I currently have an iPhone SE2020 (yeah, I'm cheap) but looking to upgrade, possibly even going Android (google pixle or whatever it's called). I just don't want to spend over a grand on an iPhone. Fuck Apple. Well, not quite fuck them, but if the underdog has a good alternative I'll go for that.

What's the problem with the SE?  That's what I have and I love it.

Not much, to be honest. I've had mine for a couple of years and am looking for something new.

One of the 'a' model Pixels. 6a is coming out soon. 5a is a solid phone too from what I read, but is no frills and already a year old. I have the 4a.

Pixel's had a borked update which screwed up the camera and made everything laggy as shit. It should have been resolved by now.

If you are imbedded in the Apple system, then stay with Apple. I say this and I dislike Apple. 

How much are you looking to spend?

The 5a is basically the same under the hood as the 5, but it (5a) is larger, has a larger battery, and possibly more water resistance IIRC.  I have a 5, and my wife has a 5a.  Both are rock solid.

 

I haven't experienced any screwed up camera or lag.

Yeah the only software issues I've had with mine are the gestures screw up when trying to close apps sometimes. It's only certain apps and not really sure when it started.

I hate my phone, and my last phone too!  100% of my "smart phones" have been Motorola's running Android.  Is my hate toward Motorola or Android?

depends on why you hate it.

Likely Motorola, more likely that it's not flagship. 

Get a Flagship phone and be happy.

As someone that can't stand Macs, my iPhone is one of the best devices ever created. Used Android for a long time because iPhones were/are so damn expensive. But now that I've had one for a few years, I don't know how I ever used Android.

things that annoy me about my iphone: notifications system, app drawer clutter, imessage's spam handling and lack of archive function, swipeupfrombottomswipeupfrombottomswipeupfrombottom UI design, face unlock isn't quite as reliable as non-screen fingerprint sensors, uses a different charging cable than literally everything else i take on vacation

things that annoy me about my pixel: takes forgodamnever to charge, curved screen edges, in screen fingerprint sensor isn't as reliable as the old back of phone sensor (and doesn't support gestures), it's too damn big.

Verizon was just giving $800 credit for trade ins. Three of us all got new iPhone 13s for basically free. I think the deal may be over though.
