What is everyone’s daily driver right now?

I’m currently rocking a pixel 6a but can’t shake an itching desire for an s23

      I moved from the Note to a Pixel 1 and haven’t looked back. I kept the Pixel 1 until it would not turn on anymore. I just feel in love with the simple clean Android install. After that I got a Pixel 4XL and a few months later my wife finally gave in and I got her a Pixel 5.

      A couple of months ago my wife dropped her 5 and just cracked the shit out of her screen. So I ordered her a Pixel 7, which she loves. Unfortunately not even a week later my Pixel 4 XL died. It won’t hold a charge without being plugged in. I didn’t want to spring for two new phones so close together, so I grabbed my wife’s old S8. I couldn’t take it. All the stupid Samsung specific apps. The inability to remove Facebook or Bigsby drove me nuts. I ended up just using her Pixel 5, broken screen and all over the S8. Hoping to get enough cash to order a 7 pro for myself soon.

      I’ll be sure to let everyone know when I do order a 7, because of history repeats itself like with my last two Pixel purchases, the Pixel 8 will be announced the next day.

      I imported an Xperia 10 IV about a month after launch. It’s a brilliant form factor, but I’m very sad that it doesn’t look like sailfish will ever arrive for it.

      Nevertheless, I’m glad I bought it - and like you say, the headphone jack gets used frequently enough that you’d miss it if it wasn’t there.

        Where did you import your Xperia from? I got myself pretty sold on getting one but totally forgot that Sony don’t sell phones in Aus anymore. Such a shame. I really want an sd card slot & headphone jack.

    Droid 4. Love that keyboard. It barely functions as a cell device now that 3g has been shut down though. I just use it as a wifi device / tiny laptop.

    Razer Phone 2. I probably should get something newer, but I need something rootable at a bare minimum, and preferably not Samsung.

    I have an S23. I really enjoy it, but I’m also curious about the Zenfone 10. I really wanna see Asus succeed in their niche so I can have a great option next time around I get to upgrading.

    Pixel 6a - was happily using a Pixel 5a for the past ~2 years until it had a spontaneous motherboard failure 3 weeks ago 🙃. Google replaced it with a 6a, I’m still annoyed the 5a can become a brick with no warning but I’m very happy with the 6a so far and plan to stick with it until the OS updates stop.

    Redmi K30 Pro. Love the pop up camera and the full screen display with no stupid notch or hole punch. Have no plans to replace it any time soon since I just replaced the battery and everything else is still good as new.

        Currently running the Xiaomi.eu version of MIUI. Had SparkOS on it for a while a few months ago. Like them both for different reasons, and may go back to Spark at some point in the future.

      What do you think of it? I’m currently on an old note 9. I’d like a better camera but struggling to part with the SD card slot and 3.5mm jack. I like having my music with me and have a lot of wired headphones 😃

        I love it, it’s definitely my favorite phone I’ve ever had. Battery life is good for me, screen is sharp and it runs smooth, pictures have always turned out great. I used to work for Samsung so I had their phones and they’re great but I am definitely sold on the Pixel line. Enough to spend the amount to try the Fold.

    Love my Oneplus 6t. Been the best phone for custom Roms. Currently running /e/OS, no Gapps, clean and sleek.
