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.

FWIW, I'm still using a pixel 3A and don't have plans to change anytime soon. They really do last for a long time.

Things like (old) fast charging and not having to charge it every day are what still blow my mind and feel like modern innovations to me. It's still pretty responsive and fast enough for what I use it for. Sometimes my texts take a little to load anymore but I don't really mind.

YMMV depending on what you want out of a phone I guess. I try not to look at my phone unless I have to for a text or call or email abymore. But I've been on this train since the Nexus 6P. If you want a solid, stable phone that lasts a long time and very little fluff or bloat, go pixel. The flexibility for custom ROMs and rooting and things is unmatched as well. I'll continue to use this thing until I drop it down the street one day or it gets aggravating to use somehow
