>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.
