What smartphones are people using nowadays? (lemm.ee)

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.

Pixel 6 pro on graphene os and an iPhone 13 pro max

OnePlus 8T with LineageOS 21 on it. Thing's already a version of Android past official support, and it works great. Zero complaints, I don't see myself upgrading anytime soon. I expect to see at least another 2 years on that phone, maybe longer. Averaging 25% memory utilization, so it's got room for Android's enshittification for quite a while still.

Smasnug A40. It can run a browser, SSH, and play music. It has USB-C and a headphone jack.

I dread the day I have to replace it.

My OnePlus 6 is still rocking

[–] Barometer3689@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

iPhone 8, I have been surprised by how long it has lasted so far. Still gets security updates every now and then.

Next phone is probably going to be a fairphone.

Original iPhone SE. still receiving security updates, and the perfect size for my hand. I hate the trend towards phablets.

[–] RobotDaniel@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

Liking my pixel 4a but still using stock :(. Should get round to installing graphene os

[–] Mostly_Harmless@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (8 children)

iphone. They're solid and they get updates forever so there is no rush to upgrade. I don't miss Android and not getting updates 6 months after I buy the phone.

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (5 children)

Well then you’re already unreliable and hyperbolic for giving advice as Android do in fact get updates well after 6 months. And no one can assure ‘forever’. Not even apple. I’ve had iPads complain they can’t be updated and force to go buy a new one.
