So, I thought I'd kick things off here with some community building.

Quote this post with answers to the below!

What phone are you using?

Are you happy with it? What are its best and worst qualities?

Which phones have you had previously? Which were the best and worst of the lot?

How often do you upgrade to a new phone?

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

Do you also use any Apple products, or are you Android all the way? (And/or Windows, Linux, ChromeOS, etc.)

I use an LG V60 and I love it. It's super powerful, it's got great battery life, and really good headphone audio quality. That also means it still has a headphone jack, and it also has a micro SD card slot, despite the 95GB worth of storage space after system files.

My last phone was the LG V30 and I had it for like 5 years. I was dreading the upgrade cause I loved it so much, but it was having signal issues and didn't have 5g. Turns out it was very worth it. Especially because you can get the V60 super cheap refurbished. Warranty will probably be an issue, but I do my own repairs anyway so I'm not worried about it personally.

I will keep this phone as long as it continues working. Hoping to get at least 5 years out of it, and if anything breaks that I can't repair, I'd sooner buy another V60 than upgrade. RIP LG, they made the best phones.

I used an iPhone back when they were jailbreak-able. When that started getting more difficult/infrequent to jailbreak I got an LG V20 as my first android phone. iPhones seem mostly fine now days. Biggest downside for me is no adblock plugins on other browsers for iOS, as far as I know.

The only other android phone I've used consistently is the Samsung Galaxy A32 5G, and it is a pretty terrible phone in my experience. That is my work phone, and it is very slow. Sometimes to the point that it just locks up entirely. I guess between the Samsung bloat, and the VoIP app that's always running for work, it's just too much for it. I'm sure there are some good Samsung phones, but that is not one of them.
