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.

I’m leaning towards samsung again because of DeX and an absurdly high battery life in a couple of their phones, but samsung don’t seem much better than apple as a company

So. Much. Bloat. Otherwise good.

Canta + Shizuku to get rid of bloat without root. It’s great! I have no bloat left on my Samsung phone now.

The s22 ultra has amazing battery life. Prefer Samsung now (flagship only) over any others. They work very well, great battery, and camera. Can use it all day streaming and using navigation, still have 40% battery after 8hrs.

I have a 22+

Why is the camera a bit shit? I was hoping for a lot more after I upgraded from a 5 year old much cheaper Chinese phone.

Mine blows away the camera on the iPhone 13 and 14 pro that I also have. Not really.sure what your talking about, it has better hardware and software than any 5yr old phone
