this guy is a genius when it comes to anything related to imaging. he's responsible for most of the distinguished features of google camera app, and lately he moved to work for adobe to develop a universal camera app. my only gripe is that it's adobe, so expect their usual fucked up subscription scheme once it's released. but i bet levoy will deliver.

i'm in the same dilemma
sony (5 is good, both generations)
samsung
sharp (aquos zero 2 looks decent)
some other smaller brands without support
but bottom line is that android will run on these anyway, so just get a pixel 4a and you'll never be happier with an android device
btw i'd seriously consider running sailfish if it was available and supported for my old phone. looks fancy: https://sailfishos.org/
tthere are some linux phones too if you're a true geek, like
https://puri.sm/products/librem-5/ or there's an other commercial model called pinephone or something similar

there are recurring issues with google phones: the latest (p5) had weak screen glue job so basically no water resistance despite being advertised as an ip rated phone, the 4 and 4 xl had terribad battery life, 2xl had a blue tint on the screen, etc.. so they aren't necessarily wrong
4a is fine though, and the user experience is second to none. okay, to oneplus maybe

P5 has also stereo problems and terrible audio for calls
which android phone would you buy today for ~600€ or less?
i had to replace the pixel 2 finally after more than 3 years, it was my best phone by quite a margin. i kept using it until i had to charge it twice a day, it was just perfect in every sense so i never really wanted to switch. i bought a oneplus nord 2 just to have something in my pocket. i like it overall, it's fast, has a 2-day battery in my hands, relatively moderate in size, but it's slippery, the plastic frame feels cheap af, and you have to switch the nfc off and on before every payment, so it's a bit of a mixed bag. i also miss the ip68 rating for added peace of mind. so what's out there that's water resistant to a degree, doesn't feel cheap, not buggy, and won't cost you a fortune? pixel 6 would be an obvious choice, but it has a bad rep due to bugs and slow fingerprint sensor. samsung s21 fe maybe?
or should i just forget android and get an iphone with an ugly notch, zero flexibility, but rock solid user experience and long sw support?
