RULES

While this is s community focused on Android, some of us have devices from the Android, Apple, Windows and Linux worlds, etc. We may prefer Android, but overzealous and obsessive adherence to Android as some sort of infallible platform won't be tolerated long here.

That said, being critical of brands is fine. Android is frustrating in some ways, just like iOS and so forth. Let's be upfront about that.

Be thoughtful and helpful, even with 'stupid' questions. Otherwise, as ya mama said, say nothing at all. The world won't be made better or worse by snarky dudes schooling naive newcomers on Lemmy.

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.)

Oppo FindX 5 Pro. Really good phone, I highly recommend it. Main positives are a clean OS, quality camera and bloody great charging speeds (like 1-100 in 20-30 minutes). I've been using it since launch and it's still perfectly good, and the screen is fairly resistant to scratches and breaks as I'm not the best with phones and don't use a screen protector.

Battery life is definitely the biggest issue, I struggle for long use days on it without charging it, but with the charging being so quick it's not too bad unless you're outside and don't have access to a plug socket.

I got a few things with it (headphone, wireless charger and a smart watch) but don't use any of it. Headphones were fine but I lost one of the buds, the Smart Watch and wireless charger didn't feel particularly useful for me, I prefer a normal watch and the wireless charging is so slow.
