Xperia 1V. Yes I paid flagship money for a Sony phone because of the headphone jack. No it doesn't overheat.
I imported an Xperia 10 IV about a month after launch. It's a brilliant form factor, but I'm very sad that it doesn't look like sailfish will ever arrive for it.
Nevertheless, I'm glad I bought it - and like you say, the headphone jack gets used frequently enough that you'd miss it if it wasn't there.
Where did you import your Xperia from? I got myself pretty sold on getting one but totally forgot that Sony don't sell phones in Aus anymore. Such a shame. I really want an sd card slot & headphone jack.
Oneplus 6T. The screen is starting to come loose, so I'm guessing it only has a few more months. I'll probably get Google Pixel.
Pixel is quirky but not too bad. the fingerprint sensor is the worst part :(
My 6T lasted five years, pretty good phone but the battery finally is giving up. Pixel 7 is an awesome replacement. The fingerprint sensor on the pixel has about the same error rate as the 6T for me.
Pixel 4a 5G with GrapheneOS. I really just use my phone for comms and snapping the occasional picture. I likely won't upgrade until Graphene no longer supports the 4a, and then I'll just buy whatever yesteryear Pixel model they do still support.
Nothing Phone 1. Pretty happy with it.
Using Pixel 6 with Graphene OS…with many many FOSS apps.
S20FE
OnePlus 7Pro. Tempted for foldable but actually seeing what Nothing Phone 2 will be like. Beginning to think #eSim is needed for my future device
Samsung or pixel fold? Which one is calling you? Everyone i know with the samsung fold loves it.
More held back by price than brands. Perhaps see what OnePlus, Oppo, and other manufacturers come up with to push the prices down.
Have A Surface Duo as a secondary work device now and like the landscape form factor
Also on a 7 pro here. It's peak smartphone. If it ever breaks I'm more likely to attempt a repair or get another second hand 7 pro than to "upgrade" to a newer device.

I've got a OnePlus 11 and it's pretty great so far!
Xiaomi Note 10 Pro. It was inexpensive and does everything I need it to do.
I've got a Z3 Galaxy Fold.
Funnily enough I think the way it's messing with the Jerboa app as it keeps logging me out when I switch from front to unfolded mode.
Shit... I was wondering why it seems to lose my login sometimes, you might have just answered why.

Fellow Pixel 6a user here (with Graphene OS)! My gripes are mainly the 'rainbow effect' of the screen and the fingerprint sensor that doesn't work 10% of the time.
Pixel 7a. I recently moved to this from a Fold3. If the pixel fold has any sort of dex-like functionality, the pixel fold 2 will probably be my next phone.
Curious, why did you decide to switch from Fold 3 to Pixel 7a?
The main motivator was that I found myself using the outside screen in the fold 90% of the time and it is not a good screen to use 90% of the time.
There were also some software issues with some apps. Google messages, for example, would crash if I tried using it on the open screen. While I recognize that's a error on the app development side, so few apps are being properly developed for foldables, it was a legitimate issue.
The final deciding factor was repair. I'm very lucky to have a Samsung store near y, but when I needed that exterior display replaced, 3 ubreakifix locations were unable to service the phone for various reasons.
I am on a Pixel 7 Pro with GrapheneOS. I am absolutely happy with that device. The battery lasts about 3 days for me. I like the work the GrapheneOS team is doing. All those privacy and security enhancements are great to have.
On Google Pixel sub, they often complain about battery. Is the three days because of Graphene OS?

S23+. It's a downgrade in most ways from my Note 8... I don't like it very much. Screen looks worse. Glass scratches super easily. Software is buggy. The camera is atrocious. 9/10 photos I take of my kids comes out blurry.
I'm pretty disappointed overall considering it's supposed to be Samsung's flagship. It'll probably be the last Samsung phone I buy and I've been very happy with their phones in the past.
Redmi Note 10. Have had it for two years without much issue, but have a bit of an itch to check out a Pixel 7a.
I'm using a HTC U11 life.
I had to change the front camera.
And battery is draining quite fast now.
Pixel 7 Pro.
Tried an S22 Ultra but couldn't get over the ads all over the OS, pre-installed bloatware, and the terrible camera shutter lag ):

Had Fold 3 since launch and it's been amazing!
Galaxy A32 4G (2021). Alright camera & specs, 3.5" audio jack, dedicated μSDXC port, DS/DS, FM radio. Decent price point. Dropped OneUI for NovaLauncher.
The most annoying thing about getting it was the fact the 5G version is a completely different phone- different dimensions & all. But shops didn't seem to realise this. They stocked exclusively the 4G phone (fine by me: it's specced better) but the 5G peripherals. So I had to go online to get case etc.
Grapheneos pixel 6a
Pixel 6 with just the stock software.
Honestly, I don't think I could never go "back" to a 3rd party Android device. The hardware might be great, but the clean software and fast software upgrades is was sold me back in the Pixel 3A days.

Recently got an s23, coming from pixel 5. There's good and bad. The hardware feels a lot more premium. Software side there's so much more customisation on the galaxy, but the pixel everything is so smart out of the box. I keep coming across little things that made life so easy on the pixel which are missing from Samsung.
Z4 Flip. I like the smaller footprint and since I don't take a lot of pictures I don't mind the downgrade in camera from my previous S22. And no, the fold don't bother me.
Lineageos motorola one 5g ace. However the charging port is being fickle so i will be replacing it in the next month or so with the oneplus nord n200. Were it not for the charging port i would keep the moto and be very happy. First phone i have ever had start to fail like that. I have backed up all my data onto my old pixel 3a xl just in case the moto just wont charge one day when i plug it in.
Redmi K30 Pro. Love the pop up camera and the full screen display with no stupid notch or hole punch. Have no plans to replace it any time soon since I just replaced the battery and everything else is still good as new.

OnePlus 8 IN2015
I've been rocking a Xiaomi Mi 9t Pro for the past few years. I've run a few different Android variants and have been really happy with Evolution at the moment. I honestly don't know what would make me upgrade. This phone still easily lasts a day and a half on one charge and has all the features I'd want (headphone jack).
Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1
LineageOS 20.
It's still too fine to replace, although it's the first phone of which I cracked the screen.
Chose it for the reasonableness of it at the time, was like 200€ new, with microSD, unlockable bootloader, had lineageOS support and still microUSB, as I still don't even have a hand full of usb-c devices.
Poco f2 pro Lineage OS 19.1
Galaxy Note 10+
OnePlus 10 Pro. Came from a Pixel 2 XL so it was a pretty big step up. Pretty happy with it.
Galaxy Z Fold 3. Loving the folding phone life, very interested in moving over to the pixel fold, probably not this year but maybe for the 2.
I use the Fold 4 and like it a lot. Being able to just open my phone to a mini tablet is fire.
Only downside is not every app works all that well with it so I'm hoping the Pixel fold sells well and encourages more support.
And sells well enough to get more versions. I was a Pixel user before this and the Samsung experience is kinda eh. Their app store keeps trying to push apps via push notifications that install if I so much as click on the notification and it's driving me crazy.
I think google are pushing tablet support more in general given that they've released a tablet as well. Can't quite remember but I think they're doing something like putting apps that don't have tablet forms into a cropped window like that 16:9 mode you can choose to encourage developers to support tablets better.
