    I went pixel 8 pro and returned cause the battery was terrible. Also not as smooth as iPhone. Don’t recommend

    iPhone 15 because iPhones always have amazing constant performance and camera . I also returned my pixel 8 pro for iPhone 15 plus . Android is ok but everything feels unfinished or lacking the polish I expect

    Pixel probably have some discounts this week if you are from USA. Get a 8 pro or something. But if you have money to burn, get 15 pro or something

    Either one will be great.

    Play with the Pixel in a store before making your decision.

    They are both good. Decide if you want android or iOS. Nobody can make that decision for you.

    Why pixel and not s23?

    Below only the pros and cons according to me:

    Iphone’s pros: 1. the same os, 2. same account, 3. Ecosystem, if you have any other apple products 4. probably longer support, higher resale price.

    iphone’s cons: 1. 60hz 2. A lot of the cool stuff is locked behind a more expensive model, forcing you into buying a pro model to get the best device (used to be different; every iphone was a flagship) 3. Notifications (probably not a problem to you) 4. Keyboard (probably not a problem to you)

    Pixel’s pros: 1. At the moment probably the best camera on a phone with android os 2. Clean android 3. The notifications and the keyboard are g.o.a.t. 4. Competition drives companies to provide better products fpr a lover price, so you would be able to buy 100$ buds or 150$ smartwatch and those things will be amazing. Prices in general are great and the selection of accessories will guarantee you can buy whatever you want. 5. You can develop stuff for an android phone on any machine, no need to have a mac like with xcode.

    Pixel’s cons: 1. Moving from ios to android is not easy, if you have a lot of data shared with apple. 2. Google loves to cancel projects, i honestly do not feel comfortable with a phone from them. 3. Resale value will be like 150$ in 4 years when you would want to upgrade. 5. Price is higher compared to other companies with similar products.

    If you want an android, i’d say the best phone when it comes to price/value is galaxy s23. This thing will be gtx 1080 for samsung.
