Can't decide between

Used s10 (something) due to headphone port
S20fe
Pixel 5

Leaning towards one of the Samsungs
Maybe an old s10 5g.

Pixel 5 if camera is the only concern.
If you are OS agnostic wait to see what the cheaper iphone 12 offers.

Any reason why?

I've found some specs. And on paper the s20 fe is better across the board

I know specs affect everything with photography.

Also. The rest of the specs seem basically no different. Both ip68, both lack headphone jack

Between the Pixel 5 and the S20 FE, I'd buy the latter for various reasons that aren't all to do with camera. You mentioned in the thread title that you wanted a better camera and when the reviews for the Pixel 5 come in, watch out for them unanimously ejaculating in breathless excitement at the camera and what Google has 'pulled off' because of its 'software smarts'.

Not waterproof that one

Pixel 4a(5G) has some sort of waterproofing if I recall

Pixel phone if camera is really important for you

I think I'll have to wait for pics to come from the fe and pixel 5.

Hard to ignore the 3x optical on Samsung. But a lot are saying pixel

Pixel is mostly due to Google's post processing, it's a lot better than everyone else, even with the "inferior" hardware it still ends up with better pictures thanks to it. This is why you get a lot of people porting GCam to other phones as it can vastly improve photo quality.

Thanks for that. This Make a lot of sense. You can make. Par photo look pretty damn good with the right editing skills.

Ill wait until this is out if pics are amazing. Then might be a winner.

Apart from optical camera specs are close enough that editing is more important
