Oneplus Nord, about to swith to Xiaomi 12 or 13 or Pixel 7 Pro, as soon as I find out what's better for me (feel free to give advice and IRL experience!)

Android 11 on Oneplus 8t, I chose it because at the time I liked one plus before the oppo merge. I have not updated because they completely overhaul the ux with oppos software and I really didn't like how it worked and I couldn't make it work how I wanted.

iPhone 12, wanted something that would be supported for a long time and with prompt security updates. Also have an iPad and Apple Watch so the integration is nice. On the desktop though I run Kubuntu which would integrate better with Android.

Poco X3 NFC with xiaomi.eu ROM.

My only requirements were:

• released within the last year
• high refresh rate screen
• relatively small (similar in size to my pixel 5)

That meant there were only two phones I could buy, the galaxy S23 and the iPhone 14 Pro. I ended up buying the S23 because it was half the price, and I was "afraid" I wouldn't like iOS.

So far the S23 has been a great update compared to the pixel 5, with the exception of the cameras which were a clear downgrade imo.

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.

A Redmi K50i. I was on a budget and it had the best chip by far...the Dimensity 8100. Also, as an audiophile, the high res headphone jack is a life saver as I don't really need to carry a DAC with me.

I use two phones, both a Samsung. A Galaxy A23 and a A52s. Waiting to get another

Android, because a) I planned to do some app programming and b) I didn't want to step into Apple's walled garden and Microsoft couldn't be relied upon to stick with it (and didn't).

Samsung because it's pretty much the only player that isn't a Chinese company.

Pixel 6 and Android. Google lets you easily unlock the bootloader.

iPhone SE 2020 here. The main reason I like Apple is because the designs and sizes suit me better. I find that Samsung phones tend to be too big and focus on camera, rather than battery time (which I personally prioritise). I haven’t checked out other alternatives such as OnePlus, Pixel, Motorola since my parents only purchase either iPhone or Samsung. I think if Apple wasn’t so restrictive (their ecosystem), I would like them better (+their prices going down). It’s difficult finding compact phones that focus on battery time nowadays, as someone who doesn’t care for the camera… I truly wonder what new phone I will get in a few years.

I’d been using Android since the iPhone 3GS, but I got tired of the huge Android phones, that I could barely hold properly.

I ended up getting the iPhone 13 Mini. It’s the perfect size and it’s still a powerful phone.

I also came to love the Apple ecosystem. Everything work so good in tandem.

iPhone here.

Even though I use Linux on my laptops/desktop I feel as if the ancillary Apple ecosystem cannot be beat. I use the Apple TV along with it and it just works too well and without ads. Not to mention the Apple Watch

I also have my diabetic equipment paired to it. My insulin pump and glucose monitor work with my phone. (Only supported on iPhone atm)

iPhone 11 iOS 16. Suits my needs pretty well. iOS is just so much nicer to use than android
