What is everyone's daily driver right now?

I'm currently rocking a pixel 6a but can't shake an itching desire for an s23

Pixel 7a. I recently moved to this from a Fold3. If the pixel fold has any sort of dex-like functionality, the pixel fold 2 will probably be my next phone.

Curious, why did you decide to switch from Fold 3 to Pixel 7a?

The main motivator was that I found myself using the outside screen in the fold 90% of the time and it is not a good screen to use 90% of the time.

There were also some software issues with some apps. Google messages, for example, would crash if I tried using it on the open screen. While I recognize that's a error on the app development side, so few apps are being properly developed for foldables, it was a legitimate issue.

The final deciding factor was repair. I'm very lucky to have a Samsung store near y, but when I needed that exterior display replaced, 3 ubreakifix locations were unable to service the phone for various reasons.
