Personal Which smartphone do you have?

Gauging smartphone use across Europe. In the USA, Apple still dominates hard.

Bonus question: is it in light mode or dark mode?

Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 Pro. I am not loyal to any brand necessarily, but I had another Xiaomi before that lasted over 5 years. It is actually very good condition. Even the battery still lasts for almost 2 days. Unfortunately it doesn't get any security updates anymore.

Light mode all the way. Dark mode is too hard to read for me when the letters are small like on a phone display. When I write code on the pc I use dark mode in the terminal and code editor.

I use the case that came with the phone. It's a simple grey plastic cover. Nothing special, but it works.

I have had a Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro for 5 years and it still works great!

Yep, that's exactly the one that I've been using for 5 years.
