Pixel 9a running grapheneOS. It's pretty good, no complaints. I even dropped it a couple times and it's still in one piece.
Same
Got a 9 pro, already forgot what the differences are 😅 I really wish it was smaller, my previous phone was an iPhone 13 Mini and I really miss how convenient the size was...
Fairphone 6 with e/os
Pixel 8a with GrapheneOS. Considering getting a secondary older one to run postmarketOS.
Currently using a Pixel 7. Not sure what I'm going to do in a few months when Google locks the OS down. Probably, I'll finally have to get around to seriously investigating Graphene :(
I currently figure my next phone will be either another Motorola (my Moto X was favorite phone ever) or something by Fairphone. More likely, Fairphone. Motorola hasn't really appealed to me since Google carved all the interesting tech patents out them and discarded the rest of the company. I suppose it depends on whether I like Graphene and whether Motorola follows through with their promise to support it. Anyway, I'll cross that bridge when my 7 dies.
You really can't go wrong with GrapheneOS. You can use it completly degoogled, or you can install all the google crap and it still is more private oriented than any other Android phone, because GrapheneOS sandboxes the google crap.
Using a Pixel and not using GrapheneOS is the worst of all the worlds.
Pixel 9 Pro XL.
I like the OS. Pretty good camera. Amazing management of spam calls, I literally do not get any.
I had the 8A and I can agree with you On the spam call thing. I also like sideloaded apps. I’ll miss that.

Unihertz Titan 2. Great conversation starter :) I needed to rethink my relationship to smartphone and move away from doomscrolling. The drastic change in form factor helped a lot while maintaining the possibilities open (it's no dumb phone). It doesn't have support for custom firmwares / OS sadly, but it's possible to debloat and work around limitations
Fairphone 3+ with LineageOS
A pixel that a wonderful friend gifted me so that I could have a device with graphene.
Going against the stream here as another iPhone user, iPhone 16.
The peer pressure is real
Nothing with AI forcefully integrated. That seems like an obvious dividing point.
The only one with a removable battery and a headphone jack.
Had a Pixel 8a and dropped it today. Got $360 for a trade in and now pay $9 less a month for the iPhone 17e.
I will miss ad block on Firefox, but will enjoy FaceTime and iMessages
there's a new browser called Reynard which is a full Firefox (Gecko) fork for iOS, also supports uBlock Origin.
Not on the appstore but you can still install it without jailbreaking. (in fact, it's impossible to jailbreak that phone atm..)
You can add extensions to safari including adguard

Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra. I'm switching to a Fairphone when Google locks Android.
Pixel 6a running Graphene. Considering getting a 10... or until this phone completely breaks. Advices/recs are welcome btw!
I upgraded from a 6 Pro to a 9 Pro when that came out and honestly, I'd be still fine using my 6 Pro. It's not that much of a performance jump if you ignore the cameras.
Looks like the Pixel 6 range is still in support for at least another year.
S10.
- 3.5mm jack
- qi
- reverse qi
Beautiful.
Oneplus 11.
CMF Phone 1. Pretty basic in 2026, but it does everything I need it to. I'd like to get a Fairphone in the future (or maybe a Linux one), but hopefully this phone will keep me going for another few years.
The phone I have plays Balatro perfectly, which is about as intensive an app/game as I ever use on mobile. I'm glued to my PC all day every day so the only time I need my phone is when I'm taking a dump or going to bed.
My brother is a gadget-head, the phone he has now is one of those crazy folding ones that can become phone-sized or spread out to be a small tablet. There's no ballsack seam at the fold point, unlike with earlier models. Pretty kewl. Nothing I'd ever need, though.
I have a pixel 6 pro and will continue using it until I can't anymore. My next phone won't be a google nor apple one, but I don't know what I want (edit: I'm also not keen on Samsung).
I don't want a dumbphone (I use maps for navigation and frequently look up things to do when traveling and the like), but it needs felica support and to work with Japanese government apps (as well as transportation cards, though Japan may eventually finally roll out tapping a normal credit/debit card by the time my phone gives up the ghost).
I have very few complaints with the phone itself now (there were issues around launch and that persisted quite a while), but I'm also slowly (mostly) de-googling my life.

A moto G42 with LineageOS. I buy used phones for about 200€ every 3 years and I am super happy with those.
Slop phone is Unihertz Jellystar. Only used for govt apps and banks. Main phone is OnePlus 6 with Iode OS (Lineage)
Pixel 7
Unfortunately the support period is ending next fall, so I'm looking at either a pixel 11 once the 12 comes out or the new Motorola phones with the Graphene collab
Pixel 10 Pro XL running GrapheneOS. Very glad to have switched, but the OS is kind of bare bones. I previously had a Samsung and miss having some of the features that OneUI had (such as notification reminders and the sound picker).
Pixel 8, stock rom.
I planned to get the Pixel 10 Pro but Google had to ruin a good thing and remove the NanoSIM slot only in the US.
I haven't been able to source an international one from anywhere so I'm just sticking with this until the Motorola Graphene phone launches.
I have a Pixel 8 Pro and an iPhone 13 Mini
I have an iPhone 13 as my phone
I also have a cheap ZTE Blade that I turned into an mp3 player because it has a microSD card slot. I just removed every app I could, installed Musicolet, and loaded a card with a lot of the music I have on my pc.
It doesn’t connect to any cell network and rarely do I connect it to my wifi. I’ve been looking for some kind of schematics so I can disconnect anything that could connect to a cell network and I’d also like to disconnect the microphone and camera too. I just want it to work as an mp3 player with an expandable card slot and only go online if I choose to connect to wifi.
Pixel 7 Pro running Graphene
Pixel 10
iPhone 12 from 2020 and a surface pro 3 from 2013(?)
