#2I'm still on my Samsung S8. The rapid release cycle made me apathetic to every new phone release.
Lists like this are good, I want to maximize considering useful features (battery) while ignoring useless additions (1mm thinner!)

#3the pixel 3a is made with non-gorilla glass. didnt we learn like 10 years ago thats a bad idea on a phone? my keys scratched it up in a single day and the whole thing shattered within a couple of weeks. garbage.
edit: i know people are saying its dragontail which is supposedly as strong as gorilla. well empirically speaking, i can say that is false; the same key scratches my pixel 3a easily but doesnt leave a mark on my pixel 2. take that for what its worth. ymmv.

#4I feel like at some point in the near future phone naming conventions will adopt the car manufacturer naming convention of just being the name of the car and then whatever year it is. It would be silly to have the Samsung Galaxy S26 or the Apple iPhone 32 XR instead it should just be the Samsung Galaxy (2028) and the Apple iPhone (2025) or whatever year it is. The updates to the phones will start to get very insignificant from year to year.

It's half the price of phones with similar spec, and there are reasons for that. It also has a plastic shell. I have mine wrapped up in a case/screen protector.

By the same token, didn't we learn 10 years ago that cell phones and keys are better off in different pockets?

What I learned 10 years ago is that glass is fragile and to keep it in its own pocket. My Pixel 3a doesn't have a scratch on it.

If you keep your phone in a bag that may not be possible.

#9The Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro has very good cameras and a headphone jack for about 430 USD: https://www.mi.com/global/mi-9-t-pro
In some markets it's called the Redmi K20 Pro.

For Apple specifically it seems that they are more keen on keeping their iOS devices on a different naming scheme. The macbook lines already do the naming convention based on 'early' 'mid' and 'late' year, for example mid 2018 macbook pro
