Second hand Pixel 6 Pro with Graphene OS (don't give your money to Google!)
Galaxy A53 5G - Main phone. Galaxy A13 5G - Secondary phone.
Pixel 6 Pro. I'll probably get the Pixel Fold over the 8 Pro if there are good sales this fall.
I'm using a HTC U11 life.
I had to change the front camera.
And battery is draining quite fast now.
Right now I'm using a Google Pixel 6 Pro. I was hoping to get the Pixel Fold, but it isn't launching in Canada, so not sure if I wait for a Pixel Fold generation that does or pull the trigger on the Z Fold 5 when it comes out.
Galaxy Z Fold 3. Loving the folding phone life, very interested in moving over to the pixel fold, probably not this year but maybe for the 2.
currently using an S22, next phone will likely be one I can install a custom ROM on. perhaps a pixel
Galaxy Note 10+
OnePlus 10 Pro. Came from a Pixel 2 XL so it was a pretty big step up. Pretty happy with it.
Galaxy A32 4G (2021). Alright camera & specs, 3.5" audio jack, dedicated μSDXC port, DS/DS, FM radio. Decent price point. Dropped OneUI for NovaLauncher.
The most annoying thing about getting it was the fact the 5G version is a completely different phone- different dimensions & all. But shops didn't seem to realise this. They stocked exclusively the 4G phone (fine by me: it's specced better) but the 5G peripherals. So I had to go online to get case etc.
Pixel 6a - was happily using a Pixel 5a for the past ~2 years until it had a spontaneous motherboard failure 3 weeks ago 🙃. Google replaced it with a 6a, I'm still annoyed the 5a can become a brick with no warning but I'm very happy with the 6a with GrapheneOS so far and plan to stick with it until the OS updates stop.
Lineageos motorola one 5g ace. However the charging port is being fickle so i will be replacing it in the next month or so with the oneplus nord n200. Were it not for the charging port i would keep the moto and be very happy. First phone i have ever had start to fail like that. I have backed up all my data onto my old pixel 3a xl just in case the moto just wont charge one day when i plug it in.
S21U. Haven't found anything super compelling to upgrade to yet.
Fairphone 4 with DivestOS
Droid 4. Love that keyboard. It barely functions as a cell device now that 3g has been shut down though. I just use it as a wifi device / tiny laptop.
Flip 3
Just got a Motorola Stylus 5G refurbished for $180 - no complaints so far, can't beat it for the price
Pixel 4a, best phone ove ever had. This is the last year for OS updates so I gave to either roll with an unsupported OS or move to something like Lineage
Really digging the Sony Xperia Pro-I. Wanted to try something new that wasn't a Pixel or a Galaxy
Same here. Using a Pixel 6a but really hoping for more manual control in the camera app. The Xperia 1 V looks really good this generation, but then you're missing out on the excellent stock camera the Pixels are known for.
Love my Oneplus 6t. Been the best phone for custom Roms. Currently running /e/OS, no Gapps, clean and sleek.
I'm also here on a Pixel 7, lots of my die hard android friends are also on Pixels as well.
I moved from the Note to a Pixel 1 and haven't looked back. I kept the Pixel 1 until it would not turn on anymore. I just feel in love with the simple clean Android install. After that I got a Pixel 4XL and a few months later my wife finally gave in and I got her a Pixel 5.
A couple of months ago my wife dropped her 5 and just cracked the shit out of her screen. So I ordered her a Pixel 7, which she loves. Unfortunately not even a week later my Pixel 4 XL died. It won't hold a charge without being plugged in. I didn't want to spring for two new phones so close together, so I grabbed my wife's old S8. I couldn't take it. All the stupid Samsung specific apps. The inability to remove Facebook or Bigsby drove me nuts. I ended up just using her Pixel 5, broken screen and all over the S8. Hoping to get enough cash to order a 7 pro for myself soon.
I'll be sure to let everyone know when I do order a 7, because of history repeats itself like with my last two Pixel purchases, the Pixel 8 will be announced the next day.
Pixel 7.
I know that a few others have had problems with this phone, but it's been fairly solid for me. Camera is great, too.
Now that I've said that, I've probably jinxed it, and will RMA it tomorrow...
Same! This was my first brand new, pre-ordered phone. Got it day one and I love it. I've only had two issues: rarely, the volume buttons stop working only for the volume adjustment; I can still screenshot with them. Second, the haptic feedback for the keyboard will randomly stop working; again, other haptic sources still work. Both just require a quick restart, which I should be doing more often anyway. Besides those tiny and weird bugs, it's been perfect.
Oneplus 10 pro. Was planning on moving away from Oneplus, but I got it cheap.
Rocking my S10+ since release! (I despise the fingerprint sensor though )
OnePlus 8 IN2015
Motorola One Vision from 2019, it'll have 4 years in few days, never had a phone last that long, i mean I always used budget mid range phones and was disappointed, so I had new phone every 2-3 years, so my MOV has Exyons CPU, it always had problems with fluidity, i mean it's not slow, it's fluid 99% of the time but when it snot fluid you feel the crunch, looks like hitty optimization, guess Motorola cant into Exynos, battery went to shit but it was small from the beginning, cameras were shit from the beginning, i mean it's good if you're not zooming, even 2x zoom is noticeable, but otherwise i'm enjoying it, i especially like the form factor
but otherwise it's a great phone, now i'm looking to upgrade but i want something better, nice camera so i can take better photos from further away, 5G, good software support (updates), large storage, wireless charging and water resistance would be nice. I like pure android so Xperia phones look good (21:9), but at my low budget Xperia 10 is laughable comparing to others at the price range, i mean 6GBs of ram and mediocre CPU? Pixels aren't supported in my country, so no WIFI calling, VoLTE and 5G. Nothing Phone (1) and Galaxy A54 look nice tho
Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) with lots of replacement parts running LineageOS. Still a solid daily driver.
Sadly there are very little modern options of suitable small Android phones.
Mine is a Pixel 3 XL. Not sure if anyone is using an older Pixel at the moment in this sub
The S23 Ultra. Left the S22+ because of how bad the battery life was (thanks Qualcomm) but loving my S23U.
the one downside is size. it's massive^.
Same! Bit too large but I wanted all the cameras.
Came from a Note 9 and it still feels a lot bigger.
