For me it's Motorola G72. It's excellent for the price. The phone is super lightweight despite having a 5,000 milliamper battery. The UI is very snappy and animations are very smooth (high refresh rate). It supports double tap on the back plus all other neat Motorola gestures. The under display fingerprint scanner works extremely well.

Because Mororola is owned by Lenovo now, and lots of people dislike Lenovo. Their questionable ethics aside, Motorola phones have now become very average, a shadow of what the phones used to be like back in their heyday. Remember the revolutionary Moto X? With the custom voice processor and voice actions that didn't drain battery, that satisfying dimple at the back, the soft-touch customisable body, the form factor which was neither too big nor too small, the OS - it was all perfect. But ever since Lenovo took over, the phones have become very unremarkable.

As for update speed - sure, not everyone cares, but r/c Android does, because most of us are techies and we care about this stuff. Trying to claim that updates aren't important in these circles will only get pitchforks aimed at you.
