Anker’s Soundcore are making some hard hitting budget wireless buds. I recently lost my buds 2pro case so I picked up a the soundcore a40 on prime day. I was pleasantly surprised that the a40’s ANC is better, the fit was more comfortable and battery life last quite a bit longer. My friend also said my mic was much clearer since it cancels out the background noise so much better than the buds2pro.

The Pixel 7 is literally one of the worst phone I’ve ever used. Very much like you said: HORRIBLE battery life AND front camera. Volcanic hot SOC and non-working biometric and buggy software made the battery even worse than it already was out of box.

I also purchased the S23U like you because it was so off-putting using that shitty Pixel - and it’s an infinitely better phone, in every aspects.
