Good afternoon from the UK community,
I've decided to post here because of a few reasons.
1) After purchasing my OP 6T in 2019 I stopped following mobile phone websites
2) I'm still enjoying the phone but battery life is decreasing a bit too far
3) The last real security update was November 2021 (ignoring the Google Play System update)
I would like to have a flagship phone experience now with
1) Near to stock Android experience
2) Excellent camera and video functionality
3) Decent storage option, at least 256GB as my 128GB are pretty much used up
4) Android version updates for at least 3 years
5) Security updates for at least 3-5 years
Of course I started to watch YouTube reviews and read on the internet and i do have some phones in mind.
1) Google Pixel 7 Pro
2) Xiaomi 12 (T) Pro
3) Samsung S22 Ultra (but since I'm in the UK it comes with Exynos chip, and quality of photos, zoom and video seem to not be on par with Snapdragon version), but love s-pen functionality (not a must though!)
4) Any other phone that you could recommend.
Issues right now. I've played around with a P7P in a store but because people apparently steal phones in the UK (London) I couldn't test any functions.
Pixel 7 Pro
1) One Youtube says excellent camera and video
2) YouTuber 2 says artifacts in 100% crop and I want to not only look photos on tiny screen
3) Noise in photos when in darker conditions
4) Battery either drains very fast or is fine
I really don't know if the Pixel will be fixed by software updates or if I won't have any issues at all. I just don't want to buy a phone that provides not good battery life.
Any help would be really helpful for me.
