I'm thinking it's time to upgrade my cell phone. I currently use a OnePlus 5t, but it's becoming a bit unreliable (generically). Used as a phone key on my 2019 Model 3, it usually works well (maybe 80% of the time), but sometimes (maybe 15% of the time), there's a delay of a few (5-10) seconds before the door unlocks, and occasionally (about 5% of the time), I have to take the phone out, unlock it, and sometimes even open the Tesla app before the car responds. (These problems aren't new; they've existed since I bought the car.) I realize these sorts of problems are common, but they vary from one phone model to another, so....
What are peoples' experiences with the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra and the Google Pixel 6 Pro with Teslas, and especially with the phone-as-key functionality? I'd hate to spend hundreds of bucks on a new phone only to discover that it works worse than my current phone! I've seen comments in other threads about how the Pixel 6 Pro barely fits some third-party wireless charging pads, so I know to research that detail, should I buy one. (My Model 3 is old enough that it doesn't come with wireless charging, and I haven't cared about that because my OnePlus 5t doesn't support that feature.) The Samsung is about 0.6 mm shorter than the Google, so I'm guessing it'll be a bit easier to fit on this score.
Also, are there any other known "gotchas" with either phone and Tesla connectivity? There was a brief period in 2019 when I had Bluetooth audio playback issues with my OnePlus, which Tesla eventually fixed with a software update, so I'd prefer to avoid any similar issues with a new phone.
