Well comes down to your personal preference and that can take some time to develop.
If you want opinions on devices from other users then that’s what we are here for.
I’ve used many different devices as I use to get to play with plenty of phones and a tablets some I have purchased as well
If you want the same feeling of ecosystem then Samsung devices are the leader for Android with Google coming second. This is when you are comparing with the Apple Ecosystem.
Well here are my few thoughts on Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel.
Camera: Google Pixel for Still Photos is one of the best on the market Everything else Samsung Galaxy. I find that Samsung over processes the photos to make it look great on their devices. Take the same photo outside of Samsung and it will look different.
Battery Life: Samsung Devices with the slight edge if you get the S23 Ultra then that will be better for battery life. However, both brands for me will last the day easily which is what I ask for in all my devices.
Features (including exclusive features): If you want to screen your calls then it’s Google Pixel it has made SPAM calls become less and less over time.
Using HDMI to TV or Monitor (for me) Samsung Galaxy takes it for this one. Pixel doesn’t support HDMI output if you’re using a USB-C to HDMI. You have to use a DisplayLink Dock in order to have this the amount of times I’ve gone to a Hotel and just want to plug into a HDMI port instead of using Chromecast over the Hotel WiFI connection for privacy reasons makes me sad on a pixel. This is why I still have a Samsung Galaxy Tab in my travel kit.
There are plenty more but the post will be super long… and if you’re read this far then you are more patient then others. Hope this helps
Thank you for the very detailed and thoughtful response. A camera is important to me but the battery life is one of the most important given the fact that most other features are equal on both devices.
The real question is would a base S23 have better battery and brighter screen than a Pixel 7 Pro?
We got a base S23 via our carrier for no additional charge. I have a 7 pro and used the S23 for a few days and for my usage, the battery life was significantly better.
Wow! That’s really impressive given the size difference of the batteries. You would think that the Pixel would have longer life even with a less efficient chip.

No, but I’m an aerospace engineer who (at the time, or close to it) worked for NASA with a master’s degree in structures. A lawyer I know suggested that is that they prefer less educated people on the juries. Could be we’re difficult to sway, could be we’re just a pain in the ass.
I mean, if you’re going down that route, you can just tie concrete blocks to someone and shove them into the water. It’s cheap and tested thoroughly by the mafia
I believe the point of OP’s “thought” Is that death-by-implosion is basically instant (30 milliseconds) so it could be considered more humane than other methods.
Fairly expensive, as you’d need a new disposable submarine for each execution.
Most execution is actually pretty barbaric. The multi drug cocktail used for executions in the US is a horrible system that was designed by a non-doctor. The first drug knocks you out, the second drug paralyzes you, and the 3rd drug stops your heart. Problem is if they don’t give you enough of the first drug, you can be awake while your heart is being stopped which is apparently quite painful, but since you’re immobilized you can’t communicate that at all.
The only humane way I am aware of to kill a condemned person would be have them breathe pure nitrogen. Nitrogen is all around us- the air we breathe is 80% nitrogen so the body doesn’t react negatively to it. But without that 20% oxygen, the brain asphyxiates and dies in just a few minutes. The prisoner would simply pass out and not wake up.
This protocol is often used to euthanize laboratory animals as it is considered among the most humane.
It’s pretty fucked up that lab rats get a better death than humans.
I’ll be honest, i never thought about HOW death sentences are executed, mostly because i live in a country where death sentences are seen as barbaric and are not possible thankfully. But now that i think about it, a “mutli-drug cocktail” sounds like one of the worst ideas, next hanging and guillotine.
Being drawn and quartered or golden bulled sounds like one of the worse ideas.
Hanging, rifle line, and the guillotine are slightly better as they’re less violent and more ‘matter of fact’.
A multi-drug cocktail sounds like one of the most humane methods, medicinally and painlessly ending a life. Sadly they’ve fucked up even that by not doing it properly.
The problem is you can't get any actual doctors to help make it medically sound on account of that whole "do no harm" thing they're supposed to uphold, so you end up with quacks that use a functionally random set of drugs that make it appear to the crowd as a painless way to die when in actuality its one of the most brutally painful possible ways to die.
I'd like a reinforced cell with an explosive charge under my bed. When my execution date comes, the charge is detonated. The explosion is so fast and violent that my brain ceases to be before the pain signal from my nerves even reaches it. I would never even be aware that my date had come.
If you’re just getting into Trek, start with TNG season 3. Follow that up either with TNG seasons 1 & 2, or jump into Voyager.
For a darker Trek, watch DS9 - but be aware the first few seasons are very uneven and it gets a LOT better. It’s arguably the best of all the Trek series and well worth the investment to get past the first few seasons.
Enterprise was ok. It’s held up well, except for the theme song which was always trash. Don’t watch the series finale - just, don’t.
For the new series, SNW is the best of the live action bunch. Picard S1 and S2 are steaming piles while S3 was enjoyable and what S1 should have been. I personally enjoyed S1 and S2 of Discovery, while everything past that was truly terrible IMO. Prodigy was really good, if you can get past that it’s geared towards kids (which is obvious from time to time).
