I am looking to upgrade my old Pixel 3 XL. I use my phone with I love Google cameras and pure android software. I don't like Samsung UIs. I am wondering what a good option for me beside Google is phones.
Sony phones are really bad with updates. They have very short 2 year update and the updates are extremely buggy almost making the phone a brick. Look at Xperia 5 iv android 13 same with Xperia 5 iii. Nothing is good with updates, Motorola updates are stable but still have short update cycle and security updates are not monthly for most phones.
you can install another launcher on samsung and get pixel-like xp without compromising on hardware. Zenfone is a bit worse for hard, better for software, but much worse for update support. Fairfone is too chunky but 8y of OS updates
