The Google Pixel 4a!!! I finally had an OLED screen with better colors! Finally had 128gbs of storage. The size is perfect!!! Still use it as a car music player when there is no signal. We need more under 6 inch screen size phones!

I fucking loved my 4a. It was perfect. Sucked when it got a bit wet and ceased to function

Essential phone was a huge flop but man was it a nice phone. Ignoring the poor radio issues it had everything you could want plus the ability to attach accessories like 360 camera. And it was almost perfect one hand use sized.

Loved my essential. After moving to a OnePlus 7t pro when Essential died, I’m trying the Nothing phone 2 now and the design language feels very reminiscent of the essential. Just big, but apparently that’s unavoidable now :/

Pixel 4a for sure, I love smaller size phones and the 4a is perfect in size.

Yep.

I’m actually upgrading to a Pixel 5 in a few weeks! Lol.

Great size, lighter than many, great specs, and I can run DivestOS on it. And it’s less than $150

That’s what I have too. Performance never dropped. I’ll keep until I have no other choice.

My Pixel 5.
I can run GrapheneOS and I prefer the fingerprint reader on the back. And that style of fingerprint reader seems to work a lot better than the ones they put under the screen in the Pixel 6 and up.

I just upgraded to the Pixel 8 Pro when the Pixel 5 went out of official support. The screen fingerprint reader works fine. Where it is flawed is that it’s not as quick to unlock from the front. I’m looking forward to the greatly improved support period. Three years was ridiculously short. I know something like GrapheneOS is always an option, but I’m hesitant to do so when I don’t have a backup phone.

The Pixel 8 Pro has been treating me well. Great photos and video, snappy UI, good feature set. And it sounds like I’ll be getting feature drops for the next few years, so that’s nice. The battery life is good. I added on Peak Design’s case and mini tripod, so I can quickly set it up on a surface to take videos or make a video call.

Why the 2015 cutoff? There were many awesome phones released prior to 2015.

My most-beloved would also probably be pre-2015. Miss the way you felt Blackberry boo.

Nokia XpressMusic was the best, just realized they released a new version of it a few years ago but only in some countries

I think they’re looking for modern-ish phones rather than nostalgia about Nokias
