I don't think this is totally true, tbh. The Pixel 8 Pro holds up really well against the S23 Ultra IMO. The camera generally rates higher in blind comparison tests.
Performance is a little lower, but tbh... even my old Pixel 5 was fast enough. Marginal differences in performance don't seem that important to me now in a phone. Battery life might be lower, but I get the feeling that real world performance is really close.

According to users of both, real life battery life of the Pixel 8 is much lower than the benchmarks would suggest, because of the inferior SoC and modem which drains the battery much faster then the Qualcomm powered S23, when you use your phone a lot on data. The problem is most battery benchmarks are pretty meaningless as they're always done indoor on WiFi which is a lot easier on the battery than when using the modem for data, so they don't reflect the real world use when you're out and about throughout the day roaming between cell towers of varying signal strength. My biggest torture scenario for a phone's battery is web browsing on the train or in our office building. It literally nukes the battery compared to wifi.
- _ea1k 3y agoI've heard reports of very high drain on cellular, but tbh it isn't something that I've noticed in real world usage. Maybe some of that is the difference between the P8 and P8Pro. I'd guess high modem usage isn't as big of an impact on the higher battery P8Pro.
