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 buy a non-flagship android you may get zero updates. I’m not hating on Android, but the update situation remains a joke for most Android phones.

      That’s simply not true. Most 200 to 300 phones get a couple Android version updated and 3 or more years of security updates. You also can’t compare an iPhone to a non flagship. iPhones themselves are flagship devices.
