If Google's custom soc is good I'd love to finally own a pixel. Hate having to use chinese phones to get non bloated android at a reasonable price.
The a line of pixel phones is great too. Unlike other brands that gimp the shit out of everything below their $1100 option, the pixel a just makes the full fat ones feel like a worse deal
I feel like a bit of a unicorn for using a Nokia 5.4. Never met another person that uses any of Nokia's recent smartphones. 😭
Nokia still makes smartphones!?!?!?!?!?
(Well at least now you know what the problem is. Why aren't they advertising this?)
Not really, the company is called HMD Global, Nokia has an investment in it and there are probably a lot of former Nokia employees working there, but it's not a subsidiary.
Ah okay, thanks for explaining it. Guess I should just stick with Pixel devices, then. (I miss the old OnePlus; they used to be such a good alternative to Pixels.)

I had a Xperia 1III I really enjoyed using it, but my fingerprint sensor just quit work on it on day. Outside of the warranty too so it doesn't help. So I upgraded to a Pixel 7 Pro as I had a 4XL prior to it and liked that.
Would've gone with the 1V, but the 1III was my first Sony phone and that happening sketched me out. Might get another though once it's time to upgrade this one or it craps out. Sony is doing what a lot of other companies aren't and I respect that.
Pixel with CalyxOS checking in
I have a Pixel myself and I have to say, it's a good phone. It has a coherent experience and I've been able to customize it to my needs.
I also had a couple of phones from other OEMs (not Apple, lol) and they had more useless bloatware that was a pain, and an overall less coherent UX. I think the UX is what gets users to stay (obviously), so I do hope that more Android OEMs will focus in more on that so they can break Apple's market domination in the US.
Everyone wants to adopt the Apple model of hardware+software as one (because it's the most profitable). Microsoft is trying with their Surface line, Google with the Pixel, Samsung with their fully custom Android-based OS.
What phones is Motorola selling now-a-days? Flip phones?
They make decent budget phones and an expensive flip phone that's also great.
