I own a Pixel 7 but I hate that you always have to reach a compromise on something. This time it's the SOC. The Tensor G2 is a toaster. I looked for the Galaxy S23 and it has camera issues with shutter lag.
I feel you on this. Might consider switching to iPhone once they switch to USB C for charging.
Every single pixel I've owned came with a problem or two especially when it comes to hardware.
Samsung on the other hand, has great hardware but once 2 years is up and software support ends, it feels outdated in software
Interesting. I've owned a Pixel 3, 4a-5G and a 7 and have had no hardware issues, even side loading unsigned software and stuff (e.g. hacked version of Samsung health for the Watch 4).
I have the Pixel 6 and Dual SIM still doesn't properly work 2 years after release. Modem will still randomly crash after 30 minutes or so. Hate it
Samsung is now doing 4 years of Software updates, Still not enough compared to Apple.
Also depending on the region you are stuck with Exynos, and the fucking garbage Exy modem which is a total dealbreaker.
The shutter lag has been very very noticeable and even annoying on my Galaxy A42. It was fine during the first year of purchase, but then it got worse. Taking a picture can now take up to 10 seconds.
