It's the best in terms of security and compatibility. It's especially necessary if you want to 'de-google' later and install something like GrapheneOS.

Fantastic camera features as well.

Finally a great daily driver phone for some of the AI features like call screening where it answers calls from unknown numbers in the background, asks them what their calling about and determines if they are spam before ringing your side. Or if you're on hold it can basically wait for you and then ring the phone when customer service gets back on the line.
