Hi everyone,
Currently looking at either a Pixel 8 or a S23 as a replacement for my Zenfone 8 that is slowly becoming a hindrence due to (primarily) the battery. I would replace it, but as it costs a lot to do that here and I have needs for a non-compromised water protection DIY feels like a dangerous option.
So S23 vs Pixel 8, what would you guys recommend assuming I can get either for the same price?
I like the S23 hardware a bit better on paper, but as Pixel phones generally are very flashable my anti-Google sentiments might (ironically) push me there.
I would get a fairphone 5 for the hot-swappable battery etc if they weren’t so expensive for what you get, and as Im buying second hand reuse is better for the environment anyways.
Samsung is full of Spyware and ads. Pixel, not sure.
But I would seriously consider Motorola since the Edge 30 is fantastic. Great battery time, no Spyware, everything just works.
I’m starting to think that samsung pays reviewers since they are always at the top, but are shitty phones.
Never had a single ad on any Galaxy phone I’ve owned and that’s probably the last 5 or 6. I’ve also had a few pixels mixed in.
They’re far from shitty phones. Great battery life, great performance , great cameras… have you ever actually used one and compared it, or are you just regurgitating crap you hear.
Depending on where you are, a Chinese lenovoPhone carries a lot of fearful connotations.
