Pixel 6. Best phone I've owned. Takes great photos, is fast. Looks good. Very happy with it. Worst thing is I guess the fingerprint scanner, but honestly it's such a minor gripe.

Pixel Fold. I had a lot of concerns about durability with the scare stories the media has reported but everything about it is fantastic. Big fan of the giant viewfinder and using the rear cam for selfies. The reading experience unfolded feels like reading a paperback. Side-by-side apps unlock a whole new productive side.

Pixel 7 because its slim OS and good camera. Would love a stylus though. I've made peace with the lack of headphone jack.

Originally had Samsung since Galaxy S, then left at Note 4 because the bloat was bad. Then Sony Xperia X5 Premium, but the camera was bad. Now Pixel since Pixel 2XL.

For watches, had LG Watch R, then LG Style, Galaxy Watch 4, but ditched Android Wear for a Amazfit Bip S that lasts for days which allows me to track sleeping.

OnePlus Nord N200 with LineageOS 20 (Android 13) with no google apps package installed.

Samsung Galaxy S10E, better Form factor for my pants pockets and medium (not over the top) media equipment I wont use anyways.

Motorola Moto Edge (2021)

Pros: Moto's classically lite skin with sensible additions that can be turned off if you don't want them, great battery, great performance, really just a well rounded device.

Cons: I think I legally have to mention the update cadence, and lack of long-term support, but honestly it doesn't bother me. Android versions haven't mattered much past, what, Jelly Bean? Though longer security support would be nice. Also, the camera can be a little soft, but I don't take a ton of photos so I'm rather ambivalent on it.

Honestly, I paid a good price for an unlocked device that still holds up amazingly well. I'm very satisfied.

Device: Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 5G

Loves: The inner screen, the comfort of holding it folded-up one-handed, and having a tablet anytime, anywhere.

Dislikes: wish it was waterproof like later models, price is high, no aftermarket roms, built-in Samsung apps are blah

Nokia 7.2 it's pretty solid with Android One. I would move to a different OS but I need android for my work and banking.

I'm using a OnePlus 9 and a Galaxy Tab S7. My tablet is mainly for reading manga and watching series, I'm quite happy with it.

I like some things in my phone, like the camera and the screen, but the battery is kinda awful and since I moved to the US, I may need a new one. It's kinda weird since I had 5G when I arrived but since a maybe a month ago, I just have 4G on ATT. I'm thinking on maybe getting a Zenphone 10 or a S23, any thoughts on that? I'd like to keep using both sims I already use.

I'm still rocking a Mi 9T, and I'm going to keep using it as long as I can find new batteries to put into it. Or until notchless phones with headphone jacks come back.

Currently have a Note 20 Ultra. I like the size and refresh rate of the screen, and its microSD card slot. Not a fan of its processor and battery size.

I'd normally upgrade to the S24 Ultra, its natural successor, but instead I'm waiting for either the:

• Fold 6 (if it has a decent camera, the Fold 5 leaks are disappointing)
• Surface Duo 3 (same, decent camera)

I can't get a Pixel Fold as I need Miracast tech inside my phone, and I'm not a fan of the Fold 1-4 aspect ratio of the upcoming OnePlus Fold. If they switch to the Pixel Fold style of opening landscape, I'd take another look at their Fold 2

I'm currently using a pixel 6 pro. I took a long break from Androids. The last one that I owned was a S9 Plus.

I love the screen with the high refresh rate and it's really responsive. I also love the live translate feature and all of the neat AI tricks that it has as well. I also was very hesitant because I've heard a lot about the battery life being bad, but the battery on mine is really good, as well as the fingerprint reader.

The only thing that I dislike would be the grip of the phone. I played around with both the pixel 6 and the pro and I would have to say the regular pixel 6 has a better grip, but I love the higher refresh rate and display on the 6 pro.

Edit: Oh and of course, the camera is amazing!

I'm using a OnePlus 6

It's really fast and has a headphone jack, and you can get a second-hand one for really cheap (I got mine for ~170$). The preinstalled software sucks, but I've installed LineageOS on it and I'm really enjoying it

The only thing I don't like is that the battery is non-removable

Redmi K20 Pro (or Mi 9T Pro) been 3+ years. Basically using it for the Evo X and the pixel spoof. Will buy a new but compact phone soon. Not Apple!

Device

I'm on Pixel 6 running GrapheneOS,

Love

I control a lot of what the device is doing. I am a nerd, hence I want to use it, and because I use it, I am a nerd.

Hate

I spend a lot of time which I could've spent otherwise. Little feature that people show off let me feel like I've got an inferior device. I am talking about auto cropping a thing in an image on ios. At the same time ios can't play an oga file which is more important than apple's playground. It only happens once a year but seeing a friend airdropping something to a stranger feels like I'm missing out. I hate apple for being like shit. Compared to other androids ... no, I don't miss android auto. Pay could be there but not that neccessary. Being able to toggle wifi on or off is actually more important and seeing that even xiaomi etc. Still have the tiles but GrapheneOS doesn't feels like shit. Browsing the web with mull and vpn is slow compared to other devices with chromium browsers. Selfie camera is a banana. It takes long to start a video and long to stop one. It's difficult to post process on android due to the lack of apps and options.

Recommend it?

Tough call. It depends. Ideologically I'd say yes. For nerds, yes. For kids and young adults, yes if you are strong enough to resist the FOMO that people will give you.

LG Wing.

Love the dual screen functionality of course but what's more impressive is the fact that the 2nd screen is concealed beautifully such that on first glance, you can't even tell that it's not a normal phone! The primary camera is also excellent.

The software is pretty shit. LG sacked their mobile division 2 years ago and while they have kept their promise of giving this phone Android 13, they've done the bare minimum effort to support it. You couldn't even tell it's android 13, has the same UI and features that they shipped with Android 11. The settings app is also inconsistent, some screens have that stock android feel others have the traditional LG UI. And bugs are plenty. The processor is another weak point, it's not able to keep up in 2023.

I use two Samsungs: a Galaxy A52s 5G and a Galaxy A23. The features that I use the most is not baked in the OS itself but, KDE Connect. The thing I dislike about both of them is that they have insanely high idle battery drain

Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite running LineageOS 20 (Android 13) (official).

I feel absolutely blessed by the device maintainers that keep Lineage alive and current on this phone. It runs amazing considering its lower speced hardware.

I picked this phone because it has NFC, an IR blaster, notification LED and a 3.5mm jack!

Not sure how the flagships brands justify leaving those features out

My only complaint is the camera which is very average but I knew that before I purchased so I can't really complain.

Galaxy s21 (the smallest model)

I love that its not gigantic

I dislike the fingerprint reader. I prefer the one on the rear of the phone, like my previous phone had

redmi note 10s with lineage

it was cheap good performance going strong since 2 years stock android thanks to lineage

• Pixel 7 Pro
• The responsiveness vs. my previous phone (Pixel 3a).
• I miss having a headphone jack.

• Samsung galaxy M12
• Cheap and good for an entry-level phone
• Lack of custom rom support

Samsung Galaxy A51 5G. Had it for a few years and it works great, just wish it had more internal storage.

• Pixel 7 Pro
• Adaptive charging at night
• Somehow this phone's GPS loses accuracy to outside of 1 block every few days and needs to be "fine tuned" again in G maps

Samsung galaxy s21+ as my phone

I got it back at release when they let people stack discounts (paid like 40% the cost of the device). It's still fast enough for everything, a good size, I also got the care plus option with it so swapped to a brand new one earlier this year, want to get another 2 years out of it.

I also have a galaxy tab s6, but haven't ended up using it as much as I thought I would over the years.

Pixel 7a

Vanilla Androie experience, fast updates and I like the visor astetic

Would love faster wireless charging
