I have a Samsung S20, it's starting to have issues, so I'm looking at something decent, need large screen 6in+, prefer powerful phone for future proofing. I don't intend to glash it the 1st year, last phone I put a custom ROM on was my Note4. Right now I'm looking at the 1+ 12 and the pixel 8 pro, the pixel 9pro is just out of my price range. Is there anything else I should be looking at?

Pixel goes on seriously steep sale in holiday season. If you are in the U.S. and you think the price is right, you can wait for that.

I personally will take the pixel over oneplus, just because I like the android aesthetics and like to keep the possibility of modding open.

They also have some pretty crazy trade-ins sometimes. I got my P7 for ~$100 plus a free set of Pixel buds.

The main reasob I was looking at 1+ is they are giving more than twice the trade in value that google give.
