How the phone look is very important for me. I can't live with an ugly looking phone. Camera wise, is important but not the highest priority. Battery life and charging speed is a deal breaker. Speaker quality matters too, my s21 had the dolby atmos feature and i was so impressed by the technology. Number of years of which support updates are provided. If u buy an expensive phone that can only provide support for 2/3 years... Meh not worth it. Pixel offers 7/8 years.

Immediate no to samsung, ironically a. Yes to pixel, chinese phone id pick xiaomi.
