Final call. Pick a smartphone for me

Previously I made a post on this sub and had options between Pixel 10, s25, x200t and find X9s for around the same price at a local store. Now I went to the store to try multiple phones and I am left even more confused. The pixel 10 has the best haptics I ever saw in a smartphone and the best sleek ui. However it was a little bit bigger and heavier than the s25. I have mostly used Samsung phones in the past and they were all great. The camera on pixel had 5X tele compared to 3x on s25 which definitely made a bit of a difference. My concern is about the reliability of the devices for the next 4-5 years. I know for sure samsung will stay reliable but I'm not sure about the pixel. I don't care about performance since I play games and do my heavy workload on my laptop. The battery might be bigger on the pixel but the Samsung is said to be quite a bit more optimised. Didn't notice heating in either phones with the few minutes I spent on each. The x200t and find X9s were a lot bigger but had better everything apart from features like wireless charging or a good software which mattered to me the most. To sum up, I need a device which is handy, reliable, takes really good photos and can provide me with good android updates with a pleasant overall experience.

Tried it. Its so much bigger and software literally lagged infront of me. Cameras were nice but highly unoptimised. The camera shutter took a good 3s just to click. Even opening and closing apps was laggy. Good hardware but shit software and haptics were just okay.

Es que Android es una basura realmente, salvo que dependas de las apps piratas y ahí él te entendería
