Android

I personally have no loyalties and will go wherever the good deals and specs are! That's currently with the S23 Ultra thanks to a ridiculously good trade-in promo, but I've previously used LG, Sony, OnePlus, Motorola, Nexus, Pixel, and HTC devices. With that said, I also don't often feel as much of a need to upgrade anymore, unless someone in the family needs a hand-me-down.

There's really no real reason to stay loyal to a brand when you're using Android. If you like a particular OEM's UI or a feature they provide, good for you! If not, then there's literally no reason not to switch brands. It's not like your apps won't work or your contacts won't move over.

Loyal to Pixel line because Google has me wrapped around their finger. I love them though

I'm loyal to my wallet

With the demise of SD slots in high end phones, I'm mostly 'stuck' with Samsung, since I want at least 512gb device storage and few manufacturers offer that much. Also, while still far from perfect, DeX is rather nice to have

I don't care about brands because I have a set list of requirements and I'd not have found a new phone if I'd stuck to my first brand.

I'm loyal to good products.

For a while I was a bit of a OnePlus "fanboy". The OnePlus One was an amazing phone for someone like me. I liked it so much that at one point everyone at home had one (4 in total). It was much better and cheaper than anything we had used until that point. Then I got a 3T and OnePlus was going down hill... promises of improvements that never came, Carl Pei fking lying, so that was it. I learned my lesson. My next phone was a Galaxy S10 and when that broke, I managed to get a good deal on a OnePlus 8 Pro and since it was cheaper and it had official LineageOS support, it was a good option.

I have no idea what my next phone will be. Maybe Asus Zenfone. Maybe some Xiaomi/Poco. Maybe OnePlus. Heck, if Google improves their SoC, maybe I can get a Pixel. I know I won't back to Samsung as I like to tinker with my devices, but as long there's some modding going and the brand is not hostile to modding, I'm open to consider it.

I check all the available options and choose the one that meets most of my requirements regardless of the brand, this is what everyone should do

For me, not a loyalty but a reputation. With some brands you have to do a very very deep research to find out if given model is good for you, and still can be surprised in a bad way after a purchase. Others brands are safe choose for 90% of the things and you need to decide for few key parameters only.

And software update speed and quality of course.

I've been enjoying my Pixel 5a as of late, but I would switch in a heartbeat if another OEM offered a product that's better for me. Brand loyalty doesn't make that much sense in my opinion, what does is looking for the best product for you.

No brand loyalty. First thing I primarily look at is what the history of update support has been for the brand, and then what the custom rom scene is like if that's an aspect I feel like exploring. Finally it's price, but if a phone has had subpar update support and doesn't even have a thriving custom rom scene then it's dead to me no matter what it promises.

not loyal. i like stock android so motorola, google or nokia it is.

I'll be honest, I have no special love for samsung products.. But I have both the S8+ and a Galaxy Flip, atm. The former because it's the best sized tablet for reading comics and the latter because I remembered how fun it was to have a flip phone.

Brand loyalty is for cowards. live a little and make more decisions based on your id

Samsung are the second phone manufacturer I've owned 2 devices in a row from, HTC being the first. Ive had Nokia and Apple too. Android, Windows Phone, and IOS.

I've learnt that they're all a compromise one way or another, and the grass is always greener. At the end of the day, all I use is YouTube, Lemmy, Facebook and Firefox, so yeah... Any will do!
