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’m using a Google Pixel 6a.

    I am very happy with it. Price makes it unmatched in my eyes, although the battery could be better.

    Before this I had a Pixel 4XL which had awful battery life, but was still a major upgrade from my old Samsung galaxy S3. I have only upgraded because I’ve got a “problem reading your battery error” and replacing the battery didnt solve it.

    I very very rarely upgrade and just use custom ROMS to expand the life of each of my old phones, building my own ROMs in necessary.

    For everything else, I’m a ThinkPad T480 guy running Debian or Ubuntu. That being said I use a MacBook for work and she runs beautifully.

      My kids and I all have 6a’s too. The trade in deal Google had last year was just too good to pass up - I traded their 4a’s and my 3A xl and paid like… $450 out for 3 brand new phones plus 3 sets of head phones. I just couldn’t say no.

      The only things i can say bad about them is that I wish they had wireless charging and I miss the physical finger scanners on the backs of the old phones for unlocking… The front ones just don’t compare.
