I recently purchased the S23+. Was debating between it and the 7 Pro, or even waiting for the Pixel 8 Pro. I ultimately decided to get the S23+ due to a deal going on. My biggest requirement was a good battery life and camera, and I can say the S23+ is doing fantastic so far. The issue with the Pixel series is the abysmal battery life and software issues/bugs which ultimately lead me away from it.
I think if you want a Pixel, wait until the 8 series comes out as hopefully Google will improve efficiency with their Tensor 3 chip. The flat screen on the 8 Pro vs the 7 Pro is also a big plus in my opinion. Otherwise, if you need a phone now then I would recommend the S23 series over Google's offerings.
I appreciate the insight. I have that same feeling with Google. I want to like their phones and I appreciate the cleaner OS, but Samsung is doing so well lately it's hard to debate. They have better battery, more features, and cameras that are comparable. It seems like they have a winning formula on their hands.
