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.

Samsung Galaxy Z fold 4. I got it for a good price and just wanted to see what folding phones were like. It's pretty awesome. Just hope the durability holds up for a few years.

I'm running this. My friend got the original Fold, and she kept using it until the Fold5 came out and got that one. She still has the original and it's in good condition, so that bodes very well.

So far I like the Fold4. The big screen is nice for videos or even normal use (I have it open as I type this), but the small screen is fine for when you just need to see the time or something, and it fits in my pocket even better than the s2x ultra or whatever did.

Edit: typo
