Might regret it but I just ordered an S23 after trying it out at BestBuy. I saw that Samsung had a Black Friday deal for $200 off with trade-in of an old device. I have an old Galaxy S7 just sitting in a drawer and was amazed to see it on the list of accepted devices.
I've really been wanting a smaller phone as my OnePlus 8T gets really uncomfortable to hold after a while. Love everything about it except the size.
I also looked at the Pixel 8 but the S23 felt like the better choice with less compromises. Pixel 8 Pro is even bigger than my 8t, so no-go there.
Really wish the S23 was rootable (in US at least). That's prob the biggest drawback for me. Will see if I can live without that.
I recently flashed Lineage OS on my phone. Some banking apps are not working. Even though the experience has been top notch for me I sometimes regret it.

You'll need to do reinstall magisk after every system update, doesn't take too long.
I installed nameless on my 8t. It works well but Google Pay breaks occasionally with a "Device doesn't meet security requirements". On both instances, was able to fix with using a play integrity module but kinda annoying knowing it may not always be reliable.
