Pixel 7 Pro.

I’m generally happy with it, but the battery has been rather bad in that I have issues getting a full day out of it. I’ve also finding overheating issues when in 80+ degree F weather.

I have a Pixel 4a because I refuse to spend more than $200 on a phone. The battery is starting to not last very long so either I am going to replace the battery or get a Pixel 6a for $200. I’d really prefer to not need a new phone because I like the headphone jack.

Pixel 7 Pro w/GrapheneOS. Being able to control what my phone is sending or not sending + the battery life gain from everything not phoning home is amazing.

Samsung galaxy S21. I really enjoy it and has worked perfectly. I like Samsung rendition of Android, I feel like it gives me a larger overview of settings and so forth. I’ve had an iphone 6 and Huawei Mate 20 lite. My problem with the iphone was that i didn’t really understand it, and the app library was limited. The Huawei became slow fast, but that might just be because of it being the lite edition. In edition to the Samsung S21 i also own a Samsung galaxy watch 5 and a pair Samsung buds 2. Both these works great, and i really enjoy Samsungs health app wich is how the watch connects to the phone. The buds are even compatible with my windows computer :)

What phone are you using?

I’m using a Samsung Galaxy Fold 4. My phone service provider upgraded it from a Fold 3 because the plastic screen protector on the inside screen was peeling off from the center.

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

Yes, I’m happy with this phone, or else I wouldn’t be using it. I love that it’s a small phone, and when I want a device with a bigger screen, I can just open it up.

The worst part of this phone has already happened: the screen protector (or something) separated from the screen. I changed my phone to an iPhone when I went to a trip with snow, but I somehow still got problems with the screen using the phone in a tropical place. I don’t know if it’s because the screen has thin glass, or something else, but folding phones aren’t as durable as their slab counterparts.

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

I had several Samsung Galaxy phones, starting from the S1 to every other phone (I think S3, S5, S6 Edge, Note 8, S10+, Fold 3, Fold 4, S23+, Asus Zenfone 9 and Google Pixel 6. The latter four phones are the ones I currently switch between when I feel like it, but my main phone is the Fold 4.

How often do you upgrade to a new phone?

I try to upgrade my phone every two years, but the pandemic changed something in me and I recently went on a phone purchasing spree (hence the recent phones with the same SoC in a generation).

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

I have a Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 (as my bed tablet) and Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra as my main Youtube viewer/laptop.

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

I have a 2019 Apple Macbook Pro 16" laptop, a 13" 2015 Macbook Air with an upgraded 1TB of storage, and an iPhone 13 Pro Max with 1TB of storage.

For my desktop computer, gaming laptop and a 2-in-1 laptop, I use Windows 10. I’ve been using Windows OSes since the 3.1 days, so I guess I’m used to how the Windows OS works.

I try to dip my toes in every ecosystem there is, since I’m a geek, but I don’t like Apple’s locked down ecosystem. There’s days I’ll swap my SIM card to my iPhone to see what Apple is doing nowadays, but the last time I did that was earlier this year.

Just made the change to a Pixel 6a from my really old Samsung Galaxy.

My only requirement was about size. I wanted something “smaller”, first I thought about going with a newer Samsung from their mid-range ‘A’ category, but after seeing how big those things were, I decided to look outside the Samsung ecosystem.

I discovered GrapheneOS and as an open-source enthusiast, I really liked the idea. The professionalism of the dev team and the bloat free aspect of the OS made me get a Pixel.

The size is not that bad, but I wish it would be a bit smaller. So far I’m really liking it. I love the camera of this thing (even without GCam). The physical button placement was a bit weird for me at first, but I’ve gotten used to it.

I usually abuse my phones till they die, so I was looking for something that would last and I really think that I will be able to go for 5 years with this phone without an issue.

Currently using an LG Wing

I’m really happy with it and the only thing I don’t like is that there will probably never be another phone like it. It’s a nice change of pace from the same boring smartphone designs we’ve seen the last 5 years or so.

I started with an iPhone 3G, then Galaxy S2 and then the first phone I bought myself was the Galaxy S4 which I flashed LineageOS on. After that I had two more iPhones again before getting sick of Apple’s shenanigans and switching to Android.

I usually upgrade my phone every 3 years or so. The Galaxy S4 I had the longest at over 4 years.

I also have an Android E-Reader from Onyx and a Redmi Note 10 Pro with an AOSP ROM mostly used for development purposes.

I used to also own an iPad but I sold it and now don’t own any Apple products and never plan on doing so again.

OnePlus 9 Pro. Despite Reddit deciding that it’s a bad phone because OnePlus bad or some such, I’m actually super satisfied with it.

Samsung Fold 4. I like it a lot, but it’s already been through 2 warranty repairs, and my warranty is up next month. Never before have I regretted not opting for an extended warranty as much as with this phone. These things just break from regular every day usage. After using the phone, I would really miss the screen real estate if I decided to go back to a regular candy bar shaped phone. But seeing as how prone they are to breaking means I think I pretty much have no choice.

Pixel 6 Pro I’m happy with it, but looking forward to the next upgrade too. The size is slightly larger than I’d like, and I think they oversold the telephoto lens. Regular pictures are great, performance is good, battery life works for me. I usually upgrade every 3 years or so. My first phone was one of the Nokia candy bar free phones that came with a contract. I had Blackberries through work for years and thought they were cool at the time, switched to iPhones when those were new, then the Nexus and Pixel lines from Google. I usually use Android and Windows, but I’ve been thinking about getting some sort of Apple laptop.

What phone are you using? Huawei P50 Pro

Are you happy with it? What are its best and worst qualities? Absolutely love the phone, I’m not big on voice assistants or ecosystems so I don’t need Google to be connected across all devices and have everything linked together.

As a phone it started out rough, loss of connection very frequently, dropping calls every day. After a few months these issues resolved on there own, which may have been a carrier issue and not the phone itself. Browsing and interacting with it is seamless, games run fast, apps rarely shutdown. The Camera is spectacular, the only rival is my gfs Iphone 13 but both are amazing. The only limiting factor is small amount of unavailable apps due to the lack G.P.S. but I’m not effected I just go to the mobile site instead.

Which phones have you had previously? Which were the best and worst of the lot? Huawei Nexus 6P Huawei P20 Pro

How often do you upgrade to a new phone? Every 3 - 4 years

What other Android ecosystem devices do you have? Watches, headphones/earbuds, etc. Not sure if they count but I have a TicWatch Pro 3 and EVA Earbuds

Do you also use any Apple products, or are you Android all the way? (And/or Windows, Linux, ChromeOS, etc.) Nope, no apple for me, Windows 10.

I’m currently running the Pixel 6 Pro with Graphine OS.

Worst thing about this phone is the curved display. Everything else is good enough for me, which is saying a lot. I’ve had many phones over years and only a few have really been awesome.

In no particular order:

• HTC EVO Shift, EVO 4G LTE, EVO 3D
• Some ZTE Phone with android 2.2
• Oneplus One, 3T, 6T
• Pixel 4, Pixel 6 Pro
• Nexus 4, 5, 5x, 7
• iPhone 4, SE, 7, 12

Edit: format and a device

OnePlus 7 Pro. I’ve had it for 4 years. Previously had a OnePlusOne and 5 I like their phones but will probably move to a Pixel next. I’m not in any rush given that my phone is working perfectly fine. I wouldn’t want another curved screen since I like using glass screen protectors. Charging is great. Almost 80% in 15 minutes I have a Samsung S6 tablet too and I really like it. Im all Windows and Android.
