Ask Lemmy

Pixel 8 sounds like what you're looking for.

Blackberry Key2 because nothing beats a hardware keyboard. Tried it but cant life without one.

I really like the looks of those TCL NXTpaper phones. They use a matte color eink display that looks amazing.

I have an iPhone 11 Pro. It’s a few years old now, but still gets updates and is still quick enough. However, the battery is fading pretty quick and Apple has made replacement inconvenient at best. I’m going to order a DIY battery kit that will hopefully take care of that, otherwise it’s gonna be replacement time.

Pixel

rn using a Samsung Galaxy A32, planning to switch to a pixel 7a eventually

Just bought a Galaxy s20+ ultra refurbished a couple of months ago. Only cost like 300 and had comparable specs to the current $1500 phones.

Wife has to have apple and I couldn't bring myself to buy her refurbished for her birthday... bit the bullet and got an iPhone that was 1 or 2 generations old, still cost like 800-900.

Google Pixel 6a

iPhone 13 Pro. Will probably keep it until the 16 Pro later this year maybe, or I might go another year. Nothing wrong with it so far, I mostly just want a type-C connector for convenience at this point

6s (2015) here. I know that perfect phone doesn’t exist and mine is getting older with every minute now, battery is a joke even after one replacement few years ago..

..yet for all those years I have trouble finding any replacement, and I am open for any direction that will just feel fine (at least), somehow nothing does.

Pixel 8 Pro. I'm satisfied of it. The first thing I did was unlocking and the second rooting.

iPhone 13, currently.

My only Apple product besides the AirPods.

Whatever work pays for

I usually use a cheap Chinese phone around 100 bucks and swap it every 1-2 years.

Regular Galaxy S22 256Gb

Was choosing between S22, Pixels, and Nothing Phone. Ultimately, I went with the former because I happened to accumulate Tab S8 as well as Galaxy Buds 2. If not for those, probably would've saved a buck with first Nothing.

Pros: Easy cloud sync, good processor, nice materials, could be found for a very affordable price, and rest of the features that come with premium phones

Cons: No headphone jack, no SD card slot, some bloat you can't remove, battery

Would've probably still rocked my Poco F1 if it didn't get obliterated by a 0.5m drop onto a quartz floor. It never fully recovered from it.

a Pixel 3 they're basically the Google equivalent to the iPhone I did some work merging code for my Fire tablet's Android kernel, and when I saw how much development Google put into Android, I figured Pixels would probably have the best drivers thing is kinda old, but it works great for my purposes no SD card slot though ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ but it came bundled with a few USB adapters, a wireless charger, and some headphones.

Loving my zenfone 9, has some issues due to the supported network bands but its usable with some tinkering (USA).

My Pixel 6 Pro got smashed up in a bike crash, so I recently replaced it with a Pixel 7a.

I don't know if anyone's run desktop Linux on them, but I'd guess if there's any phone where that's been done, it'd be a Pixel. They make it easy to run other Android ROMs, and the Pixels are probably the most popular phones amongst the type of people who would like to attempt that as a result. (Personally, I stick with Google's Android.)

Degoogled Pixel 4a that I bought to replace my broken Pixel 4a. I'm gonna use this thing until it dies and then maybe buy another one. I'm not sure when another phone this hold-able, reasonably powerful enough, and good LineageOS support will get released.

Samsung A52. Great battery, 90hz, works with Tello, and is cheap.
