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

Pixel 6a running GrapheneOS. I was expecting to waste a weekend setting it up but I’ve been blown away with how good the user experience is. The only pain point I’ve had is not being able to run my banking app without Google services installed.
Right now I have a separate profile with sandboxes Google services installed which is unfortunate but gets the job done!

Pixel 7 Pro here.
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.
I’m also here on a Pixel 7, lots of my die hard android friends are also on Pixels as well.
I moved from the Note to a Pixel 1 and haven’t looked back. I kept the Pixel 1 until it would not turn on anymore. I just feel in love with the simple clean Android install. After that I got a Pixel 4XL and a few months later my wife finally gave in and I got her a Pixel 5.
A couple of months ago my wife dropped her 5 and just cracked the shit out of her screen. So I ordered her a Pixel 7, which she loves. Unfortunately not even a week later my Pixel 4 XL died. It won’t hold a charge without being plugged in. I didn’t want to spring for two new phones so close together, so I grabbed my wife’s old S8. I couldn’t take it. All the stupid Samsung specific apps. The inability to remove Facebook or Bigsby drove me nuts. I ended up just using her Pixel 5, broken screen and all over the S8. Hoping to get enough cash to order a 7 pro for myself soon.
I’ll be sure to let everyone know when I do order a 7, because of history repeats itself like with my last two Pixel purchases, the Pixel 8 will be announced the next day.
I am was previously using cheap Android phones second hand Blackberry Key2, Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 ( God I hated that phone so many issues with Gmail and the proximity sensor).
My smartwatch took a dump Fossil Gen 5 and I wanted a really good battery ( I run a lot and do sports a lot) my options where a Galaxy Watch 5 Pro or Sunnto. I went with the Galaxy Watch.
I really despise the bloated Samsung interface but I know it will pair really good with the smartwatch so I went with the Pixel 7. I regret a bit my choice because I can’t have the latest beta features of my smartwatch and I will have to wait for a couple of months to have the update.
I am considering the Pixel Watch 2 but I kinda fell in love with the health features of Samsung Health with all the body composition that syncs with my scale the together feature where you do some steps challenges. I don’t know I am stuck with 2 ecosystems at the same time.
Pixel 6 with just the stock software.
Honestly, I don’t think I could never go “back” to a 3rd party Android device. The hardware might be great, but the clean software and fast software upgrades is was sold me back in the Pixel 3A days.
Same here, though a few peeps here posted about running GrapheneOS on the 6a and I might look at that soon.
It’s been quite a seamless experience for me. Installation involved clicking buttons and waiting. I highly recommend if you want to move away from the Google ecosystem.

I might check it out as well! I also wanna checkout PostmarketOS one day.
Pixel 6a running GrapheneOS.
Razer Phone 2. I probably should get something newer, but I need something rootable at a bare minimum, and preferably not Samsung.
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.
Rocking my S10+ since release! (I despise the fingerprint sensor though )
S21U. Haven’t found anything super compelling to upgrade to yet.
Fellow Pixel 6a user here (with Graphene OS)! My gripes are mainly the ‘rainbow effect’ of the screen and the fingerprint sensor that doesn’t work 10% of the time.
I am on a Pixel 7 Pro with GrapheneOS. I am absolutely happy with that device. The battery lasts about 3 days for me. I like the work the GrapheneOS team is doing. All those privacy and security enhancements are great to have.
On Google Pixel sub, they often complain about battery. Is the three days because of Graphene OS?
It might be because of Google Play sandboxing. I have it running and battery life seems to be worse. Not a deal breaker though.
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.
