Google now provides a full 7 years of parts and updates for the pixel 8 and 9. Samsung may I think now do 7 years of updates on some phones no idea about parts though.
Depends on your priorities but I'd also say Pixel even if keeping stock, best update policy
7 years of updates is nice
I feel like I could buy 8 of my phone with that money.
Most phones are basically the same nowadays. Even the cheapest one can run smoothly. Just make sure it got 8Go+ RAM and enough storage if it doesn't have external SD card capability. If these prior specs are met just get the one with the best camera. (In this situation, it's likely the Google pixel)
The Pixel
I'd seriously add the song xperia vi into that consideration. Solid audio and screen.
None. Pixel if you had to pick, but the SoC sucks. And the Asus phones have like no software support, so they are definitely not worth buying.
Only partially related answer but I'm being (foolishly) hopeful the new Samsungs (S25) might make it to LineageOS ... might ... one day ... perhaps.
No OnePlus?
I have had OP8 for few years now and its still working perfectly fine. Battery could be better but other than that its still fast and reliable.
I'm still rocking a OP6 running the latest Lineage. Cost me $60 used. $1000 for a phone is insane!
I would be as well just that I sadly bought a new phone before realising I can do that. Also my bank apps don't work on lineage sadly. The OP6 i however sitting in my drawer with lineage installed.
I love my Nothing Phone 2. Check them out.
Of the 3, probably Pixel,but if definitely we flashing it.
If you want more bang for your $ ... Check out Xiaomi POCO
