Galaxy S23+ or Pixel 8 Pro?

Hey, I’m choosing between a refurbished Pixel 8 Pro or Galaxy S23+. I loved my Pixel 6 Pro, but before that, I was using Galaxy S phones.

Priorities:

Camera quality (big fan of Google’s processing)

Battery life (Pixel 6 Pro was OKish for me)

Smooth performance & longevity

One of the main things pulling me toward the Galaxy S23+ is the battery life and the built-in WhatsApp sticker creation straight from the gallery. 😅

I didn’t have severe heating issues with my Pixel 6 Pro, but I’ve read this issue all the time so maybe I was just lucky? 🤔

Anyone using either long-term—thoughts? Thanks!

*( regarding newer models, I don't see any major upgrades that justify spending more right now. But maybe I'm wrong)
