Moi? I use currently a NOTE 20 ultra 5g. Probably my second best phone, I only hate the fact it’s so massive (I miss being able to use just a hand for my phone) and the mediocre battery life for someone like me that watches a lot of videos. But the S pen is so handy those few times you need it.
Probably 1+ 6t (that’s before it was merged). No bloat nice phone.
Or my old BlackBerry before they stopped bothering to test anything and rested on their laurels. I miss the one place portal everything posted its notifications etc. Android is awful for that.
I like my Pixel 7 Pro (current phone) but I have to have a launcher on it because their home screen sucks.
Currently using a OnePlus 9 Pro. Best phone I’ve used? The OnePlus 5t, hands down. Slightly wider aspect ratio in portrait orientation, great screen, camera and fingerprint reader for its day and fantastic 3rd party ROM selection.
Seconded! My 5T was the best phone I’ve ever carried. I carry the OP11 5G these days and I’ve been really happy with it, but overall I prefer the size and weight of the 5T.
I miss the Nexus 6. I loved the large comfortable display and dual front-firing speakers. It does not have modern pros like a fingerprint reader, USB C, or a recent processor. But it also doesn’t have modern cons like an obstructive front camera, 9:18/20 display, or curved glass.
iPhone SE. I would use a smaller model of iPhone, if there was one. I need a phone I can easily take with me, not some aircraft-carrier sized high-tech device ;)
S8+ I thought was the best one that I had till I upgraded
Redmi Note 11
Nokia N-Gage
The best phone was probably a landline that was shaped like a duck.
It quacked when you had an incoming call.Pixel 2 XL was my favorite phone and still works. I’m still on a Pixel 5 because of the physical fingerprint sensor
On an iphone 13 mini because it’s just about the last reasonably-sized smartphone left even though ios has tons of little quirks that annoy me. Favorite was probably the OG Pixel I had until like 2020 when it finally died, RIP
iPhone 12 Mini. I loved my 5S and first gen SE and I still can’t understand why phone manufacturers these days insist on making tablets and calling them phones. I just want something that fits in my pocket. I would probably have switched to Android years ago but I haven’t found a single Android phone with a small form factor, decent performance and decent camera.
12 mini for me too, for the same reason. Hopefully the trend will reverse and smaller phones will become more popular.
Pixel 6a. Changed the OS to GrapheneOS. This is the best phone I’ve owned.
My good condition used 7 pro is arriving tomorrow and I plan on doing the same.
Would this be an overly complex process for those with only some tinkering experience (e.g., I’ve got Linux on my laptop and have a general sense of how terminal/tilix works)? I’ve read the docs but can’t get a sense of the complexity
GrapheneOS is by far the simplest experience I have ever had with flashing a custom ROM over the years. The web installer is very straightforward.
Awesome, thanks so much! I’ll bump this into the projects list 😁
Considering the state of the phones back then my 1+ 3t was amazing. No bloat, dirt cheap. A real flagship killer, as they positioned it.
These days I only require a phone to have fast charge like OnePlus or Oppo delivers it. 15 minutes charge for a full day of use. That’s awesome. I can never go back to iOS because I’m so used to my custom keyboard and the gestures I use for quick acces to apps and other stuff.
Pixel 8 with GrapheneOS
cheapest. there hasnt been an innovation since they added bluetooth i care or need.
my phone is [generally] not used for content consumption, i have real machines for that.
Like your mouth and stomach?
What a beautiful pussy you are you are, what a beautiful pussy you are
The OnePlus 7t back when it was on oxygen os 10. Great hardware, perfect software. It was the first phone I got where I didn’t need or want to flash a custom rom. Unfortunately, every software update that it got since then felt like a downgrad. After oxygen os 10, oxygen os and Oppo’s color os have been going through something of a merge. The result is that oxygen os is no longer as stock-like as it used to be and lots of small convenience features have disappeared in favor of flashy yet useless-to-me features. I have an 8t now and it’s fine but I don’t think that I’ll get another OnePlus.
