I have a ZenFone 8 with stock. I love the form factor but I'm mildly annoyed that I can't uninstall certain apps and the QA is poor, never have I been forced to repair a phone this much.
I backup photos via immich, passwords vid bitwarden and run calendar, contacts, notes via nextcloud
Moto G 7 power from 2019. Since it's quite old there are limited options for alternative OSs, so I'm using e/OS. It has its issues but it runs perfectly well.
everyone on Lemmy uses GrapheneOS on a Pixel 7
Wrong, I use it on a Pixel 6 Pro
and everything backed up via nextcloud running on a headless Debian Raspberry Pie?
Also wrong, my nextcloud and headless Debian is running on a Proxmox VM
Currently using a samsung, looking to jump ship
Rooted Pixel 8 on lineageOS with mindtheGApps, I unfortunately still use some Google stuff, I am slowly de-googling. But I at least get slightly more privacy this way.
Gotta start somewhere. De-googling takes time and even if you never fully get there, just cutting off some of the big services that they harvest your data from like Gmail and Photos is a great first step.
LineageOS on a moto g42. Best phone I ever had!
I had three straight Pixel phones die from random hardware failures on me in the span of less than two years, so I have high hopes for this Motorola/GrapheneOS collab.
Currently using a Razr foldable. Which has lasted longer than two of the three Pixels put together. Stock Android. Would love to put LineageOS on it instead. Currently no rom for it and I'm not a developer.
EDIT: For backups, I do it the old fashioned way. Periodic device dumps into 3 different desktop/laptop computers. Not optimal, don't have the time or budget to do better right now. Again, I'm not a developer and frankly most of my life is not digital. The parts that are digital aren't a huge deal to me if they aren't airtight secure.
As politics go, I WANT people to know that I'm for trans rights and body autonomy and that I think all republicans deserve the gulag. Please record my full name and details with my convictions on those issues and display them everywhere when I'm gone. I will NOT go down in history lumped in with the masses under "Why didn't regular people fight back? Did they actually support this?" when this regime is studied in school with the scorn and ridicule it deserves. Anyway, I don't put my name out there on purpose with that stuff but if someone links me to the causes I support because there are memes about trans people in my Google account, all the better. I wear pride in public anyway, might as well wear it in private.
Xiomi. Sue me.
I'm using a Samsung with an android os. I wanted an android phone but couldn't get my hands on one at the time, so this was the next best option.
Samsung. It's not US nor Chinese.
Fairphone 5 with android, I'm contemplating moving to e/os but I need to take the time you do it.
iPhone 16 pro…
I mean work gives it to me… and I’m too cheap to buy a personal phone
Stock Android on Samsung S23 because it was $400 at the time (JB-Hi-Fi had a steal of a deal), and current phone at the time was dead, so I needed something. Otherwise, I'm not sure where I would have gone, but definitely not Apple. All of my workplaces use iPhones and I hate it.
Company buys me a pimped up iPhone every two years. I’m due for an upgrade this fall again.
Can’t be arsed to buy a separate one, would buy a GrapheneOS supported one if that didn’t involve giving money to Google
Realme GT 7 Pro
I've been quite happy with it, the package price is great while the software is much less neutered than the Xiaomis I've used before. Fast processor, gargantuan battery and the fast charging up to 120W without heating up the phone much is insane.
Galaxy A14, which was the only new phone I could afford for 140 Euros (+ 50 Euros for the 512 GB microsd card) that offered the longest security updates.
Thought of getting an used Pixel 2XL and install (now defunct) divestos on it, but then the battery would be certainly dead and didn't want to risk replacing it myself.
GrapheneOS on Pixel 7.
Love GrapheneOS, not so impressed with the HW quality of the Pixel for the price I paid. I feel my previous Huawei P20 was more durable, and it was a good 200€ cheaper at time of purchase.
GrapheneOS on a Pixel 7
How do you know???
I'm a scrub using stock Android also. Well, technically stock Samsung, whatever flavor of Android they call that nowadays. In my defense, saying that I "use" my phone at all is generous. I avoid the digital ball-and-chain like the plague, only touch it when I have to (like when some foolish family member calls me). None of my important data, passwords, or accounts will ever touch it unless they give me literally no other choice.
iphone 8 😀
I'd love to be using GrapheneOS, but I refuse to lower my standards to a sub-par device, and certainly wouldn't pay the Google tax for the privilege. So I'm currently using a Galaxy Note9 with NobleROM while hoping against all logic that the Motorola + GrapheneOS partnership doesn't spit out another useless wet fart of a device.
Grapheneos on my pixel 9, perfectly complements my PC with Arch :3
iPhone 15 pro max
Old-ish iPhone. Will be getting replaced with a FairPhone, I think.
iPhone 13 Pro. Planning on replacing the battery if it ever gets too bad, then maybe replacing it with a Fairphone a few years after.
CrDroid on 8 pro.
/e/-OS on Fairphone 5.
Edit: You're right about the backup though.
I am not worthy 🥹
Xiaomi 17 pro with Hyperos.
iPhone 16 Pro Max
GrapheneOS is a “someday” that will rely on degoogling ither aspects of my digital life and setting up self hosted solutions for others.
I have an iPhone Air after renewing my cell plan this year. Its alright
I also have a OnePlus 6T running PostmarketOS but I use it more for tinkering than as a daily driver right now
I thought it would be a Fairphone with a Stallman-approved FSF app set.
