If you want s20 fe but smaller, there is the s21. Pixel 6 honestly isn't worth dude, it has a 90 Hz display and no telephoto. If you want headphone jack and wireless charging there is the lg v60 and sony 1 ii. Which of these is most important to you? (it'll help you decide) Thing is, if you don't want the fastest in the world, aluminum frame or wireless charging, Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G, Realme GT Master or Nord 2 will do. Oneplus is good but misses a few things. Pixel 5 is compact and has a lot of those stuff. Oneplus and Google all have near stock android, better software than Samsung.
Let me know if you want iPhone, which is a completely different path. But for now, wait for S21 fe as s20 fe has almost all features you want.

    almost 3 months now, it need new update list.

        Asus Zenfone 8 or Samsung S20 FE 5G or OnePlus 8T?

        I want IP68 (8T is lacking but has rubber gaskets anyway), metal frame, OIS on main camera, stereo speakers. microSD slot (Samsung), 3.5 mm jack (Asus) and wireless charging (Samsung) are also welcome. I want also good battery life (Asus is lacking in this department) and good software.

        Waiting for Google Pixel 6 and S21 FE but is it worth waiting?

                  I'm so surprised to see just a single device from Samsung. That too in the premium slot.

                          Phone Reviewer, 01 Aug 2021They must be bathing in Mi-bucks right now. 7 out of 11 rec... moreRealme 8 Pro Is more suitable at the value camera department. The Poco F3 makes my head full of question marks too. Somehow getting the battery life king. And you must know that xiaomi is made for being cheap, so i dont think they bought it lol

                            Re_update for July 😅

                              Also, how is S21 a flagship killer? Their different price tiers are so weird. Putting iPhone 12 and Oneplus Nord both in premium phones, and saying the oneplus nord is "almost there".

                                They must be bathing in Mi-bucks right now. 7 out of 11 recommendations are Mi phones. Sure Mi phones are good, but their choices are strange. Choosing Poco F3 for battery life when it's not even the best, not mentioning Realme 8 Pro at all in midrange, while recommending the 200g mega brick that is Poco X3 NFC over more sensible sized phones like Redmi note 10 that are just as good. No Huawei anywhere in best cameras, and other weird choices. Strange.

                                  No mention of OnePlus 9 Pro anywhere? Not even in flagship phones? Yet they recommend Oppo Find X3 Pro which is basically the same as OnePlus yet is more expensive. Right. And recommend the 8 Pro in camera phones. "OnePlus 9 Pro is not better than 8 Pro camera wise", what bs is this.

                                    asus rog 5 phone is great option at good price with good hardware and optimization.

                                      OP1, 09 Jul 2021It is a bit weird they have not mentioned OnePlus 8T or One... moreI have the 8T and even though I am getting the itch to upgrade (boredom more than anything) there is nothing available that can top it IN MY OPINION! My last 3 phones have been from OnePlus, 6, 7-Pro, and 8T and all have been flawless for me. I don't care about photos...let me rephrase...I am not obsessed with camera specs to the nth degree like so many claim they are. I am sort of interested in the Zenfone 8...but too many issues so far. Waiting on the Pixel 5a. Mainly interested in the Xperia 5 iii. For me the 1 iii is overkill while the 5 iii has everything I want in a phone. NO holes or notches in the screen, the screen is FLAT, there is front facing stereo speakers, there is a headphone jack, and there's even a notification LED. Waiting for reviews though.

                                        It is a bit weird they have not mentioned OnePlus 8T or OnePlus 9 Pro at all... And they are much better than some of the phone we have seen right here.. Any comments on that?
