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.

I have a 22+

Why is the camera a bit shit? I was hoping for a lot more after I upgraded from a 5 year old much cheaper Chinese phone.

Mine blows away the camera on the iPhone 13 and 14 pro that I also have. Not really.sure what your talking about, it has better hardware and software than any 5yr old phone

Maybe on the ultra.

The camera is better. But only by a little.

I took photos of the same country and switched one day. The picture quality made me hard to tell which day I used which phone. My parents didn't even notice. This was on a tablet.

It's better I low light but not amazing. Looking at stars or anything dark is terrible.

Definitely over saturates photos even with the ai off. I have to drag the brightness down pretty much everytime I use it because it tries to make things brighter than they are and it loses information.
