Moi? I use currently a NOTE 20 ultra 5g. Probably my second best phone, I only hate the fact it’s so massive (I miss being able to use just one hand for my phone) and the mediocre battery life for someone like me that watches a lot of videos. But the S pen is so handy those few times you need it.

    One Plus 8, it’s been more than 4 years. I refreshed it with a /e/OS install and I still love it!

    I’ve only had to replace the charging port a few days ago. It’s not too hard if you have a heat gun

    Current Pixel 9 Pro. Second best phone I’ve used, but it hasn’t stood the test of time yet.

    Best I used was the Galaxy S7.

    Note 9 would be my top choice, but it started having display issues around the 2-year mark.

    Sony Xperia 5 V

    Great camera, small size, excellent battery life, removable storage, IP rated, and has a headphone jack. The only thing it is missing is a removable battery.

    The OnePlus 7t back when it was on oxygen os 10. Great hardware, perfect software. It was the first phone I got where I didn’t need or want to flash a custom rom. Unfortunately, every software update that it got since then felt like a downgrad. After oxygen os 10, oxygen os and Oppo’s color os have been going through something of a merge. The result is that oxygen os is no longer as stock-like as it used to be and lots of small convenience features have disappeared in favor of flashy yet useless-to-me features. I have an 8t now and it’s fine but I don’t think that I’ll get another OnePlus.

    I recently got an Asus zenfone 10. I usually buy midrange phones but this time I couldn’t find a good one. I like small phones, and they seem to be an endangered species these days. This one also has a headphone jack which is nice.

    Currently using a OnePlus 9 Pro. Best phone I’ve used? The OnePlus 5t, hands down. Slightly wider aspect ratio in portrait orientation, great screen, camera and fingerprint reader for its day and fantastic 3rd party ROM selection.

      Seconded! My 5T was the best phone I’ve ever carried. I carry the OP11 5G these days and I’ve been really happy with it, but overall I prefer the size and weight of the 5T.

    Currently using a Google Pixel 8, I’ve been reading up about GrapheneOS.

    Why would an average user need to install this over the stock OS?

      To not be dependent on Google and send all your data to them.

      I know the average user doesn’t care, but they should.

      New interface, customisation, fdroid apps, security updates/data protection; the list goes on, I think…? 🤔 I haven’t looked it up in a while; but it’s definitely one of the reasons I got a Pixel 8 Pro. You should stay curious.

    I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max. It’s a nice phone. I like IOS better than I thought I would. I do think the Galaxy I had before it was pretty good though, too. If I didn’t struggle so much with the iPhone keyboard, I guess this would be my favorite, but I use my phone so much and the swipe typing is so rough, it’s hard to give a full endorsement.

    That said, I am probably overestimating how gos typing on Android was. I remember lots of autocorrect issues, but iOS has a bunch of keyboard bugs that make correcting errors even more frustrating than making them in the first place.

    Current: Pixel 6a. Probably the best out of all the phones I’ve owned. Wish the battery life was a little bit longer.

    I do have a soft spot for my first ever smartphone, the Nexus 4. I adored it.

    Asus Zenphone 10; headphone jack, minimal bloatware, two physical sim slots, good battery, small size so it actually fits in a pocket, finger print sensor on the power button so it’s seamless to unlock. Best phone I’ve had in quite a while

    One possible drawback is that I don’t think it supports esim or has an sd card slot.

    iPhone 14 Pro. Got it deeply discounted from my carrier when the 15 line came out.

    It’s ok, but it’s a modern smartphone like any other so I have too many dislikes to say it’s the best. The phone I think of most fondly was probably my LG Keybo 2
