My phone's just bitten the dust and now I need to look for a new one again.

Thought I'd test the waters and see what kinds of phones people on here are using nowadays and what for, what features set them apart if any etc

Bonus points if anyone's managed to get mainline linux running on them either via KVM or bare metal

Edit: Thanks for everyone who talked about their choices of phone, I am now writing this on a fairphone 4 and am quite happy with it so far.

I got a seconhand Samsung S22+.

Great size (my last phone was too small), battery good, performance is great, screens good. Everything is good.

But the camera is meh. I'm really disappointed by that and I don't know what to do. Sure it's an upgrade on my 5 year old cheaper Chinese phone. But I thought it was meant to have a great camera, the default setting are some shitty Instagram looking ai filter where the sky is the bluest blue much darker than reality, grass is some glowing bright green it looks like a fucking video game. I managed to fix a lot of that but it's still meh, night mode is fairly bad too.

Oneplus have paired with Hasselblad, if you're looking for something with a good camera. I regret the phone because the quality has gone downhill over the generations but the camera is on point

One plus was the best phone I ever had. I regret on getting it last time.

I looked into it this time but everyone said oneplus is shit now.

My 2 was amazing, it lasted me years and worked so well with minimal bloat. I went for the 10pro this time and it's not the same. The camera's phenomenal but it's now two years old and just not holding up well. Glitches like crazy and the battery's starting to die. Can't distinguish it from any other phone now

I hope so but they've lost my loyality so I'd have to be impressed to return to them

Considering the Nothing phone next
