I personally really like the Pixel line, they're really good phones without a lot of bloatware. The problem with them is the fact that they aren't consistent within a generation, much less between generations. This means that the cases for every single variety of Pixel phone are different. It's maddening.
I generally support phones for my household and I'd really like to move them all to Android, just for consistency because it's what I use, but I question how my dad will manage when his iPhone SE 2022 plays out. He can barely work it and changing in any way is not going to go well. The fingerprint home button is nice for someone like him, and the switch to silence the thing means he can actually figure out how to silence the phone when I explain it every single time he needs to do it.
As for Samsung, I have never owned one of their phones. I've had Samsung tablets that cost as much as an iPad, however, and they were universally awful. Support that ends far sooner than it should, and performance somewhere between a snail and a brick. This annoyed me so greatly that I haven't bought a Samsung product since. The same sort of experience led me to stop purchasing HP printers fwiw.
