I'm using a Sony Xperia 10iii which I got at the end of December to replace my aging LG V30. Got the white one because black was sold out. Which is ok as I actually quite like white.
Likes: Compact, tall, slender, beautiful design, great cameras, fast/responsive UI, headphone jack, SD card slot, 21:9 OLED screen, 2 day battery life
Dislikes: cases and accessories not available in my country. Have to import them.
I've had numerous phones starting with a Siemens, then Nokia 3310, then a Panasonic flip phone, then an iMate SP3 Windows phone, various Windows phones, Symbian phones, HTC window phone. Then got the iPhone 3G, HTC Wildfire, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPhone 5C. Then jumped to Android and got Sony Xperia Z2 which is my favourite of all time. That was a brilliant phone at the time and I even took photos underwater in the pool!
Then I had OnePlus X, Moto G, iPhone 7(terrible phone, got replaced twice), LG V30 and now Xperia 10iii.
I'm Android and Linux all the way (my Mac Mini runs Ubuntu) but I used to be a massive Apple fan. However after Steve died the company took a turn to the dark side and it's all about greed now.
I buy my phones outright when possible because I don't like debt and contracts. This means I often have to sell my old phone to subsidize the new one, but that's ok. It also means I never have a premium phone unless I get it used, or in the case of the V30, the Carrier still has old stock they want to get rid of. My Mobile carrier still had one V30 on the shelf from 2 years ago and they sold it for EUR240 just to get rid of it, so I bought it. Sold the iPhone 7 for EUR200 and just added 40 on top :-)
