I relied on HTC for 8 to 9 years, the M8 for 3 to 4 years, and the 10 for exactly 5 years(a battery replacement was made around halfway)
My HTC 10 died last year, so I had to get a new one. And non of the phones really looked interesting, never liked Samsung, nor Apple, they're both overpriced, in this region at least.
Google's Pixel line up seemed like a good option, providing a clean Android experience. So I went with the Pixel 6. At the current rate from USD to BDT, it probably cost me around $600. It's been 10 months now, and the phone just keeps on getting better with every update. Many consider the new Pixel lineup to be the "smartest" of all smartphones, and I say it's fairly true.
I've been using my Pixel 6 to click a lot of pictures, whenever I get the chance. It's the easy point and shoot type, yet the pictures are something else. 90% of the pictures I upload on Hive are taken on my Pixel.
I suggest you give the new Pixel 7 a look, you might like it. It's like no other Android smart phone, that's why it's not for everyone. The 7 Series is even smarter, it gets rid of the flaws from the 6. The 7 Pro is a good one too, especially if you want a better selfie camera and a telephoto lens, for better long-range and portrait shots. Bigger display with curved sides and a higher resolution, that's about it.
All in all, the non Pro, Pixel 7 is still the better deal I'd say. Currently it's priced at 600/650 Euros I think.
