The last Pixel I bought was the Pixel 2 XL, which showed me Google has devolved into manufacturing very poor hardware. I returned/replaced my phone FOUR times through Google directly due to the speaker always getting a nasty rattle every single time. I'm the end, I just kept the last one, which still rattled like the others.
Currently, I'm on a Galaxy 12 ultra, and the hardware is incredible (this has always been samsung's strong suit.) This said, there are minor software issues that make me miss the Pixel experience. Nothing like how it used to be, though, and overall I'd heavily recommend these phones to people. Their cameras have always been the best, and that's coming from a long-term professional photographer.
I know this isn't open source, but you can root these easily, or install a ROM and get the most freedom possible!
