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.

    If you live in the US and want something on a budget, I recommend last year’s Moto G Stylus 5G (the 2023). You can find it for around $250. For the price, you get:

    • More than adequate performance, especially at this price point (Snapdragon 6 Gen 1).
    • Adequate RAM (6GB)
    • Lots of storage (256GB)
    • Decent cameras (50MP + 8MP UW)
    • Great display (120Hz FHD+ IPS LCD)
    • Great battery life
    • Headphone jack(!)
    • MicroSD slot(!!)
