If there’s a truth in Android phones, it’s this: Google makes the best software and Samsung makes the best hardware. Besides Android itself, Google’s Android design is considered the best software, like the interface on the best Pixel phones. Samsung hardware is the best you can get, including the Galaxy S23 Ultra and myriad components, especially Samsung displays. Then, a strange thing happened this year. Everything switched.
Google made a foldable phone. Google has been making phones for a long time, kind of. It used to make phones called Nexus phones, but it would outsource the job of actual phone making to other phone makers. Samsung made a few Nexus phones, but some were also made by LG (eg. Nexus 5) and even Huawei (eg. Nexus 6p).
