We're still working on publishing the results of the census we ran a few months ago (sample size of around 600, where most users were from our Lemmy/Piefed instances)

Here is the graph for the phone question, exact numbers pending final cleanup:

We will also be fixing the data labels to be less terrible

iPhone 15 here. I gave up on android because Google seemed obsessed with borrowing the most annoying UI features from iOS and just doing them poorly.

Now I’m on the other side and don’t like it here either.

Next phone will be a dumb phone, I think. If my toys always make me angry they’re not good toys for me.

You got me, I have GrapheneOS on a pixel 8a. Seems like Android's only getting worse, so I'm going to do my best to never go back now. I've had it for nearly a year and I'm super happy with it, everything works just the way I want it. My only concern is the small battery meaning it often only has 30% charge left by the end of the night.

I use Ubuntu Touch on Fairphone 4 with Nextcloud backup (self hosted).

/e/os on Fairphone 6

Motorola with their nearly-stock Android.

Excited about upcoming Motos with Graphene, though =]

S24 Ultra. Will be my last Android with the way things are going.

Being on an iPhone for 11 years and then going to Android was a jaw dropping experience.

But now no more sideloading and Nova Launcher went to shit with ads after the owners sold (out).

Pixel 9 with Graphene OS. I don't really bother with backups besides my personal photos since there's nothing critical on my phone. But I use immich for photos hosted on my unraid server.

I do have two backup Raspberry Pis, one at my house and one at a friend's, that my photos and other critical data is backed up to daily.

Just switched to Graphene on a refurbished 10 Pro XL
Prior to that was a RedMagic 10 Pro

Oppo Reno 12, running on Android - via Oppo's "ColorOS", which is ok.

Fairphone 6 with Android. Waiting for Motorola+GrapheneOS phone.

Librem 5.

Cons: Storage and RAM small.

Pros: I haven't seen a single other phone I would rather own. Android and iOS are dumb as hell. Terrible OSes, in my opinion.

I want a Liberty Phone but can't justify the money. This works well enough for me. I will almost certainly be buying the L5 successor.

I honestly don't know. When my phone dies I go to the nearest phone store and ask for the cheapest android phone they have in stock. They ask me what brand I want, what features are important to me--cheapest. They warn me that the phone isn't as good as OtherPhone's--cheapest. And the battery...--cheapest.

If I had to venture a guess I'd say it's a Redmi? And I suppose it's bad.
It was 150€ 4 years ago. I can't fathom sinking 500€ on a phone.

I'm on a Z Flip 😅 so nah you're not the only one on stock Android. I want to grab a Pixel and switch to GrapheneOS, but I'll have to wait until I can afford a new phone and when this one bites the dust since I only got it about a year ago. I unfortunately only found out about Android ROMs and got into cybersecurity shortly after I bought it

I keep buying motorolas because they're rugged as fuck. I get a new one every 3-5 years. They're all the same-ish these days, and rarely come with any sort of incentive or discount, so it doesn't make sense to refesh too often. I try to get my money's worth from my devices.

Can't tell you how many samsungs my kids have broken, but both of their motos still work.

GrapheneOS on a Pixel 8a

Pixel 6a stock

Sony Xperia 1 IV. Their naming scheme is terrible.

Main reason is because I wanted a future-proof, flagship phone with a headphone jack and micro SD card slot. Both have proven very useful, and I am still kind of in shock that most manufacturers have dropped them.

Stock android. Still using the NoVa launcher because I haven't had the free time to try out others, plus my pi-hole seems to block the ads they have been introducing for now.

The Xperia has a weirdly narrow screen. I like it in a vacuum better than todays phablets, but I think the occasional webpage scales weirdly.

Stock Pixel 7 here.

I have GrapheneOS on a Pixel 9a with everything backed up over NextCloud on a headless Ubuntu rackmount server.

You were waaaaay off 😆

Grapheneos on my pixel 9, perfectly complements my PC with Arch :3

/e/os/ on a Motorola One 5G Ace.

iPhone with plans to switch to GrapheneOS on a pixel soon.

I have an iPhone Air after renewing my cell plan this year. Its alright

I also have a OnePlus 6T running PostmarketOS but I use it more for tinkering than as a daily driver right now

Pixel 6 pro with Graphene OS

I'd love to be using GrapheneOS, but I refuse to lower my standards to a sub-par device, and certainly wouldn't pay the Google tax for the privilege. So I'm currently using a Galaxy Note9 with NobleROM while hoping against all logic that the Motorola + GrapheneOS partnership doesn't spit out another useless wet fart of a device.

I'm a scrub using stock Android also. Well, technically stock Samsung, whatever flavor of Android they call that nowadays. In my defense, saying that I "use" my phone at all is generous. I avoid the digital ball-and-chain like the plague, only touch it when I have to (like when some foolish family member calls me). None of my important data, passwords, or accounts will ever touch it unless they give me literally no other choice.

Galaxy xcover 6 pro. Still have both 3.5mm jack and replaceable battery.

Galaxy A14, which was the only new phone I could afford for 140 Euros (+ 50 Euros for the 512 GB microsd card) that offered the longest security updates.

Thought of getting an used Pixel 2XL and install (now defunct) divestos on it, but then the battery would be certainly dead and didn't want to risk replacing it myself.

GrapheneOS on a refurbished pixel 10 from ebay

Using a one plus nord n30 5g with lineage os. It's a super budget phone. Looks like us one plus users are in the minority here.

Stock? Nah.

I have something like a dozen tablets and phones stacked on my desk. I get new ones, but the old ones have enough life in them that I don't just count them as ewaste and wash my hands of them. Only two of those have current lineage available, and I can't be arsed to update what amounts to a picture frame that isn't connected to Wi-Fi. The rest get used as security cameras for very short term use.

Most of them still have the os they came with as, again, I can't be arsed to fiddle with the ones that I could dig up a rom for, or they couldn't be unlocked to do it in the first place. But none of them were ever stock Android. Since when I got them, I favored Samsung and LG tablets, the ui was highly altered from regular AOSP.

Now, my main phone? My absolutely amazing friend gifted me a pixel with graphene ready to go as soon s it reached me. But I do still use some play store apps on it, when I can't find something good enough that isn't (nothing touches poweramp, and I haven't had the budget to put towards a licence for it from the dev, yet. Higher priorities).

Never touched a pi unless it was a pie being shoved down my throat.

Ngl though, if I wasn't lazy as fuck, I'd likely swap to lineage on my older oneplus that's my backup phone. Just don't feel like dealing with the time it would take. So it's as stock as it was when I got it a few years ago. I doubt I'll ever do it unless I get a newer graphene device and it gets retired to the desk for infrequent uses. That's how I end up with a still working Galaxytab 2 lol. Barely still working tbh.

iPhone 15 pro max

I have a pixel 6 pro running the stock OS. I will run it until it is on its last legs and decide where to go next. To use banking and government apps here, I'm somewhat limited in my choices.

Pixel 8 stock, haven't gotten around to Graphene OS yet and a little worried it won't work with my bank/credit card apps. I think I can revert to stock if things don't work for me so I might try soon.

I really miss my LG G8 though.
