The only time I felt sad was when switching from my LG G8S in 2022.
Because that phone felt a bit like end of a era, a high end (when it came out) phone, with OLED, 3.5mm jack, MicroSD slot, physical fingerprint sensor (under display ones give me a ton of issues), cheap (500 euro was the launch price here in 2019, I got it for under 400 euro), and stuff in box like a charger, but even some decent (but unusable for me) earbuds, case and even a LG branded cleaning cloth.
And yes Sony is kinda the LG now… but also not, especially not price and trying to be different wise.
In the end I kept that LG and still use it for emulation and playing music at home, while every phone before it was sold without any feelings for it.
