I think I’m switching away from Pixel for my next phone. I’ve hated my Pixel 6; it’s too big.
I’m probably going to the Asus Zenfone 10 next.
Same here. Moreover, it gets too hot, has no headphone jack, and has a big camera bump.
I found my Nexus 5 yesterday, it was so small and sooo light, felt so nice in the hand.
I also have a Pixel 6 and love it, but it’s heavy and so slippery without a case.
Old comment, but I moved out of the country last year,and sifted through lots of old stuff.
Found my old Nexus S. That was my favorite phone, ever. Tiny, light, oleophobic coated curved screen …
Same I hate that phones are getting bigger and bigger. I was even considering going for the iPhone 13 mini
I’m probably the most unloyal customer here. I bought the phone *for the OS*, not the opposite.
So probably anything that GrapheneOS supports
I’m a software nerd, my biggest priority is keeping Android up-to-date on security and features, so it really seems like Samsung would be the best fallback option with a proven track record of getting security updates out as quick (or quicker) than Google and typically promising 4 years of OS upgrades/5 years of security patches (here’s an article with many phone manufacturers policies). I’d really miss the stock Android experience and unlockable bootloader though!
Yeah, same.
I’ve moved from Samsung to Pixel and I think I actually prefer oneui for some of the software features. I had to disable a few things on Samsung and I don’t like the secondary store being necessary for some updates, or the parallel Samsung version of a bunch of apps. Or having to be careful to avoid installing a bunch of bloat. That being said, once carefully set up, a Samsung phone is smooth, battery was excellent in my experience, great performance, hardware strong. I think if Pixels had Snapdragon based processors over modified Exynos, and a bump in battery they’d be considerably stronger.
I wish I could buy a Linux phone, but they are not ready yet.
And never will be.
The new Razr seems cool to me, not sure I’d actually hold onto it but the concept of being able to flip it into a square and tuck it away is awesome. Can’t do Samsung phones because of OneUI though!
I had great experiences with Motorola in the past. Probably lean towards that.
I loved my Essential PH-1 and I wish that would have gotten a new device, but alas, I love my Pixel and each time I ventured out to try something new, I always returned.

My P7 has been such a disaster. My P2 and 5’s were the best phones I’ve ever had. My friend uses the OnePlus and swears by it. I may go that route.
I moved from a Xiaomi Mi11 to a P7. My decision was based largely on the camera but also the phone have relatively good reviews.
Camera A+, battery (for my use case) A+, however first time travelling with the phone has been a disaster. Android auto constantly disconnecting causing navigation nightmare. Can’t log onto hotel WiFi connects disconnects so basically using 4G always for the week away.
I think next phone work be back to Xiaomi I’ve really been unimpressed.
As far as the Wifi is concerned, sometimes the fault lies within the router as it might be using a band where there is too much interference.
Aside from every other device I have connects flawlessly. Samsung s21 and Xiaomi Pad 5
Cheap OnePlus mobile with LOS since they are one of the very few alongside Google who let people unlock their bootloader
I’d probably prefer a Sony device of some sort but they aren’t well priced, so Motorola I guess. I had a Motorola X4 before I got into Pixels, and while I didn’t like it being slippery glass, the software was nice and not bloated. It was part of the Android One program, which might not exist anymore.
I would have gone for a zen 9, I like bare systems with no bloat. PinePhone (if I remember correctly, the repareable one?) was tempting me as well.
I think the new Nothing Phone looks pretty good
It’s a weird request but I’ll probably jump from a pixel 7 pro to any phone that supports usb-c video output in the future. I’ll stick with my 7 pro for another year or two and then hop probably to Samsung… but I’m open to other options. I’m hopeful the nothing phone 2 will have USB-C 3.1 and support video out.
I want to be able to watch things on my train commute without having to hold my phone up to my face in the middle of a packed train. It’s a niche use case but it’s a major selling point for me.
Sony, maybe…
I sort of want one of those Oukitel phones that are as thick as a pack of cards and have like 15000 mAh batteries.
