I've been really impressed by the Pixel 7 Pro thus far. one of the best, if not the best camera, with a lot of interesting features. Call screening for those spam calls, the recorder that can take precise notes and a really affordable price for a flagship phone.
The S22 Ultra is my number two. New design, 100x zoom, One UI 4 is gold, solid showing from Samsung.
On 3 the iPhone 14 Pro Max. Dynamic island is a nice idea on the iPhone side but I agree with Flossy's review it should interact with way more apps. Solid update with iOs 16 finally allowing people to add a personal touch on their phone without difficulty.
