I personally have no loyalties and will go wherever the good deals and specs are! That’s currently with the S23 Ultra thanks to a ridiculously good trade-in promo, but I’ve previously used LG, Sony, OnePlus, Motorola, Nexus, Pixel, and HTC devices. With that said, I also don’t often feel as much of a need to upgrade anymore, unless someone in the family needs a hand-me-down.

There’s really no real reason to stay loyal to a brand when you’re using Android. If you like a particular OEM’s UI or a feature they provide, good for you! If not, then there’s literally no reason not to switch brands. It’s not like your apps won’t work or your contacts won’t move over.

The only brand I’ll ever be loyal to is my mother’s cooking

I HAD been loyal to OnePlus for as long as they were friendly to enthusiasts, developers, and explorers of various firmware.

Now I’m on the hunt for a brand that provides those things as OnePlus has moved in a different direction.

I’m loyal to my wallet

I think your brand loyalty should always stay as close to zero as posible, it’s not your job the keep buying their product, it’s theirs.

I’ve only had Oneplus or Samsung for the last decade, used to love the quirks of the former and love the extra features like EdgePanels and GoodLock on the latter.

In the coming months I am hoping to get a Zenphone 10 assuming it works okay on TMobile in the US

I’m devoted to Sony, can’t switch to anything else… they’re the only one watching all the features I care about

Loyal to Pixel line because Google has me wrapped around their finger. I love them though

I don’t care about brands because I have a set list of requirements and I’d not have found a new phone if I’d stuck to my first brand.

I was a Samsung loyalist, up until my current phone, the Note 20 Ultra. Their decisions since then have me questioning what’s out there for the first time in my life. There is almost NO significant differences between Android phones anymore once they stripped away what made them unique - hardware superiority (e.g., SD card slot, magstripe payment, etc.) with solid software. Had they kept their $0.50 pieces of hardware, they’d have whatever the profit margins of the upcoming S24U would be from my wallet, and probably more valuable to them, blind loyalty without brand curiosity.

But at this point, I’m just waiting for more reviews for the Sony Xperia I V.

Brand loyalty is dead to me

I just get whatever has the best bang for my buck around with good custom ROM support every 3-4 years

When my Motorola G8 Power ROM scene slowed down, I upgraded to a Redmi Note 10 Pro (256/8 version) for $220 and fully intend to stick to with this phone until I finish college

I’m loyal to good products.

For a while I was a bit of a OnePlus “fanboy”. The OnePlus One was an amazing phone for someone like me. I liked it so much that at one point everyone at home had one (4 in total). It was much better and cheaper than anything we had used until that point. Then I got a 3T and OnePlus was going down hill… promises of improvements that never came, Carl Pei fking lying, so that was it. I learned my lesson. My next phone was a Galaxy S10 and when that broke, I managed to get a good deal on a OnePlus 8 Pro and since it was cheaper and it had official LineageOS support, it was a good option.

I have no idea what my next phone will be. Maybe Asus Zenfone. Maybe some Xiaomi/Poco. Maybe OnePlus. Heck, if Google improves their SoC, maybe I can get a Pixel. I know I won’t back to Samsung as I like to tinker with my devices, but as long there’s some modding going and the brand is not hostile to modding, I’m open to consider it.

No brand loyalty. First thing I primarily look at is what the history of update support has been for the brand, and then what the custom rom scene is like if that’s an aspect I feel like exploring. Finally it’s price, but if a phone has had subpar update support and doesn’t even have a thriving custom rom scene then it’s dead to me no matter what it promises.
