Pixel 5 with a Pixel Fold on preorder!
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).
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?

Redmi K20 Pro (or Mi 9T Pro). Running Evolution X A13. Love it still. Probably next Pixel if they make it compact as I desperately wish for a small phone
Oneplus 10 pro. Was planning on moving away from Oneplus, but I got it cheap.
Sony Xperia 5 IV, refused to get a phone without a headphone jack and hate the annoying cut outs for front facing cameras that pretty much every modern phone has. I much prefer the straight bezels across the edges that my Xperia has and it also has the added plus of allowing for the front facing stereo speakers.

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.
Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) with lots of replacement parts running LineageOS. Still a solid daily driver.
Sadly there are very little modern options of suitable small Android phones.
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.
My 6T lasted five years, pretty good phone but the battery finally is giving up. Pixel 7 is an awesome replacement. The fingerprint sensor on the pixel has about the same error rate as the 6T for me.

Oneplus 7T Pro. Though I watch a lot of media on it and love the design of a clean screen with no punch hole, I'm extremely tempted by the Zenfone 10. Will await the launch on 29th June. I am aching for a smaller, lighter flagship. The battery on this is dying though performance is largely still great, camera quality is so-so and I've cracked my screen. It's getting old now and it's time for a replacement
Pixel 6. Been great for me since release!
Currently rocking a Samsung Galaxy S21 FE. Battery life is not too shabby, and they have even recently improved with the latest security patch. Performance, camera, media consumption, etc., are all pretty great foe the price I got this phone for. Really glad that it will be getting more Android updates for a while.
Galaxy Note 10+
Galaxy A32 4G (2021). Alright camera & specs, 3.5" audio jack, dedicated μSDXC port, DS/DS, FM radio. Decent price point. Dropped OneUI for NovaLauncher.
The most annoying thing about getting it was the fact the 5G version is a completely different phone- different dimensions & all. But shops didn't seem to realise this. They stocked exclusively the 4G phone (fine by me: it's specced better) but the 5G peripherals. So I had to go online to get case etc.
currently using an S22, next phone will likely be one I can install a custom ROM on. perhaps a pixel
Z4 Flip. I like the smaller footprint and since I don't take a lot of pictures I don't mind the downgrade in camera from my previous S22. And no, the fold don't bother me.
Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1
LineageOS 20.
It's still too fine to replace, although it's the first phone of which I cracked the screen.
Chose it for the reasonableness of it at the time, was like 200€ new, with microSD, unlockable bootloader, had lineageOS support and still microUSB, as I still don't even have a hand full of usb-c devices.
Lineageos motorola one 5g ace. However the charging port is being fickle so i will be replacing it in the next month or so with the oneplus nord n200. Were it not for the charging port i would keep the moto and be very happy. First phone i have ever had start to fail like that. I have backed up all my data onto my old pixel 3a xl just in case the moto just wont charge one day when i plug it in.
OnePlus 8 IN2015
Second hand Pixel 6 Pro with Graphene OS (don't give your money to Google!)
S23. I had been using a Pixel 4a previously and was hesitant to use a Samsung phone because of all the hate One UI gets online, but I'm quite happy with the switch. The "bloat" is nowhere as bad as people make it out to be, and some of it actually very useful imo, like the side menu, much better multi-window, game mode, and routines. Expensive af compared to the 4a though.
Pixel 6a - was happily using a Pixel 5a for the past ~2 years until it had a spontaneous motherboard failure 3 weeks ago 🙃. Google replaced it with a 6a, I'm still annoyed the 5a can become a brick with no warning but I'm very happy with the 6a with GrapheneOS so far and plan to stick with it until the OS updates stop.
Still on the Ole Galaxy s9
The S23 Ultra. Left the S22+ because of how bad the battery life was (thanks Qualcomm) but loving my S23U.
the one downside is size. it's massive^.
Same! Bit too large but I wanted all the cameras.
Came from a Note 9 and it still feels a lot bigger.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4
OnePlus 6 running LineageOS with micro G.
Really digging the Sony Xperia Pro-I. Wanted to try something new that wasn't a Pixel or a Galaxy
