For me it's Motorola G72. It's excellent for the price. The phone is super lightweight despite having a 5,000 milliamper battery. The UI is very snappy and animations are very smooth (high refresh rate). It supports double tap on the back plus all other neat Motorola gestures. The under display fingerprint scanner works extremely well.

Sadly the Pixel 3 is no longer getting security updates. Which custom ROMs mitigate a bit. But graphene OS has stopped supporting it. So if you're very security sensitive you probably want to stick with a phone that's still getting updates. That being said I love my Pixel 3A. Just sad it's not " safe anymore "

The e-waste treadmill of phones is really disappointing. I would love for a legislator to come along perhaps the EU, and say if you stop releasing security updates you must open source the drivers. So the community can take over
