Currently, I’m using a Motorola moto g100 and I’m happy with it. Good battery life, nice big screen, much improved performance compared to my last phone. Best phone I’ve ever owned. The main inconvenience is the location of the fingerprint sensor: I’d have preferred if it was on the front of the device somehow (definitely not on the back – I often have it lying flat on the table).

I also dislike the fact it can only remember five fingerprints while I have 10 fingers. Who thought that was a good idea? :þ

Previously I had a Moto G5+ and a Moto G. I guess you could say I enjoyed the quality and relative lack of bloatware of these Motorola phones, while being more affordable than some of the alternatives I was considering at the time I bought them.

Going further back, I had a HTC Desire Z (with a slide-out physical keyboard). I picked it as my first smartphone because I was hesitant to get rid of physical keys, but as it turned out I hardly ever used them. Looking back, this one was clearly the worst value for the money.

Since I switched to smart phones I’ve been upgrading every 3 or 4 years.

Before the smart phone era, I had an Alcatel device (can’t remember the exact model). I used that tiny near-indestructable thing for over a decade, only charging it about once a week. It was mostly an “in case of emergency” though, not nearly as heavily used as later phones, because it wasn’t really usable as a miniature pocket-computer (like smart phones are). Still, I was pretty happy with it at the time: the only reason I got rid of it was because the ‘0’ button broke, and in my country all phone numbers start with 0.

I also have an LG G Watch (Wear OS). A relative worked at Google when these were handed out to employees but didn’t actually want it, so I got it as a gift. It’s pretty old now: I’ve replaced the bands a few times and it won’t charge past 70%, but it still mostly works and the battery still lasts all day. I’m not sure if I’ll get another smart watch if and when this one finally breaks, though.

No Apple products, and my laptop runs Linux Mint. These days, I only use Windows at work or when helping relatives with tech problems (sigh).

Samsung S21+ 5G

I’m currently running the Pixel 6 Pro with Graphine OS.

Worst thing about this phone is the curved display. Everything else is good enough for me, which is saying a lot. I’ve had many phones over years and only a few have really been awesome.

In no particular order:

• HTC EVO Shift, EVO 4G LTE, EVO 3D
• Some ZTE Phone with android 2.2
• Oneplus One, 3T, 6T
• Pixel 4, Pixel 6 Pro
• Nexus 4, 5, 5x, 7
• iPhone 4, SE, 7, 12

Edit: format and a device

I use the Pixel 7 Pro

I love it. The cameras are unparalleled, the software is excellent, and the experience is pure. Battery life isn’t nearly as bad as people say, but it could be better.

Last few phones: iPhone 5c, Galaxy S5, Nexus 6P, Pixel 2 XL, Pixel 5, Pixel 6 Pro

Worst was the 6P, because it bricked itself (though I got a few hundred dollars back in the class action lawsuit), but it was excellent aside from that. iPhone got a dead pixel within a month, but they replaced it, Galaxy was sturdy but software was awful. Best was Pixel 2 XL, I still use it as a backup sometimes.

I get a new phone every year if the trade-in deals are good.

I have the Pixel Watch and Pixel Buds. I mainly use the Sony XMs though for headphones.

I have a 14" MacBook Pro M1 Pro. Got it for the insane battery life, but I’m mostly a Windows/Linux user still.I have an iPad, it isn’t bad, but I miss the affordable Android tablets of old (Nexus 7 rocked). I don’t have any desire to move to iOS.

Currently have a Pixel 7 Pro with a Pixel Watch

Owned in the past a pixel 4a5G, an OG pixel (still use it to upload to my Google photos in original quality for free), a One Plus 6T, a Nexus 4/5/6

For tablets the only Android one was the Nexus 9 and I’m now using an Acer ChromeTab which runs Android apps.

For watches I owned the moto360, the LG Watch Urbane, the Huawei Watch and the Fossil gen 5

What phone are you using? Pixel 7

Are you happy with it? What are its best and worst qualities? Love it. Works really well and great camera. No issues I’ve had so far after a year. Would’ve been nice to have a headphone jack, but not a big issue.

Which phones have you had previously? Which were the best and worst of the lot? Moto Max, pixel, pixel 3a, lots of others

How often do you upgrade to a new phone? Every few years recently

What other Android ecosystem devices do you have? Watches, headphones/earbuds, etc. Shield TV, Fitbit, pixel buds pro, fire tablet

Do you also use any Apple products, or are you Android all the way? (And/or Windows, Linux, ChromeOS, etc.) My kid has an iPad for speaking but that’s it. Everything else is android and the PC is Windows 11pro

S20 Fe 5g, with SD865, 8GB RAM and 256GB Storage

LG v60.

I’m still headphones gang, may be the last phone of its time tho

Fold 4.

I don’t have buyers remorse because it’s different from the usual phones, just that I barely use it unfolded. The outer screen is good enough for most purposes.

S21 Plus

Pixel 7 Pro

My main PC is on Pop!_OS, Ubuntu based distro based on rolling kernel releases

I’m on an S22U right now. The device is excellently built and the S Pen is really handy, but I do miss my OnePlus 6T’s notification system. It did a much better job with conversations, categories and grouping. I had a Nexus 5 before, which was nice, but the 16GB of storage was pretty limiting.

I also have the Buds Live (the beans!) and those are awesome. They’re the only earbuds I’ve found that stay in my ears, even when running or shaking my head around. I used to have a LEMFO watch (the huge one), but the digitizer flaked out on me.

I used to have a Lenovo Yoga C940 (which had all sorts of problems), but I’ve since switched to a Mac

Galaxy Fold 4. Would have immediately recommended it but this past weekend the inside screen protector cracked down the middle. I need to contact Samsung and see how big of a hassle this is to get it replaced. I’ve only had the phone like 6 months, this really shouldn’t be this fragile

I’m using a Picel 7 pro right now, coming from a Pixel 6 before this and OnePlus products before that. Prior to this phone my OnePlus 7 pro was my favorite phone ever and is a very close second to my current pixel. My least favorite phone was my Samsung Galaxy 7 edge, I hated that piece of garbage, it lasted less than year before the cpu was glacially slow.

I refuse to use any apple products, use windows on my work PC and my gaming PC, but use Linux on everything else (and will probably put my gaming PC on Linux soon as well).

I do admit that the Apple watch is a nice bit of tech, but I use a Garmin Fenix 6s pro since I mainly need a watch for tracking my running and cycling.
