I go with Samsung because their flagship phones are powerful and tend to last me a few years at least. They make great screens and hardware. Their OS can be hit or miss but often they make solid updates outside of Android. One of my old favorites was samsung pay where you could pay using a simulated magnetic swipe of a credit card. They took out the feature once everyone went to chip, but it made samsung pay work literally anywhere that had a credit card swipe reader. Their phone switching migration tool was leagues better than Google's though I'm not sure if that's the case in 2021. They put out the biggest batteries of all flagship Android phones. There's a lot left to be desired in Samsung Androids including their flagrant use of ads in places where there shouldn't be ads, but they're a fantastic Android phone otherwise.
