Thank you my boy, very helpful and very well done. Good quality video. Try and have the phones next to each other more. Bring able to look at them at the same time is helpful.

I had both s23 and Pixel. Both phones are great, but it also comes down to personal preference; Samsung's One UI is a lot more customizable and battery life is pretty solid with its Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor. Pixel 8 ( currently using), is a great phone too, no bloatware, the screens peek brightness is higher when you take it outdoors. Battery life probably was the best at first, but once adaptive battery starts working ehich could take a few weeks to learn your patterns, it get a bit better day by day. So it really all depends on your personal needs and wants in a phone.

Hey man, i heard the pixel 8 has some issues with scrolling in certain apps. That it seems laggier than it should be scrolling in for example the play store. Do you also have this issue?

Ive had both, but I personally prefer the pixel, its not a power house like the s23 line, but its plenty for a PHONE. I look at the pixel as the honda civic of phones, affordable, reliable, but mundane. The s23 line is like acura in my opinion. Same chassis, same concepts, but arguably more luxery and faster.

Thanks for the great comparison, appreciate it. Do you still recommend the Pixel 8 with the new display issues popping up? I was really looking forward to getting a P8 (already own P7) since its perfect for all round but the display issues have me worried.

Loved your very detailed comparison.

Hey, thanks for comparing the two regular smallish phones in the Android world. If somebody got the pixel at the $550 Black Friday sale they got a good deal. That phone is way worth that. And you're right, I wouldn't buy the s23 right now with the s24 about to drop in a month or so.

You can change the processing of s23 pictures. Of course it's not that comfortable but it in combination with the telescopic lense, I prefer the s23. I think both phones are very close and it depends on personal preferences in nearly every aspect.

The camera, call screening, hold for me, direct my call are features I found myself using ALOT. Now Playing is a nice touch as well. Modem wise, I have not noticed anything major between the X70 modem and the Exynos 5300. Zero drop calls between them but I have noticed the speeds are a bit faster on the S23's (also Flip5 for reference) than the 5300. Other than that, coverage wise have been about the same in my area.

Superb review - Thanks. Built in VPN? Not good enough. Which servers? Run by whom? How Secure? How fast are the servers? And, where is the VPN based. The U.S. ICE etc, have a lot of power to access data from VPN's based int the States. The user would never know they were being monitored. Here's a fun fact. When VPN's were first around and before we had the providers of today, countries like Russia and China set up free ones on the web. There was no I.D. and so no one knew who was running them. Of course they read and checked everything! Folk should get past the term VPN and check out what they are using. There are browsers with free VPN now, and many of them are not true VPN at all. The term VPN means nothing.

Do you understand Brand equity? Its better you guys rollout the updates and security patches time to time inorder to prevent vulnerabilities and stability. Instead of experimenting and then recalling the devices of the market .

Pixel 7 or pixel 6pro which one to buy

I got S23 for Christmas and it's going back to Samsung tomorrow. My main issue apart from the clustered and messy UI and duplicate and unnecessary apps are the cameras. The selfie camera is damn good, video recording seems OK, but the rear main camera is the problem here. It oversaturizes and oversharpens pictures. Turning off scene optimizer helps, but there is noticeable noise in the photos especially in the indoor photos. Lack of details when zoomed in too. It has significant lense flare, night photos below average and lit-up too much artificially. And the worst is how the camera handles the faces of people. If you're white, you will end up with pale white smoothened skin looking like you're wearing a make-up. All the details like wrinkles, freckles just disappear from your face making you look like a boy with a plastic face, even when you turn down face smoothening in options to zero, it still does it. My girlfriend, who has dark skin, looks like an orange in every photo for a change. A £900 pounds Samsung flagship phone that cannot even get the colours right. The cameras also struggle with moving objects. This is not a phone for families with small kids that run around. It can manage OK in good light conditions, but once cloudy or indoor everything moving becomes blurry. The phone has nice display and is fast, but the photos are a dealbreaker for me. If you like to take realistic coloured photos, avoid S23 like a plague. This is a phone for showing off pictures on social media.

In Serbia, the price is similar, Pixels are rare in Serbia. But i use S23 from March and I think is awsome. Battery hold me all day and ends for 30-40%. In terms of system upgrades, I think that 7 years on a Pixel is a lot, because who will use the phone for 7 years, maybe 4, and even that is a lot, the battery will degrade and after 4 years it will be more expensive to replace than the price of the phone. So I support Pixel, but my vote goes to S23. I like the anatomy, that it doesn't get in the way in the pocket, and the design is more of a premium mango on a pixel phone, which I had a chance to try.

The Blu Bold N3 has the same specs but only 8gb of ram for 300$ too.

A very much biased review for the newer shinier device. I hv been a pixel fan boy with pixel 2xl, pixel 4a, pixel 6 and then pixel 7. I have been waiting for basic features to come to picel for some time now and ended up shifting to s23 recently. Most of the pixel exclusive features are half baked and only available in the US. Camera has been too natural and muted requiring frequent editing prior to posting, ui is awesome but buggy (android 14 is much better but still buggy), extreme heating during video calls and other basic tasks. Weirdly google assistant works better in s23 (atleast for english India), one ui 6 is ultimate, ui of phone app, settings, messages etc looks much better on s23, dynamic color is much better implemented on s23, significantly better reception, no heating issues, loooot more useful customizations etc. makes s23 the clear choice. Granted I don't have hands on with pixel 8 but there are much lesser compromises with s23 for almost the same price. Also, based on how long google takes to add basic features on pixel, samsung is clearly more focused and prioritises their mobile hardware which makes you bet on their ecosystem when compared to google.

Takes 15 secs or so to process. Upcoming video boost will work like this as well. Nothing will happen on device but they excluded that feature from regular pixel just to look 8 Pro good. Google is greedy. They are selling an underpowered device with shitty modem at a premium price. Your opinion is just too biased. Be honest with the fact.

I never thought I'd say this but I actually prefer the styling of Samsung these days. The Z Flip is amazing, the S series is slick and looks good, meanwhile that "camera bar" on the Pixels is just ugly to me, and it's the phone's defining feature.

@JB-ye4ms what things are better? The call screening and still photos? The software features are practically useless, especially considering that the heavy-duty AI features have to be backed up and rendered through a cloud server. BTW, there isn't a ton of bloatwsre when you can remove the apps.

@JB-ye4ms First of all, the s23+ doesn't need a bigger battery ,because I'm already getting 9+ hours of screen on time, while my mobile hotspot is running. Secondly, you can call it bloatware all you want, but as I said, most of these apps can be deleted and you're talking about taking six seconds to set an alarm? Thirdly, you mention useless features while the pixel's best features are call screening and photo editing features that have to be done on a cloud server. The developer setting is maybe like a page long max. Lastly, Bixby modes and routines aren't just setting an alarm. When my mode cuts on at night, it sets an alarm, cuts off location, cuts off camera and microphone access, dims the brightness, turns on blue light shield, turns down the volume, cuts on power saving mode, and limits the charging speed so it doesn't hurt the battery life while charging over night. That's literally just 1 routine. I have other routines that activate upon arrival or departure of a certain radius of a chosen destination. It's cool if you like pixel more, but at this point, it feels like pixel fans are just trying to lie about the phone to get more people to buy it.

@JB-ye4ms there literally s23+'s right now going for 800 new and about 500 to 700 refurbished. Also, if you actually had a galaxy or an iPhone, you could've gotten a way better trade-in deal and shaved off at least like 300 bucks. Pixels don't have good trade in value, the trade in value looks good because their phones are cheap, and they give deals on them after the fact. Cheap doesn't always mean good.

@JB-ye4ms and yet I said the s23+ at MINIMUM would have a 300 dollar trade in value. Even gamestop has the trade-in value set at 300 dollars, and they only give you 30% back for your trade at the maximum. Currently, with Verizon or any other major company, you get at least 600 dollars in trade in value for the s23+. I don't know why you're having a hard time accepting this when pixel has been proven to have inferior hardware.

Pixel anytime and anyday ,still rocking my pixel 5

@@CallMeKJOS I watched the video but you just said that it is "old". I know the smartphone world. But this year hasn't even ended yet and the phone is not "old". The s24 is not out yet. So how could it be "old". The s20 is old. The s21 is sort of old. If you want to go that route, the pixel 8 processor is "old". Just in a different name.

He's saying buy the 8 or wait on the s24. It might not make sense to buy the s23 @799 for the base model with slow storage vs. the pixel @699

S23 is way better then pixel interms of performance, camera and design. S23 outclass pixel 8

There's no competition. S23, pixels get bad signal and always have.

I had several Samsung models, currently I have an S23 and for me the Samsung cameras are average, they saturate the colors too much. I want the photo to be what my eye sees, so I would choose the Pixel 8 without hesitation. Greetings from Poland

I bought it used dor 514$ cad on Amazon

It feel like Google sponsor this video

And slow charging

Here is my brutally honest opinion...the s23 has better battery, modem for connectivity, software support with way more features, better charging speed, stable UI, less overheating. I don't care much for AI stuff because all fake. Even though I like pixel still picture better but it is all subjective and personal choice. As an OVERALL package, Samsung is better. Reliability is way more important than anything else.

​@2013TombRaider lol my s23+ got 9 hours of screen on time today and l took it off the charger at 2 in the morning. It also has smart things which can connect to and control smart accessories and smart appliances. I've seen people literally program their desk lights to turn on and off with s pen air gestures. One-handed operation and sasmung dex. Also one ui 6 is way more stable so idk how you guys disagree. The pixel can't even perform most of its heavy tasks or AI features natively. You literally have to connect to a cloud server to render anything. That's just the start of it.
