What phone do you use and why? (alien.top)

I have an ASUS Zenfone 8 and I love that even the latest version still has a 3.5mm out, but I just started poking around in the settings for my Samsung Galaxy tablet and realized that Samsung Galaxy devices get Dolby Atmos. (Movies have never been better!) It got me thinking, what phones do other auditorily-inclined people use? Does AptX/LDAC support matter to you? Does audio go into your purchasing decisions at all?

Which phone I use for personal audio doesn't really matter to me. As long as it's got a reasonable amount of storage for local playback, good wifi and cellular reception for remote streaming, and a USB-C port, I'm good.

I use external DAC-AMP dongles the vast majority of the time now. My current favorite is a Fosi DS2, but I've got three others to fallback on: a Jcally JM6 Pro, an Apple, and an ancient LeEco.
