Oneplus 7 Pro

Overall I like it, had it for about 2 years now and bought it used. I usually buy 1-2 year old flagship phones since they get so cheap.

Plusses:

It was cheap
Battery easily lasts me a day
Feels nice to hold
Screen is huge
It's still very fast/responsive
Charges fast

Negatives:

The curved edges on the screen can make it hard to hold, and cause random touches sometimes
Fast charging is their stupid proprietary VOOC thing, finding any chargers that support it is hard
Screen washes out contrast when in 90hz mode and looks bad
Camera often looks really over sharpened and artificial, while having way too much noise reduction applied, video is pretty poor with the same issues. Just normal smartphone camera things.

Other phones I've had were an Essential PH-1, LG V10, Samsung Galaxy S3, and HTC Dream. By far the worst was the Samsung, their OS has improved since but back then it was absolutely awful. Favorite was the LG V10, that was such a great phone and felt like you could chuck it at a wall without any damage.

I tried an iPad once but their OS is really frustrating, trying to do any normal stuff like just have access to a filesystem to store/sync items is impossible.
