Im approaching the point of a new phone, and I've been wondering about what would be the equivalent of an iPhone durability-wise (I'm still seeing iPhones 7 being used daily) but for android. I was actually considering a used pixel but now you left me very confused lmao. It seems the good build quality is not a constant.
My pixel 5 is one of the styrdiest phones I have ever owned. It's been just fine for years and I don't use a case or screen protector
I'm running a pixel 7 with out a protector, but a basic phone case. Run fine and it's going to be supported by 3rd party roms for that extra security/os longevity.
I've got a pixel 6t that might survive for another 2-3 years, at least.
OTOH, I've heard nothing terrible things about newer pixels - not just from reviewers, even people whom I know. My mom got a OP Nord something an year or so back and it seems to on its last leg already.
Go back to being not confused, I guess.
My Asus Zenfone 8 is still going strong after 2+ years. Case and screen protector help, of course
I'm keeping my almost 4 year old note 20 ultra for as long as possible. I'm super bitter about phones no longer having a micro sd card slot.
I'm using a Pixel 7. Definitely doesn't require a case, I just use one to level off the camera a bit.
