What do you mean by a good curveball one?

What's your budget look like? Are you buying outright or do you have a plan?

Curveball? What exactly do you want here? Something good and surprising? If so get the european Fairphone 5, android's own answer to iPhone in term of longetivity/updates.

https://shop.fairphone.com/fairphone-5
- 5 years warranty
- 5 years of stock Android OS upgrades
- security updates until 2031... holy batman!
- built to last, modular design, self repairable
- 10/10 iFixit score

Here's a teardown of Fairphone 4

This relatively unknown android phone easily matchs iPhone's vaunted OS updates and then some.

Pixel 8 series comes out soon. Dig my 6a though the 7a seems weak.

Yeah, unfortunately no. The phone just came out last week maybe they need some more time to find a partner?

They do sell Fairphone 4. A bit underpowered but you'll get a modular and self repairable phone powered by privacy concious /e/OS for your money.

Alternatively how about Asus Zenfone 8 flip from amazon? It has SD888, Android13 and a dedicated microSD slot(!!) And it uses a motorized rear camera to take selfie leaving your front screen completely unobstructed. No notch, no punch hole, no nothing. Not even iPhone can top that.
