I have a OnePlus 9Pro, pretty good experience, the SD 888 chip isn't as efficient as it should be however.

Galaxy S21 FE. Went for reliability after the LG Wing.
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.
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.
I am was previously using cheap Android phones second hand Blackberry Key2, Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 ( God I hated that phone so many issues with Gmail and the proximity sensor).
My smartwatch took a dump Fossil Gen 5 and I wanted a really good battery ( I run a lot and do sports a lot) my options where a Galaxy Watch 5 Pro or Sunnto. I went with the Galaxy Watch.
I really despise the bloated Samsung interface but I know it will pair really good with the smartwatch so I went with the Pixel 7. I regret a bit my choice because I can't have the latest beta features of my smartwatch and I will have to wait for a couple of months to have the update.
I am considering the Pixel Watch 2 but I kinda fell in love with the health features of Samsung Health with all the body composition that syncs with my scale the together feature where you do some steps challenges. I don't know I am stuck with 2 ecosystems at the same time.
I have an iPhone 12 mini and Samsung A32.
Pixel 6 Pro. I'll probably get the Pixel Fold over the 8 Pro if there are good sales this fall.
Redmi K20 Pro (or Mi 9T Pro). Running Evolution X A13. Love it still. Probably next Pixel if they make it compact as I desperately wish for a small phone
Sony Xperia 5 IV, refused to get a phone without a headphone jack and hate the annoying cut outs for front facing cameras that pretty much every modern phone has. I much prefer the straight bezels across the edges that my Xperia has and it also has the added plus of allowing for the front facing stereo speakers.
Pixel 7.
I know that a few others have had problems with this phone, but it's been fairly solid for me. Camera is great, too.
Now that I've said that, I've probably jinxed it, and will RMA it tomorrow...

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.
Still on a Note 20 Ultra, not feeling much need to upgrade!
