I used to buy exclusively Motorola phones. Then they stopped updating my phone I bought less than a year prior. Never again. I ended up buying a Pixel 8 because it was cheaper to spend $600 on a phone that gets updates for 7 years than to pay $200-300 on phones that stop being updated after a year or two.
Phones aren't really toys anymore. I use mine for work and personal accounting on top of navigation, point of sale payments, paying for parking, communication, podcasts, weather, and audiobooks.

YMMV. A toy is still a toy.
