I would not recommend a Pixel 6 or anything newer. Samsung can't seem to get 5g working on their own modems (chip that connects to carrier). Samsung generally uses Qualcomm modems for their expensive products. I do hear less people complain with the Pixel 8 but no one should be complaining about a modem in a phone.
I wouldn't recommend anything older than a Pixel 6, because the 5a will reach its EOL in August, and all the older devices already reached their EOL. Regarding the modem, I don't know what you are talking about, I never had any issues on the 6a and the 7 Pro, and never heard about such issues. But feel free to explain this to me.
I have the 6. I set my phone to prefer LTE to gain HOURS of battery life and to get a more stable connection. I always have an issue where the phone may take a minute after pressing call to actually initiate a phone call.
My next phone is probably going to be OnePlus. Either the 6T on PostMarketOS if it actually works or just the latest cheaper model (but I'll wait till the 13, the 6 is only like 2.5 years old).
Isn't the 6T like ancient? Also, bye bye app compatibility and battery life when running postmarketOS.
Yeah, its 6 years old. I'm not recommending people to try PostMarketOS. It's just on my to do list.
