I assume everyone on Lemmy 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?

I’m just a scrub using stock Android. Am I the only one?

    I use Ubuntu Touch on Fairphone 4 with Nextcloud backup (self hosted).

    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.

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

    You were waaaaay off 😆

    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.

    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).

      The FOSS launcher Lawnchair is actually pretty great. Took some setting up, but now it does everything nova did for me.

      Sideloading though, yeah I really hope that doesn’t go through. Fun fact even now I can’t use a local gov’t because I have an accessibility service running that was ‘sideloaded’ (it’s from Lawnchair, if you want double tap to lock you need it)

    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.

      If you actually want to do it, have faith in yourself. It’s not that hard if you read the guide and watch a YouTube video or two. You’re probably smarter than you give yourself credit.

    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.

    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.

        Nope.

        Well, I don’t use any banking apps, personally. My understanding is that they don’t work under Waydroid.

        Other Android apps mostly work fine in Waydroid, so long as they don’t need access to GPS or camera to work properly.

        I removed Waydroid a while back, though, as I only needed it for one app and Waydroid took up almost 1/3 of the storage on the phone. It just wasn’t worth it, and I am happier to be rid of the Android ecosystem anyways.

        I should mention that the Linux phone life is NOT for everyone.

        I should also mention that battery life is still not anywhere close to competitors. Camera is meh but improves with updates.

        For my use cases (Phone/SMS/MMS, Lemmy, Mastodon, and a few other apps), it works totally fine and has proven to be reliable enough for almost 3 years. It gets better with age due to updates.
