    The Google Pixel 4a!!! I finally had an OLED screen with better colors! Finally had 128gbs of storage. The size is perfect!!! Still use it as a car music player when there is no signal. We need more under 6 inch screen size phones!

    Essential phone was a huge flop but man was it a nice phone. Ignoring the poor radio issues it had everything you could want plus the ability to attach accessories like 360 camera. And it was almost perfect one hand use sized.

      Loved my essential. After moving to a OnePlus 7t pro when Essential died, I’m trying the Nothing phone 2 now and the design language feels very reminiscent of the essential. Just big, but apparently that’s unavoidable now :/

      Yep.

      I’m actually upgrading to a Pixel 5 in a few weeks! Lol.

      Great size, lighter than many, great specs, and I can run DivestOS on it. And it’s less than $150

    My Pixel 5.
    I can run GrapheneOS and I prefer the fingerprint reader on the back. And that style of fingerprint reader seems to work a lot better than the ones they put under the screen in the Pixel 6 and up.

      I just upgraded to the Pixel 8 Pro when the Pixel 5 went out of official support. The screen fingerprint reader works fine. Where it is flawed is that it’s not as quick to unlock from the front. I’m looking forward to the greatly improved support period. Three years was ridiculously short. I know something like GrapheneOS is always an option, but I’m hesitant to do so when I don’t have a backup phone.

      The Pixel 8 Pro has been treating me well. Great photos and video, snappy UI, good feature set. And it sounds like I’ll be getting feature drops for the next few years, so that’s nice. The battery life is good. I added on Peak Design’s case and mini tripod, so I can quickly set it up on a surface to take videos or make a video call.

    Why the 2015 cutoff? There were many awesome phones released prior to 2015.

      Nokia XpressMusic was the best, just realized they released a new version of it a few years ago but only in some countries

      I think they’re looking for modern-ish phones rather than nostalgia about Nokias

    The Blackberry KeyOne. A tall touchscreen combined with the classic BB physical keyboard and running on Android. It was a great phone and I’d still be using it today if the battery didn’t die. I still haven’t adapted well to touchscreen keyboards.

      It’s really too bad Blackberry got out of the mobile phone market. They were the only large corporation I truly felt I could trust with my data.

        Not really, they always complied with data handover to governments. The London Riots in the late 2000s early 2010s Blackberry handed over data of the rioters. In order to stay in the middle east they had to set up dedicated servers to comply with intercept legislation

    Pixel phones. I’ve had the 2XL, 4a, 6 Pro, 7 Pro, and 8 Pro. Each one was better than the last. I know some people had manufacturing problems and the Pixel 3 had memory issues. But I’ve been lucky and never had issues. And the software experience is exactly what I want. Call Screening is awesome.

    My OnePlus 7 Pro! I used it for 3 years and I wouldn’t have changed phones if the battery was still able to get through the day. I got a Galaxy Fold 4 after it because wanted something without a hole punch camera, but it’s been nothing but trouble. It’s been mailed out for repair under warranty again for the second time in the year I’ve had it now, so I’m back to the 7 Pro, and it still holds up! I have Lineage OS on it now though because the last security patch OnePlus officially released is now over a year old.

    Note 8. I have the Galaxy 22 Ultra and the camera is defective and makes everything blurry. Plus removing SD card and headphone jack is some bullshit.

    Oneplus 6t. Still use it today, in fact typing this comment on it. Been great with custom Roms, has Android 13 on it with newest security updates installed (November 2023). Cost me $75. People look at me weirdd when i say that.

    I liked a lot about the Sony X Compact, especially the compactness. It had a headphone jack, SD card, unlockable bootloader, and dedicated button for the camera (with half-press to focus and meter like a real camera).
