For me it’s Motorola G72. It’s excellent for the price. The phone is super lightweight despite having a 5,000 milliamper battery. The UI is very snappy and animations are very smooth (high refresh rate). It supports double tap on the back plus all other neat Motorola gestures. The under display fingerprint scanner works extremely well.

    The Pixel a series I don’t see in public much. Usually comes months after the main Pixels come out, but the specs you get for the price point is insane. Also the fact you have top tier custom ROM support. This is the part where I shill that you should run GrapheneOS or CalyxOS.

      Pixel As in general seem to have better rom support, for example, Pixel 3a is one of the few devices with all ubuntu touch features working, while pixel 3 isnt even supported

        Yeah the trade in deals are sometimes insane too.

        I went from the 3a to the 6a and they had a $300 trade in deal. So I ended up only paying $150 and also got a pair of the pixel earbuds which are normally like $100 on their own. Insane deal.

        The trade in deal doesn’t seem to exist for the 7a right now tho, so idk when it comes out. Shame cuz I wanted that dope red colored 7a. The 6a is still really good for now though, just wish it had wireless charging.

      In Canada I’ve seen a massive uptick in seeing Pixel’s in public in the last year or two
