Thats not a concern i just wanna know which ones better for long term usage

Have you tried thinking about it literally any more than the OS?

 

Budget?

What will you do on it?

Desired screen size?

How much storage will you need?

Do you want 5g?

do you care about how good the camera is?

How long do you want the battery to last on a single charge?

I can vouch for OnePlus. Good cameras, nice screens, fast storage, always using the latest and greatest SoC.

If you want about the same, but overspend for a slightly better camera, get the latest Samsung S-series.

 

As for OS:
If you want to have the freedom to use your Phone how YOU want to use it, get Android. 
Otherwise, get Apple if you want a locked-down experience.

I personally use a OnePlus 7 Pro, but you probably can't get those anymore retail.

 

Therefore, get the latest model, which is the OnePlus 10 Pro 5G. The release date is in a few days (March 24th).

Define "programming." Do you intend to program on the phone, or use it to test apps you've programmed on your computer? Or do you mean watching video programming?

 

For long-term use, if you're not writing code on your phone... get an iPhone. Apple offers five to six years of OS updates, performance these days holds up over the life of the phone, and you won't have to guess when your model/region/carrier will get the update (Apple gives every device the update at the same time).

 

If you do get an iPhone, the regular iPhone 13 is the sweet spot for most people; you only really want the Pro if you crave that telephoto lens or the 120Hz screen. You'll still get great camera quality (particularly for video), long battery life, strong gaming performance and, of course, 5G. 

 

On the Android side, camera quality means you'll probably be looking at either a Samsung Galaxy S22 series phone (S21 if money is tight) or the Google Pixel 6/6 Pro if it's available in your country. OnePlus has been getting better about camera quality, but it still has a reputation for overselling its photography.

Smartphone companies losing their shit right now knowing that at least 1 person took the bait.

 

If I was me, which I am thankfully. I'd buy a Samsung s22 non-ultra because huge phones break easier and that's a fact. And they're awkward to hold, awkward the carry and awkward to watch por- awkward to look at...  

 

Pretty much every camera looks good these days & it comes down to preference, if you actually want a better than most smartphones camera then buy and actual camera camera

 

I would also be tempted by Apple, at the end of the day it's hard to beat how integrated it is with the rest of their devices.

Long term usage would definatly be  apple for os support otherwise if you don't care about having older os you can have an android but right now, I would recommend you to hold on to your current phone as there are not many good options as of now, that being said what phone do you have right now?

Just because they are not "flagship killers" anymore and instead make flagships themselves, doesn't mean they are not recommendable.

 

I'd get a flagship OnePlus any day over a flagship Samsung, Huawei or iPhone.

Price/Performance of a OnePlus is still unbeatable. I bought my 7 Pro for 750€ when it came out. Samsung's comparable offerings were about 1000 €. A Samsung is not 250 € better than a OnePlus (especially since OnePlus also uses some of the best parts that Samsung provides).

 

My 7 Pro still runs like brand new (no noticable battery degradation after nearly 3 years now) and still looks like new. No scratches on the phone itself, except one scratch on the screen protector and believe me, it has dropped from many different heights onto many different surfaces. No cracks, no scratches, everything works like on day 1. Had I bought an Apple, I'd probably have at least 5 screen replacements by now.

The case that came with it has some distinct yellowing on it, but the phone itself is in mint condition. Replace the screen protector (or take it off) and clean a bit with alcohol and you'd never know it's a 3 year old phone.

I agree with you with them not being bad but ever since the oppo bought them entirely it just the quality of their products are going very down and even I have an old oneplus. and the oneplus 10pro also has some serious structure issues. They were also capping performance for better battery life idk if its fixed now or not but for me oneplus is dead yeah. my brother has an 8 pro and its really bad compared to their older models the last good oneplus lineup for me is the 7
