Is exynos 2200 that big of a dealbreaker? I’m also open to buying pixel series phones.

    You should just buy what you can afford in cash without sacrificing your day to day. No phones are worth high price tags, the industry stagnated and is nothing but paying for buzzwords now

      Yup that’s what I’ve also been thinking. I just have to upgrade because my current phone doesn’t support 5g and a Black Friday like festival sale is around the corner at where I live. Had made up my mind to buy S23 but they didn’t slash prices enough this year because of the launch of FE, which is a big turn off.

    The difference between the Exynos 2200 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 will be huge in both performance and efficiency.

    For the price difference I’d wait for a deal and go for the S23 if it was me.

      Tbh there’s some festival around the corner during which the prices are meant to be at the lowest but right before it Samsung came up with this pooper FE and ruined my plans, else S23 was meant to go at the price that FE would be sold at as they’d deliberately not slash its price much now cuz that might hamper the sales of FE.

    My wife and I switched to the Pixel after being with the galaxy lineup since 2011. I’ve not missed a single bit of Samsung bloat and the experience has been phenomenal. Our cameras with the Samsung devices always seemed to artificially degrade near the release of their next model. You could always try them out and compare. That’s the beauty of return policies.

      Return policies suck at where I live so that’s not really an option for me. What pixel model have you been using and how is the battery life?

        It’s the 7 Pro. The battery has no problem lasting all day but will definitely need to be charged at night. I use my phone for business and personal, so calls and emails all day.
