Pixel 7a

There's not really any innovation going on at this point. Pixel A series will get my vote every year for a few basic reasons:

  • relatively affordable
  • runs GrapheneOS
  • Many years of software support received very early.
  • Bonus: best smartphone camera money can buy

I have my pixel 7 and it has been great except the speakers kind of suck compared to the 6 pro and 6a

The plastic back feels pretty bad (cheap and flexes inwards) and it's way too thick and heavy (also too large, but so is almost every phone these days). Still, a great phone if those aspects don't bother you.
