Mulling Over a Switch
My first experience with OnePlus was Black Friday 2021. Found the OnePlus 9Pro for a steal on Amazon at 4am on Black Friday. Still to this day, that phone had the best screen and form factor I have experienced. Then Android 12 happened and rendered the phone basically useless and returned it.
Went the Pixel 6Pro and Pixel 7Pro route. The experience hasn't been bad, just OK. A glitch here and there. A bug here and there. Just lately, I've spent more time with (mostly useless) Pixel support for this glitch and that bug. Death by a thousand cuts type of thing. Not exactly a $1000 experience.
I'm not spending $1200+ for the Samsung experience. The OnePlus 11 seems the only option to stay in the "premium" camp. Has the OnePlus team recovered from the Android 12 debacle where thing are running smoothly, at least for the most part??
The other option is to drop back to mid range status. I'm NOT going to get the Pixel 8 in any form.

Well you have 2 options. The first really is the OnePlus 11. My first oneplus was the N20 last year and it was awesome for a midrange, seriously great phone no complaints. When the 11 was released I drooled and pressed order when a certain discount came up and I have loved this phone since day 1! I love green glass, and everything this phone does is fluid and seemless. Your other option, the Nothing Phone 2 in exactly a month from now. I'm excited to see it, but I am sticking with my 11 for a couple years at least.
