Moi? I use currently a NOTE 20 ultra 5g. Probably my second best phone, I only hate the fact it’s so massive (I miss being able to use just one hand for my phone) and the mediocre battery life for someone like me that watches a lot of videos. But the S pen is so handy those few times you need it.
iPhone 15 pro currently. Blackberry passport was the GOAT though.
Current: S24U, Moto Razor 2023+, Pixel 8 Pro.
Best phone: Probably the LG V20 or V30. Can’t remember which.
Pixel 4a. I’m too lazy to get a new phone that often. Though, I don’t get any proper updates anymore, that sucks. Best phone has always been the current one I use at the time.
Pixel fold
V60
Best phone ever made, headphone jack, beautiful sound, perfect screen, had the extra screen if you wanted, did everything, microsd, no bullshit software, still had docked mode.
Had the z fold 3, was OK, but it was really way too skinny to use folded, and unfolding it all the time was a pain, the pixel fold really nailed the form factor.
Shame google makes garbage software, Samsung put infinite bloatware, but they also had docked mode and charge limit, which this crap doesnt. OTOH at least I can read and use it folded.
I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max. It’s a nice phone. I like IOS better than I thought I would. I do think the Galaxy I had before it was pretty good though, too. If I didn’t struggle so much with the iPhone keyboard, I guess this would be my favorite, but I use my phone so much and the swipe typing is so rough, it’s hard to give a full endorsement.
That said, I am probably overestimating how gos typing on Android was. I remember lots of autocorrect issues, but iOS has a bunch of keyboard bugs that make correcting errors even more frustrating than making them in the first place.
I’ve been using Apple phones since like 2008 I think. The keyboard used to be great. This last year I would be tearing my hair out if I had any hair. I don’t know what happened, but it has gone to absolute shirt. I am really hoping the more I type the better Apple AI and hopefully-smarter-Siri will get at figuring out what I’m trying to say. I’m really hoping because it’s endlessly frustrating and maddening for me.
Fun side note: I have very fond memories of my bright yellow Windows phone that I was given long ago when I worked at the AT&T store back in maybe 2014. I think it was a Nokia. They also gave me a Samsung back then at some point too. I have zero memories of any kind about that phone.
I also loved my windows phone. The seamless continuation moving from phone to laptop was something that only now is sort of coming back. The phone just needed apps but the os and the design was really fun.
Currently using a Galaxy A52s 5G w/ LineageOS… Best phone I’ve ever used.
Sony Xperia 5 V
Great camera, small size, excellent battery life, removable storage, IP rated, and has a headphone jack. The only thing it is missing is a removable battery.
This is ny daily driver as well. Just wish Sony would update the phone for longer
Yeah, I actually bought mine just before the VI models were available for purchase when I found out at 5 VI was not going to be produced. Its a big hole in the segment imo.
Currently using a OnePlus 9 Pro. Best phone I’ve used? The OnePlus 5t, hands down. Slightly wider aspect ratio in portrait orientation, great screen, camera and fingerprint reader for its day and fantastic 3rd party ROM selection.
Seconded! My 5T was the best phone I’ve ever carried. I carry the OP11 5G these days and I’ve been really happy with it, but overall I prefer the size and weight of the 5T.
The OnePlus 7t back when it was on oxygen os 10. Great hardware, perfect software. It was the first phone I got where I didn’t need or want to flash a custom rom. Unfortunately, every software update that it got since then felt like a downgrad. After oxygen os 10, oxygen os and Oppo’s color os have been going through something of a merge. The result is that oxygen os is no longer as stock-like as it used to be and lots of small convenience features have disappeared in favor of flashy yet useless-to-me features. I have an 8t now and it’s fine but I don’t think that I’ll get another OnePlus.
Currently a Galaxy S9+. Battery life isn’t the best anymore, and I’m running low on internal storage, but it’s still serving me well. I’m not even sure what I’d upgrade to, I really need the SD slot that almost nothing new has anymore.
Best was my old Motorola Droid 2, I miss slide-out keyboards so damn badly.
iPhone 15 Pro and Pixel 6 for work. They’re both fine. Does phone things. Wish the battery life on the iPhone were better though.
iPhone 12 Mini. I loved my 5S and first gen SE and I still can’t understand why phone manufacturers these days insist on making tablets and calling them phones. I just want something that fits in my pocket. I would probably have switched to Android years ago but I haven’t found a single Android phone with a small form factor, decent performance and decent camera.
12 mini for me too, for the same reason. Hopefully the trend will reverse and smaller phones will become more popular.
I’ve been a fan of the Pixels. I’m on a 7 now, no complaints.
Pixel 2 XL was my favorite phone and still works. I’m still on a Pixel 5 because of the physical fingerprint sensor
Same, 2XL was just a great phone all around, I really wish Google stuck with the panda colour scheme and not following trends like the notch or hole-punch, I’m on the 4a after my 5a shit itself, love the rear fingerprint reader!
I have a Fairphone 5. Maybe too expensive for what it is, but hopefully it doesn’t have a big evil annoying company behind it and it should hopefully last a while. Still running stock Android on it though, because I don’t want to lose Play Attestation or whatever it is called.
I dropped my FairPhone 5 from a bicycle on unwelcoming pavement at good speed. Broke the camera glasses, the screen protector, the carry case and the back cover. It looked positively destroyed and my first thought was “yay, it’s repairable”. Repairing was easy enough and aside from some war wounds on the side of the case (scratches) it’s as good as new. I’m glad I got this phone.
Aside from being repairable, I also appreciate the e/OS support.
Mine was 300€ used, definitely worth the money.
