I did it. After years of exclusively buying and using flagship phones, I finally made the switch to a mid-ranger. And you know what? I don’t regret it. Not even a little.
For the last decade, I’ve used high-end phones from brands like OnePlus and Google. After recently breaking my phone and shopping for a new one, I skipped the new Pixel 10 series I had my eye on and bought the Pixel 9a. This decision made me realize that today’s mid-range phones are not just good enough — they’re often the smarter choice.
