Nokia 7.2 it's pretty solid with Android One. I would move to a different OS but I need android for my work and banking.

Poco X3 NFC

I got the 64/6 variant for ~$130. I mainly love the good custom ROM support. Has IR blaster, SD card, and headphone jack. Good camera especially with gcam. Great battery life.

Stock MIUI sucks so you really should have a custom ROM. US cell coverage isn't great.

I'm still rocking a Mi 9T, and I'm going to keep using it as long as I can find new batteries to put into it. Or until notchless phones with headphone jacks come back.

What android device are you using?

Pixel 6

What do you love the most?

The software is great, with all of the little quality of life features. Great camera and decent battery, inexpensive compared to other phones.

What do you dislike?

Video kinda sucks, however the Pixel 7 series fixed that. I also dislike how material you is biased: greens are extremely bright while blues are quite dull. The bezels are also insanely chonky.

Still hanging onto my Pixel 2 XL. The recent Pixel 6 and 7 looked good before launch but I've read of nothing but issues.

Trying to hold out for as long as I can but not sure what to get next. Somewhat limited as I'm on Google Fi.

Z Fold 3 - because it friggin folds open. I've been team Nexus/Pixel right up until this phone went on the used market for $900. It's the best I've ever had except for missing a headphone jack. Showing off photos, navigating, reading, and split screening are the main reasons to use the inner screens. Primary complaints are crappy apps like discord and Plex that don't work well on the front screen, and I make more typos on the skinny screen's keyboard.

Samsung Tab A 8.0 with S Pen (the Euro one) because it was cheap and I needed a device to watch movies and read books on the airplane, and a Home Assistant dashboard mounted next to my desktop. I don't use it enough to dislike anything about it.

Pixel 7 because its slim OS and good camera. Would love a stylus though. I've made peace with the lack of headphone jack.

Originally had Samsung since Galaxy S, then left at Note 4 because the bloat was bad. Then Sony Xperia X5 Premium, but the camera was bad. Now Pixel since Pixel 2XL.

For watches, had LG Watch R, then LG Style, Galaxy Watch 4, but ditched Android Wear for a Amazfit Bip S that lasts for days which allows me to track sleeping.

Pixel Fold. I had a lot of concerns about durability with the scare stories the media has reported but everything about it is fantastic. Big fan of the giant viewfinder and using the rear cam for selfies. The reading experience unfolded feels like reading a paperback. Side-by-side apps unlock a whole new productive side.

LG Wing.

Love the dual screen functionality of course but what's more impressive is the fact that the 2nd screen is concealed beautifully such that on first glance, you can't even tell that it's not a normal phone! The primary camera is also excellent.

The software is pretty shit. LG sacked their mobile division 2 years ago and while they have kept their promise of giving this phone Android 13, they've done the bare minimum effort to support it. You couldn't even tell it's android 13, has the same UI and features that they shipped with Android 11. The settings app is also inconsistent, some screens have that stock android feel others have the traditional LG UI. And bugs are plenty. The processor is another weak point, it's not able to keep up in 2023.

Currently have a Note 20 Ultra. I like the size and refresh rate of the screen, and its microSD card slot. Not a fan of its processor and battery size.

I'd normally upgrade to the S24 Ultra, its natural successor, but instead I'm waiting for either the:

• Fold 6 (if it has a decent camera, the Fold 5 leaks are disappointing)
• Surface Duo 3 (same, decent camera)

I can't get a Pixel Fold as I need Miracast tech inside my phone, and I'm not a fan of the Fold 1-4 aspect ratio of the upcoming OnePlus Fold. If they switch to the Pixel Fold style of opening landscape, I'd take another look at their Fold 2

I'm currently using a pixel 6 pro. I took a long break from Androids. The last one that I owned was a S9 Plus.

I love the screen with the high refresh rate and it's really responsive. I also love the live translate feature and all of the neat AI tricks that it has as well. I also was very hesitant because I've heard a lot about the battery life being bad, but the battery on mine is really good, as well as the fingerprint reader.

The only thing that I dislike would be the grip of the phone. I played around with both the pixel 6 and the pro and I would have to say the regular pixel 6 has a better grip, but I love the higher refresh rate and display on the 6 pro.

Edit: Oh and of course, the camera is amazing!

Picked up a Motorola Edge+ (2022) somewhat a month-ish ago after giving a Galaxy S23 a go for almost a month before. I just prefer Moto's experience more, even if updates are sparse and camera quality isn't as great.

Sure, it's notably bigger that what I've long-term used before (Xiaomi Mi 9 and the 2020 Motorola Edge), but the screen is pretty good and even though the Snapdragon 8 gen 1 is meh foe battery life, I'm not too intense on it and it charges pretty quick when I need a top-off.

The Galaxy S23 just wasn't my cup of tea. OneUI's launcher wasn't tunable the way I wanted, using a custom launcher to get my experience back broke gestures (as expected, but still), and it wasn't meaningfully smaller width-wise than the Mi 9, which I went back to for a while after I gave my fiancé my Moto Edge (2020).

It's also pretty damn hard to pass up a brand-new last-gen flagship for $500 plus manufacturer accidental protection 24 months and an extra year extended warranty.

I'm using a OnePlus 6

It's really fast and has a headphone jack, and you can get a second-hand one for really cheap (I got mine for ~170$). The preinstalled software sucks, but I've installed LineageOS on it and I'm really enjoying it

The only thing I don't like is that the battery is non-removable

Redmi K20 Pro (or Mi 9T Pro) been 3+ years. Basically using it for the Evo X and the pixel spoof. Will buy a new but compact phone soon. Not Apple!

Which Android devices are you currently using?

I have a Google Home Mini, a Google Chromecast, and I'm on my 4th phone powered by Android ... two from HTC and two are Pixels.

What do you love most about them?

The Home Mini and the Chromecast actually don't do too much that is useful for me. They mainly are just there doing not much.

The phones that I have chosen have been delightful. All Android phones are delightful, the cheap free phone that I got when I signed up for Visible (cell service) for my spouse was a piece of garbage. But that's the way that Android works: the developer/manufacturer can roll it to be whatever they want it to be.

What do you dislike?

I don't have anything to put here, but I'm looking forward to some of the responses.

Device

I'm on Pixel 6 running GrapheneOS,

Love

I control a lot of what the device is doing. I am a nerd, hence I want to use it, and because I use it, I am a nerd.

Hate

I spend a lot of time which I could've spent otherwise. Little feature that people show off let me feel like I've got an inferior device. I am talking about auto cropping a thing in an image on ios. At the same time ios can't play an oga file which is more important than apple's playground. It only happens once a year but seeing a friend airdropping something to a stranger feels like I'm missing out. I hate apple for being like shit. Compared to other androids ... no, I don't miss android auto. Pay could be there but not that neccessary. Being able to toggle wifi on or off is actually more important and seeing that even xiaomi etc. Still have the tiles but GrapheneOS doesn't feels like shit. Browsing the web with mull and vpn is slow compared to other devices with chromium browsers. Selfie camera is a banana. It takes long to start a video and long to stop one. It's difficult to post process on android due to the lack of apps and options.

Recommend it?

Tough call. It depends. Ideologically I'd say yes. For nerds, yes. For kids and young adults, yes if you are strong enough to resist the FOMO that people will give you.

Device #1: Google Pixel 6a

Likes: Affordable. Decent screen size (not overly large). Clear and readable. Checks most of the boxes for features I want. Great camera quality.

Dislikes: cellular modem isn't the greatest, especially poor in fringe areas. Screen not quite bright enough to read in direct sunlight. Battery life could be better. Can get warm at times when doing intensive activity (streaming videos, recording video). Wish it had a true zoom lens like the flagship phones.

Device #2: Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet

Likes: big screen, great for reading magazine style content, videos, web surfing. Awesome battery life. Expandable storage.

Didlikes: Samsung's implementation of gesture navigation is slow and awkward compared to Google's. Wide-screen aspect ratio isn't the best for portrait orientation (I'd rather have 4:3). Also hard to find a case that fit. Not enough internal storage.

OnePlus Nord N200 with LineageOS 20 (Android 13) with no google apps package installed.

Samsung Galaxy S10E, better Form factor for my pants pockets and medium (not over the top) media equipment I wont use anyways.

I'm using a OnePlus 9 and a Galaxy Tab S7. My tablet is mainly for reading manga and watching series, I'm quite happy with it.

I like some things in my phone, like the camera and the screen, but the battery is kinda awful and since I moved to the US, I may need a new one. It's kinda weird since I had 5G when I arrived but since a maybe a month ago, I just have 4G on ATT. I'm thinking on maybe getting a Zenphone 10 or a S23, any thoughts on that? I'd like to keep using both sims I already use.

OnePlus 8T - Rooted & running HavocOS. Performance is great, battery is really good and charges quickly, and 120hz display is nice. I have Termux-X11 installed so I can have a whole Linux desktop on external monitor using HDMI out over USB.

My only gripe is the device is large and uncomfortable for one-handed use. I would ideally want the Asus Zenfone 9/10 mainly because of the smaller size but it doesn't support HDMI out :(

redmi note 10s with lineage

it was cheap good performance going strong since 2 years stock android thanks to lineage

Samsung galaxy s21+ as my phone

I got it back at release when they let people stack discounts (paid like 40% the cost of the device). It's still fast enough for everything, a good size, I also got the care plus option with it so swapped to a brand new one earlier this year, want to get another 2 years out of it.

I also have a galaxy tab s6, but haven't ended up using it as much as I thought I would over the years.

Samsung z fold 3. Overall, I really like having a sizable screen on the go that doesn't require me to carry it around in a separate bag. The big screen also makes split screen/multiple windows for apps actually pretty viable ~~and I definitely don't just use this to run 4 instances of pokemon go~~. The downsides are no custom roms for the phone, and basically every general complaint about Samsung people have made. Battery leaves room to be desired, but unless I'm really using the phone a lot, it gets through the day perfectly fine. A trivial bonus is that the 4:3 screen is perfect for wii/gamecube emulation on the go.

Pixel 6a

Likes: As it's my first pixel phone I was shocked to see how smooth the OS (13) is, the haptic feedback being everywhere makes the device feel abit more snappier, double tapping the back of the phone as a gesture (it's kind of niche but it's nice to have)

Dislike: It gets toasty lmao (I'm not on 5g of anything so I'm kinda of confused why :(( ), ugly default contact app, so-so battery life

Pixel 7a

Vanilla Androie experience, fast updates and I like the visor astetic

Would love faster wireless charging
