CAT S22 Flip as my daily driver. I also don't really use my phone for content consumption anymore; I just need the basics + hotspot.
"Best phone" doesn't really exist for me in the smarphone era because they've all been compromises. If my OnePlus 3 had a slide out QWERTY keyboard, it would probably qualify, though.
I liked my Motorola One Vision, 21:9 source ratio was a banger, lots of screen real estate and the phone fit in the hand nicely, vanilla Android was cool, I hate the iPhoney flavor of Android my current OnePlus has, only downsides was:
Currently a Note 8, my favorite was the Note 4. I love big phones lol. I have fat fingers and I just really liked it. My least favorite was the iPhone. I got an iPhone 2 awhile ago and even jail breaking it wasn't enough for me to like it. I actually had that phone until a few months ago. I was using it as an alarm clock (that's literally all it could do), but the battery broke the screen, so 🤷🏿♀️
Note 8, wow that old? Does that even work nowadays, the updates must had killed the ram
I'm going to have to replace it. 😮💨 It's to the point where I can't update apps because it's too old. And it takes ages to send anything. But it's served me well.
Do you use the pen often?
Nope. Lost it ages ago.
I have the Samsung XCover 6 pro. Solely because it has replaceable batteries. Kinda a bad camera but I dont take a lot of photos so it doesnt matter to me.
I have had 3 brands. One I cannot remember, ZTE, and Samsung. Samsung has been the best I've had. My A71 has been my best phone so far. I'd say my A15 is the best, but I only had it maybe a month or two before accidentally going swimming with it.
Current: Asus zenfone 9 favorite: Nextbit Robin
such a perfect phone for the price. Wish they made something like it now
Currently have Pixel 9 Fold, it's ok
Best is probably HTC G2. Still waiting for HTC to make a G3
Lenovo ThinkPhone. I like it. Very tough, fast, and good battery life.
Current: S24U, Moto Razor 2023+, Pixel 8 Pro.
Best phone: Probably the LG V20 or V30. Can't remember which.
Currently g42 hawao with calyxos, best past one was nexus 6
Currently on a CMF phone 1.
Best phone is a tie between Nokia E70 or the HTC Dream. Suitable form factors and physical keyboards <3
Pixel fold
V60
Best phone ever made, headphone jack, beautiful sound, perfect screen, had the extra screen if you wanted, did everything, microsd, no bullshit software, still had docked mode.
Had the z fold 3, was OK, but it was really way too skinny to use folded, and unfolding it all the time was a pain, the pixel fold really nailed the form factor.
Shame google makes garbage software, Samsung put infinite bloatware, but they also had docked mode and charge limit, which this crap doesnt. OTOH at least I can read and use it folded.
Currently using a Moto G Stylus 2020, this thing has never had major updates pushed, and the last security one was a while ago, it's pretty decent but has gotten much slower over time and is probably near the end of its life.
The best phone I had was an iphone 7, it was originally terrible, but the it was iOS 12? (13?) that came out and it was so much better. Like you would have major performance issues with this thing before the update, Apple was probably at their peak around then. I stopped using it because it was vendor locked to Sprint, and sprint stopped existing in my area when T Mobile bought them out
I've owned a total of 3 smartphones in my life. The very first one I got was an Alcatel Evolve. I got that in 2017 I want to say. It was a budget phone, just enough to get the job done and had it for roughly 5 years. I ended up smashing it in 2021 because by that point, it's performance has slowed to a crawl and it's battery life was poor to the point where it could not be used anymore for daily use.
To replace it I got a Samsung Galaxy A02s, another budget-line phone and it is still around me today. Not quite as good as it was the first year I had it for and it's only purpose is to give me entertainment during breaks and meal times at work.
Alongside it, my current and best phone that's my primary is the Samsung Galaxy A32-5G. Because of how much I spent on it, I gave that phone an Otterbox protection and it has done wonders since there were times because of my stupid coat pockets, it'd fall about a couple feet from the pocket to the concrete flooring at work. It is used for everything, almost.
