    OnePlus 8T - Rooted & running HavocOS. Performance is great, battery is really good and charges quickly, and 120hz display is nice. I have Termux-X11 installed so I can have a whole Linux desktop on external monitor using HDMI out over USB.

    My only gripe is the device is large and uncomfortable for one-handed use. I would ideally want the Asus Zenfone 9/10 mainly because of the smaller size but it doesn’t support HDMI out :(

    Currently rocking a Samsung Galaxy A53 5G. Bought this to replace my old shattered Xiaomi Redmi Note 8.

    I’ve been using Android phones since a long time. Started out with a Galaxy Y, loved those small phones with TouchWiz 3!

    My most favorite phones I’ve owned over the years have to be my most beloved Xiaomi Mi A1 (probably the best clean stock Android experience I’ve had), the Pixel 3a, Sony Xperia M, and the Moto G2 2014 (again, with the cleanest Marshmallow experience).

    My A53 is good, mainly got it because I’ve kind of gotten old tired of experimenting with new ROMs lol. I don’t plan on upgrading for 4 more years…this phone does everything I need it to, and it’s decent enough to last it’s promised update life cycle.

    Galaxy Note 10+ 5G and Waydroid. Might go for a Pixel in the future, idk - not overly happy with my current phone. I love my old Note and wish I could go back to it.

    Waydroid is there so I can have Apple Music for Android running on my Linux rig.

    Guess I’m the only one with a Sony Xperia phone.

    Got a 1 iii, love the display and candy bar shape, tiny bezels and headphone jack with expandable storage.

    Dislike the limited brightness range outdoors on sunny days, and how the battery dies after four hours of heavy use, lol. (Though I do multitask it hard, so it’s understandable)

      I would actually love a Sony, since Hardware and feature wise they seem great. Good form factor, SD card and headphone jack.

      But the high price and especially the short software support just turn me off.

    Pixel 4a. The perfect size phone and though the battery is losing its life a little bit, I’m going to keep it as long as possible.

      I loved the size of my Pixel 3a! It’s a shame they’re hard to fix in my country; I’d rather have a phone that size than the huge ones that seem to be default now.

      I still have a 3a, and the battery is definitely losing it. Have you thought about replacing the battery in yours? I’d love to hear your considerations.

        I’ve thought about it, but to be honest, I’m more likely to trade the phone in and get money off a new one.

        But hopefully that shouldn’t be until next year.

    OnePlus 9pro

    Like: it is fast, clean, it has a Silent/Vibrate/Ring switch, good screen.

    Dislike: no headphone jack, the Snapdragon 888 isn’t efficient, it heats quickly and it isn’t good for the battery life.

    Samsung S23 Ultra. Been using Samsung phones the past few years, since the S10 Ultra, and I’ve enjoyed using them. One UI isn’t the bloated garbage it used to be, and Samsung has added some nice tweaks and features. Also, the Good Lock tweaks are fantastic and I’m surprised some just aren’t baked into One UI. Battery life has been stellar too.

    The weight is probably the thing I don’t like most. Makes a difficult to use one-handed sometimes.

      I stopped using Samsung because the bloat. But my last one was a Note 4. I’m really interested in the Fold 5 because the stylus, but hesitant because the OS. If Pixel Fold had a stylus, it would be a no brainer for me.

        Samsung has really come a long way since the Note 4. The overall experience is arguably better than Google’s at this point in a number of ways.
