I mostly use apps installed from F-Droid, so I’m not sure how I’ll use the phone, except that it’s sometimes required as a contact method.

I don't like android 16. I already regret so much updating to Android 15 a few weeks ago: it's onky feature was making notifications huge and replace the monochrome logos with rhe app icon (which is not the one I have on my themed launcher) so it takes more space and is uglier. Same for the new control center: I had to disable it. Horrible locked screen experience too with less icons on top left and ios inspired dynamic island gimmicks.

Android 16, will be some design choices which are even less customizable I feel (but at least way better than ios broken transparency)
