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.)

Samsung Galaxy S7, international Exynos variant. LineageOS 20.

It used to be my dad's phone until I got to have it. It went through a slew of problems so I had to replace most of the phone with spare parts. It is no longer waterproof but I still love it. An exercise on giving planned obsolescence the middle finger and avoiding further polluting the planet with electronic waste.

I love it for its small size and crisp 1440p AMOLED display crammed into a 5.1 inch diagonal, it has both headphone jack and SD card support and it is so comfortable to use with one hand. Newer phones have changed mostly for the worse, with each year devices are more locked down and more useful features are being taken away.
