My trusty Samsung Galaxy S7 that I bought in 2017 is bricked and now I must buy a new phone. What are the recommendations of the hexbear community for a replacement? I was satisfied with my elderly phone except that there was a lot of junk that came with the phone that I couldn't delete, and for the last couple years or so I've had to delete an app before I could add an app, so that was kind of annoying. But other than that, I was happy with it, so I don't need the newest coolest thing.

    I've been liking the Pixel A series since they're cheaper than the flagship Pixel phones but they have all of the good software meme shit like having your phone wait through call center wait times without having to listen to a 10 second jazz loop for three hours, and automatic call screening sh*t

    I upgraded to the 5a in 2021 after using a Note 3 since 2013, and it has been going strong for a year now and right now it goes from 100% battery to 60% battery after using it on and off for like 13 hours so it could easily go for 20+ hours probably i just never have the phone off the charger for that long y'know

    Pixel 7a is due to release in three days and unless it's more expensive than the 5a and 6a it should be a decent deal and have a good security update lifespan since it just came out
