Google Pixel 8 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra | Camera, Gaming, Battery & Beyond!

Ғылым және технология

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!

    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.

    @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. The bugs or lag is not there and the updates are miles better on samsung.

    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! 👌🏻❤️

But i can get an s23 ultra for 300$ less than 8 pro, while pixel 8 pro does comes with the pixel watch 2. Does the software of pixel still justify the price or should i go for s23 ultra?

    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.
