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.

Get a Pixel, install GrapheneOS.
Do apps requiring locked phones (Netflix, baking etc.) work?
Netflix you just can’t get from Google Play, but people report having no problem installing from Aurora (basically a Google Play store frontend).
I’m not sure how it works on Graphene as I personally just rooted my phone but didn’t take the plunge to Graphene, but there is a list of compatible banking apps here: https://privsec.dev/banking
I just installed Netflix directly from Google play, maybe it has changed 🤷♂️
It has changed yupyup. Used to be that you couldn’t do this, because play store and services wouldn’t run on the OS. Now you can.
Not too sure how up-to-date or accurate this is, but I happened to come across this a few weeks ago and am sharing it again.

Most do work, only apps that have stupid arbitrary Google SafetyNet requirements might have problems. It’s entirely the fault of Google though.
