Sony Xperia 5 IV, refused to get a phone without a headphone jack and hate the annoying cut outs for front facing cameras that pretty much every modern phone has. I much prefer the straight bezels across the edges that my Xperia has and it also has the added plus of allowing for the front facing stereo speakers.
Redmi K20 Pro (or Mi 9T Pro). Running Evolution X A13. Love it still. Probably next Pixel if they make it compact as I desperately wish for a small phone
Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) with lots of replacement parts running LineageOS. Still a solid daily driver.
Sadly there are very little modern options of suitable small Android phones.
Pixel 4a, best phone ove ever had. This is the last year for OS updates so I gave to either roll with an unsupported OS or move to something like Lineage
What do you think of it? I'm currently on an old note 9. I'd like a better camera but struggling to part with the SD card slot and 3.5mm jack. I like having my music with me and have a lot of wired headphones 😃
I love it, it's definitely my favorite phone I've ever had. Battery life is good for me, screen is sharp and it runs smooth, pictures have always turned out great. I used to work for Samsung so I had their phones and they're great but I am definitely sold on the Pixel line. Enough to spend the amount to try the Fold.
Got a Sony Xperia 1 III last January and have been in love. I've fixed my problems of Bad coverage since I can do 5g, and I have no need to upgrade for quite a while. I would like Fi support for a second sim and international trips, but I haven't enjoyed Google's hardware since the pixel series came out. I love the skin on Sony. I could care less about cameras though, and I wish someone released a powerful camera free phone since there's no point for me. I'll carry a camera for that.
Pixel 4a. Everything else was too big for my personal taste. Not a fan of those massive bricks. There was only one cheaper Samsung at the time available with a slightly larger size but I'm also not a fan of all the branding. I'd rather have the purist stock Android experience and choose any additional apps myself.
Absolutely not a fan of the "new" Android UI & icons though. It's so much wasted space and reduction in information because of all the supersized super round elements. It's ugly and unpractical.
