They're all pretty much the same, unless you're looking for specific use cases, e.g. camera, outdoors ruggedness, gaming, specific OS build, etc. I stopped getting flagships once I realized my old ones battery started to swell like a cheaper phone. I'm on Android, so I get to replace any app with the one of my choice - I'm particular about data submissions to home and sneaky stuff like autotagging. Now all I look for is a recent android build (for app compatibility), decent camera hardware (I'll replace the app), IP68 and a good price.

I am still using Redmi note 5 pro and it's working great!
Samsung ultras series with a pen. The pen feeling is real-time. Also pretty robust little thing. I’ve had it a few years and I love this phone.
I also still have an lg g4 that still works. I keep it as a backup emergency given that it still works and has a replaceable battery.
Pixel 8 Pro. I'm satisfied of it. The first thing I did was unlocking and the second rooting.
S20FE. It was cheap ~500 when i got it and it had all the stuff i wanted (microsd, 120hz, latest chip, 3 cameras, flat screen).
Use Termux on android to run Linux natively with proot
S10+ it's running for me for the last 3 years. Used Samsung's cost like 1/4-> 1/3 the starting price about 1.5 years after release.
6s (2015) here. I know that perfect phone doesn’t exist and mine is getting older with every minute now, battery is a joke even after one replacement few years ago..
..yet for all those years I have trouble finding any replacement, and I am open for any direction that will just feel fine (at least), somehow nothing does.
Samsung A52. Great battery, 90hz, works with Tello, and is cheap.
Loving my zenfone 9, has some issues due to the supported network bands but its usable with some tinkering (USA).
Degoogled Pixel 4a that I bought to replace my broken Pixel 4a. I'm gonna use this thing until it dies and then maybe buy another one. I'm not sure when another phone this hold-able, reasonably powerful enough, and good LineageOS support will get released.
