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.)

I am using a Pixel 2 XL running LineageOS 19. I have the 128GB storage model, and the RGB LED for notifications and charging status are useful.

I used to have a Pixel 3 64GB, but it fell victim to the EDL bricking issue. I bought the Pixel 2 XL after that and its been working great.

I don't have any "ecosystem" devices as I don't want to be bound to one workflow.

The only Apple product I have are Earpods and the USB-C to 3.5mm jack adapter. They are the best non-IEM-type earbuds I've used.

Pixel 2XL user also. I just don't have a justification to buy another phone yet.
