What phone is a power user's best bet in 2023? - FMHY

With fewer phones including stand-out features, I’m curious to know what everyone thinks the best phone for an android enthusiast/power user is nowadays? Your definition of a power user is obviously up to you, but I always thought of one as someone who experiments with third party apps, is open to flashing, sideloads apps, debloats, etc in order to get the most bang for your buck, and the first thing that comes to mind is the Pixel series (but what do i know?) What do you all think?

I might be a bit biased but I went for a Sony Xperia 1 Mark 4. Yes it is last years model but the performance is supurb. For me it was down to form factor. I tend to dislike curved or waterfall screens and Sony has stuck to truly flat screens. The second sticking point was expandable storage. Sony still has an SD card slot. I have 1.5TB of combined storage. The addition of an actual headphone jack and mechanical zoom lens were just icing on the cake.

Seems like a great phone, sad that the price is a bit high

I actually picked mine up on Swappa for $690. At that price it was very competitive against other flagships. It might even go down a bit with the new Mark 5 coming out soon.
