What smartphones are people using nowadays? (lemm.ee)

My phone's just bitten the dust and now I need to look for a new one again.

Thought I'd test the waters and see what kinds of phones people on here are using nowadays and what for, what features set them apart if any etc

Bonus points if anyone's managed to get mainline linux running on them either via KVM or bare metal

Edit: Thanks for everyone who talked about their choices of phone, I am now writing this on a fairphone 4 and am quite happy with it so far.

I tried that once, but that one got lost and I was like "Yep, cheap shit it is"

Honestly the worst samsung A series shits from great heights on cheap off brand phones. They do pretty much everything I want except the whole tap to pay thing.

Unfortunately tap and pay is the one feature keeping me from using custom roms/rooting/linux. Very much like having multiple options incase my card doesn't work, forgotten my wallet etc

Get a Samsung S series FE (or Fan edition). They are usually cheaper versions of the flag ships with the same features but slightly lower specs.
