Many devices, one for the heart.
The Blackberry KeyOne. A tall touchscreen combined with the classic BB physical keyboard and running on Android. It was a great phone and I’d still be using it today if the battery didn’t die. I still haven’t adapted well to touchscreen keyboards.
It’s really too bad Blackberry got out of the mobile phone market. They were the only large corporation I truly felt I could trust with my data.
Not really, they always complied with data handover to governments. The London Riots in the late 2000s early 2010s Blackberry handed over data of the rioters. In order to stay in the middle east they had to set up dedicated servers to comply with intercept legislation
Pixel 4a for sure, I love smaller size phones and the 4a is perfect in size.
That’s what I have too. Performance never dropped. I’ll keep until I have no other choice.
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
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.
I think they’re looking for modern-ish phones rather than nostalgia about Nokias
Nokia XpressMusic was the best, just realized they released a new version of it a few years ago but only in some countries
Xperia Compact 1-3 were probably my favorites.
Oneplus 6t. Still use it today, in fact typing this comment on it. Been great with custom Roms, has Android 13 on it with newest security updates installed (November 2023). Cost me $75. People look at me weirdd when i say that.
My OnePlus 7 Pro! I used it for 3 years and I wouldn’t have changed phones if the battery was still able to get through the day. I got a Galaxy Fold 4 after it because wanted something without a hole punch camera, but it’s been nothing but trouble. It’s been mailed out for repair under warranty again for the second time in the year I’ve had it now, so I’m back to the 7 Pro, and it still holds up! I have Lineage OS on it now though because the last security patch OnePlus officially released is now over a year old.
Has to be my Xiaomi Mix 2S I bought in 2019. Selfie camera is at the bottom of the phone, which is weird, but at least it’s not a notch camera. Custom ROM support was amazing and it’s still a great phone.
Edit: Fingerprint reader on the back too. Always reliable unlike the OnePlus 7 Pro that has one in the screen that refuses to work 50% of the time.
Love the first 3 Mi Mix phones. Such cool devices.
I’d happily buy another one if it was as good as the 2S that I still use as my secondary phone.
Note 8. I have the Galaxy 22 Ultra and the camera is defective and makes everything blurry. Plus removing SD card and headphone jack is some bullshit.
Pixel 6 Pro!!! I love this thing with GrapheneOS on it!
Pixel 4a, all above have no headphone jack and are too huge
I’m still using a Oneplus 7 Pro with no plans to upgrade.
I still love mine. I’ve moved on but still fire this up from time to time just because pretty and comfy
The LG V40. Its this phone that flew under so many people’s radar despite offering a lot at the time. Also just getting it was hard because it never was offically sold where I live.
Also the Huawei Mate 10 (not the Pro). Its such a cool device, again not officially sold here. Its this really neat phone from 2017 with really slim bezzels but also a big 6" 16:9 aspect ratio display (which is amazing for watching YT)
Samsung s8+. Just a gorgeous capable smartphone for its time.
Pixel phones. I’ve had the 2XL, 4a, 6 Pro, 7 Pro, and 8 Pro. Each one was better than the last. I know some people had manufacturing problems and the Pixel 3 had memory issues. But I’ve been lucky and never had issues. And the software experience is exactly what I want. Call Screening is awesome.
Can only pick one!
I thought it was obvious: Pixel 8 Pro Each Pixel is better than the last, so whichever has been latest is the one closest to my heart.

I haven’t used the Pixel Fold
That’s only three phones. LG V10, LG V20 and Galaxy XCover 6 Pro
V10. Easily. That was peak-smartphone design as far as I’m concerned. Felt like you could pound nails with it.
Yeah, the V10 was such a cool device. Sad that so many died due to bootlooping
Nokia 9 pureview. It was the last Nokia phone that felt “premium” to me.
