Pixel 8 Pro has the best smartphone camera.
S23U is also better than iPhone.
I'm on my third pixel (OG, 3a, and now 6). I've always gotten amazing compliments on the pictures I take with my pixel phones. I feel like it's more the software than the camera itself, but whatever it is, I love the pictures it takes!
I have often thought about switching to iPhone only because the rest of my family is on it, but the camera and software keeps me with pixel, even though I often get overheating and battery drain issues.
