I just love Android products. That's because they are not running any crappy Windows Operating Systems, and they don't sound like a fruit!But I only recommend using Android 2.3 and above products. I guess because you really should keep up with technology, like Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jelly Bean, KitKat, Lollipop, Marshmallow, Nougat, Oreo, Pie, Android 10, Android 11...
Anyway, below are the mobile devices I am currently using / have used:
Phones
Model: XiaoMi Mi 10T 5GOS: Android 11
Date bought: 21 December 2020
Date sold/given away: Not Yet!
Why I like it: Again, XiaoMi has attracted me to another of its phone, with great specs and great value for money!
Model: XiaoMi Mi 9OS: Android 9 Pie
Date bought: 28 January 2020

Model: XiaoMi Pocophone F1OS: Android 9 Pie
Date bought: 27 October 2018
Date sold/given away: Son using it currently
Why I like it: This phone is a great overall fast phone to use and as usual, well worth the money. This is current my "go to" phone for all my mobile needs!
Model: XiaoMi Mi Max 2OS: Android 7.1.1 Nougat
Date bought: 18 September 2017
Date sold/given away: Daughter using it currently
Why I like it: This phone is excellent for my mobile gaming, almost seamlessly and well worth the money. I also do some simple app programming on this phone!
Model: XiaoMi Mi NoteOS: Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow
Date bought: 23 June 2015
Date sold/given away: February 2020
Why I like it: This phone has excellent processing power, much faster than the Mi4i and again with all XiaoMi phones, well worth the money than any other phone with similar specs. And the phone has a very nice grip to it!
Model: XiaoMi Mi4iOS: Android 5.0.2 Lollipop
Date bought: 19 May 2015
Date sold/given away: 24 July 2016
Why I like it: This phone is slimmer and faster and well worth the money than any other phone with similar specs. Well done again!
Model: XiaoMi Redmi Note 4GOS: Android 4.4.4 KitKat
Date bought: 2 December 2014
Date sold away: 18 June 2016
Why I like it: Same as why I like the 3G version below, but with 4G, my data plan is much faster! And cheaper than any other phone with similar specs. Well done!
Model: XiaoMi Redmi 1SOS: Android 4.3 Jelly Bean
Date bought: 14 October 2014
Date sold away: 24 August 2018
Why I like it: The XiaoMi Redmi Note was basically soaked in water because the waterproof bag that I put the phone inside leaked. So, goodbye Redmi Note and hello Redmi 1S, the cheaper and smaller alternative from XiaoMi! It is really a very good and decent phone.
Model: XiaoMi Redmi NoteOS: Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean
Date bought: 15 July 2014
Date damaged beyond repair: 11 October 2014
Why I like it: The Samsung Galaxy S3 was lagging a lot lately, and then it so happened that the Redmi Note was heavily promoted on the XiaoMi Singapore facebook. So I thought I gave it a try since it was the cheapest new phone I had ever bought with 5.5 inch display. And it did not disappoint! Although it was from a China mobile phone company, the functionality was comparable to international standards. Well done!

Date bought: 15 October 2013
Date sold away: 7 September 2014
Why I like it: My wife's phone "crashed and burned", so I gave her my HTC One X and bought a 2nd hand Samsung Galaxy S3. Features aren't too bad, nice replacement phone, not running any crappy Windows OS and it doesn't sound like a fruit.
