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.

Yep, I am an IT guy, I just want my phone to work, and so far iOS has been perfect for me.

I love iCloud backups it just works.

I feel that—I find that’s the case for most of my IT friends.

I’d love to use iCloud backups, but I have some… sensitive stuff on my phone, so I stick to local encrypted backups hahaha

I also have some stuff I'd prefer to backup locally, so I have disabled iCloud backups for most of my apps and only really use it for core iOS features, like settings, texts, contacts, and local photo gallery.

Anything else is either manually backed up me or stuff I don't care about.

All my weird stuff is in photos, but I couldn’t back up 50k photos to iCloud if I tried hahaha
