What phone brand do you like the best? (midwest.social)

*In terms of privacy, customisation, camera quality, and battery time.

For the longest time I have only used either iPhone or Samsung. I plan on switching to Android for the next phone I get, but I find that Samsung phones are often too big for me and put too much energy on camera quality (I don’t take many photos). I have started to look into brands such as Nokia and Motorola, and I would like to know what you guys think of them. Additionally, do you suggest any other phone brands aside from them? My biggest priorities are privacy and long battery time. Bonus if the phone can run LineageOS (I have excluded Graphene as they are only compatible with Pixel phones).

Thank you for any answers. Cheers!

In general, they stop providing updates when Google does. Check both to be sure, but newer is better if you want longer support.

I'm going Google will launch a Pixel 8a in a couple months so I can either get it or the 8 at a discount.

For posterity and nuance, here's the answer from their site: Which devices are supported? but you're right for the most part.
