Pixel 6 and Grapheneos :)

• Both me and my wife have a Google Pixel 6 as our daily driver
• My youngest son has a Galaxy Tab S6 tablet for games and YouTube.
• My eldest used to have a Google Pixel 5a, but after he switched to an iPhone it's just sitting in a shelf as a backup phone just in case.
• I have an Nvidia Shield TV (2019) in my living room as the streaming box.

I love the customization and flexibility Android gives me. Also I can always unlock the phones and flash whatever 3rd-party OS I want. We're pretty content with the Pixels, but the tablet barely receives any updates anymore. Also fucking Apple's moronic green bubble vs blue bubble bullshit makes sharing photos and videos with family a needlessly complicated chore. I don't want to get off on a rant, but how has nobody taken them to court yet over this purposeful degradation of quality coming from competitors' hardware?!

Samsung Galaxy A51 5G. Had it for a few years and it works great, just wish it had more internal storage.

Android device

• LG v30 ThinQ

Likes

• LineageOS support
• Dual SIM
• SD card slot
• headphone jack
• USB C
• FM radio
• no notch/hole punch
• wireless charging

Dislike

• battery doesn't last as long as it used to due to age
• non-removable battery
• some camera hiccups from LineageOS

The phone works well for everything I need it to do (web browsing, messaging, some light emulation, quick downloads) but it doesn't handle 3d games too well (tried Genshin and it was unbearable). Currently looking for a future replacement for when the battery issues become worse. Might go for one of the Xperia but the prices are a bit too much.

Galaxy s21 (the smallest model)

I love that its not gigantic

I dislike the fingerprint reader. I prefer the one on the rear of the phone, like my previous phone had

Rocking a Pixel 7 and a Galaxy Watch5.

Loving my Pixel in general and have loved them, mostly, since the 2XL. The Pixel features, like call screening, are useful. Plus it has a great camera. The Watch5 is just a generally nice smart watch, with smooth operation.

I dislike how slippery the Pixel is. I'm otherwise neutral on everything else. The Watch5 has too much Samsung bloat.

Samsung galaxy s21+ as my phone

I got it back at release when they let people stack discounts (paid like 40% the cost of the device). It's still fast enough for everything, a good size, I also got the care plus option with it so swapped to a brand new one earlier this year, want to get another 2 years out of it.

I also have a galaxy tab s6, but haven't ended up using it as much as I thought I would over the years.

This got me wondering what I'm using ... apparently it's a Moto G5s with Android 7?

I like it because it didn't come loaded with extra software, it was cheap (80€ in 2019) and it's got a nice camera. In a few years I might think about replacing it, in which case I'd like something a bit smaller.

I've got a tablet too, which is a Lenovo that fell off the back of a lorry in Hungary and my MIL bought it for me for the equivalent of 30€. It works well too, I think it's got Android 8 on it.

Pixel Fold!

It's everything I need in a foldable with the sweet sweet software from Pixel.

Only thing that sucks is the cost. Definitely for the enthusiast

Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro). I honestly only really got it because it had a wild discount on AliExpress back in 2020 and wanted to give MIUI a try. However since then I've put TWRP and a custom ROM on it (MIUI isn't terrible but it seems to kill apps far too much and I'm not big on the ads within the actual OS).

I continue to use it because it still performs great and the battery life is pretty good (usually get about 2 days charge on it), and the custom ROM community around it is pretty reliable too. Plus it has a pop up camera so I definitely know when my phone is trying to look at me.

Not really found much to dislike to be honest, though I guess the camera could be a bit better. It's definitely helped along with good software though (especially either GCam or the MIUI camera).

Pixel 7a

Vanilla Androie experience, fast updates and I like the visor astetic

Would love faster wireless charging

• Pixel 7 Pro
• The responsiveness vs. my previous phone (Pixel 3a).
• I miss having a headphone jack.

Right now I'm using a pink S21 unlocked and I love it.

The theming system on Samsung is one of my favourite things and I don't know why Google hasn't co-opted it.

The only thing I wish it had was a more flexible One UI launcher that's closer to Nova.

Fairphone 4. What I like about it is it's modularity and the fact that you can find spare parts for it on the official store, to order.

What I dislike about it is it's thickness and weight

Using: Motorola Edge + 2022

Likes: Most of all price point. But more importantly what you get with it: wireless charging, 5G support, OLED, awesome battery life, Finger print sensor in the frame, decent camera, un-bloated OS, very useful gestures support. Honestly it's the best device I've used out of the box so far. Had Pixels and Samsung's in the past.

Dislikes: not many. Camera can be better especially in low light. Sometimes need to restart Bluetooth because it fails to connect to my watch.

Pixel 7. When I got it, it updated it and then flashed calyx :)

I got a pixel, because they are some of the easiest to flash. I strongly considered a fairphone 4, but the 60hz screen was a dealbreaker for me.

What I like: the boost in nits and better battery. I don't seem to notice much difference in the photo department.

What I dislike: coming from a pixel 4, the pixel 7 is quite large.

• Pixel 7 Pro
• GrapheneOS
• 5 x camera auto focus is trash

• Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4
• The Screen(s)
• App support

Lava t81n

Xiaomi Mi 10T 5G

I love that it has open boot loader so I installed Lineage OS

I hate that it does not have second display support

@Curated_Android Samsung A52 5G. Solid phone for the price.

Oppo A54 5G with the associated Oppo Watch.

I like mostly that it's an decent affordable 5G phone that came with a smartwatch on my contract.

What I don't like is its tendency to overheat when the hotspot is on. The specific one I've had has had problems with its charger, but I'm not sure if that's a general thing or a misuse thing or what. My watch also has a tendency to reset and erase itself if you look at it funny.

Overall rating: 3/5 (1/5 being the Doogee I had once that had adware integrated into the OS).

Galaxy Note 10+ 5G and Waydroid. Might go for a Pixel in the future, idk - not overly happy with my current phone. I love my old Note and wish I could go back to it.

Waydroid is there so I can have Apple Music for Android running on my Linux rig.

Xiaomi Redmi K40 Gaming. I like the shoulder buttons for gaming but dislike MIUI bloatware.

Pixel 7 Pro and a Samsung Gear S3 watch (that I hope to upgrade to Galaxy 6 Classic)
The only thing I really miss about my samsung phones (s4, s8, s10e) is that the screen was a whole lot brighter (could see just fine at 50% brightness most of the time, whereas my Pixel requires it to be 80 and up) and that while I prefer dark themes, I really don't like the 'white print on black' because the contrast bothers me. Samsung Themes had all kinds of different colors. Also the size was a lot to get used to, but thats common on just about all flagships now

Pixel 7 for app development

Currently using Pixel 6a

Likes Price to features especially with the high trade in value of a pixel 3a

Dislikes Fingerprint reader doesn't work with a glass screen protector

Cell phone reception seems weaker than it should be.

first phone: pink Samsung that 100% didn't run android second phone: Samsung galaxy Y third phone: samsung galaxy j series phone 2015-2017 relase date mabye current: samsung galaxy a32 future: google pixel running calyx os
