I have a Samsung S20, it’s starting to have issues, so I’m looking at something decent, need large screen 6in+, prefer powerful phone for future proofing. I don’t intend to glash it the 1st year, last phone I put a custom ROM on was my Note4. Right now I’m looking at the 1+ 12 and the pixel 8 pro, the pixel 9pro is just out of my price range. Is there anything else I should be looking at?

    I’m looking to upgrade my phone as well. One important thing I want is call recording, and that really narrows the options.

    Samsung phones can record calls, but you need to use SamFW to change the CSC. LineageOS does not support recent models.

    OnePlus phones have better hardware specs, but I think nowadays you have to root with Magisk and use BCR for recording. That breaks banking apps. LineageOS supports some OnePlus models, but not 12.

    Pixels don’t have native call recording? But GrapheneOS works on them. Again, many apps are broken.

    Fairphone might be interesting, I should look into that.
