My phone's just bitten the dust and now I need to look for a new one again.

Thought I'd test the waters and see what kinds of phones people on here are using nowadays and what for, what features set them apart if any etc

Bonus points if anyone's managed to get mainline linux running on them either via KVM or bare metal

Edit: Thanks for everyone who talked about their choices of phone, I am now writing this on a fairphone 4 and am quite happy with it so far.

Samsung ultras series with a pen. The pen feeling is real-time. Also pretty robust little thing. I’ve had it a few years and I love this phone.

I also still have an lg g4 that still works. I keep it as a backup emergency given that it still works and has a replaceable battery.

Pixel 6 pro on graphene os and an iPhone 13 pro max

Smasnug A40. It can run a browser, SSH, and play music. It has USB-C and a headphone jack.

I dread the day I have to replace it.

OnePlus 8T with LineageOS 21 on it. Thing's already a version of Android past official support, and it works great. Zero complaints, I don't see myself upgrading anytime soon. I expect to see at least another 2 years on that phone, maybe longer. Averaging 25% memory utilization, so it's got room for Android's enshittification for quite a while still.

Got a guide to setting it up? I've got a spare 8t I'd like to do that to

Original iPhone SE. still receiving security updates, and the perfect size for my hand. I hate the trend towards phablets.

Xiaomi 13: great for pictures, shitty OS

Pixel 8 Pro/CalyxOS. Originally considered PinePhone/FairPhone, but mobile Linux just doesn't cut it for me quite yet. Originally considered installing GrapheneOS, but learned that the developer is yikes.

There are a handful of issues, but it's working pretty well overall. I don't miss iOS, except for Spotlight.

Pixel owner here.

Do you feel like you've given up on any major flagship Pixel technology by putting another OS on it?

iPhone 8, I have been surprised by how long it has lasted so far. Still gets security updates every now and then.

Next phone is probably going to be a fairphone.

Murena 1, its the phone made by e os

[–] Mostly_Harmless@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (13 children)

iphone. They're solid and they get updates forever so there is no rush to upgrade. I don't miss Android and not getting updates 6 months after I buy the phone.

Pixel 5, it's fine. Used to unlock bootloader/flash a custom os but less hobbyist lately with the phone, next one I get is definitely going to have a headphone jack though.
