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.
I have a pixel 6 pro, but I wouldn’t recommend it. You’d think Google is capable of providing a perfect Android experience, but my old Note 9 was way less buggy.
I’ve had lots of issues with 3rd party launchers (nova), I can’t even use the USBC with a dongle and second screen (my old Note could do this without issues). Also this is my first phone without headphone jack and SD slot, both I really miss. Just in general the software (especially in the beginning) felt really buggy with small glitches etc.
I don’t think I’ll ever go pixel again.
The pixel six was not good. I use a pixel 7a and it solved a lot of the issues the 6 had. Also the pixel 8 is doing good in reviews.
I chose a Moto G Stylus 5G (2022) over a Pixel 6a at the exact same price due to the reliability issues of the Pixel.
I disagree, I’ve been using a pixel 6 for about 2 years with zero issues.
You can disagree all you want. The pixel six had many issues that are well cataloged. I’m happy you haven’t experienced any of those issues yourself but a great many people did.
