I've got the OnePlus Nord 2 Pac-Man Edition running OxygenOS (Android) and I plan to use it as long as possible before switching to Fairphone eventually

OnePlus 11 Pro, highly customised UI, rooted, and propped up security.

Will never touch an iPhone with their clumsy unintuitive OS, nor an Android where I can't get root access to remove all the unnecessary clutter and harden the OS.

iPhone 11, bought three years ago. I chose it mainly because of its good battery life, since the only feature I really care about my phone

[โ€“] Antik@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Recently got a refurbished S20 ultra for the 5g.

This thing is great. 12 gb of ram, 128 gb internal storage, microsd slot up to 1tb, 108 MP camera...

I worked in a refurbishing warehouse of Cisco products, so I know they're good to go, so I always buy refurbished electronics when I can. Got the phone for $350, learned later that it retailed for like $1200 or something when it was released.

This thing is tits.

OnePlus 8 Pro but I'm thinking about switching to Pixel 7 Pro, or 8 if I wait long enough.

Does anyone have any experience with Pixels? Are they worth it?

[โ€“] tomatobeard@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I've used Pixels (and the Nexus line before that) for nearly 9 years and overall they've been great phones. Pixel 4 was really the only dud for me, but I haven't used them all, generally buy a used one every 2 years or so.

Right now I'm using a Pixel 5 which I like, and Mrs tomatobeard has a Pixel 6 which I'm a tad jealous of. Pixels have great Android support/updates, and also have good support in the custom ROM and modding community. My favorite phone ever was a Pixel 2 XL, and when Google stopped supporting it, I switched to Lineage os and kept rocking it for a year or more after.

[โ€“] cujo@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I adore my Pixel. I jumped on a Pixel 3a many years ago, and it was an incredible phone. There was a brief switch to an iPhone 11 when the Pixel 3a finally bit the dust (I am an abusive phone owner... it had been stepped on, dropped a half dozen or more times sans case, dropped in a lake, skittered across rocks, etc. It finally died because I applied a little pressure to a crack in the screen like an idiot...) but that didn't last long. I jumped right back to the Pixel 6 within a year of having the iPhone.

My main reasons for use are the incredible support, getting constant updates to the OS from Google, and the camera. It is a smooth and pleasant experience all around. I don't think I'll ever own another android phone. If I did switch to a different manufacturer, I'd almost definitely run some kind of custom ROM on it.

Still rocking the galaxy S9+.

My original one died a year ago and I tried the pixel 6, s22+, Asus Zenfone 9, and ROG phone 2, but nothing came close to being as nice to use, (no headphone jack, buggy software, little customization) so I got another s9+!

[โ€“] crdz@lemmy.one 3 points 2 years ago

Still rocking my Oneplus 7Pro but thinking I might want to upgrade to the new Google Pixel 8 when it comes out. I like stock Android and Google phones have been pretty nice from what I've seen and from the little amount of time I've used and played with them in stores. I like the ability to install a privacy focused rom like GrapheneOS too. But the only thing now holding me back from deciding on the Pixel 8 is the temperature reader like that's something I know I won't be using and I don't want to be paying for that when I know I won't be using that feature.

[โ€“] LongPigFlavor@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Android. Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra.

[โ€“] K3FFIE@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Samsung Galaxy S22. Wanted it to be an upgrade from my dying OnePlus 6, but smaller. Not much choice for small, but beefy phone.

[โ€“] settinmoon@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

pixel 6 pro in order to use graphene os

Motorola Moto G8 Power Lite. It was โ‚ฌ130, good battery, no bloatware, does all the things I need from a smartphone even if the touchscreen is starting to freak out from time to time. Probably need to change the display but I'm broke atm

[โ€“] Waker@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Using Xiaomi 12T Pro running xiaomi.eu rom on it. At first I didn't like their ui but now I think it's pretty good. I used to go for AOSP roms but I'm getting used to MIUI now.

I don't want to install nothing that isn't the default stock though, with some changes in this vs, but stock.

In the last I'd instal a custom rom as soon as I got a new phone (Cyanogenmod or wtv name they came with after), but after 4 years or so of doing this I noticed that my pictures looked like crap when compared to photos with the stock rom.

Apparently it was due to drivers and some of the drivers not being public. At the time whenever I went on vacations, is change back to stock to have the best photos possible. But I don't really feel like doing that all over again.

[โ€“] LeafTheTreesAlone@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

iPhone 14 pro max.

Upgrade from iPhone X that I bought 4 years ago? I want my phone to be stupidly simple and iPhone has always done that for me. I use my phone for everything and barely use my computer anymore so I went all in on it.

[โ€“] CaraDe3@vlemmy.net 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 5G, I've been using Xiaomi for 6 years now, I always had really bad phones until i bought a Redmi 6A, Really good phone and I've used this brand since

Samsung galaxy s9. Secure Folder let's me put my ms exchange work email on without my employer being able to remote wipe my phone

[โ€“] utopia_dig@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Galaxy S23, because I use Android for 13 years now (no Apple devices for me) and it is one of the few smaller devices. Also great battery life, performance (finally Snapdragon in Europe) and very long update support.

[โ€“] Father_Redbeard@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

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.

[โ€“] poudlardo@terefere.eu 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[โ€“] amoroso@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Google Pixel 7 Pro with Google's Android. I've always used Nexus and Pixel phones because on my daily driver I want the stock Android experience with no vendor skins or bloatware, as well as regular system updates and security patches.

[โ€“] Esjee@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Nothing Phone 1. Using it because looks amazing

[โ€“] crashbash111@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (3 children)

OnePlus 11. Previous phone was the OnePlus 6 which I loved a tonne, but it eventually became a bit too slow for me. I almost picked a Pixel phone as I don't agree with OnePlus moving away from the stock android look in favour of Oxygen OS and the overall cost of their latest flagships, but it was good to see a shift back in the right direction with the OP11. Love this phone even if it isn't completely the same as stock.

Nice!

I run a oneplus one, with lineageOS 18 and magisk. I am able to do banking, UPI(a quick form of banking in my country), document management(digilocker, for official govt issued documents), social media, etc.

It's slow sometimes but if you can ensure it doesn't heat up, it's a really good setup.

It's a hand-me-down, one of the best handmedowns anyone could want

[โ€“] notExactlyI20@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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.

[โ€“] fernandu00@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

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

[โ€“] burgersc12@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

I got an S20FE because the screen on my s8+ was smashed to hell. I like the size, flat screen, it was relatively cheap at the time ~$500, it has expandable storage, a high end chipset, and 120hz screen. Overall, I love this phone, have no regrets buying it. Hoping I can hold onto it for a few more years haha

[โ€“] midas@ymmel.nl 2 points 2 years ago

I've got an oppo reno8. Before I got this phone I promised myself I'd do a bunch of research to find a phone that was better than what I had, and that I could root.

In the end life got in the way and I just got a higher number phone (went from oppo reno 4 to 8) because I knew the phone was OK. Kinda regret it now

[โ€“] green_dot@le.fduck.net 2 points 2 years ago

I chose Pixel, after few months running stock android builds on xioami phones. And I like it, its not overbloated, and if you want you can run grapheneos there.

[โ€“] Flaky@iusearchlinux.fyi 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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.
