This comment will get down voted to absolute zero but: Samsung has amazing hardware and one of the worst software you could possibly put on a mobile device. Probably worst experience I've ever had using a mobile device. My experience was with S10.

Google has fantastic software and absolute shit hardware. Terrible battery life. Phone constantly lags and overheats from normal use. Terrible reception and non stop Bluetooth problems. Currently suffering with p7pro.

Oneplus was a fantastic company that created a phone that combined top of the line hardware with decent software at a very reasonable cost. Unfortunately now enshittification took over. Phones are overpriced, support is nonexistent and resale/trade in value is near zero. My experience was with Op8pro. Probably second best phone I've ever owned.

Other manufacturers like Sony, Asus, Nothing and Motorola are really a niche market now. They seem happy targeting a very narrow range of market. I've tried several phones from each brand, but never kept one longer than a week.

I'm sticking with pixel at the moment because software is so good it's actually able to make this steaming pile of shit hardware semi functional.
