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 hear a lot of good things about the older pixels, but they only have a couple years of security updates left and a couple months of android updates so it doesn’t feel like a smart decision to buy them now

      They don’t have less security updates than other brands. Plus you can always install a custom ROM to keep getting updates afterwards.

        LineageOS or GrapheneOS are perfect for these and dont rely on google play services eating your data and battery.

          Yup. That’s exactly what I was thinking
