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’ve had a few. The OnePlus line has been, IIRC, notable for charging quickly relative to competitors, though I don’t know whether things have evened out since then.

      Second the OnePlus 5! I moved to the OnePlus 10 Pro for security updates and it’s great. Battery life is worse though, I hear the 12 isn’t as bad in that respect. Still have the fastest charging on the market though!

        Currently on a 12 I got 6(?) Months ago. It’s been pretty fantastic on the battery front. 2 long trips and I never worried about it dying because I only needed to charge it every other day or so even with doing things like playing Monster Hunter Now.
