Should I buy a Pixel or a Samsung?

If I buy the best that either company has to offer (Pixel 8 pro or S23 Ultra)

Which one, in your opinion, would be the best Android experience and why? Would love to know your thoughts.

I really like both. This round I ended up going with Samsung. Yeah it's a little more bloated but there's just SO much more customization with good lock modules. I have an audio module that lets me choose a second audio destination. So for example I can be playing music through Bluetooth on my stereo system and then I have my system notifications set to the phone speaker so that they don't interrupt the music

Teach me! How to do that sound routing?

So i think used to be a goodlock module but i guess now its in Settings > Sounds and Vibration > separate app sound. If you don't have it there you can get a goodlock module called "sound assistant". Separate app sound isn't super flexible but it at least lets you choose an app to go to a specific audio output device. Goodlock is available in the galaxy store and has a lot of modules for heavy customization of your galaxy device.

I do have that setting! Thank you. When I was doing the set up i concentrated on denying permissions and blocking useless stuff, and missed this one.
