We're still working on publishing the results of the census we ran a few months ago (sample size of around 600, where most users were from our Lemmy/Piefed instances)

Here is the graph for the phone question, exact numbers pending final cleanup:

We will also be fixing the data labels to be less terrible

iPhone 15 here. I gave up on android because Google seemed obsessed with borrowing the most annoying UI features from iOS and just doing them poorly.

Now I’m on the other side and don’t like it here either.

Next phone will be a dumb phone, I think. If my toys always make me angry they’re not good toys for me.

I use Ubuntu Touch on Fairphone 4 with Nextcloud backup (self hosted).

You got me, I have GrapheneOS on a pixel 8a. Seems like Android's only getting worse, so I'm going to do my best to never go back now. I've had it for nearly a year and I'm super happy with it, everything works just the way I want it. My only concern is the small battery meaning it often only has 30% charge left by the end of the night.

I have GrapheneOS on a Pixel 9a with everything backed up over NextCloud on a headless Ubuntu rackmount server.

You were waaaaay off 😆

Just switched to Graphene on a refurbished 10 Pro XL
Prior to that was a RedMagic 10 Pro

/e/os on Fairphone 4

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.

Samsung Galaxy S9+

I'm unwilling to get a more modern phone because of all the AI bullshit being shoved into them nowadays. Unlike most of Lemmy, I'm not smart enough to install and fully configure GrapheneOS to work without hiccups. So I remain with this old phone until it quits on me.

Pixel 9 with Graphene OS. I don't really bother with backups besides my personal photos since there's nothing critical on my phone. But I use immich for photos hosted on my unraid server.

I do have two backup Raspberry Pis, one at my house and one at a friend's, that my photos and other critical data is backed up to daily.

Motorola with their nearly-stock Android.

Excited about upcoming Motos with Graphene, though =]

/e/os on Fairphone 6

Graphene on a Pixel 8a. One of the few currently viable options, in my eyes.

GrapheneOS on a Pixel 6a

Sony Xperia 1 IV. Their naming scheme is terrible.

Main reason is because I wanted a future-proof, flagship phone with a headphone jack and micro SD card slot. Both have proven very useful, and I am still kind of in shock that most manufacturers have dropped them.

Stock android. Still using the NoVa launcher because I haven't had the free time to try out others, plus my pi-hole seems to block the ads they have been introducing for now.

The Xperia has a weirdly narrow screen. I like it in a vacuum better than todays phablets, but I think the occasional webpage scales weirdly.

Fairphone 6 with Android. Waiting for Motorola+GrapheneOS phone.

Fairphone 6 with e/OS

I wish. Using a pixel 6 here, not looking forward to when I need to replace it.

iPhone with plans to switch to GrapheneOS on a pixel soon.

Lineage OS on a pixel 8

iPhone 14 Pro

GrapheneOS on a refurbished pixel 10 from ebay

S24 Ultra. Will be my last Android with the way things are going.

Being on an iPhone for 11 years and then going to Android was a jaw dropping experience.

But now no more sideloading and Nova Launcher went to shit with ads after the owners sold (out).

GrapheneOS on a Pixel 8a, Google apps in a separate profile, local backup to a separate drive using rsync, notes/calendar/notes synced to nextcloud running on hetzner VPS. So pretty much same as everyone else here.

Nothing Phone 1, one of the best phones I've ever used, utilise the glyph system often and hope to upgrade at some point to a Nothing Phone 3.

Plus it's not from the US, so perfect for me.

I have a pixel 6 pro running the stock OS. I will run it until it is on its last legs and decide where to go next. To use banking and government apps here, I'm somewhat limited in my choices.

S24 FE. I hate all the recent changes Samsung has been doing but this phone should last me until 2030 at least, probably more. I'm also the only person on Lemmy who likes OneUI, and I'm OK with that now that all alternative launchers are enshittifying.

By the time I need to replace it, the market will probably be in an entirely different place and maybe even some Linux versions could be more viable.

I use Immich, bitwarden, mega, and Tuta. Which covers the backup of everything.

Librem 5.

Cons: Storage and RAM small. Battery so-so.

Pros: I haven't seen a single other phone I would rather own. Android and iOS are dumb as hell. Terrible OSes, in my opinion.

I want a Liberty Phone but can't justify the money. This works well enough for me. I will almost certainly be buying the L5 successor.

I need an SD slot and headphone jack so I'm on a Motorola g 25. I got it a couple months ago. It's pretty good so far. I chad an LG v20 prior to that.

LG G2 (2013) with LineageOS

imma use it till 2038, i even have spares

Switched from an iPhone Air to a Pixel 9a with grapheneOS.

Way cheaper, safer, I have learned a ton about security and self hosting and learned to love computers again.

GrapheneOS on a Pixel 6a. Technically have a few Google apps, but they are only banking/governmental stuff and one gacha game (which I primarily play on a tablet anyway). Too lazy to set up Nextcloud myself, but I do have a VPS I rent... and I used to have a local RasPi running PiHole

I am apparently a bit too uncomfortably close to the exact stereotype OP listed

I honestly don't know. When my phone dies I go to the nearest phone store and ask for the cheapest android phone they have in stock. They ask me what brand I want, what features are important to me--cheapest. They warn me that the camera isn't as good as OtherPhone's--cheapest. And the battery...--cheapest.

If I had to venture a guess I'd say it's a Redmi? And I suppose it's bad.
It was 150€ 4 years ago. I can't fathom sinking 500€ on a phone.

Refurbished pixel 7.

I originally wanted to install graphene, but I like the stock firmware enough to stick with it.

Pixel 8 stock, haven't gotten around to Graphene OS yet and a little worried it won't work with my bank/credit card apps. I think I can revert to stock if things don't work for me so I might try soon.

I really miss my LG G8 though.
