Oneplus 6T with Ubuntu Touch/LineageOS Dualboot

Samsung Galaxy A52 5G, no custom rom so I'm on One UI, Nova Launcher.

My last phone's charging port had gotten loose, and didn't consistently charge unless held at a specific angle, and at the time the A52 seemed to hit a sweet spot of power vs price. It also still has a microsd card slot and a headphone jack, which were must haves for me.

Historically: My first "Smart Device" was an iTouch around a year after they first came out. I was already into "jailbreaking" things from my Wii and PSP, my main media player was an iPod nano with rockbox on it, and in college I bought a cheap router then installed DD-wrt on it so it performed above its price range. I was all about controlling and tweaking my stuff. Then I got a hand me down Android when my dad upgraded his phone and haven't looked back.

Still haven't rooted any Androids yet. Not too much I've wanted to do that required it. The few times I have wanted to root, the method has always been too cumbersome to follow up on.

Fold4.

My S9 died a month ago and I really couldn't find another phone that I was excited about. Nothing really had any "cool" factors about them. Many of them felt almost like downgrades compared to my S9. Lack of headphones jack, SD card reader etc...

The Fold4 was above my price range but i found one on eBay for $750 so i grabbed it.

So far I am liking it. It is bigger then I would have liked but the foldings screen is super nice you can have apps side by side. Great for multitasking. I also do a lot of remote access to my desktop and a large screen is perfect for that.

Still rocking my Oneplus 7Pro but thinking I might want to upgrade to the new Google Pixel 8 when it comes out. I like stock Android and Google phones have been pretty nice from what I've seen and from the little amount of time I've used and played with them in stores. I like the ability to install a privacy focused rom like GrapheneOS too. But the only thing now holding me back from deciding on the Pixel 8 is the temperature reader like that's something I know I won't be using and I don't want to be paying for that when I know I won't be using that feature.

iPhone 11, bought three years ago. I chose it mainly because of its good battery life, since the only feature I really care about my phone

Samsung Galaxy S22. Wanted it to be an upgrade from my dying OnePlus 6, but smaller. Not much choice for small, but beefy phone.

pixel 6 pro in order to use graphene os

Samsung zfold 4, because I fell in love with the fold the moment I saw it. I'm a bit sad that my favourite launcher doesn't know what to do with the fold, but even with the crappy Samsung launcher, it's still an amazing phone.

I've got the OnePlus Nord 2 Pac-Man Edition running OxygenOS (Android) and I plan to use it as long as possible before switching to Fairphone eventually

iPhone 13 mini. I’m so sad they discontinued the mini, it’s the perfect phone for me so I’m holding onto it until it dies which seems to be coming soon :(

Motorola Moto G8 Power Lite. It was €130, good battery, no bloatware, does all the things I need from a smartphone even if the touchscreen is starting to freak out from time to time. Probably need to change the display but I'm broke atm

iPhone 13 Pro Max. Switched over from android (Galaxy S6) when the iPhone X came out, used that for 4 years, decided I liked it better than android due to iMessage, upgraded when it was time. I mostly use my phone for texting and browsing Reddit (RIP Apollo)

OnePlus 11 Pro, highly customised UI, rooted, and propped up security.

Will never touch an iPhone with their clumsy unintuitive OS, nor an Android where I can't get root access to remove all the unnecessary clutter and harden the OS.

iPhone 14 Pro Max. I know, I know, but the battery life can’t be beat. Great speaker, screen and camera too. Used to have a Huawei P30 Pro that was awesome though

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.

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.

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 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.

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

Samsung galaxy s9. Secure Folder let's me put my ms exchange work email on without my employer being able to remote wipe my phone

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

Pixel 6a, it's functional, effective, decent quality, budget, etc. That's it really.

Nothing Phone 1. Using it because looks amazing

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

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.

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.

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

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.
