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.)

Sony Xperia 1 III. I updated every 2 years until last year when I bought this one at a severe discount. Got fed up with Chinese phones and their severe lackluster software. Also into cameras so this one was a right fit. Has many issues but I like it. Been doing this since my iPhone 4 and I don't miss Apple at all. I love the openness of android and the ability to tinker.

Also have the Sony earbuds which I much prefer over the Galaxy Buds Live I used to own (came for free when I bought the S21 for the missus). Apart from that, only an android tablet (S7+).

On paper Sony phones always sound amazing, but their prices always seem insanely high, especially considering that they don't get many software updates.

Hardware-wise Sony earbuds and phones are probably the best in the game

I agree. If it wasn't for the discount, I'd never have gotten one. That said, it still is a very good even if the software doesn't quite keep up.

Also, I don't think I can go back to actual AI photography - I'm really into the craft and I don't know, the results from this phone are just way more natural than anything I see out of an iPhone or Pixel, even if sometimes it can't keep up (low light, etc).
