OnePlus 11. Previous phone was the OnePlus 6 which I loved a tonne, but it eventually became a bit too slow for me. I almost picked a Pixel phone as I don't agree with OnePlus moving away from the stock android look in favour of Oxygen OS and the overall cost of their latest flagships, but it was good to see a shift back in the right direction with the OP11. Love this phone even if it isn't completely the same as stock.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ because refurbished it's affordable, has 256GB standard storage and a micro SD slot. Oh and 12GB of RAM. I also have a Tab s7+ and buds 2 and like how they work together. I'm not opposed to iOS, in fact I use a MacBook pro daily, but if those stingy fucks won't start offering decent storage on base model phones, I'm not interested.
I have a Poco x3 NFC because it's cheap for the hardware it delivers and I have no money to buy a Pixel Phone ..it runs Lineage OS with microg to degoogle it
I've got an oppo reno8. Before I got this phone I promised myself I'd do a bunch of research to find a phone that was better than what I had, and that I could root.
In the end life got in the way and I just got a higher number phone (went from oppo reno 4 to 8) because I knew the phone was OK. Kinda regret it now
Galaxy S23+ here, had the S10 and S7 before that. Great cameras (it matters to me) and very durable phones once you put them in a good case. The S23+ is easier on my old eyes and I easily get 3+ days battery life out of it. Samsung has also done a nice job slimming down the UI but I use the Nova launcher anyway.
Recently got a refurbished S20 ultra for the 5g.
This thing is great. 12 gb of ram, 128 gb internal storage, microsd slot up to 1tb, 108 MP camera...
I worked in a refurbishing warehouse of Cisco products, so I know they're good to go, so I always buy refurbished electronics when I can. Got the phone for $350, learned later that it retailed for like $1200 or something when it was released.
This thing is tits.
Stock Android, Galaxy S21.
I wanted a smaller footprint phone with wireless charging, if not for the last part I'd go for Asus Zenfone 8.
I'm planning to switch to Zenfone 10 when it comes out this summer.
Poco X3 pro with stock because it is a lot of phone for the money.
Bought it to install Lineageos, then never got round to it.
nokia G50. default. invincible. dropped it 100 times, even once in the toilet and it still runs perfect.
iOS, iPhone X currently. Still works fine so haven't felt much pressure to upgrade. Battery still great, performance is good. I don't use my phone for pictures so haven't needed a better camera.
I have considered changing brands when I next upgrade, I would sorta like to get a Huawei phone. I am just so used to iOS at this point, I am worried about the learning curve. I struggle to use other phone OS the same way I struggle to use non-Nikon cameras, my brain just refuses to work right. Throw me down in front of a new desktop OS and I will usually grasp it instantly. It's weird.
s8+ cuz i loved the curves, /e/OS cuz that was the only one fully functional with my model
Moto g32. Wanted something as stock rom as possible, with headphone jack, reasonable camera, somewhat decent battery life and horsepower under the hood at a decent price (less than $200).
I'm looking for XDA guys to develop a lineageOS rom for this phone, and it will be my "I'm at home" of phone.
Pixel4a running CalyxOS
Google Pixel 7 Pro with Google's Android. I've always used Nexus and Pixel phones because on my daily driver I want the stock Android experience with no vendor skins or bloatware, as well as regular system updates and security patches.
Xiaomi Mi10 Lite with stock firmware. Xiaomi QIN22F as a second phone. I've tried some third-party Android variations, but none of them, including LineageOS, I liked to use. Or rather I liked LineageOS when it was still CyanogwenMod, and then, as usual, everything went wrong.
Galaxy S23, because I use Android for 13 years now (no Apple devices for me) and it is one of the few smaller devices. Also great battery life, performance (finally Snapdragon in Europe) and very long update support.
Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ 5G, I've been a fan of the Note series for a while when I was at university, and 5G was shiny and new so I went and got that. Android is/was my bread and butter there, I like the flexibility the Play Store has compared to the iOS App Store (i.e. I can have RetroArch)
I don't really use the Note features as much now and 5G is a bit useless for me right now, and I have a Steam Deck so emulation isn't really a thing I do on my phone. I might go iPhone in the future for that reason.
I got an S20FE because the screen on my s8+ was smashed to hell. I like the size, flat screen, it was relatively cheap at the time ~$500, it has expandable storage, a high end chipset, and 120hz screen. Overall, I love this phone, have no regrets buying it. Hoping I can hold onto it for a few more years haha
S tier phone, my only complaint is that the bootloader is locked down and downward facing speaker. Next phone I buy will be able to be de-googled.
The battery life is head and shoulders above 99% of the market, oled is a killer feature, so is 120 hz.
Nokia G20, Android One.
- Nokia is a cheap mid range phone
- Android One is distributed by Google rather than the handset manufacturer. I'm not stuck with a manufacturers reluctance to offer updates for last year's model as a driver for more sales of this year's model.
- Android One is free of manufacturer bloatware.
Nothing Phone 1. Using it because looks amazing
I've got this Huawei P20 lite since 2018 and it's the best phone I've owned. Still rock solid. Unfortunately it's android 9 and OS updates stopped being rolled out in 2022.
If I could I would buy a Huawei again, but it's kind of out of market here. I'm evaluating something from the same manufacturing chain (Honor phones I believe?)
Fairphone 4 because I like the idea of a repairable, sustainable phone. Microg LineageOS because want to avoid google as much as I can (within reason).
Poco F2 Pro (lmi) with the custom ROM Paranoid Android CAF based A13.
I liked MIUI, but nothing beats the Pixel like experience!
Samsung s10+ and I bought it so I could flash lineageOS on it. I only exclusively buy phones that can handle Lineage now. I'll rock this one until it dies or the battery gets too degraded and then buy another lineage comparable phone and continue the cycle. Each phone usually lasts around 4-5 years.
