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 use a pixel 8. If you care about security or privacy, GrapheneOS simply has no substitute.

    Battery life lasts about a day and a half. Performance is solid, camera is solid, and it has an AMOLED for active display.

        Very understandable. My 8 was $550, but honestly I think it’s overkill in some ways. I’d like to see what concessions are made on the 8a.
