Let me know which one you choose and if you like it, probably going to be in the market for a new phone soon ; have a pixel 6 pro currently and it's probably my favorite phone I've ever owned

I landed on the pixel 9 pro XL. It's ordered, hoping I'll have it in hand Saturday. After holding it in store, the build quality is better than the 2XL and 7 pro for sure. But I'll have to see how it performs out of the box once I get it

My next will likely be the A25

I have had an A25 now for about 2 months - It's my first smart phone ever so I have nothing to compare it to.  But it must be fairly easy to use and understand if this oldster can figure it out.  I am a bit disappointed on photo quality.  Mostly in macro mode and some of the color renderings - I was thinking/hoping for better quality there., but as everything in life you get what you pay for and this cost me less than $250. Speakers are actually not completely terrible.  Overall a good phone for me and it won't be the end of the world  when I ( likely) drop it into a piece of rotating machinery or something similar some day.

I upgraded to the S24+ a few weeks back. Very happy with it.

Pixel 9 Pro XL has been great. Literally zero issues or things I'd change as far as the phone goes.

My wife uses an old S 8 that was gifted to her.  Old as it is it takes better pics and has better screen quality than my new A25 so I can imagine the 24 is top notch.

The A series and S series have differences, but I'm not sure how far they go. I do know the S series is capable of taking a wireless charge, like those being installed in new vehicles, while the A series does not.
