I'm pretty happy with my Google Pixel 5 so far.

The google pixels are OK and cheaper than the Samsungs. They just don't have all the refinements to them. Mine is fast and works a lot better than my S9 did. I buy my phones unlocked.

For reference, I currently use a S9, and have looked into de-googling after recent events. The US models use a Qualcomm CPU rather than Samsung's own processor for whatever legal reason, so it's different than the rest of the world. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Motorola Moto/Lenovo/MotorolaMobility? lolno. Motorola Solutions? They make one phone, and it's not a phone I'd recommend for most users. Pixel would be my choice today if you don't have specific requirements beyond carrier and os.

What are you trying to spend? I'm a Galaxy fanboy. I started with the 4, then the 6 Edge, then the 8+, Now the 20+ 5g but they are pricy.

Lots of choices I see, if like to keep it under $1200 or so. I will buy outright, not that stupid payment plan shit.

Samsung Galaxy or Google Pixel.
I don’t know how it is for Verizon. I have AT&T. If you get an unlocked phone with ATT, Voice over LTE and WIFI calling are not available. The phone has to switch the cell connection from LTE or 5G to HSPA to make a phone call. Which translates into several seconds of waiting for the call to connect when dialing. Also means that I miss incoming calls occasionally. Check that Verizon doesn’t do any of that bullshit before buying an unlocked phone.

Lol, somebody asking the Internet a generic “what phone should I get” isn’t doing all that. |
