Google misses the deadline to manufacture TSMC-based SoC for the Pixel 9, may not see till Pixel 10 (www.androidauthority.com)

Looks like Google falls further behind as they fail to properly design and update newer iterations of Pixel phones. Rather than have a superior TSMC chip within the next 13 months, which would have a higher quality manufacturing process and significantly reduce power consumption, it looks like it'll be closer to 25 months if we're lucky.

The original owners have since sold off the company to BBK Electronics in China and now China manufactures them. Now they sometimes share designs with other Chinese phones like Oppo, but more importantly OxygenOS has changed from a mostly stock Android rom to basically the US version of the Chinese ColorOS. So not only has the hardware been copied and pasted, but so has the hardware and people just don't trust that.

Now the old CEO of OnePlus ended up ditching the company to form his own startup Nothing. There currently exists the Nothing Phone 1 and 2 and I've kinda been eyeing them in case they make a super interesting product one year.

I was also going to look at the Asia Zenphone

Asus Zenfone 10 is pretty beloved by all of its owners. It's just not a popular phone unfortunately.

lol yes Asus. I was comparing it to my P6P and there are still some shortcomings. Would be a great phone at $450 but for $650 - pass for now.
