What android phones do you recommend and why?

ALQ@lemmy.world to No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world – 111 points –

I'm upgrading because my phone is losing (lost?) support. I use a OnePlus 7 Pro and love it and wouldn't bother upgrading otherwise. I'd appreciate some recommendations of android phones you like, please.

Thank you in advance! (⁠.⁠ ⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠)

Non- phone carrier variants of Google Pixels because of Grapheme OS. The crap that Verizon pumps out blocks the boot loader to be unlocked, but the ones google and amazon sells can do OEM boot loader unlocks.

Edit: also want to point out, pixels usually get the most updates out of all androids. So long as its in the support window, google will update drivers and kernels for it.

The people behind GrapheneOS even extend the support. Currently rocking Android 14 with GrapheneOS on my Pixel 4a.

How? I have an 4a and it's on Android 13 and won't update.

Hm, I did nothing special. It came with the regular updates, some weeks ago.

Are we talking about the 4a or 4a (5g)?

4a (5g), of course maybe thats the reason.

Kk, thx. That it. So unfortinately no update for me. (You're next ;-) I'm going to keep my 4a though. I still like it.
