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

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

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 chose Pixel, after few months running stock android builds on xioami phones. And I like it, its not overbloated, and if you want you can run grapheneos there.

Nothing Phone 1. Using it because looks amazing

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.

s8+ cuz i loved the curves, /e/OS cuz that was the only one fully functional with my model

iPhone 12, wanted something that would be supported for a long time and with prompt security updates. Also have an iPad and Apple Watch so the integration is nice. On the desktop though I run Kubuntu which would integrate better with Android.

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.

Nice!

I run a oneplus one, with lineageOS 18 and magisk. I am able to do banking, UPI(a quick form of banking in my country), document management(digilocker, for official govt issued documents), social media, etc.

It's slow sometimes but if you can ensure it doesn't heat up, it's a really good setup.

It's a hand-me-down, one of the best handmedowns anyone could want

Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 5G, I've been using Xiaomi for 6 years now, I always had really bad phones until i bought a Redmi 6A, Really good phone and I've used this brand since

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.

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.

nokia G50. default. invincible. dropped it 100 times, even once in the toilet and it still runs perfect.

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.

Nokia G20, Android One.

1. Nokia is a cheap mid range phone
2. 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.
3. Android One is free of manufacturer bloatware.

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?)

using galaxy note 20. I upgraded to this from a note 9. once I started using the stylus I can't go back now. also can't really upgrade to anything because nothing takes an SD card anymore. maybe there will be a leap in phone case technology that incorporates SD readers in the case and I can feel comfortable getting a new phone in a year or two.

Redmi Note 10 Pro with custom ROM (right now A13 based SparkOS, but I switch them from time to time). I have gms installed, but there's always an option to use vanilla version.

I'm looking to switch to LibreMobile OS (https://libremobileos.com/) for my second device, which is currently running Crdroid (also A13)

I bought a Samsung something-something because it was 200€ and it fits in my pocket.

iPhone SE 2020 here. The main reason I like Apple is because the designs and sizes suit me better. I find that Samsung phones tend to be too big and focus on camera, rather than battery time (which I personally prioritise). I haven’t checked out other alternatives such as OnePlus, Pixel, Motorola since my parents only purchase either iPhone or Samsung. I think if Apple wasn’t so restrictive (their ecosystem), I would like them better (+their prices going down). It’s difficult finding compact phones that focus on battery time nowadays, as someone who doesn’t care for the camera… I truly wonder what new phone I will get in a few years.
