Pls start putting chapters in your videos.

You can't go wrong with either both have their own magic ✨ I seriously like them both but if I were buying one today I'd buy Google Pixel 7 for the camera.

Hardware wise.. I think the S23 might be the best phone ever made design/size. Once you go Pixel you can't go back to Samsung software and having double calendar apps/dialers etc. it just feels so messy compared to the clean and smooth Pixel expirience.

In Europe it's not even close between these two: one sells for 600 (sometimes less), the other for 850 at best

Well said, I have great respect for what Pixels can do when it comes to camera software, especially pictures.

Please give your thoughts on the OPPO Find X6 Pro . (Even though you don't have the phone) I am so impressed with the specs on all 3 cameras. 1 inch main sensor . And the Ultrawide and Telephoto lenses both have an Identical 1/1.56 sensor ( same size as the main camera on the Samsung S23 and S23+ !)

why is the magic eraser always mentioned when it comes to pixel advantages? samsung also has a magic eraser!

You mentioned something about slow shutter speed on the s23. Is this fixed or noticeably better on the s24 now?

Good topic and thanks. Want to see the P7P vs S23U

Own both - agree with most of what you said - S23 X70 modem is awesome. I do also like the smaller / lighter form factor of the S23.

I gave the Pixel 7 a try after using an S8+ since release before returning it after a day. I really didn't like how less customizable it was. And the splitscreen feature (App Pairs?) was a straight up downgrade. I couldn't change the nav button locations. A lot of little things in the UI just took extra effort to do compared to a ~6 year old phone. I understand people want simplicity but to me having options to customize your phone just the way you like it will always be more valuable.

Ive got the pixel 7 atm but it keep lagging thinking of swapping it for the s23 would i struggle with the size difference??

What about audio on headphones or stand alone speakers? I find audio quality higher on Pixel 7 than on iPhone 13 pro ( I don't mean build in speakers)

Pixel 5 owner here - my little one destroyed my pixel 5 and I've been on the hunt for a new phone for the past week. I've narrowed my choices down to the S23 base (dimensions are comparable to the pixel 5), Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro. I wish I could load vanilla Google android on the S23; I know you can run launchers and themes, but it's more unnecessary bloatware IMO. One of the key features I want to retain from Google, is screen calling and I can't seem to get a lot of info from people on Bixby's variant yet. Would be interested to hear if you've had any further progress playing with Bixby Text Call since making this video. Appreciate the video as well as a few others you've made, enjoying your content!

you should do a Pixel 7 (vanilla) vs 6 Pro. In Europe they can be had for the same price

I am confused between the Pixel 7 at $500 for the 128 version and the regular S23 for the 256 version at $710, or do you recommend another phone in the same price category?

what about Google Pixel 7 vs Samsung A54 coming out? Pixel 7 with an aggressive phone trade in has me at $150 total for the entry Pixel 7...a steal right? Is it worth moving up to A54, with S23 not in budget, just to get UI? I also have Samsung Tab 7 and am getting the Pixel 5 Pro watch...

Thank you buddy!!! it's been a poo day. I needed real info. I received it here.

I've had the Pixel 7 since its launch. It's ok, but I still feel like its a compromise phone. Will probably go back to a Galaxy in the future

Having had both phones, I preferred the Pixel 7.

I have a Galaxy S21 that has not yet received the 7-1-2023 security patch! I question Samsung's deployment speed with security patches. Have you heard of this issue?

Hey Tech turn off the haptic feedback for the camera and "shutter" lag goes away

Google vpn doesn't work on my pixel 7 and it keeps saying I am eligible ! Shouldn't it be free for 7 series users?

I just recently got the Google Pixel 7 from Mint Mobile for $199, and got a year of service with 15gb data per month for $150. So with service, tax, and shipping I got it for $389, and I think I got a good deal.

Great content, but still I'll pick my Pixel 7 all day, downside here is really just the battery. I don't play games anymore, unlike before that I used to play COD on a daily basis for couple of hours. Value of money, Pixel is the phone to go for. Sorry to say but I just hate the other UI of other smartphone brands..Plus the deal that I got with Bell Canada is pretty hard to beat, $5.25 per month on a contract, you can't go wrong, it's a very sweet deal..

Got a pixel 7 today. It has been stressful. First a chrome update got stuck, then i couldnt work out how to bring up the apps and had to seek advice. Then the my ee app wouldnt work. Then a system update kept failing. When that finally worked it took an eternity. I am now being told theres yet another update and it keeps failing. I dont have to manually check for system updates like you often suggest. It seems to find them and try to automatically download and install. It doesnt tell me it is in the middle of one either. I think it is now functioning properly, i think.

Great comparison. There's a device out there to fit anyone's needs. You just have to take the time to do some research on the device and figure out what you want out of it, and can that device provide it. It's pretty simple.

I hate so much about the pixel (I have the 6a) - I hate material you and the updates availability and process, and the fingerprint and so much more, but the assistant and AI stuff is soooo good that even though I want a samsung, I can't bring myself to replace the pixel

A good video I got the s23 pre-order and and tried for a week but returned it... It's definitely good but I like my pixel 7 better even if hardware-wise it's not as good... I miss the camera and the speech-to-text Google special features the translate and so on... I would say the one downside of the pixel 7 is the battery it's okay and can make it through a day

Another great comparison 👏

If I’m locked into the Apple ecosystem and want to try android which one should I go for ?

My pixel 7 was ehhh with battery life. Found a 6 pro for $331 Amazon never been happier. May down the road get a S23 but their trade in prices are terrible. Thanks for the comparison

Will it convert Spanish voicemails to Spanish text automatically?

What I like the least about the battery on the Samsung phones is the self-draining that goes on if Im not using it...

Brilliant comparison. Thanks for sharing. Going with the pixel 7

tbh pixel 7 is meh, sad they couldnt fix the finger print issue , smaller form could be cool and also battery does become an issue for certain people ... but for the price you cant argue much, so it does have bang for buck

Thank you for the comparison video. An Apple person I know told me more or less the same thing about Samsung (although did strongly encouraged me to get Apple, no surprise here) and tried to downgrade the Pixel. I might try Samsung as my next phone.

Great comparison, I think it's a matter of choice to what people want. I noticed on Samsungs website in the trade in section. They are now asking for IMEI number of the phone your trading in. I wonder what happened, perhaps they were getting screwed on the some of the trade in phones? 🤔

Not sure if it's just me and the screen protectors I'm buying but on my S22 Ultra, I could not get the fingerprint reader working properly with regular tempered glass screen protectors but I could on my Pixel 6a. On my S22 Ultra and S23 Ultra, I had to use those UV cured ones. With those installed correctly, the fingerprint reader works like there's no screen protector on. (Yes, I re-registered my fingerprints and increased touch sensitivity. Still didn't change anything.)

Personally I really enjoy the pixel experience (specifically the camera) but ever since my camera glass exploded and Google denying assistance for the phones defective ness. I'm personally having my doubts on the brand in general. The first months I had the pixel, I was excited to upgrade to the 8 pro in the future but now I'm not even sure it's worth it. I understand it's not a problem for everyone but I can't confidently encourage someone to buy the phone if the possibility of it happening to them is there.

Actually the tensore isn't doing much. The galaxy line can do the same things as the pixel if you use the Google phone app and Google messages.

The S23 is a Masterphone i get 7hrs SOT even a little more with draining from 85% (Battery charging protection on) to 15% that's crazy for such a small phone so in the end, it's a small handy pocket friendly beast! 👊👊

I was thinking of getting the S23 through Amazon because it's quick shipping and easy returns (if necessary). I tried their trade-in program and they have TOTALLY given up on Pixel phones. You can't trade in anything newer than Pixel 5. Samsung just recently allowed 6 series to be traded in. Apple offers laughable amounts for Pixel phones (compared to Samsung phones).

I've honestly been under welmed by the pixel 7's camera and keyboard. My work phone is a S20 FE, and both features seem to be better on it. No idea about the keyboard but Gboard just doesn't seem to work as well for me on my pixel

S23 for me

Good review Adam. I'm not a fan of Pixels and don't buy a phone for cameras. My criteria are battery life, performance, ease of use, screen size and pocket ability! Got my S23 base, 256gb, in UK, for £500, with trade in. Both phones offer great features, but agree, overall, the S23 base, is the better phone!

Well I have the pixel 7 pro, s23, s23 ultra. S23 ultra is the best android phone out there and if you have the money then get that one. But this a comparison is between the pixel 7 and s23. When it comes to pros and cons for both, it is practically even. All a matter of preferences. But what is the deciding factor is the needs and wants of both phones. For example, the pixel has a great voice to text system that I really want but it is not a need. What is needed is good reliable modem, bluetooth connections, and better battery life and charging speed. That's something the s23 has over the pixel 7. It was hard for me to decide because I like my pixel 7 pro. However I will be returning that because the needs seem to favor Samsung over the pixel 7. Both has great cameras but I like the pixel 7 still better by a small margin. But the connection issues, battery life, charging speeds, and over heating made me lean more toward the s23. In other words, which one is more reliable to you? I know the cost is a factor, but can't put a price on reliability.

It's kind of crazy that the Google Tensor 2 isn't really any better than the Snapdragon 888. I wonder if Google will ever fix the Phone Idle battery drain. It's the biggest reason why I got rid of the P7P. I even tried replacing it, thinking that I got a defective one. Both phones would have 30%+ battery drain for phone idle. I've never seen it on any other phone before. That's why the battery life is not good. Google can't figure out how to have the phone idle without draining the battery.

Damn I wish Canada had these prices for all phones. My pixel 6 pro was 1300 cad

Well, I supposed the price differences between the two phones in the US made a lot of sense, but here in Asia, the price of the Google Pixel 7 is only slightly cheaper to the S23. Besides, the Pixel 7 is not offered through the carriers, thus no discounts to the buyer directly. Under these conditions, would you think that the S23 shows better value, would you say?

I have consumer cellular the S23 is $599 so now your talking $150 difference while pixel is on sale same price otherwise.

I would like to see Xiaomi 13 vs pixel 7 vs s23 vs OnePlus 11 😮😮😮😮

One thing I'd like to see included in reviews is Android auto capability, I realize it works with Samsung phones no problem but doesn't work with my Xiaomi... I ordered a pixel 7 so I'm hoping it will work

If you get the galaxy max hz app then s23 will go down to 10 hz

The image processing of Samsung needs to be fixed.. Pixel 7 still wins

Samsung for the modem alone. Can't mess with exynos chips for reception issues

I like smaller phones. Right now I'm using galaxy s22 but I bought s23 for my son and have to say it is in every aspect a grate phone. Neverthless I assumed that my s22 makes so soft pictures compared to s23 that i decided to change my phone and I just bought pixel 7😂. Two s23 in one house would be to much so I will be able to compare this phones, especially in camera departament which is the most important for me....

Ah well the Galaxy s23 Series has so many sales going on, not sure what he is talking about lol Att you can literally trade in any Galaxy ever made and get 800 off. Verizon takes damage and pretty old Galaxy devices for 800 and T-Mobile has free s23 with port in and 800 off trade in plus you can get free watch 5. But yeah no sales.

Very nice video

I sticking pixel 7 ,more likely will trade in for pixel 8 pro coming this fall 2023.

I have more faith in the snap8gen2 over the tensor2 long term. Pixel phones still feel like beta phones. For all the money and resources Google has they still make a tier 2 phone. Rather pay the extra money for a more solid experience long term.

In the UK pixel 7 is now £499. S23 is still £849 I like the pixel but are the botched software updates ruining it

S23 it is!! Thanks Adam ! Samsung stepped up some on my S21 Ultra trade in value as well!

Here, in Brazil, samsung's deals are insane! I gave my s22plus 128gb in trade for The normal s23 256 gb and had to pay only 150 bucks for it. And received The galaxy buds bonus. Here pixels are not selled..so, no doubts Here. 😅😅 The battery life on The s23 base is better than that in The s22plus

Current Google Store trade-in makes the Pixel 7 even better! Got $320 trade-in value for my Pixel 5. My net cost is $174 for my new Pixel 7.

My Bixby Text call works.

These days you are All S23 and little Pixel-ish guy. Maybe less Pixel 7 Series bugs and issues makes you that way. We Pixel users do like to see a bit more frequent Pixel videos than the current rate. Thanks

i chose both, I just prefer the Sammy

I personally prefer the Samsung. Although both are good devices . Plus I prefer the design aesthetic of the S22., Pixel 7 looks 🤢I never go for just the camera , as I have dedicated cameras for taking photos so the camera isn't a selling point to me when buying a phone.

Pixel! Google's AI is going to be the central theme in their ecosystem.

Pixel 7

The S23 is a good phone, but I'm kind of over the look of OneUI. If these two phones were exactly the same price, I'd still choose the Pixel.

Blepharospasm with cervical dystonia! Sorry to be so blunt. I hadn't noticed it before (maybe I wasn't looking for it, i usually just listen to your vids). I'm sure you must've gotten it checked. Stay safe.

I like S23 but it costs twice or even more than Pixel 7. Btw, I saw yesterday the pixel 7 for $450 on Amazon.

Why do reviewers keep saying you can get an s23 with 512gb? It only comes in 128gb & 256gb.

Watching on pixel 7 same color And on my left hand apple watch ultra 😄

I like Samsung but I don't like the software bloat. 60GB is a lot for a phone that only has 128GB of storage.

I watched the video on my Pixel 7 snow color.

So the Samsung has better chip and modem because it does not use a Samsung chip set. The Pixel suffers a bit because it does use a Samsung chip set.🤔

Do you think Google ever go back to snapdragon chip

I was a huge fan of Sammy boy. Then I got my hands on a OnePlus, and let me tell I have really enjoyed the difference in software. Then I was able to get a Pixel 7 Pro, and although I do really like what Google is doing with the Pixel line. I don't like the hollowness of the screen. I was really hoping the P7P was going to be the phone that I kept for 3 years, but I just couldn't get over it.

It's a huge price difference

S23 is too overpriced. Pixel 7 any day any time

Yeah but Google software is the secret sauce in pixels. Theres so much optimization and incredible powerful software features that it doesn't surprise me that Google is a little slower sometimes. That being said, dont make it a habit Google.

To me, it won't matter how good the hardware is in a Samsung, the software is goofy and I can't tolerate it.

I already chose wisely, not Samsung, never Samsung.

I'll just wait for the pixel 8

S23 goes as low as 24htz and 120htz at its highest.

S23 is definitely a better buy. I can never trust the Tensor G2

OneUI is good on paper but I cannot stand the launcher, not to mention all of Samsung's bloatware (yes, their apps are bloatware) and confusing customization choices. Like why am I able to so heavily customize my lock screen, but not change something as simple as which direction my app draw scrolls? At least with Pixel Launcher, you know you're getting essentially stock android in terms of UI. It's supposed to be simplistic, and you're encouraged to seek third-party solutions to your wants and preferences. Samsung is the opposite. Everything is complex (read clunky), and they want you to stay in their ecosystem, but require you to download crap like Themepark and Goodlock from the Galaxy Store to customize most of the UI.

2 Esims after last update

S23. PIXEL 7 IS ALWAYS HOT 🔥 🥵!!

I just can't do Samsung's One UI. It's garbage.

I have the Pixel 7 Pro and it's the equivalent of a mid range underpowered phone. What a disappointment.

Isn't slow charging better for the battery life or was I misinformed?

I was planning to get Pixel 7 Pro but after few months after the release, a lot of issues showed up. Most important ones would be battery life and a weak modem. Also plenty of other things which for sure going to bother me, like very slow charging, a curved screen, a fingerprint sensor which lights up and gonna blind me at night, heating up, not having second slot for physical simcard.. So comparing it to s23 ultra it feels like the only reason to buy a pixel for me is that camera performance as a lot of AI features are basically for US only or english speaking regions.. Even the price ain't that different as 256gb model cost 1k euro and s23 ultra 256gb is 1.15k its literally only 150e more, 512gb is 1.3k.. So ye im very much leaning towards Samsung, but your input would be appreciated!

@techodyssey Samsung is giving more trade in value currently for the s23 series now

Dump that pixel in the dumpster
