I got a samsung galaxy s23 ultra. Battery and stylus are dope, camera is fun to use, but it's slightly too big.
LG G8X from 2019. Bought it used last year for a 100€ with the second display case. It runs circles around any modern budget options.
Pixel 8 sounds like what you're looking for.
If you live in the US and want something on a budget, I recommend last year's Moto G Stylus 5G (the 2023). You can find it for around $250. For the price, you get:
- More than adequate performance, especially at this price point (Snapdragon 6 Gen 1).
- Adequate RAM (6GB)
- Lots of storage (256GB)
- Decent cameras (50MP + 8MP UW)
- Great display (120Hz FHD+ IPS LCD)
- Great battery life
- Headphone jack(!)
- MicroSD slot(!!)
Damn, that does sound pretty good. Is the OS pretty close to stock?
Can depend a bit on your carrier but yeah pretty close. Only issue is the security updates can be infrequent. I love Motorolas as work phones though, the twist motion to turn on the camera and the chop motion for the flashlight are super convenient for an IT guy doing lots of rummaging

iPhone 13, currently.
My only Apple product besides the AirPods.
Galaxy S24 Ultra. I got really pissed off at the Pixel 7 Pro and bought this on a (very costly) whim. But this is the first phone I really like since the Note 9. The screen is gorgeous. The software is better than stock android on the Pixel. And it can actually make phone calls!
I use a Fairphone 4 running Murena's e/os. The experience has been pretty good so far. I haven't needed to repair the phone yet but it's nice to know I have the option. The os doesn't have any quirks I can't live with. I like their app store, it gives every app a privacy score based on what logging it has and permissions it uses.

Pixel 8 Pro/CalyxOS. Originally considered PinePhone/FairPhone, but mobile Linux just doesn't cut it for me quite yet. Originally considered installing GrapheneOS, but learned that the developer is yikes.
There are a handful of issues, but it's working pretty well overall. I don't miss iOS, except for Spotlight.
Pixel owner here.
Do you feel like you've given up on any major flagship Pixel technology by putting another OS on it?
GrapheneOS now supports android auto. Then one thing missing for me is google pay (paying with the phone through nfc) as google does not allow it "because of security".
Anything Pixel specific? No. However, stuff like Android Auto isn't here. The Pixel features are either too gimmicky for me to care about, have suitable alternatives, or just still work.
It's mostly the camera performance I'd be willing to take zero compromises

I got a seconhand Samsung S22+.
Great size (my last phone was too small), battery good, performance is great, screens good. Everything is good.
But the camera is meh. I'm really disappointed by that and I don't know what to do. Sure it's an upgrade on my 5 year old cheaper Chinese phone. But I thought it was meant to have a great camera, the default setting are some shitty Instagram looking ai filter where the sky is the bluest blue much darker than reality, grass is some glowing bright green it looks like a fucking video game. I managed to fix a lot of that but it's still meh, night mode is fairly bad too.
If you care about a natural looking camera, I suggest either going into manual mode, getting a different camera app, or getting a Sony Xperia phone. Samsungs are known for having spruced up shots out of the box.
