S23 size is super sweet
I hope they come out with similar sized versions. 5.7-6.1 is best

Watching on S23... completely satisfied from the phone...no heating, best looks and performance....

[SudeeptoDutta]

Watching it on my S23. Eagerly waiting for OneUI 6.0 this month.

See the thing is if you want a phone for raw power and performance then Google isn't for you. Majority of Indian customers want a phone with good specs at affordable price and there's nothing wrong in it. However, Google's focus is more on the user experience and software and that is top notch. Their main focus is on AI and there's no other company who can compete with them in AI computation. They could've easily gone with SD processors along with competitive pricing and their sales would've been pretty high. But then again what would be their identity? They would just be another One plus/Nothing or any of those Chinese brands under BBK corporations. Google is building their identity as an AI powerhouse. They aren't called "Smartest smartphone" for no reason. There are so many features which are just smart and useful in daily life like call screening, hold for me and then new AI features in the latest Pixels. Yes, many of those features are not available worldwide but imagine if they were then how much more useful their phones would be.

I am just waiting for Pixel 10 in 2025 coz that will have Tensor G5 which will be a fully custom designed chip by Google fabricated by TSMC instead of Samsung. TSMCs fabrication should take care of the heating and battery drain issue along with further employment of AI would make Pixels much more appealing.

Your reviews helped me in making right decision. Thank you for such candid reviews.
I was using pixel 4a5g for 2.5 years. Pixel users are testers of android for google. They are full of bugs and the VoLTE, VoWiFi & 5g are disabled for certain countries even though the bands are supported. There are also manufacturing quality issues with their handsets. My phone back got swollen and developed a crack. I switched to s23 and trust me Samsung really makes practically usable phones(specially flagships) and it's worth every penny.
I have started to hate pixels especially their tensor chips. A very few percentage of people actually use the AI feature. It's a marketing gimmick.

After Extensive Research I Opted For S23 256 GB Version. The Smoothest, Comapct Flagship!!

[DexterDavidDexterSD]

S23 256gb chala raha hu jabse launch hua. 54k ka liya maine 256gb exchange aur bohot saare discounts ke saath. Bohot hi amazing phone hai. Games ekdum makhan chalte hai isme. Battery bypass ka bhi option hai toh game khelte time charge connect karo toh direct charger se processor ko power jayega, battry consume nahi hoga, uss se battery health achi rehti hai. Uske alawa, 3x zoom se bohot versatile camera setup ho jaata hai. Mai toh bohot use karta hu 3x zoom day time pe. Raat mein 2x use kar sakte hai jo lossless zoom karta hai 50mp camera ko crop karke.
Samsung dex bhi bohot tage feature hai. Monitor se connect karke video editing wagerah kar sakte hai.
Instagram bhi optimized hai s23 ke liye toh reel upload karoge 1080p 30fps 10 mbps mein toh bohot pyaari quality aata hai almost iPhone jaisa.

S23 is BEAST! Battery wale department me Pixel ki better hai and last time ke comparison me samsung has improved well, camera me AI magic and Night photos me Pixel 8 hi zayada accha hai but overall better camera setup hai Samsung S23 ke paas (Telephoto + Better Day photos and overall better video recording + more features). Display and performance me samsung is miles ahead of Pixel and security me dono kafi neck to neck hai! Yes software department me Pixel 8 is better but dekhte hai kya 7 saal tensor G3 updates jhel payega? 😂

[anukoolgangwar]

2:56 you can clearly see pixel screen looks far more superior

Tensor G to Tensor G3 were manufactured by Samsung so the heating and throttle issue is there. But no more because the tensor G4 is manufactured by TSMC and Tensor G4 will be present on Google's next phones. Now Samsung S23 has snapdragon gen 2 which is manufactured by TSMC that's why no throttling issue is there.

Using S23 since 6 months, mind blowing performance.

[Kumar-yy]

Hi sanchit. Suggest me please, Samsung S23, pixel 8 or pixel 7a, I have to buy One, answer please Tia..

[sking]

For 'Dex', I will choose S23, anyday, over iphones, pixels etc. Moto, originally, has alike feature but Samsung's version is smoother IMO.

[ash_ley]

Hi. I'm planning to buy S23 plus after the launch of S24 series. What price can I expect? Any guess?

[OggyChwan]

Don’t forget to mention battery bypass option on samsung lol you can game with a charger plugged in without worrying about battery drop haha it also helps keep battery health high for a long time, not to mention s23 is heavily discounted atm

[ConTentJi]

Pixel 7 pro or pixel 8 afterall they are at same price..priority is camera and good performance (not a hardcore gamer)...or go with other smartphone

[srcob]

I had S22 I was frustrated for it's battery issue. Now recently I switched to S23....battery is way better and performance is very good.

[nomanahmad]

Using S23 256gb variant from 4 months... it's just superb phone just wow....battery is average but overall phone is very good...loved it❤
