My phone’s just bitten the dust and now I need to look for a new one again.

Thought I’d test the waters and see what kinds of phones people on here are using nowadays and what for, what features set them apart if any etc

Bonus points if anyone’s managed to get mainline linux running on them either via KVM or bare metal

Edit: Thanks for everyone who talked about their choices of phone, I am now writing this on a fairphone 4 and am quite happy with it so far.

    The pixel six was not good. I use a pixel 7a and it solved a lot of the issues the 6 had. Also the pixel 8 is doing good in reviews.

        You can disagree all you want. The pixel six had many issues that are well cataloged. I’m happy you haven’t experienced any of those issues yourself but a great many people did.

      I chose a Moto G Stylus 5G (2022) over a Pixel 6a at the exact same price due to the reliability issues of the Pixel.
