If you prioritize camera performance, particularly for still photos and videos, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra offers superior camera quality, including higher megapixel counts across various lenses and more advanced video capabilities. However, this device comes with a higher price tag. In contrast, the Google Pixel 8 is more budget-friendly but has a lower overall camera quality compared to the S23 Ultra. The Pixel 8 also has a smaller screen, which might be preferable if you're looking for a more compact phone. Both phones have similar battery life, with the S23 Ultra being slightly better. They also both run on Android, so your choice won't affect the operating system you use. Give Feedback
