Pixel 6 and Android. Google lets you easily unlock the bootloader.

Samsung Flip 3 because it folds. I like having a compact phone. (I sometimes miss my iPhone SE)

Android 12 on my Moto G Stylus 5G (2022).

This phone is an overall excellent value in the US. A drawback to some is the paucity of Android updates, but the new restrictions present in Android 14 have me relieved that I bought a phone that will never "upgrade" to that OS.

I use two phones, both a Samsung. A Galaxy A23 and a A52s. Waiting to get another

Android, because a) I planned to do some app programming and b) I didn't want to step into Apple's walled garden and Microsoft couldn't be relied upon to stick with it (and didn't).

Samsung because it's pretty much the only player that isn't a Chinese company.

One Plus 9 5g. I fucking hate this phone. I was in love with the One Plus 6t. Amazing flagship killer but the 9 is full of bugs and memory leakage that have only gotten worse since the update to Android Oxygen.

My only requirements were:

• released within the last year
• high refresh rate screen
• relatively small (similar in size to my pixel 5)

That meant there were only two phones I could buy, the galaxy S23 and the iPhone 14 Pro. I ended up buying the S23 because it was half the price, and I was "afraid" I wouldn't like iOS.

So far the S23 has been a great update compared to the pixel 5, with the exception of the cameras which were a clear downgrade imo.

Mi 11 Lite 5G + Lineage OS. After lesa tham two years, GPS, Mobile data and WiFi to some extentstoppedworkingi.

I like to get new phones a lot. It’s something I use constantly for work etc. And I like the resell value of iPhones.

Samsung Galaxy S10e because it's the smallest I could reasonably get.

Redmi note 8 with ArrowOS at the moment. I was using lineage on this and the note 5 before the 8 but there was a significant bug so landed on Arrow.

iPhone and iOS because I’m used to it, have other gadgets from the ecosystem (MacBook, iPad, Watch) and my employer prefers iOS and well supports macOS.

iPhone here.

Even though I use Linux on my laptops/desktop I feel as if the ancillary Apple ecosystem cannot be beat. I use the Apple TV along with it and it just works too well and without ads. Not to mention the Apple Watch

I also have my diabetic equipment paired to it. My insulin pump and glucose monitor work with my phone. (Only supported on iPhone atm)

I’d been using Android since the iPhone 3GS, but I got tired of the huge Android phones, that I could barely hold properly.

I ended up getting the iPhone 13 Mini. It’s the perfect size and it’s still a powerful phone.

I also came to love the Apple ecosystem. Everything work so good in tandem.

iPhone 11 iOS 16. Suits my needs pretty well. iOS is just so much nicer to use than android
