Hi there! I simply don’t know, which phone to buy, so I’m hoping to get some help…

First of all, I currently own a OnePlus 7T, which I’ve been very happy with. Recently though it’s begun to act in mysterious ways, which is the reason, I’m now looking to buy a new phone.

Regarding what I’m looking for in a phone, I like a decent camera, good battery capacity and charging speeds.
Furthermore, I prefer to buy new and recently released phones, even though they’re more expensive. I know it is often recommended to buy used phones or last gen phones, but I really like to have my phone supported for the longest time.

Regarding my own research, I first looked at the new OnePlus Nord 3, which looks great. I do however think the camera could be better (though the main sensor seems good). That also lead to to look at the OnePlus 11. It seems like a fine phone, but I’m questioning whether it’s price is worth it. I do want to mention however, that I love the notification slider on my OP7T, which is also present on the Nord 3 and OP11.

Afterwards, I was looking at the presumably upcoming Pixel 8 (probably the pro). It seems to tick most of the boxes, only running short in regards to the charging speed, which I feel is a big drawback. I habe also heard about numerously bugs and glitches regarding the pixel 7, and is slowly loosing my trust in Google’s ability to make phones. I do use a lot of Google services however, which would fit in nicely with the pixel.

Lastly, I’ve been looking at the Samsung S23+. It seems like a fine phone, and my only real drawback is that it’s expensive. Furthermore I don’t know if I love OneUi but I also don’t know that I don’t love it. I won’t wait for the S24 however, as that seems to be too long in the future.

I hope someone will help me decide. It doesn’t have to be any of those phones, and I’m more than willing to hear more pros and cons regarding different phones.

(Lastly, I’m based in Denmark)

      I get about 24-28hours of light tasks (Lemmy, web, mail) and about 12-14h of heavier use. I’ve activated the battery saver when under 25% battery so it stops trying to refresh and ping apps every 5 mins.
