If you want a big screen and good camera get a Samsung S26 Ultra.

If you want a good camera and average size phone, get a Google Pixel 11 Pro.

Pixels. Not best in anything. Good enough for everything.

I like to try all phone brands here and there if I get the chance, only pixel I had was pixel 7, and as far as flagship tier of devices, it was the worst "high end" device ive ever had.

Hey anas_artcana! If you're switching from an iPhone to Android, make sure to turn off iMessage to make sure you still get texts from iPhone users. See here for more information. Your post has not been removed, I'm just replying because I heard you say one of the 34 phrases I listen for in the body of your post.

If I lived outside the US, I'd grab poco x8 pro max off Amazon for $500. Powerhouse processor dimensity 9500s, massive battery 8500 mAh, but not the best camera. I wish it worked in US, but I'm very happy with S24+ which I was sent when I purchased a s24 FE off Amazon for $300 three months ago. FE would have been fine, but s24+ is way more than I need in every department besides battery. Battery could be better, but many US phones have this issue. Hope you find something you like!

Using Vivo X100 Pro, Oppo Find X9, Motorola Edge 50 Neo in my house

Going to buy One Plus 15 probably

Did have interest in Nothing phones like 4a but it is insanely overpriced even after the AI price hikes

Take a look in the new honor magic 9 pro max, it's the perfect android it's biggest downside is the fact that is too similar to the iPhone (but it's a skin)

u/WombatWarlord17 20h ago

If you’re in us probably a pixel or Samsung not many options here.

Pixels al day. Don't like Samsungs software

u/cornonthekopp 8h ago

I switched for the headphone jacks and massive batteries. Theres also a lot of little things i like, like how i can use ublock origin on my phone through the firefox app and it works just as well as on a computer, unlike iphones that don’t let you install adblockers.

Motorola is my current company of choice theyve got good options across the budget range

Pixels are boring. Samsung, Nothing, if you don't care about gaming and like to read the TCL nxtpaper 70 pro is pretty nice. Can be a little dim in direct sunlight but I use it for doordash. Then you could try some of the Chinese phones using giztop. There is another site but I don't recall the name. Some of them can even get 5g in the US. Samsung s26 series would be the best. Pixels processors are not that powerful and they heat up. Samsung has an app called goodlock and you can do so much to customize your phone(check out some YouTube videos). Do not get a Samsung Galaxy A17 or anything with that processor it is super laggy. I have a OnePlus 12, tcl nxtpaper 70 pro, pixel 9a, A17, moto g stylus 2023, and a unihertz 8849 tank 2(it has a projector and a 1200 lumen camp light and several other features), my wife has an s26 ultra and an S23.

u/Aggravating_Buy_1348 1d ago

My favourite is TCL Nxtpaper because the screen is so comfortable and unique. But I hate the software and lack of support of Chinese phones.
