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.

    Those using Samsung, how do you get around the bloatware and redundant apps? I agree that Samsung typically has better hardware. Before they locked their bootloader I used them exclusively with custom roms to get a clean android experience. The Pixel line tends to only include the Google apps with no extra third party apps. Getting access to the latest Android versions on releases is also a big plus for me.

      I just ignore them. If they pop up with any notifications I disable those.

      Disable them and hide them using a custom launcher. For what it’s worth, I like Samsung’s changes over stock Android (especially post-Material 3) to use a Pixel. It also helps that I’m using a Fold and Samsung has the best software features of any foldable.
