I would remove the iphone 15 and replace it with the OnePlus Open. I think the 15 Pro Max is great (i own one) so is the S23 Ultra (i also owned one). Cant speak for the Pixel 8, i havent tried that one, not a big fan of Google phones ever since their crap Pixel 6 Pro.

The best mid-range phone you can buy and forget about the flagship phones is the Oppo Reno 10 Pro Plus. With its zoom capabilities, not even the S23 Ultra can do better
