What is everyone’s daily driver right now?
I’m currently rocking a pixel 6a but can’t shake an itching desire for an s23

Can’t believe yours is still working. Mine bootlooped after a long flight from Seattle to the east coast

Xperia 1V. Yes I paid flagship money for a Sony phone because of the headphone jack. No it doesn’t overheat.
I imported an Xperia 10 IV about a month after launch. It’s a brilliant form factor, but I’m very sad that it doesn’t look like sailfish will ever arrive for it.
Nevertheless, I’m glad I bought it - and like you say, the headphone jack gets used frequently enough that you’d miss it if it wasn’t there.
Where did you import your Xperia from? I got myself pretty sold on getting one but totally forgot that Sony don’t sell phones in Aus anymore. Such a shame. I really want an sd card slot & headphone jack.
OnePlus 7Pro. Tempted for foldable but actually seeing what Nothing Phone 2 will be like. Beginning to think #eSim is needed for my future device
Also on a 7 pro here. It’s peak smartphone. If it ever breaks I’m more likely to attempt a repair or get another second hand 7 pro than to “upgrade” to a newer device.
Had a OnePlus 7 Pro for 4 years and just switched it out for a Pixel 7 Pro last week. A lot of things to like on the pixel, but the experience is definitely tinged with regret. The OnePlus 7 Pro is such a great device, I had never kept a phone more than 18 months before and that one I kept 4 years and still felt it was fine, I just wanted better photography and an AOD.
The biggest surprise with the pixel is how locked down it is. I assumed getting a Google phone would mean it was as open as possible, but it’s probably the least customizable Android phone I’ve had. Maybe I should have gotten an S23 ultra, but I hate all that Samsung crap that they put on those phones and don’t let you take off.
I’m not one for photography so not too bothered by the latest and greatest.
Op7p has the whole screen though and think that’s why many choise to stick with it and run roms to extend it too
Pixel line want to go the Apple way (closed?) but lost out to Samsung and others UI when they didn’t pay attention to hardware so many years back when they could, I feel.
Beauty of Android is one can make any device feel like another one. Just have to know where to look.
Samsung or pixel fold? Which one is calling you? Everyone i know with the samsung fold loves it.
More held back by price than brands. Perhaps see what OnePlus, Oppo, and other manufacturers come up with to push the prices down.
Have A Surface Duo as a secondary work device now and like the landscape form factor
I’m using a HTC U11 life.
I had to change the front camera.
And battery is draining quite fast now.I’m on the Pixel 7, I’m pretty happy with it.
I’m using a Google Pixel 6A (with a custom ROM at the moment). Other than the battery which I keep trying to find ways to remedy, it’s been the best phone I’ve ever purchased (though to be fair, it’s the most expensive phone I bought period).
Whether I’ll stick to Google next time is kind of up in the air right now, I used to use a Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite, and while MIUI sucks in a couple of ways, there were also a lot of lovely perks I did really like, especially if you flashed your phone with xiaomi.eu instead xiaomi’s official builds. Not to mention I could get a Poco F5 Pro for $460, which seems to tick all of the right boxes for me.
The S23 Ultra. Left the S22+ because of how bad the battery life was (thanks Qualcomm) but loving my S23U.
the one downside is size. it’s massive^.
Same! Bit too large but I wanted all the cameras.
Came from a Note 9 and it still feels a lot bigger.
Second hand Pixel 6 Pro with Graphene OS (don’t give your money to Google!)
Z fold 3. It was not worth the price, but it’s not a bad phone by any means.
I’ve seen a surprising amount of people carrying around a Fold 3 where I work.
Pixel 6a - was happily using a Pixel 5a for the past ~2 years until it had a spontaneous motherboard failure 3 weeks ago 🙃. Google replaced it with a 6a, I’m still annoyed the 5a can become a brick with no warning but I’m very happy with the 6a with GrapheneOS so far and plan to stick with it until the OS updates stop.
Galaxy A53 5G - Main phone. Galaxy A13 5G - Secondary phone.
S23. I had been using a Pixel 4a previously and was hesitant to use a Samsung phone because of all the hate One UI gets online, but I’m quite happy with the switch. The “bloat” is nowhere as bad as people make it out to be, and some of it actually very useful imo, like the side menu, much better multi-window, game mode, and routines. Expensive af compared to the 4a though.
Razer Phone 2. I probably should get something newer, but I need something rootable at a bare minimum, and preferably not Samsung.
OnePlus 6 running LineageOS with micro G.
S21U. Haven’t found anything super compelling to upgrade to yet.
