Xperia 1V. Yes I paid flagship money for a Sony phone because of the headphone jack. No it doesn't overheat.

I imported an Xperia 10 IV about a month after launch. It's a brilliant form factor, but I'm very sad that it doesn't look like sailfish will ever arrive for it.
Nevertheless, I'm glad I bought it - and like you say, the headphone jack gets used frequently enough that you'd miss it if it wasn't there.

OnePlus 7Pro. Tempted for foldable but actually seeing what Nothing Phone 2 will be like. Beginning to think #eSim is needed for my future device
Also on a 7 pro here. It's peak smartphone. If it ever breaks I'm more likely to attempt a repair or get another second hand 7 pro than to "upgrade" to a newer device.

Had a OnePlus 7 Pro for 4 years and just switched it out for a Pixel 7 Pro last week. A lot of things to like on the pixel, but the experience is definitely tinged with regret. The OnePlus 7 Pro is such a great device, I had never kept a phone more than 18 months before and that one I kept 4 years and still felt it was fine, I just wanted better photography and an AOD.
The biggest surprise with the pixel is how locked down it is. I assumed getting a Google phone would mean it was as open as possible, but it's probably the least customizable Android phone I've had. Maybe I should have gotten an S23 ultra, but I hate all that Samsung crap that they put on those phones and don't let you take off.

Fellow Pixel 6a user here (with Graphene OS)! My gripes are mainly the 'rainbow effect' of the screen and the fingerprint sensor that doesn't work 10% of the time.
I am on a Pixel 7 Pro with GrapheneOS. I am absolutely happy with that device. The battery lasts about 3 days for me. I like the work the GrapheneOS team is doing. All those privacy and security enhancements are great to have.
On Google Pixel sub, they often complain about battery. Is the three days because of Graphene OS?

Pixel 6 with just the stock software.
Honestly, I don't think I could never go "back" to a 3rd party Android device. The hardware might be great, but the clean software and fast software upgrades is was sold me back in the Pixel 3A days.

Grapheneos pixel 6a
Pixel 7a. I recently moved to this from a Fold3. If the pixel fold has any sort of dex-like functionality, the pixel fold 2 will probably be my next phone.
Curious, why did you decide to switch from Fold 3 to Pixel 7a?
The main motivator was that I found myself using the outside screen in the fold 90% of the time and it is not a good screen to use 90% of the time.
There were also some software issues with some apps. Google messages, for example, would crash if I tried using it on the open screen. While I recognize that's a error on the app development side, so few apps are being properly developed for foldables, it was a legitimate issue.
The final deciding factor was repair. I'm very lucky to have a Samsung store near y, but when I needed that exterior display replaced, 3 ubreakifix locations were unable to service the phone for various reasons.
Pixel 6a running GrapheneOS. I was expecting to waste a weekend setting it up but I've been blown away with how good the user experience is. The only pain point I've had is not being able to run my banking app without Google services installed.
Right now I have a separate profile with sandboxes Google services installed which is unfortunate but gets the job done!
Galaxy Z Fold 3. Loving the folding phone life, very interested in moving over to the pixel fold, probably not this year but maybe for the 2.
I use the Fold 4 and like it a lot. Being able to just open my phone to a mini tablet is fire.
Only downside is not every app works all that well with it so I'm hoping the Pixel fold sells well and encourages more support.
And sells well enough to get more versions. I was a Pixel user before this and the Samsung experience is kinda eh. Their app store keeps trying to push apps via push notifications that install if I so much as click on the notification and it's driving me crazy.

Rocking my S10+ since release! (I despise the fingerprint sensor though )
Pixel 7 Pro.
Tried an S22 Ultra but couldn't get over the ads all over the OS, pre-installed bloatware, and the terrible camera shutter lag ):

Redmi Note 10. Have had it for two years without much issue, but have a bit of an itch to check out a Pixel 7a.
Pixel 4a, best phone ove ever had. This is the last year for OS updates so I gave to either roll with an unsupported OS or move to something like Lineage
Z fold 3. It was not worth the price, but it's not a bad phone by any means.

Using Pixel 6 with Graphene OS…with many many FOSS apps.
Galaxy A53 5G - Main phone. Galaxy A13 5G - Secondary phone.
I have an s23 ultra and I love it to bits. Has everything I could possibly want on a phone. Transferred my mathematica license to my phone in my linux environment
Redmi K30 Pro. Love the pop up camera and the full screen display with no stupid notch or hole punch. Have no plans to replace it any time soon since I just replaced the battery and everything else is still good as new.

S23+. It's a downgrade in most ways from my Note 8... I don't like it very much. Screen looks worse. Glass scratches super easily. Software is buggy. The camera is atrocious. 9/10 photos I take of my kids comes out blurry.
I'm pretty disappointed overall considering it's supposed to be Samsung's flagship. It'll probably be the last Samsung phone I buy and I've been very happy with their phones in the past.
S21U. Haven't found anything super compelling to upgrade to yet.
Nothing Phone 1. Pretty happy with it.
I've got a Z3 Galaxy Fold.
Funnily enough I think the way it's messing with the Jerboa app as it keeps logging me out when I switch from front to unfolded mode.

I've got a OnePlus 11 and it's pretty great so far!
Xiaomi Note 10 Pro. It was inexpensive and does everything I need it to do.
Pixel 7.
I know that a few others have had problems with this phone, but it's been fairly solid for me. Camera is great, too.
Now that I've said that, I've probably jinxed it, and will RMA it tomorrow...
Same! This was my first brand new, pre-ordered phone. Got it day one and I love it. I've only had two issues: rarely, the volume buttons stop working only for the volume adjustment; I can still screenshot with them. Second, the haptic feedback for the keyboard will randomly stop working; again, other haptic sources still work. Both just require a quick restart, which I should be doing more often anyway. Besides those tiny and weird bugs, it's been perfect.
That's a weird bug about the volume key. Can't say that I've noticed that. I've heard that the volume button can fall out, but obviously this physical issue isn't the case for you, as you can still use it to screen capture.
When you restart the phone, does the volume button control the volume again?

Oneplus 10 pro. Was planning on moving away from Oneplus, but I got it cheap.
Recently got an s23, coming from pixel 5. There's good and bad. The hardware feels a lot more premium. Software side there's so much more customisation on the galaxy, but the pixel everything is so smart out of the box. I keep coming across little things that made life so easy on the pixel which are missing from Samsung.
Razer Phone 2. I probably should get something newer, but I need something rootable at a bare minimum, and preferably not Samsung.
I've been rocking a Xiaomi Mi 9t Pro for the past few years. I've run a few different Android variants and have been really happy with Evolution at the moment. I honestly don't know what would make me upgrade. This phone still easily lasts a day and a half on one charge and has all the features I'd want (headphone jack).
Had Fold 3 since launch and it's been amazing!
I'm on the Pixel 7, I'm pretty happy with it.
Oneplus 6T. The screen is starting to come loose, so I'm guessing it only has a few more months. I'll probably get Google Pixel.
Pixel is quirky but not too bad. the fingerprint sensor is the worst part :(
