I've got this Huawei P20 lite since 2018 and it's the best phone I've owned. Still rock solid. Unfortunately it's android 9 and OS updates stopped being rolled out in 2022.

If I could I would buy a Huawei again, but it's kind of out of market here. I'm evaluating something from the same manufacturing chain (Honor phones I believe?)

Moto g32. Wanted something as stock rom as possible, with headphone jack, reasonable camera, somewhat decent battery life and horsepower under the hood at a decent price (less than $200).

I'm looking for XDA guys to develop a lineageOS rom for this phone, and it will be my "I'm at home" of phone.

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.

Nokia G20, Android One.

1. Nokia is a cheap mid range phone
2. Android One is distributed by Google rather than the handset manufacturer. I'm not stuck with a manufacturers reluctance to offer updates for last year's model as a driver for more sales of this year's model.
3. Android One is free of manufacturer bloatware.

Nothing Phone 1. Using it because looks amazing

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

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

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.

nokia G50. default. invincible. dropped it 100 times, even once in the toilet and it still runs perfect.

All of my mobile devices use some Linux based operating system. I have a PinePhone running Mobian, a moto g7 play running LineageOS, and a Samsung Galaxy Tab s6e also running LineageOS.

I would prefer a GNU/Linux operating system like Debian to Android as I feel I have more freedom and power with a traditional GNU/Linux system, although I have come to accept that ungoogled Android operating systems can be just as good if the proprietary Google services and proprietary apps are avoided. I'd like to give the PinePhone another try as daily driver especially since Debian 12 has been released.

Edit: As for Apple, being locked out of installing your own apps from outside the Apple market is reason enough to avoid iOS. As a free software user I don't think any perceived security or privacy benefits justify the massive decrease in freedom. I also would not say Apple is merely "mildly annoying" https://stallman.org/apple.html

Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ 5G, I've been a fan of the Note series for a while when I was at university, and 5G was shiny and new so I went and got that. Android is/was my bread and butter there, I like the flexibility the Play Store has compared to the iOS App Store (i.e. I can have RetroArch)

I don't really use the Note features as much now and 5G is a bit useless for me right now, and I have a Steam Deck so emulation isn't really a thing I do on my phone. I might go iPhone in the future for that reason.

iPhone 12 Pro.

I don't own it because it's a great experience, I own it for the ecosystem. I use a Mac as my daily driver and an iPad as a reader/tablet. Then I bought AirPods, because they switch easily between all my devices. Then I subscribed to the Apple Music Family Plan where they support spatial audio on said AirPods. The list goes on.

The best phone I ever owned was a OnePlus 7 Pro, but as a Mac user, it was just too much of a hassle.

I have a Motorola Moto G Power 2021 that I use for software testing that I LOVE, but it will never be my primary phone.

Android (stock, for now) on a Pixel 6. As for why, I'm the "weirdo" in the peer group that uses Linux and Lemmy, so why wouldn't it track that I'd be the one messing up video quality on group texts with my green bubble?

Galaxy S23+ here, had the S10 and S7 before that. Great cameras (it matters to me) and very durable phones once you put them in a good case. The S23+ is easier on my old eyes and I easily get 3+ days battery life out of it. Samsung has also done a nice job slimming down the UI but I use the Nova launcher anyway.

Poco X3 pro with stock because it is a lot of phone for the money.

Bought it to install Lineageos, then never got round to it.

Pixel4a running CalyxOS

Fairphone 4 because I like the idea of a repairable, sustainable phone. Microg LineageOS because want to avoid google as much as I can (within reason).

Poco F2 Pro (lmi) with the custom ROM Paranoid Android CAF based A13.

I liked MIUI, but nothing beats the Pixel like experience!

I'm waiting for a waydroid to become usable on linux phones. Then I'll ditch android for a more open ecosystem.

but its Android for now.

Mi 11 Lite 5G + Lineage OS. After lesa tham two years, GPS, Mobile data and WiFi to some extentstoppedworkingi.
