If camera quality is a top priority, the Google Pixel 8 offers superior still photo and video capabilities, but at a higher price compared to the more affordable Samsung Galaxy A23. However, for those seeking longer battery life, the Galaxy A23 outlasts the Pixel 8. Additionally, the Pixel 8 features a glass body that may feel more premium but is also more fragile than the A23's plastic build. Screen size differs slightly, with the A23 sporting a larger display which might be advantageous for media consumption, but it uses an LCD panel whereas the Pixel 8's OLED screen provides better contrast and colors. Both run on Android but the Pixel is likely to receive updates more promptly as it's from Google. If budget constraints are not too tight and photography is important, the Pixel 8 may be the better choice; otherwise, for longer battery and a larger screen at a lower price, the A23 is a solid option.
