I am typing this on my Pixel 7 (recommend me a Lemmy app please :D )

I had a 4a before this, I liked the finger print reader way better on the 4a but other than that my 7 is better, its the best and most expensive phone i've ever owned.

Before the 4a I had some random Honor and Huawei phones and I used to upgrade phones almost yearly which I felt was kinda depressing so I figured I should "invest" in a phone I could use for ~3 years.

The only Apple product i've had was some kind of iPod that I asked my uncle to copy cd's onto, it was kinda cool i guess.

Asus ZenFone 8.

I love it, it's a nice bit of kit, and the few gimmicks it has are useful: scheduled charging for better battery life, digital well being stuff to stop me being glued to my phone.

Battery would be a problem for a super power user, but lasts me all day with commuting, reading the web etc. Camera is not on a par with flagships but I rarely take pictures.

Prior to this I had a Huawei until the battery died on me. I upgrade when I have to, I hate consumer upgrade cycles.

I have zero android ecosystem products.

I'm Android/Linux all the way unless work force me to use a Mac, which happens periodically, as part of the great cycle of life.

What phone are you using? POCO F3

Are you happy with it? What are its best and worst qualities? Works and does everything i need, the camera is decent so i am happy about that.

Which phones have you had previously? Which were the best and worst of the lot? Hard to remember, however I will never forget my old OnePlus One... basically started this whole path of Android customization I took.

How often do you upgrade to a new phone? Honestly whenever my old one dies. I am not rich and phones are quite costly these days.

What other Android ecosystem devices do you have? Watches, headphones/earbuds, etc. Just my phone

Do you also use any Apple products, or are you Android all the way? (And/or Windows, Linux, ChromeOS, etc.) Just my phone, however I do have a server at home running Debian 12 and my desktop running Windows 11
