I had an Essential Ph-1 as well, liked it, great for using as a desktop with excellent USB-C DisplayPort and KB/Mouse support, but it had many issues. We'll see what happens with the Nothing Phone.
I'm on a cheap ($399 list, I bought it for $270 US Retail in 2021 Spring) Moto One 5G Ace (SD 750G, 6GiB RAM, 128GB Storage + MicroSD, NFC and other features) right now ... which finally got Android 11 only 15 months too late (originally released 2021 January with old Android 10). Allegedly Android 12 is coming within 3 months, and Verizon's version already has it (I buy US Retail unlocked), but I'm not hopeful. But I didn't even pay $270 for it, unliked, US Retail.
