Same here. Using a Pixel 6a but really hoping for more manual control in the camera app. The Xperia 1 V looks really good this generation, but then you're missing out on the excellent stock camera the Pixels are known for.

Pixel 7 Pro on 14 beta on tablet DPI, awaiting my Pixel Fold.
What do you think of it? I'm currently on an old note 9. I'd like a better camera but struggling to part with the SD card slot and 3.5mm jack. I like having my music with me and have a lot of wired headphones 😃
I'm also here on a Pixel 7, lots of my die hard android friends are also on Pixels as well.
I moved from the Note to a Pixel 1 and haven't looked back. I kept the Pixel 1 until it would not turn on anymore. I just feel in love with the simple clean Android install. After that I got a Pixel 4XL and a few months later my wife finally gave in and I got her a Pixel 5.
A couple of months ago my wife dropped her 5 and just cracked the shit out of her screen. So I ordered her a Pixel 7, which she loves. Unfortunately not even a week later my Pixel 4 XL died. It won't hold a charge without being plugged in. I didn't want to spring for two new phones so close together, so I grabbed my wife's old S8. I couldn't take it. All the stupid Samsung specific apps. The inability to remove Facebook or Bigsby drove me nuts. I ended up just using her Pixel 5, broken screen and all over the S8. Hoping to get enough cash to order a 7 pro for myself soon.
I'll be sure to let everyone know when I do order a 7, because of history repeats itself like with my last two Pixel purchases, the Pixel 8 will be announced the next day.
Mine is a Pixel 3 XL. Not sure if anyone is using an older Pixel at the moment in this sub
Just got a Motorola Stylus 5G refurbished for $180 - no complaints so far, can't beat it for the price
Love my Oneplus 6t. Been the best phone for custom Roms. Currently running /e/OS, no Gapps, clean and sleek.
Flip 3
Pixel 4 XL
I have an S23. I really enjoy it, but I'm also curious about the Zenfone 10. I really wanna see Asus succeed in their niche so I can have a great option next time around I get to upgrading.
Poco F5
Pixel 4a, it has great custom ROM support and I bought it specifically because it has a headphone jack.
I have an iPhone 12 mini and Samsung A32.
Pixel 6a, got it after my second Z Flip 4's screen started peeling.
Right now I'm using a Google Pixel 6 Pro. I was hoping to get the Pixel Fold, but it isn't launching in Canada, so not sure if I wait for a Pixel Fold generation that does or pull the trigger on the Z Fold 5 when it comes out.
Pixel 6 Pro. I'll probably get the Pixel Fold over the 8 Pro if there are good sales this fall.
Beat up old s9.
Not perfect but does everything I need it to.
At work I have an s23 ultra to play with, mostly for the camera.
I'm using a HTC U11 life.
I had to change the front camera.
And battery is draining quite fast now.
Samsung S20 FE, been solid for almost 2 years.
Pixel 7 Pro.
Apart from my first Android phone, which was a ZTE Blade, I've had only Nexuses or Pixels. While replacing/repairing phones I've briefly used OnePlus and Samsung, but neither meet the mark of the clean OS.
Motorola Edge 30 Pro, solid, nice display, nice price, nice OS
Still on a Note 20 Ultra, not feeling much need to upgrade!
I'm using a Google Pixel 6A (with a custom ROM at the moment). Other than the battery which I keep trying to find ways to remedy, it's been the best phone I've ever purchased (though to be fair, it's the most expensive phone I bought period).
Whether I'll stick to Google next time is kind of up in the air right now, I used to use a Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite, and while MIUI sucks in a couple of ways, there were also a lot of lovely perks I did really like, especially if you flashed your phone with xiaomi.eu instead xiaomi's official builds. Not to mention I could get a Poco F5 Pro for $460, which seems to tick all of the right boxes for me.
