I have a unihertz Atom XL.

Pros:

- Battery lasts for 3 days with my usage (browsing when not at my desk, whatsapp, a handful of calls, android auto)

- Rugged / waterproof (IP68)

- Fits nicely in your hand

- 48 MP camera - not as good as Pixels, but good

- Good dual SIM setup

Cons:

- Thick; probably mostly due to the battery. Doesn't bother me, but if you wear skinny jeans and carry your phone in your front pocket it'll be noticeable

- Just got Android 11

- The built in walkie talkie is something of a gimmick since it chews up battery in standby/monitor mode. I thought it would be a useful backup since we live in the sticks w/o reliable phone signal. Get the Atom L instead

I had the Atom until AT&T said it wasn't compatible with their 5G forced switch over. Now I have the cheapest android they offer until I can find something else.

I had an original Jelly but battery life was miserable.

You could also switch to T-mobile or Verizon. Though you probably already thought of that.

Yeah, in my area T-Mobile isn't. And Verizon is amazing but triple what I'm paying now.

Don't know if you checked recently but Verizon was always way more expensive here as well but about a year or so ago we noticed they had started offering must more competitive pricing for families/individuals.

>>ourman+9H
Check MVNOs out, if you want Verizon service without Verizon pricing. US Mobile and Red Pocket are two that I'd suggest.

I used to have Verizon so I get emails and flyers touting plans starting at $90/month (but only for the first year).

Except I'm on AT&T pay-as-you-go for $30/month so I don't even look anymore.
