Moto g32. Wanted something as stock rom as possible, with headphone jack, reasonable camera, somewhat decent battery life and horsepower under the hood at a decent price (less than $200).

I'm looking for XDA guys to develop a lineageOS rom for this phone, and it will be my "I'm at home" of phone.

Redmi Note 10 Pro with custom ROM (right now A13 based SparkOS, but I switch them from time to time). I have gms installed, but there's always an option to use vanilla version.

I'm looking to switch to LibreMobile OS (https://libremobileos.com/) for my second device, which is currently running Crdroid (also A13)

Samsung Galaxy A33 5G.

I kinda prefer One UI over other brands' takes on Android.

Mi 11 Lite 5G + Lineage OS. After lesa tham two years, GPS, Mobile data and WiFi to some extentstoppedworkingi.

I like to get new phones a lot. It’s something I use constantly for work etc. And I like the resell value of iPhones.

I didn't like where the newer OS versions on my Oneplus 7 pro were going and I couldn't for the life of me get my bank app to work with a custom ROM. It was around this time I found out that Apple does 6-7 years of software updates and to be fair, I'd never heard any of the iOS users in my circles complain about any iOS updates. So I bought an iPhone 13 mini last year.

I'd previously had some phones with relatively vanilla Android (quite good) and I'd tried other peoples' Samsungs in about 2011 or 2012 and that alone was enough that I decided never to buy one (no matter how good they may be now - in the early 2010s they were borderline unusable compared to something like the Xperia lineup).

Had Google announced the in-house designed SoC a few years earlier for there to be a 2nd or 3rd generation out by the time I switched, I might have chosen to remain with Android. But at the time we were on generation 1 of Tensor with lots of people complaining the phones weren't behaving nicely with Android 12 and going with anything with a Snapdragon SoC would've meant max 3 major versions of Android updates.

Samsung Galaxy S10e because it's the smallest I could reasonably get.

I'm using a Redmagic 8 Pro since February - loving it so far, besides cleaning the fan area.

Redmi Note 11. Cheap but good.

I bought a Samsung something-something because it was 200€ and it fits in my pocket.

Redmi note 8 with ArrowOS at the moment. I was using lineage on this and the note 5 before the 8 but there was a significant bug so landed on Arrow.

Plain old Android on a Samsung galaxy A-series.

I'm on Android partially out of familiarity - my first smartphone was a Samsung - but also because I like options! Let me theme it, let me use other app stores, let me install a custom OS if I feel like trying! (Mind you, I've also bricked an old phone but that was choice to try and fail miserably.)

I use OnePlus 7t. I got it because OnePlus's good lineageos support. However OnePlus 7t is particular is buggy in lineage, and their Oxygen OS (reads "color os") is a pure piece of shit and it is getting more and more irritating by the day.

If it is not the fact that most electronic waste are terrible for the environment, I would stab it with a thousand knife, and throw it to a rock near the river and get a pixel.

I would get a fairphone, but they don't ship where I live, unfortunately.

iPhone and iOS because I’m used to it, have other gadgets from the ecosystem (MacBook, iPad, Watch) and my employer prefers iOS and well supports macOS.

Pixel 6 and Android. Google lets you easily unlock the bootloader.

Samsung galaxy s20+

Had it 2 years, no complaints. Battery life and storage are good. Would never have an iPhone due to their restrictions on apps as you've touched upon.

A Redmi K50i. I was on a budget and it had the best chip by far...the Dimensity 8100. Also, as an audiophile, the high res headphone jack is a life saver as I don't really need to carry a DAC with me.

I use two phones, both a Samsung. A Galaxy A23 and a A52s. Waiting to get another

Oneplus Nord, about to swith to Xiaomi 12 or 13 or Pixel 7 Pro, as soon as I find out what's better for me (feel free to give advice and IRL experience!)

Android 11 on Oneplus 8t, I chose it because at the time I liked one plus before the oppo merge. I have not updated because they completely overhaul the ux with oppos software and I really didn't like how it worked and I couldn't make it work how I wanted.

Samsung S10e - LineageOS 20

Samsung S20 FE 5G

I don't really love Samsung. I've had it for maybe 2 years now, I think? But it stutters at times and I feel sometimes is slower that it should be.

But I went with it because of price + 5G + NFC. Poor battery, but has fast charge and I no longer have a need for prolonged periods without charging. Kinda satisfactory phone, tho.
