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.

I can see a reason to get either a pixel or Samsung, can't really go wrong with either. Personally I use a Samsung for the customization of OneUI and better processors but occasionally I do envy the camera on a pixel phone and the stock android layout. Main advice if you were to get either is to try to buy it used instead of new.

Honest question what customization does OneUI have that you can't do on a Pixel?

[–] utopia_dig@lemmy.ml 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Just a few examples I use on my S23:

  • Hiding the alarm and VPN icons from the status bar
  • Charging the battery to only 85%
  • Rearranging/deleting the camera mode favorite buttons (Photo, Night Mode, Video, ...)
  • Creating folders in the app drawer of the default launcher
  • Option to customize the long press of the power button (I set mine to the flashlight)

Charging the battery to only 85%

I wish all phones had this.

All phones have this. What you see as 100% is not absolute maximum capacity.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago

It's not 85% either
