What smartphones are people using nowadays?

posted 10 months ago

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.

Still using my Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, for me it’s perfect.

Continues to be up to date, hardware and software wise.

My S21 is the one to unfortunately kick the bucket. It could potentially be repaired but I expect the cost of repairing it is going to be comparable to just buying a new phone.

If I can fix the USB C port I can at least still use it for DeX or as an android tv somewhere I’m sure
