Have you considered OnePlus? Their cameras aren't the best, but they're usually as good as the other top brands in everything else.

- BeetleB 4y agoYikes! I have a OnePlus 5T that I'm very happy with. Amusingly I was thinking of getting a Pixel 6 until I saw this thread, and thought "Oh well, back to OnePlus." Now I don't know what to get.
- aaaaaaaaata 4y agoIs Pixel hardware the problem? Or untested buggy Google shovel-ware?
- BeetleB 4y agoI would argue the value add of the Pixel 6 is the proprietary Google SW. I was considering the Pixel 6 only for its photo abilities, and a lot of those are via Google SW - not fantastic lenses/processors. If I replace it with a custom ROM, the OnePlus is probably a better device (faster processor, etc). If the Google SW is so buggy, there's no compelling reason to buy one just because of the HW.

- BeetleB 4y agoWould I get access to the proprietary camera features with these? If not, what's the point of getting a Pixel 6 and putting a custom ROM on it when there is better HW out there?
- qu4z-2 4y agoMan, I'm old enough to remember when Linus stood for the Linux guy. I was a little confused until I clicked the link.
- Hamuko 4y agoI lost my confidence in OnePlus when one of their OTA updates soft-bricked my OnePlus 5 on Christmas Eve. Lost all of the data that wasn't backed up, since I had to perform a complete wipe and the phone was encrypted. Also, OnePlus doesn't have a good track record when it comes to this particular issue: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-40656034 https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-40656034
