Xperia 1V. Yes I paid flagship money for a Sony phone because of the headphone jack. No it doesn't overheat.

I imported an Xperia 10 IV about a month after launch. It's a brilliant form factor, but I'm very sad that it doesn't look like sailfish will ever arrive for it.
Nevertheless, I'm glad I bought it - and like you say, the headphone jack gets used frequently enough that you'd miss it if it wasn't there.
Where did you import your Xperia from? I got myself pretty sold on getting one but totally forgot that Sony don't sell phones in Aus anymore. Such a shame. I really want an sd card slot & headphone jack.
Pixel 6a running GrapheneOS. I was expecting to waste a weekend setting it up but I've been blown away with how good the user experience is. The only pain point I've had is not being able to run my banking app without Google services installed.
Right now I have a separate profile with sandboxes Google services installed which is unfortunate but gets the job done!
Z fold 3. It was not worth the price, but it's not a bad phone by any means.
I've seen a surprising amount of people carrying around a Fold 3 where I work.
Razer Phone 2. I probably should get something newer, but I need something rootable at a bare minimum, and preferably not Samsung.
Second hand Pixel 6 Pro with Graphene OS (don't give your money to Google!)
Pixel 7 Pro here.
I'm also here on a Pixel 7, lots of my die hard android friends are also on Pixels as well.
I moved from the Note to a Pixel 1 and haven't looked back. I kept the Pixel 1 until it would not turn on anymore. I just feel in love with the simple clean Android install. After that I got a Pixel 4XL and a few months later my wife finally gave in and I got her a Pixel 5.
A couple of months ago my wife dropped her 5 and just cracked the shit out of her screen. So I ordered her a Pixel 7, which she loves. Unfortunately not even a week later my Pixel 4 XL died. It won't hold a charge without being plugged in. I didn't want to spring for two new phones so close together, so I grabbed my wife's old S8. I couldn't take it. All the stupid Samsung specific apps. The inability to remove Facebook or Bigsby drove me nuts. I ended up just using her Pixel 5, broken screen and all over the S8. Hoping to get enough cash to order a 7 pro for myself soon.
I'll be sure to let everyone know when I do order a 7, because of history repeats itself like with my last two Pixel purchases, the Pixel 8 will be announced the next day.
Fairphone 4. Works well with CalyxOS. Stock software updates aren't that great.
I also have a OnePlus Nord CE 3 5g or something like that, the pastel colored one. Nice little phone.
I can't do OLED phones due to eyestrain, so my options are limited.
Pixel 6a - was happily using a Pixel 5a 3 weeks ago, until it had a spontaneous motherboard failure 🙃. Google replaced it with a 6a, I'm still annoyed the 5a can become a brick with no warning but I'm very happy with the 6a so far and plan to stick with it until the OS updates stop.
I have an s23 ultra and I love it to bits. Has everything I could possibly want on a phone. Transferred my mathematica license to my phone in my linux environment
Redmi K30 Pro. Love the pop up camera and the full screen display with no stupid notch or hole punch. Have no plans to replace it any time soon since I just replaced the battery and everything else is still good as new.

Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) with lots of replacement parts running LineageOS. Still a solid daily driver.
Sadly there are very little modern options of suitable small Android phones.
The S23 Ultra. Left the S22+ because of how bad the battery life was (thanks Qualcomm) but loving my S23U.
the one downside is size. it's massive^.
Same! Bit too large but I wanted all the cameras.
Came from a Note 9 and it still feels a lot bigger.
Pixel 7 Pro.
Tried an S22 Ultra but couldn't get over the ads all over the OS, pre-installed bloatware, and the terrible camera shutter lag ):

I am on a Pixel 7 Pro with GrapheneOS. I am absolutely happy with that device. The battery lasts about 3 days for me. I like the work the GrapheneOS team is doing. All those privacy and security enhancements are great to have.
On Google Pixel sub, they often complain about battery. Is the three days because of Graphene OS?
Pixel 6 with just the stock software.
Honestly, I don't think I could never go "back" to a 3rd party Android device. The hardware might be great, but the clean software and fast software upgrades is was sold me back in the Pixel 3A days.
Same here, though a few peeps here posted about running GrapheneOS on the 6a and I might look at that soon.
It's been quite a seamless experience for me. Installation involved clicking buttons and waiting. I highly recommend if you want to move away from the Google ecosystem.

I might check it out as well! I also wanna checkout PostmarketOS one day.
Fellow Pixel 6a user here (with Graphene OS)! My gripes are mainly the 'rainbow effect' of the screen and the fingerprint sensor that doesn't work 10% of the time.
Pixel 7a. I recently moved to this from a Fold3. If the pixel fold has any sort of dex-like functionality, the pixel fold 2 will probably be my next phone.

Z4 Flip. I like the smaller footprint and since I don't take a lot of pictures I don't mind the downgrade in camera from my previous S22. And no, the fold don't bother me.
OnePlus 7Pro. Tempted for foldable but actually seeing what Nothing Phone 2 will be like. Beginning to think #eSim is needed for my future device
Also on a 7 pro here. It's peak smartphone. If it ever breaks I'm more likely to attempt a repair or get another second hand 7 pro than to "upgrade" to a newer device.
I have an S23. I really enjoy it, but I'm also curious about the Zenfone 10. I really wanna see Asus succeed in their niche so I can have a great option next time around I get to upgrading.
Redmi K20 Pro (or Mi 9T Pro). Running Evolution X A13. Love it still. Probably next Pixel if they make it compact as I desperately wish for a small phone
Motorola Edge 30 Pro, solid, nice display, nice price, nice OS
S21U. Haven't found anything super compelling to upgrade to yet.
S23. I had been using a Pixel 4a previously and was hesitant to use a Samsung phone because of all the hate One UI gets online, but I'm quite happy with the switch. The "bloat" is nowhere as bad as people make it out to be, and some of it actually very useful imo, like the side menu, much better multi-window, game mode, and routines. Expensive af compared to the 4a though.
OnePlus 6 running LineageOS with micro G.
Poco f2 pro Lineage OS 19.1
Fairphone 4 with DivestOS
Oneplus 10 pro. Was planning on moving away from Oneplus, but I got it cheap.
Pixel 7 Pro on 14 beta on tablet DPI, awaiting my Pixel Fold.
Droid 4. Love that keyboard. It barely functions as a cell device now that 3g has been shut down though. I just use it as a wifi device / tiny laptop.
