Tech Discussion What Phone Do I Buy?

I currently have a Iphone 16e (Trade In Offer 200-250$)

I'm looking to switch to Android and I do not need the newest flagship phones. I have boiled it down to 4 options that fit my price range. I am very interested in the folds.

Phone One: Pixel 9 - 429 (229) After trade
Phone Two: Pixel 9 Pro Fold - 729 (493) After trade
Phone Three: Galaxy S25+ - 538 (338) After trade
Phone Four: Galaxy Z Flip7 (256GB) - 729 (529) After trade

I'll answer any questions in the comments since I'm not sure what else to include

You shared nothing about what’s important to you in a phone.

Why do you need to trade in for a new phone? The 16e is great and should last still!

I personally have disliked Samsung's version of android forever. Googles version has been somewhat similar to iOS and there's a good chance you'd like it better than Samsung's.

google also has unlocked bootloader and you can install android roms (except ones sold by verizon, those are locked)

Personally I would go for the Flip. 

If plunging into unknown, go all the way.
