I upgraded from the pixel 3 to the pixel 6, and the selfie camera wasn’t anywhere near as good. That’s when I discovered the pixel 3 front camera was autofocus! The rear cameras were crazy good though.
In the end I returned it because I couldn’t handle how frustrating the in screen fingerprint sensor was on the regular pixel 6, and bought an iPhone 13 Pro instead. FaceID is magic, but I wouldn’t rule out going back to a pixel again in the future!

Oh man the pixel 3 was so good! Autofocus front camera was unrivalled.

It depends if we’re just approaching this from a “physically functioning” standpoint, or from a “software/support” standpoint as well.
Personally, as soon as a phone no longer supports security updates, I get a new one. Pixels offer 5 years of security patches now, and I believe the latest Samsungs are doing the same. iPhones are well known to offer 5+ years too.
So personally I’d go with one of the latest Google, Samsung or Apple phones.
I know a lot of people don’t seem to care about how long their phone gets security updates for, so if you don’t either then just ignore everything I said :)

Obviously depends on your terrain, and goretex or no goretex is something everyone has an opinion on.
I’m a big fan of Salomons personally. My X Ultra Mid GTXs have served me so well.
If the terrain isn’t too bad you could also be well served by some trail running shoes instead if you wanted.
