I really like the looks of those TCL NXTpaper phones. They use a matte color eink display that looks amazing.

Just bought a Galaxy s20+ ultra refurbished a couple of months ago. Only cost like 300 and had comparable specs to the current $1500 phones.
Wife has to have apple and I couldn't bring myself to buy her refurbished for her birthday... bit the bullet and got an iPhone that was 1 or 2 generations old, still cost like 800-900.
I have an iPhone 11 Pro. It’s a few years old now, but still gets updates and is still quick enough. However, the battery is fading pretty quick and Apple has made replacement inconvenient at best. I’m going to order a DIY battery kit that will hopefully take care of that, otherwise it’s gonna be replacement time.
A Librem 5. It's exactly what i want, a small desktop PC with modem in it.
rn using a Samsung Galaxy A32, planning to switch to a pixel 7a eventually
Pixel 7. It's fine.
Pixel
Recently got myself a Pixel 7a and it's been a great experience.
a Pixel 3 they're basically the Google equivalent to the iPhone I did some work merging code for my Fire tablet's Android kernel, and when I saw how much development Google put into Android, I figured Pixels would probably have the best drivers thing is kinda old, but it works great for my purposes no SD card slot though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but it came bundled with a few USB adapters, a wireless charger, and some headphones.
They're all pretty much the same, unless you're looking for specific use cases, e.g. camera, outdoors ruggedness, gaming, specific OS build, etc. I stopped getting flagships once I realized my old ones battery started to swell like a cheaper phone. I'm on Android, so I get to replace any app with the one of my choice - I'm particular about data submissions to home and sneaky stuff like autotagging. Now all I look for is a recent android build (for app compatibility), decent camera hardware (I'll replace the app), IP68 and a good price.

My Pixel 6 Pro got smashed up in a bike crash, so I recently replaced it with a Pixel 7a.
I don't know if anyone's run desktop Linux on them, but I'd guess if there's any phone where that's been done, it'd be a Pixel. They make it easy to run other Android ROMs, and the Pixels are probably the most popular phones amongst the type of people who would like to attempt that as a result. (Personally, I stick with Google's Android.)
iPhone 13 Pro. Probably going to upgrade to a 16 Pro this fall.
Degoogled Pixel 4a that I bought to replace my broken Pixel 4a. I'm gonna use this thing until it dies and then maybe buy another one. I'm not sure when another phone this hold-able, reasonably powerful enough, and good LineageOS support will get released.

Pixel 8 Pro. I'm satisfied of it. The first thing I did was unlocking and the second rooting.
S10+ it's running for me for the last 3 years. Used Samsung's cost like 1/4-> 1/3 the starting price about 1.5 years after release.
I am still using Redmi note 5 pro and it's working great!
