Can anyone help me understand how close the performance and battery life is between the three phones? I’m in the USA so the chip will be Qualcomm between the Samsung models.
My wife and I are trying to decide if we need the latest and greatest or if we should save some money. But, I wanted to know the trade offs.
Any perspectives on how they perform, the battery, the features, the longevity would be greatly appreciated!
Well comes down to your personal preference and that can take some time to develop.
If you want opinions on devices from other users then that’s what we are here for.
I’ve used many different devices as I use to get to play with plenty of phones and a tablets some I have purchased as well
If you want the same feeling of ecosystem then Samsung devices are the leader for Android with Google coming second. This is when you are comparing with the Apple Ecosystem.
Well here are my few thoughts on Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel.
Camera: Google Pixel for Still Photos is one of the best on the market Everything else Samsung Galaxy. I find that Samsung over processes the photos to make it look great on their devices. Take the same photo outside of Samsung and it will look different.
Battery Life: Samsung Devices with the slight edge if you get the S23 Ultra then that will be better for battery life. However, both brands for me will last the day easily which is what I ask for in all my devices.
Features (including exclusive features): If you want to screen your calls then it’s Google Pixel it has made SPAM calls become less and less over time.
Using HDMI to TV or Monitor (for me) Samsung Galaxy takes it for this one. Pixel doesn’t support HDMI output if you’re using a USB-C to HDMI. You have to use a DisplayLink Dock in order to have this the amount of times I’ve gone to a Hotel and just want to plug into a HDMI port instead of using Chromecast over the Hotel WiFI connection for privacy reasons makes me sad on a pixel. This is why I still have a Samsung Galaxy Tab in my travel kit.
There are plenty more but the post will be super long… and if you’re read this far then you are more patient then others. Hope this helps
Thank you for the very detailed and thoughtful response. A camera is important to me but the battery life is one of the most important given the fact that most other features are equal on both devices.
The real question is would a base S23 have better battery and brighter screen than a Pixel 7 Pro?
We got a base S23 via our carrier for no additional charge. I have a 7 pro and used the S23 for a few days and for my usage, the battery life was significantly better.
Wow! That’s really impressive given the size difference of the batteries. You would think that the Pixel would have longer life even with a less efficient chip.

The Base s23 is brighter than the Pixel 7 Pro in certain environments. For the normal users won’t notice it if you are coming from an older device.
