Galaxy S23, because I use Android for 13 years now (no Apple devices for me) and it is one of the few smaller devices. Also great battery life, performance (finally Snapdragon in Europe) and very long update support.

I have a Poco x3 NFC because it's cheap for the hardware it delivers and I have no money to buy a Pixel Phone ..it runs Lineage OS with microg to degoogle it

Galaxy S23+ here, had the S10 and S7 before that. Great cameras (it matters to me) and very durable phones once you put them in a good case. The S23+ is easier on my old eyes and I easily get 3+ days battery life out of it. Samsung has also done a nice job slimming down the UI but I use the Nova launcher anyway.

Stock Android, Galaxy S21.

I wanted a smaller footprint phone with wireless charging, if not for the last part I'd go for Asus Zenfone 8.

I'm planning to switch to Zenfone 10 when it comes out this summer.

s8+ cuz i loved the curves, /e/OS cuz that was the only one fully functional with my model

I've got this Huawei P20 lite since 2018 and it's the best phone I've owned. Still rock solid. Unfortunately it's android 9 and OS updates stopped being rolled out in 2022.

If I could I would buy a Huawei again, but it's kind of out of market here. I'm evaluating something from the same manufacturing chain (Honor phones I believe?)

Google Pixel 7 Pro with Google's Android. I've always used Nexus and Pixel phones because on my daily driver I want the stock Android experience with no vendor skins or bloatware, as well as regular system updates and security patches.

Poco X3 pro with stock because it is a lot of phone for the money.

Bought it to install Lineageos, then never got round to it.

Plain old Android on a Samsung galaxy A-series.

I'm on Android partially out of familiarity - my first smartphone was a Samsung - but also because I like options! Let me theme it, let me use other app stores, let me install a custom OS if I feel like trying! (Mind you, I've also bricked an old phone but that was choice to try and fail miserably.)

Moto g32. Wanted something as stock rom as possible, with headphone jack, reasonable camera, somewhat decent battery life and horsepower under the hood at a decent price (less than $200).

I'm looking for XDA guys to develop a lineageOS rom for this phone, and it will be my "I'm at home" of phone.

Pixel4a running CalyxOS

Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ 5G, I've been a fan of the Note series for a while when I was at university, and 5G was shiny and new so I went and got that. Android is/was my bread and butter there, I like the flexibility the Play Store has compared to the iOS App Store (i.e. I can have RetroArch)

I don't really use the Note features as much now and 5G is a bit useless for me right now, and I have a Steam Deck so emulation isn't really a thing I do on my phone. I might go iPhone in the future for that reason.

I got an S20FE because the screen on my s8+ was smashed to hell. I like the size, flat screen, it was relatively cheap at the time ~$500, it has expandable storage, a high end chipset, and 120hz screen. Overall, I love this phone, have no regrets buying it. Hoping I can hold onto it for a few more years haha

using galaxy note 20. I upgraded to this from a note 9. once I started using the stylus I can't go back now. also can't really upgrade to anything because nothing takes an SD card anymore. maybe there will be a leap in phone case technology that incorporates SD readers in the case and I can feel comfortable getting a new phone in a year or two.

Xiaomi Mi10 Lite with stock firmware. Xiaomi QIN22F as a second phone. I've tried some third-party Android variations, but none of them, including LineageOS, I liked to use. Or rather I liked LineageOS when it was still CyanogwenMod, and then, as usual, everything went wrong.

Fairphone 4 because I like the idea of a repairable, sustainable phone. Microg LineageOS because want to avoid google as much as I can (within reason).

Nice!

I run a oneplus one, with lineageOS 18 and magisk. I am able to do banking, UPI(a quick form of banking in my country), document management(digilocker, for official govt issued documents), social media, etc.

It's slow sometimes but if you can ensure it doesn't heat up, it's a really good setup.

It's a hand-me-down, one of the best handmedowns anyone could want

Poco F2 Pro (lmi) with the custom ROM Paranoid Android CAF based A13.

I liked MIUI, but nothing beats the Pixel like experience!

Motorola One 5G Ace.

Every time I've had to get a new phone, I've gone on GSMArena and to me it always seems Motorola's midranges have the best bang for your buck, at least in my price range. I kinda don't like how they promised Android 12 and didn't deliver, but I've heard some things that make me think that's a blessing in disguise. Even if I could go iPhone, I wouldn't, I like having control that Apple won't allow me. I probably wouldn't go more expensive if I could either (there's a part of me that wants a Razr for coolness reasons, but I know foldables are still super fragile)

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.

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.
