Passem-me com o google pixel pelos tomates!
Without seeing this one I can say that Google pixel can’t beat ultra. Change the question into s23 beat 8pro😅😅😅
7 years worth of updates? Is Google about to cancel the pixel ?
I’m so tired of larger phones getting the best specs.
The S‑Pen in the S series is inferior when they make a tablet S‑Pen that provides a better experience
Dude, next time compare the Pixel 8 Pro to the S23. Because it won’t beat the standard S23 in most things. It’s only better in Camera.
Pixel wins imo, Samsung is super nice and flashy with lots of customization, but pixel wins overall
Surprisingly you never mentioned the comparison between their cameras, one of the main reasons I would pick one over the other…
Samsung users give Apple users a run for their money when it comes to hoighty-toity-fanboiedness. Relax, the Pixel 8 pro is a great phone, and that’s A‑OK.
Pixel 6 and 7 Have problems with mobile and wifi connection such as Low signal and drop connections in low signals arias, compare other company including Iphone and Samsung S phones . Pixel 8 have same weak Samsung modem, poor design antenas and probably same connectivity issues. Unfortunately Google doesn’t want or can’t recognise and fix this problem. Don’t make mistake to buy expensive phone with this major problem. Please check Pixel 8 connectivity compare iphone and Samsung S.
Kindly send those wallpapers please
Would this be a big upgrade from a Galaxy S20?
Samsung always has great specs and hardware, but it all comes down to the software and algorithms of the apps. Which the Pixel beats Samsung hands down. I went from a UltraS21 to Pixel Pro8. What a difference in camera capture accuracy. We typically use our phones now for its camera and social media. And google has done some great work in that space.
About your question: it already happened when Honor Magic 5 Pro was launched. Since then, many Pro’s beat Ultra — just check the dxomark rankings
Don’t fall for the PIXEL BS!! I had the Pixel 3.. 3a..5..6pro And now I’m using an s23ultra and there is no comparison!! the 6pro ran hot all the time and wasn’t usable at all in hot weather!! The Tensor my be better now.. But it’s not near as good as the 8 gen 2 !! If you want the Best stick with Samsungs flagship!! Nite and day difference. Don’t ever base your buying on these vids they always push the newest device!! I was also fooled several times over the yrs… That’s why l stayed away from Samsung But the Truth is you love iPhone get the newest iPhone You love Android get the best Samsung has to offer and you can’t go wrong.
Geeks in comments 😂😅
@ 2:30 what is with the Google screen “flickering” when sitting next to the Sammy?
So I bought a Pixels 8 Pro and I’m very sorry but it is nowhere near as “Pro” as the Samsung S23 series (not just the ultra mind you) Here’s why:
- No display out (not to speak of Dex) even though the hardware is there – a feature for those who want to hack it I guess
- iPhone levels of flexibility in the “clean” Pixel launcher (why can’t I hide the silly navigation/gestures bar at the bottom… or move the dumb perma-widget on the home screen, or hide the search bar at the bottom, or order apps in folders in the app drawer, or hide that dumb suggestions bar, or choose their order, or choose not to have an app drawer at all, etc, etc)
- Some of the pixel’s awesome new features are… Pay to play. The magic editor requires you to upload it to the Google cloud and if you have more than 17GB of photos, videos, files and emails, guess what… You got to buy more storage to use the feature 🎉
- Oh, you don’t what to use Google 1 to back up your photos. Great, here’s a banner at the top of Google photos reminding you that you’re not spending more after you spent 999+
- Other advertised functions are not available to 7.67 BILLION Pixel users – oh you don’t live in the US, ah well, no crash detection for you, no webpage summarizing for you, no call screening for you, etc, etc. But hey at least you get to pay more for it 😅
- Bonus bugs galore – sharing photos from the camera app takes you to the last thing you were doing on Google photos… Not even the same image you just wanted to share.
If you call it a Pro phone at least your multitasking should be useful and the Pixel one is, if you want to get frustrated that is.
Sure there are workarounds to all of these but they also are not an issue on the S23s.
But hey, at least you get a thermometer in place of a stylus right…
P.S. Dear reviewers, none of you mentioned any of these in between regurgitating Google’s press release.
Pixel 8 pro has better screen and camera. Better android experience also. Check. Mate.
The “Pro” label on the Pixel is a joke. The Tensor, aka, custom Exynos, is complete trash on performance. All the Ai features are easily available with a Google One subscription. $1k is def not worth it. Stick to regular Pixel model.
