So far in 2022 we’ve seen new phones from the likes of Samsung, Apple and Oppo, with Google confirming another Pixel was on our way soon and rumors swirling about the iPhone 14 as well. Every few months it seems like a new phone is just begging for us to be there.
but what does everyone do really Use around the Gizmodo Australia office? We did a little investigation. Here’s what we’re using and why.
The phones we’ll be using in 2022

I am now on an iPhone 13 which was a big step up from my old iPhone 8. I used to hold the 8 as the home button truther, but now I’m Face ID all the way. – lauren
Iphone 6

I use the world’s worst iPhone 6 because I constantly lose/break the phone so I can’t justify the money for a new one knowing the cycle will only repeat itself. Plus, I don’t use social media so don’t see the point with the latest/greatest camera or screen when I’m using it more functionally rather than for entertainment. – isabella

I’m on a Samsung a50 which I hate, but I have strict rules for buying a phone or else I’ll buy myself something shiny every year. Drive it until it breaks the gang. , Mateus

Right now I use the iPhone 13 Mini because the phones are huge. I’m serious. In fact, I’d be happy if I could make it smaller (the iPhone 5 was my preferred size). I love being able to use a phone with one hand for all purposes. I also liked the ASUS Zenfone 8, but I couldn’t find one. – zaku
Samsung Galaxy S20 FE

Me too, am a ‘run it’ till it breaks’ little girl. I recently upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy S20 FE after getting my Samsung Galaxy S9 back in 2018. I take really good care of my phones (I don’t leave them on), so mostly I’ve had them for the last four years. , I won’t upgrade mine until it becomes noticeable. Now I’m already behind with the S20 FE. – fiddle

I have this weird thing where I upgrade every even number for some reason? So I have 4, 6, 8, X and 12. – Josie
iphone 11

I had an iPhone 6 that I only upgraded when it finally broke a year after the 11 came out. The current plan is to land it in time for the iPhone 16. – David
iphone 13 pro max

in my review Of the 13 Pro Max I said it was huge. I thought I’d give it a due and haven’t held back since I did. It’s like having a small iPad in your pocket that takes kick-ass photos. Sorry Zac, the bigger the better for the phone. – Hope
google pixel 6 pro

I use two phones, and asking me to choose between the iPhone 13 Pro Max and the Google Pixel 6 Pro is like asking me to choose a favorite kid. They are so different that I cannot compare them. – Hope
