    The S23 FE is the latest Fan Edition phone from Samsung designed to offer a "good enough" flagship experience, with some cost savings by using older parts and an older chip, but it still has a lot of power and big battery and nice sceren! The Pixel 8 has the new smartest processor in the game, the Tensor G3, along with Google's legenday camera and 7 years of support!

    I think most debating these phones really only care about regular daily activities and both hold up very well. Can't go wrong with either. Even my A54 can handle my daily activities easily. Don't let processors fool you. Go off how it can handle daily task for what you use your phone for.

    Problem is there are many people that have been burned by Google with the 6 and 7 series of phones that simply don't trust google anymore. I can't see myself every buying another google phone because of it. In consumer eyes Samsung is the safer choice regardless of what chip is in it.

    I really wanted to trade up from my A53 5G to the S23 FE but I'd want the 256GB version because of the lack of SD card slot. The other thing is Samsung only so far seems to want to offer $100 trade while offering $150 more on older phones like the A52.
    I'd really like to have a better chipset than the exynos and wireless charging, otherwise the A53 does my daily stuff fine.
    Seeing reviews like this makes feel like I'll wait a year and see if they come up with an S24 FE that might be a more compelling upgrade for me.

      I bet honestly the reason the 23 FE is faster right now is it’s almost had 2 years to get optimization for android and the new chips for the pixel 8 just need time for optimization for android, which they own android so. Same idea with it stuttering before and having overheating and battery problems. It’s update patches, not machine learning

      I agree. 👍🏻
      The fact is, Apple's 3 nm A17 Pro is a full generation ahead of Qualcomm's SD 8 Gen 2 (and will very likely benchmark higher than even the Gen 3 when the S24 series is released in January), and the Tensor G3 is a full generation behind the SD Gen 2.
      So as much as I loathe iPhones, they're always on the bleeding edge in internal raw speed/power, Samsung devices are fairly current but not the fastest, whereas any Pixel you buy is arguably "behind the 8 ball" in that aspect.
      I truly DON'T believe that the Tensor G3 will realistically be able to support Android 21. So the 7-year OS update promise is really just a "one-upsmanship game" versus Samsung, and a marketing tool to make Google devices seem competitive with iPhones/iPads in that one regard.

    Why do people still say Pixel phones run "stock" Android? Pixel phones run their own customized version of Android, just like any other Android phones. The ONLY reason that people feel that a Pixel phone feels cleaner is because it is made by Google, thereby not installing any manufacturer OEM stuff like other Android phone manufacturers. That doesn't necessarily make it better though because many of the Android phone manufacturers have some really useful features baked into their version of Android operating system, which does not require installation of pointless and useless 3rd party apps from the Play Store.
    After having suffered with 3 different Pixel phone models in the past, I am not about to trust Google with phones.

    I went from an s21 ultra to a pixel 7 pro. The 7 pro is a cool phone with cool features, but it gets so hot when multi-tasking. Charges slowly and lags so much when it starts to heat up. I could not stand it anymore. Went to best buy to buy a S23 FE until the S24 ultra comes out. So far better battery life, doesnt get extremely hot, no lags and just a better phone. To me shows samsung has got the formula down and google needs to continue to improve. Would love to get another pixel but with my bad experience im not sure I will.

    I'm not convinced that the Pixel 8 is the best value... But I want the 7 years of updates, and I like the mostly stock android, and the call screen feature is great. Plus I like the size of the 8, even though I really want the camera of the pro. Hoping for a good deal in a couple weeks.
