The rest of AP loves the Pixel 8 Pro, but the S23 Ultra wins my vote
If you’re familiar with my work here at Android Police, you’ll know I enjoy Samsung devices. I’m probably the only person on the team who is genuinely excited about the launch of the S24 Ultra, even if it’ll be largely indiscernible from my S23 Ultra. Naturally, when I saw that the Pixel 8 Pro would be winning our Phone of the Year award, I was disappointed, even if I did see it coming from a mile away. But while many people might assume that I disagree because I’m a Samsung fanboy, that isn’t true. I will happily point out the flaws in any of Samsung’s phones just as I would showcase the highlights, and with all of that in mind, the S23 Ultra is unequivocally my phone of the year for 2023.
