Yup! I really wanted a Sony Xperia for the hardware, but the 2 years of updates were a deal breaker. So for the price of a base model 128GB (lol) S23U, I got a 1TB Pixel 8 Pro and a case with enough money leftover for dinner with the price difference. Their holiday sales were pretty generous!
This is my first non-Samsung phone, and after a lot of tweaking and using Nova Launcher (yes, yes, they got bought out by Branch) for the first time in a while, I can say I absolutely love this phone! I won’t say it’s better than a Samsung, but I can say that it’s more or less on par, which is enough for a phone that’s a few hundred bucks cheaper. Let me know if you want a more detailed breakdown between Pixels and Samsung (at least as of Note 20 Ultra’s specs)!

Thanks! I’m still on the edge between S23 and Pixel 8, always good to hear feedback!

Sounds nice! From the feedback I read, Samsung S and Pixels are solid phones nowadays, at the end of the day it is up to personal preference
