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.

    I went from Samsung S10+ to a pixel 5 which was a huge upgrade. Pixel 5 to pixel 7 pro was a considerably bigger downgrade. After my experience, I’m at least a few generations and a lot of reviews between my next pixel or tensor phone.

    P7P:

    • overheats with light use

    • between 1/2 and 1 days battery life

    • persistent screen glare

    • worst android UI I’ve seen since maybe my galaxy s3? Genuinely so long I can’t even really be sure.

    • terrible build materials. Mad slippy and will break if dropped even a small distance

    • worst fingerprint sensor I’ve used.

    • most limited customization of any android in recent memory, combined with awful stock ux

        I got it in-store from best buy not long after launch, seems unlikely it would be a fake, especially when all the advertised exclusive features work (call screen, magic eraser etc).
