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

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.

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

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

You were waaaaay off 😆

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.

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.

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.

Motorola with their nearly-stock Android.

Excited about upcoming Motos with Graphene, though =]

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

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.

GrapheneOS on a Pixel 6a

iPhone 14 Pro

Fairphone 6 with e/OS

Lineage OS on a pixel 8

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

GrapheneOS on a refurbished pixel 10 from ebay

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.

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.

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.

/e/os on Fairphone 4

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.

iPhone 17

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

GrapheneOS on a Pixel 8a

Pixel 6 pro with Graphene OS

Pixel 9, GrapheneOS

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.

I just finished a clean reflash of LineageOS on my Nothing Phone 1 without any closed source apps except for minecraft android (played with a clip on controller). If i find a reliable way to play actual java versions i will remove my google account from my phone and go full open source.

Fairphone4

Im jelly of people who can run GrapheneOS, I can lead others to water but can not drink...

GrapheneOS on a pixel 8

Nothing Phone 2

Don't really like the newer models because the glyphs have decreased loads.

RGB glyphs would be pretty cool, ones you could program yourself

Still have an iPhone 12 mini. Will upgrade to like the iPhone 18 pro or something. I'm waiting until this stops getting software updates first.

Galaxy xcover 6 pro. Still have both 3.5mm jack and replaceable battery.

Galaxy S24 ultra here

Pixel 6a stock

LG G2 (2013) with LineageOS

imma use it till 2038, i even have spares

iPhone 13 mini, which I will stick with until Apple ships another one-handed phone.

Xiaomi 13t, 1TB storage, Leica camera, bought used.

It's very good, except the insanely aggressive clean up policy; you watch youtube on FF, switch out to check something and back, youtube is gone...

With 8(+8) GB RAM i could probably use it as a daily Linux driver but there is no linux for it. Will switch to like graphene when I can.

/Sorry infodump

Pixel9a with GrapheneOS installed

Nokia n gauge

Oppo Reno 12, running on Android - via Oppo's "ColorOS", which is ok.

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?

Hey now, it's a Pixel 8 and Raspbian.

Two google apps in a separate profile with a different pin

I use stock android but hate smartphones and only own it because of a previous job that required one but gave a monthly comp so you had to get one. I keep minimal apps on it. have it shutoff most times. I use it for phone calls and camera mostly with maybe maps and calendar. I have f-droid to avoid google apps but the stock camera works better than my alternate app so I use that for photos more.

Well google just renabled automatic app updates and it broke a bunch of my apps because I get the pre adware/spyware/buyout version of apps. So ive been in the market the last week for a graphene phone. Seems pretty likely ill get a stock android phone thats supported by grapheneOS and flash it myself, im uncomfortable with buying a pre used $200 phone.

I use a Samsung S23 with the standard Android system.

Grapheneos on my pixel 9, perfectly complements my PC with Arch :3
