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.

Galaxy S10. Still rockin the headphone port.

S10e here, and...I'm not looking forward to giving it up, because I don't want a phone worse than this and they all are.

For me it's the vertical size, fits perfect in my hand and almost all newer phones are longer.

Mine replaced an S4 Mini. My S10e is still borderline too big IMHO and I'm unaware of anything currently on the market any smaller.

Galaxy S7 here, but it's probably getting replaced somewhere this year.

Ah I miss my S10 . It died end of last year, I was hoping to get a few more years out of it. I forgot I had already had the battery replaced and dropped it in water :(
