I am finally biting the bullet and looking to replace my OnePlus 8T, mainly because of the hassle that I have to go through whenever there is an update to the phone software that results in the VoWiFi and VoLTE disappearing.
As someone who uses their phone way too much, I really like the Warp Charge feature. I need to have NFC on the phone as I no longer really carry a wallet around. Beyond that…. I don't really use it for anything too specific? While I think of myself as a "power-user", in reality I'm not.
Budget wise - I'd like to keep it on the lower end. I definitely balk at spending more than $1,000 on a phone, and would far prefer to be closer to $500.
I'd like to support one of the smaller companies if possible - The Nothing Phone is great as a concept, but they seem to have crossed the line of "cool niche flagship killer" to "overpriced" very quickly.
