So, I thought I'd kick things off here with some community building.

Quote this post with answers to the below!

What phone are you using?

Are you happy with it? What are its best and worst qualities?

Which phones have you had previously? Which were the best and worst of the lot?

How often do you upgrade to a new phone?

What other Android ecosystem devices do you have? Watches, headphones/earbuds, etc.

Do you also use any Apple products, or are you Android all the way? (And/or Windows, Linux, ChromeOS, etc.)

A Samsung Galaxy A52! I used to be one of them rooty-tooty custom ROM boys, but I finally gave up when all of my banking apps started detecting Magisk. Now I use the stock OneUI firmware with a custom ad-blocking DNS (dns.adguard.com) and uBlock Origin in Firefox. I'm still receiving updates, the software is still as smooth as it was when I first got it. Battery life is slowly deteriorating though. The bloat is minimal. Not gonna lie, I've come to love OneUI more than the old ROMs I was using (big fan of Resurrection Remix), it's full of usability-improving features that just make life easier. I was skeptical at first because I absolutely hated the old TouchWiz interface, but now I prefer it to the stock Android experience.
