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.)

My current phone:

  • Xiaomi POCO X4 Pro
  • Android 12
  • MIUI 13.0.4

I'm quite satified with it(UI is improved with custom launcher), minor hitch is accelerated battery drainage (came with 2+ years of use).

Previous phones: POCO F1, ULEFONE S1, Nokia Lumia 520, Sony Xperia Go, ... Loved my Go, ulefone was definately worst of bunch.

My upgrades are attached to battery health and/or OS upgrades support from manifacturer. My upgrade track to current phone is about 3 years.

I'm Android and Windows all the way.
