I was in the same boat about a month ago. Pixels battery life wasn't as good and the processor heating made me not consider it.

My previous phone was a Redmi which I had updated to android 13 with custom roms so I ended up getting a poco f5. I have to say that this is probably good enough for me. It doesn't have NFC but that's about the only complaint from me. Battery life is solid and the cameras, even though not excellent, are decent and get the job done.

I still haven't moved to a custom rom yet as I wanted to give the official rom a try but there are a few roms already available which I'll try later.

Definitely worth the money spent.

This is very cool!

What's your current phone and which custom rom are you using? I'm in the market for a new phone but I'm not sure which will have good custom rom support.

I have the same worry but, reading the above comment, I feel slightly better.

I'm in the same boat. I know I'll survive with 50% of my current pay if i have a less stressful job but then all IT jobs are stressful, some just pay way worse for the same type of work. Finding a job which won't turn stressful after a while is really hard.
