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.

    It was an easy choice as it’s the only modern devide with removable battery and a headphone jack. I would’ve gotten Fairphone but no headphone jack - no buy.

      Personally I’ve only really stuck with wireless headphones anyway since before they removed the jack so doesn’t bother me that much

      How often do you find yourself needing to charge it?

        My average screen on time is around 1 to 2 hours a day so I usually have well over 50% left when I plug it to a charger at night.
