So, if I was to upgrade to a new android phone, which one to choose?

OnePlus seems solid again for new.
Pixels work well for used.
New and cheap? I wouldn't bother.
I know nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 will have a strong opinion
Pixel 8 or Pixel 8 Pro. The Pixel 9 will be out soon as well.
Latest pixel with grapheneos installed
I've been looking at these and they are meh. The only appeal is GrapheneOS and... I'm not sure it's worth bothering with.
Pixel 8 Pro is fantastic hardware all around. Graphene only matters if you care about your privacy/security. If ya don't, then agree
I recently upgraded to the Pixel 8 (non-pro) and I've been happy with my choice. I had to get a new magnetic car mount for my car so that I can charge it just by mounting.
It's OK enough hardware.
GrapheneOS is probably the most secure, but, it's not the be all and end of security. I've been running degoogled phones for most of a decade at this point. 🤷♂️
For $150 the TCL nxtpaper is amazing, the camera is not quite as good as my iPhone, but everything else is comparable
Motorola G42 with CalyxOS. Really cheap and great.
