancientslav4863Meh, most people don't care about gaming and aren't power users so it takes most that away. I just care about day to day tasks and the screen is pretty much the same except pixel gets brighter which can be more useful for many, battery life is fine still on the pixel, front design is subjective and plenty may say pixel looks better there (I'm starting to think I actually prefer pixel's U), P8P has less bloatware, mic is DEFINITELY better on the Samsung though so if videos are your thing I'm going either apple (as they do video best) or s23/24. I don't think S23 is a complete package. I definitely prefer P8P photos as, Samsung sucks with skin tones and makes folks look orange and unrealistic. Pixel definitely takes it for me there. For the average Joe Google actually has some great built in features S23u does not like VPN, hold my call, unblur, and tons of nice AI and QoL life features in general. Plus 7 years of support. So, I respect the line up. It's a toss up for me for now. I'm waiting on s24 before I make a switch either way.

I understand exactly what you're saying about the added size due to the square corners of the last 2 Samsung Ultras. I have kept my S21 Ultra (along with a Pixel 7) exactly because of that reason. The S21 Ultra is big enough, the new ones are just too much for me to lug around. Guess I'm going to wait a year or so and sell both of mine and get the latest Pixel Pro. My other thought is going to a flip flagship smartphone. Obviously choices are slim in the US now, Samsung or Motorola. I'm praying that a flagship flip phone is next on Google's to-do list 🙏🤞.

They are both awesome phones, however I tend to lean towards the Pixel mainly because Google creates Android and their optimization of software to hardware is much better in my opinion. Also, remember that zooming into 100X zoom on Pixel may not be initially that sharp, but Google's AI tricks can sharpen those blurred images with Photo Unblur, making for a much better image.

One thing most reviewers failed to address is connectivity issues. Even though phones have great features and camera but is still a phone and it still needs to make calls and connect to data. I want to know more about the modem. I want to know if a phone is able to make calls and text and receive data when I go to a rural or remote area. The pixel lineup has been inconsistent in that department. I am still using Samsung phones just because how strong and reliable their modem is.

It's not Google, it's Samsung.

@chrisparmer4983 8 месяцев назад

My take is that if modems are the least talked about it seems that it is most likely a weak point of the phone. Many of these reviews are basically sales pitches for gimmicks that I often don't use or at best only use at first and find out that it really isn't useful. My modem in the Samsung S23 Ultra is probably the most efficient and reliable. My only gripe with the S23 Ultra is I wish it had a 6.1" size with the same premium specs, I would prefer a phone that is actually pocketable.

I have a unique perspective. I had a pixel 7 Pro, bought an S23 ultra in August, and just sold the S23 and got the pixel 8 Pro. Both phones are amazing. However, the pixel experience is just better. In my opinion. The features that the S23 has are features I don't really use. I don't use Dex, I don't use the stylus often, I don't use the side panels. The features that Google offers I use all the time. The way it is instantly identifying songs on your lock screen, call screening, hold for me, the AI features with the camera. They are all features. Features I use all the time and that when you leave a Google phone you miss. Just my opinion but I am happy I went back to the pixel 8 Pro. It made a huge jump over the seven pro.

How do you know that someone doesn't use a Samsung phone, they don't know the Galaxy phone has settings to turn down the punchiness, as well as the natural setting on the display.

@lsaideOK 8 месяцев назад

@@SuperYankeechick I'm glad you can compensate for the awfulness of the default setting. But most people are not going to dive into the settings to take pictures. I'm talking about a head-to-head comparison using the phone as it is intended for the average consumer. I wouldn't tell someone hey, buy the phone and then figure out how to bypass the default settings. As an example, my friend has no interest in doing that.

As a photographer who's used both the pixel 7 and s23 ultra I can always recommend the galaxy for its versatility and computational raw. The video on the s23 ultra is also more consistent at 4k 30

Which phone had better haptics? Upgrading this year from a Note 10 plus which still runs like a champ. On the fence between team pixel or s23 ultra.

got note 10plus,n20u and s23u. i set all 3 of them on 2k 60hz screen. they all run the same. maybe the battery on my exynos note10plus is weaker and it heats faster than usa version of note20u and s23u

@@onikagolden the pixel 8 pro has grown on me. I am liking it more now. Still miss one UI and the better multi tasking setup but am enjoying the different phone experience and the AI features which are expanding with updates. No regrets. Glad I gave pixel a try. Rest of the family upgraded from iPhone 11 to 15 pro and they said it's the same 💩😅😂🤣.

I have s23 ultra and my wife has pixel 8. To be honest, I personally like the photos shot by pixel. My skin tone is a bit red in the photos shot by S23 ultra. Other than the camera, for everything else, I like s23 ultra.

I may look at a Google phone in a few more years. The rounded features seem dated to me and it seems like Google is just trying to keep up with Samsung still.

Just had S23 Ultra and now P8 Pro. Samsung's bloatware, double app stores.. is just too much. Pixel is more "minimalistic" and simple. And now hardware is also at good level.

I will assume the type of person that watches Tech Reviews, upgrades their phone Way more often than every seven years. I think this Perk of seven years of updates sounds nice but who is the audience that is getting all excited about using a phone for Seven years? I sold my last pixel because the fingerprint reader was So poor, looks to be the same affair here. Pixels are all about the Experience, they say, well then they need to make that experience flawless to really compete in the space. I have owned many pixels and nexus phones over the years, and the promise of the Experience being different and, better, on Pixel devices, often times does not make up for the lack of, or downgraded hardware. Google would do well with these, but only in the $799-499 price range. Outside of that, it will be a challenge with the current and shortly forth coming devices right around the corner.
