Can't you get a repair of your Pixel? Should be much cheaper than buying a new phone.
The Tensor is fine. It will do everything you need it to except play games on high refresh rate. But that's a niche case.
It's more than enough for daily average use. Plus the Pixel photos are much better than the Samsung photos
If you really must upgrade, then I'd recommend the Asus ZenFone 10. Snapdragon 8 gen 2. Or wait until after the Samsung keynote today when they accounce the S24 and the price of the S23 should drop significantly.
