I assume everyone on Lemmy uses GrapheneOS on a Pixel 7 or LineageOS flashed onto a LG Tribute with zero Google apps, and everything backed up via nextcloud running on a headless Debian Raspberry Pie?

I'm just a scrub using stock Android. Am I the only one?

I keep buying motorolas because they're rugged as fuck. I get a new one every 3-5 years. They're all the same-ish these days, and rarely come with any sort of incentive or discount, so it doesn't make sense to refesh too often. I try to get my money's worth from my devices.

Can't tell you how many samsungs my kids have broken, but both of their motos still work.

    Can confirm, Motorola makes some pretty rugged phones. I had my T-Mobile Revvlry+ (based on the Motorola G7 but different camera) for like 7 years.

    After the power button literally took a shit, I opened it up to see if I could fix it. Somehow they managed to seal the buttons in an aluminum block, completely non-serviceable, so I just kept using it for another 6 months or so, using the charging cable to wake it from sleep.

    Knowing the phone was on its way out (oh yeah I forgot to mention the busted screen), I backed everything up, got sick and tired of the thing, and broke it in half by hand. And oh boy that phone was tougher to break than I thought..
