    What phone are you using?

    Following in the footsteps of Captain2Phones, I am simultaneously using a Google Pixel 6a and a OnePlus 7 Pro.

    Are you happy with it? What are its best and worst qualities?

    Pixel 6a is the best phone I’ve ever used, including flagship iPhones. I love the camera bar design and the whole look of the phone’s rear while I don’t particularly like the chunky bezels and the hole punch. I have been spoilt by the fantastic uninterrupted curved display (yes, you read it right. I like curved screens) of the OnePlus 7 Pro. It’s smooth and the cameras are great. I love the animations and the overall look of Material You. It’s a really good phone.

    As for the OnePlus 7 Pro, it was the best phone I had ever used until they ruined it all with their subpar software updates which made the phone literally a chore to use. I still use it and like it, but the experience it heavily marred by the atrocious software experience of the new OS which is nothing like OxygenOS.

    Which phones have you had previously? Which were the best and worst of the lot?

    Have had flagship iPhones for several years until I got the OnePlus 7 Pro. The Pixel has to be the best phone, a shitter Micromax that I had a decade ago has to be the worst.

    How often do you upgrade to a new phone?

    Every 2/3 years.

    What other Android ecosystem devices do you have? Watches, headphones/earbuds, etc.

    Not a big fan of smartwatches. Well, a big fan of the smartwatch tech, but not a big fan of wearing one over a traditional watch. Have several fitness bands made by Android OEMs (though none of them run Android) and several true-wireless earphones and headphones by Anker and Soundpeats that I use with my Android devices as well as my Windows devices.

    Do you also use any Apple products, or are you Android all the way? (And/or Windows, Linux, ChromeOS, etc.)

    Not at the moment. But my next computer will be an MX Macbook Pro.
