Poco X3 NFC with a custom ROM, i bought it because it is cheap and it's great for buildbotting.

iPhone 13 mini. I’m so sad they discontinued the mini, it’s the perfect phone for me so I’m holding onto it until it dies which seems to be coming soon :(

Google pixel for the following reasons:

Smart insights via Google assistant:

1. Bill due soon reminders via Google assistant. It can read my email and remind me of upcoming bills, their amount, who it's too, and when it's due. Sends a notification to the phone.

2. Finance watchlist notification: at the end of each market day it will send me a notification just showing me how my watchlist performed for the day

Phone:

3. Call screening, business calls, spam, and robo

4. Hold for me feature.

5. Phone trees visual

6. Visual voicemail - live transcripts

Google translate:

7. Live translation of audio

8. Translate any sign or text via Google lens

9. Search visually via Google lens

Customization

10. Theme settings independent of device. You can set each app individually. Some apps are better in light mode

Google assistant integration in the phone. Call and text people, reduce volume, paused audio, set volume, google search, turn on flash light etc. You can control features of your phone with your voice. It's fantastic.

It's a really smart, smart phone.

iPhone 14 Pro Max. I know, I know, but the battery life can’t be beat. Great speaker, screen and camera too. Used to have a Huawei P30 Pro that was awesome though

Samsung Galaxy S22. Wanted it to be an upgrade from my dying OnePlus 6, but smaller. Not much choice for small, but beefy phone.

Poco X3 NFC with LineageOS.

200,-€ price, excellent photo quality if paired with fitting GCAM mod (AGC) plus config. Powerful enough as daily driver, privacy-frieendly enough after some simple changes, runs everything I need & if it drops & breaks (2 kids at home...) it's an affordable loss (I'm diligent about backups).

Samsung galaxy s9. Secure Folder let's me put my ms exchange work email on without my employer being able to remote wipe my phone

OnePlus 8 Pro but I'm thinking about switching to Pixel 7 Pro, or 8 if I wait long enough.

Does anyone have any experience with Pixels? Are they worth it?

I'm rocking a pixel 6 pro. I like having the option of being able to unlock the bootloader and install custom roms, and the easy access to reflash the official os with just adb/fastboot as opposed to other androids requiring extra tools. Getting updates every month is also important to me.

iPhone 11, bought three years ago. I chose it mainly because of its good battery life, since the only feature I really care about my phone

I've got the OnePlus Nord 2 Pac-Man Edition running OxygenOS (Android) and I plan to use it as long as possible before switching to Fairphone eventually

Using Xiaomi 12T Pro running xiaomi.eu rom on it. At first I didn't like their ui but now I think it's pretty good. I used to go for AOSP roms but I'm getting used to MIUI now.

I don't want to install nothing that isn't the default stock though, with some changes in this vs, but stock.

In the last I'd instal a custom rom as soon as I got a new phone (Cyanogenmod or wtv name they came with after), but after 4 years or so of doing this I noticed that my pictures looked like crap when compared to photos with the stock rom.

Apparently it was due to drivers and some of the drivers not being public. At the time whenever I went on vacations, is change back to stock to have the best photos possible. But I don't really feel like doing that all over again.

Motorola One Action. Close to stock Android, good enough for what i need, and it was cheap. That last one was the real reason to get it, if I'm honest...

Edit: Seeing mentions of the fairphone, i looked into that but when i needed a new phone, the existing version (2?) Was quite outdated. It's a contender for my next phone, though. Hopefully not for a while.

Motorola Edge 30. Really close to stock Android and no much bloatware. Will be switching to a Pixel soon.

Still rocking my Oneplus 7Pro but thinking I might want to upgrade to the new Google Pixel 8 when it comes out. I like stock Android and Google phones have been pretty nice from what I've seen and from the little amount of time I've used and played with them in stores. I like the ability to install a privacy focused rom like GrapheneOS too. But the only thing now holding me back from deciding on the Pixel 8 is the temperature reader like that's something I know I won't be using and I don't want to be paying for that when I know I won't be using that feature.

I'm getting a Sony Xperia 10 III cause one can also install SailfishOS on it. Sony provides AOSP for their phones, and a headphone Jack.

Poco X3 pro with stock because it is a lot of phone for the money.

Bought it to install Lineageos, then never got round to it.

Pixel4a running CalyxOS

I've got an oppo reno8. Before I got this phone I promised myself I'd do a bunch of research to find a phone that was better than what I had, and that I could root.

In the end life got in the way and I just got a higher number phone (went from oppo reno 4 to 8) because I knew the phone was OK. Kinda regret it now

Samsung s10+ and I bought it so I could flash lineageOS on it. I only exclusively buy phones that can handle Lineage now. I'll rock this one until it dies or the battery gets too degraded and then buy another lineage comparable phone and continue the cycle. Each phone usually lasts around 4-5 years.

Stock Android, Galaxy S21.

I wanted a smaller footprint phone with wireless charging, if not for the last part I'd go for Asus Zenfone 8.

I'm planning to switch to Zenfone 10 when it comes out this summer.

Nice!

I run a oneplus one, with lineageOS 18 and magisk. I am able to do banking, UPI(a quick form of banking in my country), document management(digilocker, for official govt issued documents), social media, etc.

It's slow sometimes but if you can ensure it doesn't heat up, it's a really good setup.

It's a hand-me-down, one of the best handmedowns anyone could want

Galaxy S23, because I use Android for 13 years now (no Apple devices for me) and it is one of the few smaller devices. Also great battery life, performance (finally Snapdragon in Europe) and very long update support.

Xiaomi Mi10 Lite with stock firmware. Xiaomi QIN22F as a second phone. I've tried some third-party Android variations, but none of them, including LineageOS, I liked to use. Or rather I liked LineageOS when it was still CyanogwenMod, and then, as usual, everything went wrong.

I have a Poco x3 NFC because it's cheap for the hardware it delivers and I have no money to buy a Pixel Phone ..it runs Lineage OS with microg to degoogle it

I got an S20FE because the screen on my s8+ was smashed to hell. I like the size, flat screen, it was relatively cheap at the time ~$500, it has expandable storage, a high end chipset, and 120hz screen. Overall, I love this phone, have no regrets buying it. Hoping I can hold onto it for a few more years haha

Nothing Phone 1. Using it because looks amazing
