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 love the idea of fairphones but from what I’ve gathered they’re kinda crap for the price if you don’t count the moral benefits aren’t they?

      Do they do video over USB C/thunderbolt? Am quite interested in having a device I can plug in and use as a desktop in a pinch

        They do displayport over usb c I think. I almost got one a few months ago, or a pixel, but choked at the cost. Ended up with a Motorola Edge 40 and while it’s fine, I wish I’d just spent a bit more and got a phone I actually wanted.

      I’ve been thinking about Fairphone, but the 5 isn’t available in the US to my understanding, unfortunately, and the 4 is a serious downgrade spec-wise.
