I ended up buying a Pixel 7 to replace my aging Razer Phone 2 which was already on its last legs (cracked back, super quiet speakers, and poor camera). I've had a chance to use the Pixel 7 for a couple of days already and I'm really liking it! The camera is amazing, the size is good. I don't particularly like the location of the volume up/down keys on the Pixel 7 (too close to the power button), maybe I'm just need a few more days to adjust. Many years of motor memory to undo!
One of the biggest reasons for getting the Pixel 7 was because of the eSim support. I hate that Rogers charges $12 per day for roam like home, even if you end up not making any calls or texting or using much data. My plan is to get an eSim when travelling and avoid these charges.
