What is everyone’s daily driver right now?

I’m currently rocking a pixel 6a but can’t shake an itching desire for an s23

      I moved from the Note to a Pixel 1 and haven’t looked back. I kept the Pixel 1 until it would not turn on anymore. I just feel in love with the simple clean Android install. After that I got a Pixel 4XL and a few months later my wife finally gave in and I got her a Pixel 5.

      A couple of months ago my wife dropped her 5 and just cracked the shit out of her screen. So I ordered her a Pixel 7, which she loves. Unfortunately not even a week later my Pixel 4 XL died. It won’t hold a charge without being plugged in. I didn’t want to spring for two new phones so close together, so I grabbed my wife’s old S8. I couldn’t take it. All the stupid Samsung specific apps. The inability to remove Facebook or Bigsby drove me nuts. I ended up just using her Pixel 5, broken screen and all over the S8. Hoping to get enough cash to order a 7 pro for myself soon.

      I’ll be sure to let everyone know when I do order a 7, because of history repeats itself like with my last two Pixel purchases, the Pixel 8 will be announced the next day.

        I am was previously using cheap Android phones second hand Blackberry Key2, Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 ( God I hated that phone so many issues with Gmail and the proximity sensor).

        My smartwatch took a dump Fossil Gen 5 and I wanted a really good battery ( I run a lot and do sports a lot) my options where a Galaxy Watch 5 Pro or Sunnto. I went with the Galaxy Watch.

        I really despise the bloated Samsung interface but I know it will pair really good with the smartwatch so I went with the Pixel 7. I regret a bit my choice because I can’t have the latest beta features of my smartwatch and I will have to wait for a couple of months to have the update.

        I am considering the Pixel Watch 2 but I kinda fell in love with the health features of Samsung Health with all the body composition that syncs with my scale the together feature where you do some steps challenges. I don’t know I am stuck with 2 ecosystems at the same time.
