Alternate Android Phone Brand to consider from Samsung.

Hi, I'm a Samsung User for most of my life. I'm currently using a S22 Ultra, and looking to change my phone. However, with the rise in issues with Samsung devices (Software, Hardware, Overly Price device; e.g. S25 Ultra 512Gb $2k, S24 Ultra 512Gb $1.6k), I'm looking to alternate brands to try out.

​

E.g.

Oppo Find X8 Pro 512Gb $1.5k

Google Pixel 9 Pro XL 512Gb $1.9k

Honor Magic 7 Pro 512Gb $1.3k

Xiaomi 14 Ultra 512Gb $1.7k

​

I'm looking for a phone that can take excellment video and picture during concert events. I'm looking for reviews, opinions and suggestions as to which brands I should try out.
