Favorite phone?
 
So guys, what's the most favorite phone y'all have ever owned? Is it the current, trendy phone that you own now, or maybe a previous phone you once had? How about the manufacturer?

My favorite phone was my RAZR back in like 2006-2007. I had the red one. I really miss flip phones because you could hang up on someone real quick like CLAT. However, I do really love my s8+ that I just got last month after having some crappy lg phone for 5 years.

Blue-colored Nokia 3100 was one of my favorites, being my first phone that I ever got. Back then it didn't have any fancy stuffs except of the fact that the screen has colors (compared to several monochrome phones in its day), the phone vibrates following the MIDI tune (in which I listens to over and over again that time), and that its cover can glow in the dark. At times I miss the phones that have this kind of design...

LG Nexus 4 which I still own. Kinda refuse to let it go.

I absolutely loved the Blackberry Bold 9900 and the Blackberry Tour. I was so sad when I had to give them up. I kept them for years.

The RAZR is what got me through the end of middle school and all of high school (because my mother refused to get me a smartphone until I convinced her enough it was time for one, and that was in 2013 after I graduated).

I had the red model, which IMO is the best color a device could have, especially with the material that it was made out of.

Probably the black Samsung Galaxy s5. I remember it being the phone I always wanted when it launched...although I didn't get one until last year haha. It works pretty well right now, and I like that it still has a removable battery, unlike newer Galaxies.

Lucario December 23rd, 2017 1:55 AM

Probably my noxia 7250, simply because I got it for free and it does everything I need. I liked my nexus 5 but, prefer the noxia because it's just simple and does everything I need. It looks stupid though.

I don't really know, I could say that my favorite phone is the one I currently have (LG G4) because it's the best that I've ever had but I also had an LG Cookie. That phone holds a special place in my heart for the fact that it got me through middle school, it was one of the first touchscreen phones and it was a gift from my grandfather who's not among us anymore, unfortunately.
It was not fast, it didn't have a huge internal memory, but the pictures it took were pretty good for the time, the battery lasted a full 2,5/3 days, and it was sturdy: I dropped it so many times and it never showed any signs of damage. I also installed a mod that replaces the original launcher with an iPhone themed one. I still have it, but the SIM card slot doesn't work anymore. :( RIP.

I loved my Nexus 5x when I had it for a while. Everything about it was great - the finger print sensor positoning, the screen size and the many custom roms available. Unfortunately it died randomly after a few months.

My current phone - the Mi 5 is pretty good. couldn't get the colour I wanted but nevertheless it's a good phone. IT has a decent dev community so I can flash custom roms again. Perfect screen size thats comfortable to use one handed.

Sheep December 24th, 2017 7:41 PM

My current iPhone 7! It's sleek and I love it/the OS a lot. Liked the iPhone 5S I used to have also since it felt comfortable in my hands and was just a gorgeous phone in general, but something happened to my battery after a while that made it drain within an hour or two from 100% > 0%. ):

The early 00s were a lawless time.

The phone which gave me a completely different experience altogether was when i got my first android. I got the Samsung Galaxy S. The screen was the smoothest i had used and android just killed it with that. No wonder Samsung has a series launched after that. It was way ahead o its competitors like Nokia N8. Moreover, the screen was ginormous for that time. Coming to think of it, it was only 4 inch.

Cordeline December 25th, 2017 4:51 PM

I have only had two (Nexus 6P and Galaxy S8+).

I'm conflicted because I like both. One important thing for me is the camera, and both have really good cameras. The 6P's HDR+ made some really beautiful photos in some cases, and the HDR on the S8+ is not so good, but I can take RAW photos which are fun to develop using the stock camera, which my 6P did not do.

The fingerprint sensor is definitely much more comfortable in the 6P. With the S8+, my hands are tiny, and when I reach it I end up smudging my camera all the time, which I hate. I have set up the eye recognition, but I just don't use it, I forget it's there, and am more used to the fingerprint sensor.

The S8+ has a more beautiful screen but it gets in the way when you are trying to type. I find myself typing letters that are to the edges of the screen accidentally all the time. This wasn't an issue on the 6P at all.

So... yup, I'm conflicted ^-^ haha. I think the S8+ has more interesting features and vendor apps than the 6P (the stock text recognition thing app has helped me tons), but sometimes, I wish my 6P didn't die on me.

My iPhone 4. Perfect size, best design and shape, just overall the best phone! Except that it broke lmao.

If I could get an iPhone 4 today but with the innards of an iPhone 8, that would be absolutely perfect. I have an iPhone SE for private now and an iPhone 5 for work - any later models are way too big for my tiny hands and pockets.... ):

I had a windows phone my freshman year of high school that I loved to death. Eventually it got to the point that it would overheat after a few minutes of use so I had to get rid of it. Now I've got a s7 edge and it's pretty good too, but chrome crashes on load a lot for no apparent reason.

sounds about right. its about 50/50 for me, but sometimes it works better if i close the tab and reopen it.

My first smartphone was a Windows Phone as well, and I couldn't have been more excited to have a device in the palm of my hand that I could use the internet with when I got it. Unfortunately, I outgrew it quickly because it was lacking on the apps, but it's definitely a great way to be introduced to smartphones if you're on a budget and can't afford an Android phone.

That's the exact same reason for why I have abandoned Windows Phone, I had a Lumia 610 which was gifted to me by my father and it has been my first smartphone for me as well. It was okay when I first got it, but I quickly noticed the inferiorness of the Windows Phone platform.
Most Android and iOS apps weren't available on the Windows Phone market and the ones that did have a Windows Phone version sucked most of the time. The phone itself was also slow, WhatsApp took a solid 40 seconds to open and it was a pain to use, I eventually replaced this phone with an iPhone 4S which was way better.

Honestly, the IPhone 4 was my favorite I currently have the IPhone 6s Plus and it's so delicate!!!

Went from an Apple fanatic to Android kinda person now.

I just don't like the new features in the IPhone's, very overrated in my opinion..

Brendino January 7th, 2018 11:32 PM

I've flip flopped between iOS and Android, and always find that I'm more comfortable with the Apple phones, even if I don't like their other products. Overall, I guess my favorite would be my current 8 Plus. Still a bit salty about them removing the headphone jack the past few models, but other than that I love everything about the phone (so far).

Hermione Granger January 8th, 2018 11:00 AM

My Samsung Amp prime, might be a budget smart phone, but it does what I want. Only negative is it doesn't run a nds emulator well.

My current OnePlus 5T is essentially the phone that I didn't even know I really wanted all along.

As someone who has been riding on the Google train ever since I've gotten the 5X, I've always been wary of purchasing any phone that didn't have Google's personal stamp on it. This is largely because the best part of owning a Google phone is having timely security updates and the fact that you always have an up-to-date version of Android so you can enjoy the multitude of features and customization months before everyone else does.

But then came the Pixel 2/XL. Again, everything I ever really wanted on a phone, but I feel like Google became their own enemy in a way with the rather exorbitant price tag. I had trouble justifying whether or not spending $800 would really be worth it in the long run. After all, I've spent $649 on my Nexus 6P and it has barely lasted me two years without showing significant signs of wear; would the same happen to the Pixel?

I've always known OnePlus for basically being what Google originally was: selling flagship-quality devices at significantly lower prices than the competition. The 5T really just checks so many boxes for me (screen size, bezeless, comfortable in the hand, screen quality/colour, and the biggest, BIGGEST thing: Battery!!), that it became harder and harder to ignore, especially as I compared this phone to others in its price range.

Sure, there were some compromises that I had to make, but tbh, this has became my favourite phone so far and I don't regret making the purchase at all.
