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.

Google android is far from clean. I had to install a new launcher because it wouldn't let me disable the stupid google bar on the mainscreen. Searching for a way to disable it I stumpled on way too many google kiddies asking "WhY WoULd wAnT To DisaBLe tHiS FeaTUre?"

That's not an issue with "Google Android", that's an issue with the Pixel launcher. There's some other issues, like not supporting custom icons.

The great thing: it takes two seconds to download a new launcher, and a few years to perfect it ๐Ÿ˜‚

I agree. But I meant the "clean" mainstream vision of Android from Google.
