I wouldn't buy anything other than Xiaomi for now. I've owned; HTC (HTC Sensation, HTC One M8 and HTC U20) OnePlus (OnePlus 4, OnePlus 7) Apple (iPhone 3G, iPhone 4) Samsung (Galaxy 5) Blackberry (Passport and Priv).
All of my phones were great at the time, but also they're getting more and more expensive every year, the technology has unreservedly stagnated, and only Xiaomi offers a decent price with great specs. That's why I bought the Poco X4 GT and I haven't regretted it at all. At only $300 I get the same performance from a $1,200 phone, the same design and looks, and if the price to pay is give my info to some the PRC, then so be it, as long as I get phones for $300 with 67w, this chipset, this camera and design, I will always go for that.
