Picked up a Motorola Edge+ (2022) somewhat a month-ish ago after giving a Galaxy S23 a go for almost a month before. I just prefer Moto's experience more, even if updates are sparse and camera quality isn't as great.

Sure, it's notably bigger that what I've long-term used before (Xiaomi Mi 9 and the 2020 Motorola Edge), but the screen is pretty good and even though the Snapdragon 8 gen 1 is meh foe battery life, I'm not too intense on it and it charges pretty quick when I need a top-off.

The Galaxy S23 just wasn't my cup of tea. OneUI's launcher wasn't tunable the way I wanted, using a custom launcher to get my experience back broke gestures (as expected, but still), and it wasn't meaningfully smaller width-wise than the Mi 9, which I went back to for a while after I gave my fiancé my Moto Edge (2020).

It's also pretty damn hard to pass up a brand-new last-gen flagship for $500 plus manufacturer accidental protection 24 months and an extra year extended warranty.

I've been eyeing a Lenovo P11 Pro Gen 2 or whatever to replace my HP x2 Chromebook I got a couple years ago. Just don't need the productivity of ChromeOS anymore, a straightforward media consumption device that I can also use for pen note taking for TTRPGs is all I really need these days, and it looks like it'll fit the bill.

also because OneNote for Android isn't available for ChromeOS (at least it hasn't been afaik) and the app I've been using, Squid, is just kinda ok at the task.
