Hey there. We already have the thread about the first phone anyone owned, so why not discuss what we currently use?

I own an iPhone X. It's a great phone! I got it around the launch last year. Coming from that phone, I had a 7 Plus. I didn't want to upgrade, however, I decided to so I could record in 4K@60fps. I do wish they made it in a Plus size..oh well, I'm not upgrading for another year anyways lol.

How about you guys? What phone do you guys use? What do you like about it? What do you dislike about it?

Huawei Mate SE, because I prefer Android to iOS, I mainly use phones as glorified PDAs, I don't need a phone that costs more than half of my gaming PC, and because fuck the [US] government for their baseless accusations of Huawei spying.

How is the edge screen on that? My friend has one and like, hates that part of the screen. Says it's distorted. Do you think so too?

are you talking about the note? I dont have that one, I just have the regular S7... years ago I wanted it but I asked my brother-in-laws opinion on it and he showed that there were issues of accidentally touching it when he didnt mean to. I thought it was cool but I decided against getting it when I finally bought the phone.

I dont really know how to answer you question since no one in my family has one either.

No, the S7 lol. Upon looking it up, there is an edge version. I guess that's the one they have. Oops! My bad. I guess it must be a good design choice now that its on the newer ones too.

And that's still a good phone! I've learned over time that the longer you have your phone, the better the next one can be! You know...as far as how new it feels. I already feel bad for upgrading from a 7 to a X last year...but I lost a bet. >__<

Essential PH-1

Likes:

  • Costed me $250 on Prime Day which is pretty unbeatable for a 2017 flagship
  • Got Android P 12 minutes after Google official release. Android fragmentation is a meme.
  • Looks and feels like a premium phone.
  • Amazing battery life.


Dislikes

  • T-Mobile reception is still spotty AF. Middle of downtown and I get interesting dBm levels.
  • Camera is a far cry from the Pixel 1/2 even with the Gcam apk sideload.
  • Notch space is kinda useless in a lot of apps.
  • No headphone jack. Adapter is decent and I have a pair of Bluetooth headphones as well.


Honestly for $250 I can't complain. It's a fine phone that does what I need it to do.

For $250 it's an amazing phone, I was very tempted to pick it up but the import and custom charges made it meh. Over here it was still well over 450-500 pounds on Prime day which was absolute bs.

Currently the one with the sim card is a Galaxy S9+. It's a great phone, fast, can watch all my weeb 1080p hi10p easily without the CPU going over 100%. That's pretty much all I care about, all other stuff is a bonus. However, I still use my S7 more than I do the S9+, even though it doesn't have network data. It's just that good of a phone.

Oof. Even for a phone released in 2015, the Y560 looks old.

Using Prime for a good few years now, it's more-so the rest of the shenanigans. If the rom support was a bit better I'd probably stick to custom ROMs but it's a bit hit or miss on the P9.

iPhone5 S, it was a hand me down, and I like it since it's easy to use though the small screen is a bit eh to use, but overall good, not too bad.

The iPhone 5s is getting iOS 12 and you should see a really awesome speed increase with it.

I must be the opposite haha. I have the XZ1 compact and the wifi and bluetooth were so broken on that thing. But thankfully after months and months, they've patched it up or it just magically started working again.

The battery life I feel isn't quite as legendary as I was hoping from the 720p display. The averages I'm getting are 1d 5hrs with just under 4 hrs of screen-on time.

That said, it's a compact flagship, and there's not many of its kind out there.

It's hard to play any game or type on it.

Wasn't there a thread like this a few years back? Oh well

I currently use a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. It's a hand-me-down from my mom since she got the new S9 (which she got the screen cracked in under 2 months btw).

Xiaomi Redmi 4x. For 125€, its a really nice phone. I dont have any problems with MIUI UI (even if it can be a mess sometimes) and the games I play daily run well without problems (and it doesnt burns like hell), so I can't say anything bad.

Kill me.

I ran a nexus 4 for 4 years until its memory was practically degrading before my eyes. android threw me into a safe mode one time basically telling me my device has problems. the worst was it randomly getting stuck in sleep. kept missing calls and alarms wouldn't go off. tbh I only put up with it for so long because I loved the phone in the first place. I'm guessing your phone has one foot in the grave already.

Main phone: Huawei Honor 9 64gb

Secondary phone: Nexus 4, back glass is broken because battery is swollen. Maybe I should upgrade it to something. Before that I had Nexus 5 but it kinda died.

Third phone: Nokia N93i with prepaid sim. It's an old high end smartphone from 2007, I don't really use it that much.

Tbh, I haven't really run into those things. The battery on mine though is absolute crap, it drains in almost the blink of an eye. It will also randomly turn off and take forever to turn back on. I also think the power on/off button is starting to go out.

Other than that though I guess it's been a pretty good phone and I probably won't replace it until it's literally unusable.

Moto G5+ from Motorola, and totally satisfied with it. It's good at catching the network, battery lasts very long, very quick to recharge it, everything else in the specs is more than what I need, it feels responsive and nice to use.

All of that for a very decent price tag, worth every penny.

I have a ZTE Blade Z Max and I like it well enough. 6 inch screen, darn nice rear and front cameras, and also has a octacore CPU at $130 isn't bad in my book.
