From what I've read, samsung cameras are pretty decent too.
The unreliability thing is a bit of a red line for me, I've always had phones which were borderline indestructible from Blackberry to OnePlus to the earlier Pixels.
I get you can be unlucky but there does seem to be a trend for lower reliability from the 7 onwards.
Maybe the 9 will change that but we will have to wait a while to see, and a longer while until they fall into my price range.
