Tbh there's some festival around the corner during which the prices are meant to be at the lowest but right before it Samsung came up with this pooper FE and ruined my plans, else S23 was meant to go at the price that FE would be sold at as they'd deliberately not slash its price much now cuz that might hamper the sales of FE.
My wife and I switched to the Pixel after being with the galaxy lineup since 2011. I've not missed a single bit of Samsung bloat and the experience has been phenomenal. Our cameras with the Samsung devices always seemed to artificially degrade near the release of their next model. You could always try them out and compare. That's the beauty of return policies.
It's the 7 Pro. The battery has no problem lasting all day but will definitely need to be charged at night. I use my phone for business and personal, so calls and emails all day.
