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.

    Oh, and I do use the stylus from time to time… compared to high end devices (like Samsung’s Galaxy S lines) it’s not as responsive and there’s the occasional misclick, but it’s not bad. That’s the rating I’d give the experience with the phone overall: not great but certainly not terrible… 7/10 does most of what it says it’ll do.

      I have this model and the stylus doesn’t do it for me. The latency is just too high compared to an Apple Pencil, S Pen, or ReMarkable stylus.

        Yeah. I’m not using it for like graphic design or even scribbling notes. Just clicking on things and scrolling or swiping.
