What should he go for. Please suggest

People who have never used a high refresh rate panel will not feel 60Hz as slow. Type C port of iPhone 15 will be much more convenient for people as no lack of type C chargers whenever they travel.I would personally not consider both of them but instead buy a iphone 14 pro, brand new international ones are available around 90k in the local market. I dont think i can live with less than 120hz display in 2024.
He want to last it at least 5 years. He is looking for long term.Too little info to suggest anything, What does your friend currently use? What features are his priority? Does he own other apple products? How long does he want his phone to last? etc etc

And in future he want to use wearable like galaxy buds pro 2/ airpods pro 2 considering these which would be better like anc or transparency vgerah vgerahFor me, S23 it is.
The iPhone 15's OS is inferior, face ID is not as convenient as FP sensor & it looks bad because of the ugly notch up front. 60Hz might not be an issue for many, esp ones who have never used a 120Hz panel. My S20FE's camera is still decent vs my friend's S23 ultra, so IMO camera differences are hard to spot. Surely night time photos are good to compare cams but IMO both S23 & iPhone 15 has competent cameras. S23 has the benefit of a telephoto lens which is handy at times.
For an Apple user, they might never know what iOS is missing. Also they might be into the ecosystem, so Android phone might be a con for such people. For 2 gens, battery life has been an issue on androids because of Samsung fab made chips, but S23 is not using one of such chips.
Either will work if you can get battery changed.He want to last it at least 5 years. He is looking for long term.
Both are equivalent with Samsung offering aggressive price drops with their buds from time to time. You won't get that with appleAnd in future he want to use wearable like galaxy buds pro 2/ airpods pro 2 considering these which would be better like anc or transparency vgerah vgerah

Sounds like all you friend needs is a long lasting phone. Either will do in that regard. iPhone 15 over S23 any day, on the basis of software, reliability, camera. S23 will have better battery, maybe better display as well. Both are ridiculously overpriced for what they offer.
Don't have either phones. Opinion based on numerous reviews on the internet, and on the basis of past experience with both companies.
If he has never used iOS and does not have any other Apple product, is a tech noob, get S23. There are so many who would buy an iPhone just because it is a cool phone to have and then crib till the end of time.He want to last it at least 5 years. He is looking for long term.
Better Camera too, bought s23 for Wife and it takes great 4K 60fps videos. Video stabalization is top notch. Plus Snapdragon Gen 2 is fast.better resale + camera + sw support -> iphone 15
better display + android customization + cheaper - s23

If he wants a phone to showoff, get an iPhone 15.
Agreed. We have crossed the point of diminishing returns few years back when phones started coming with multiple rear cameras.Why phone camera comparisons are largely meaningless in 2023
Back in the day - 2007 to 2017, roughly, for a decade, I was one of the most active phone camera comparison writers in the world. Writing ma...stevesrantsnraves.blogspot.com
Had the same problem for a friend and in that case suggested the iPhone 15 because the person was already using an iPhone and the experience is that much more polished on iOS.My friend is confused b/w iphone 15 vs s23.

Actually photography isn't a concern. He dont click pictures that much.The camera on the S23 produces cartoonish colours. I mean I understand people nowadays like oversaturated AF colours so that it appeals more to the like-minded folks on them insta twiter lot. So that's something to keep in mind if photography is a concern at all.
Actually he is not into show off. He uses a simple cover. He doesn't even like to show apple logo. Neither samsung one. He is a minimalistic. Just want it for long termBuying an iPhone for "showoff" is almost redundant in 2024, and has been for a while now. Everybody and their long-lost cousin has an iPhone these days, including autorickshaw wallahs and chapris with the Unicorn-colored hair. Most buy on EMI and small personal loans. These days seeing an iPhone elicits more "meh, what else is new?" reactions rather than "WAOW AN IPHONE!!"
Having a beautiful Android such as an S23 Ultra, or unique ones such as Nothing Phone will garner more interest these days.
