What mobile phone do you have and why?

I use Samsung Galaxy S21 and I am very satisfied.

I have been using my Samsung S10e since 2019. I've been using Samsung for a long time now but I was mostly drawn to this one because it was brand new at the time, had a punch hole front facing camera (one of te only ones back then), and it was samll enaugh to fit my hands (I like using my phone one handed). And of course it was cheaper than the S10

Samsung Galaxy S5, because I can't afford to upgrade.

you will probably be glad that someone answers you, 8 years after you made the post. I'm still using my Samsung s8, because it can record calls natively, with the default Samsung dialer.

Which is utterly cool!

I also use iPhone and as in my opinion, it's trending in always, easy to use, and about privacy features. iPhones tend to hold their worth pretty well. It’s easier to resell an iPhone than an Android mobile if you want an upgrade. Though some Android devices also hold their value pretty well, the cost of the upgrade is less distressing for iPhone users.

I am using Samsung Galaxy A50. I bought this phone on an online sale/offer.

Using a Nokia E6, just because I'm too cheap to buy a new iPhone :whistle:

@ansharose Well good for you, there’s no Vivaldi version for iOS anyway ^^

I used Redmi 8. The reason is that it has so many features other android phones does not have. It has good battery life with an averagely good camera

Nokia 130

Because I need something just in case I lose access to my landline and the Internet. I only use it as an alarm clock.

@ansharose I actually recently switched from my old iPhone 6 Plus to a Nokia 5.4.
Its not too expensive (it usually is compared to most other Nokia products, but it was on sale when I got it), and I like that it runs on regular android, as apposed to some other modification, like Samsung for example (alternative Android systems like CalyxOS and GrapheneOS are cool, I just don't like the extra bloat that some phones come pre-installed with).

@thescorb0 Does Nokia allow for rooting the phone meanwhile? I know they used to lock down their first Androids, but didn’t really catch up on any further development on this front.

Samsung Galaxy Note 20.

I currently have a flip-phone from LG. I use a phone for talking, I have computers and tablets for that "smart" stuff. Though when they can get them my employer is planning to give us all real phones (some rugged Samsung phone, forget the model but it didn't have Galaxy in the name).

XCover 5 maybe? I have the same, it's pretty good for most stuff I need at least. Pros are water/dust/impact resistant according to some ISO spec, and you can change the battery. Cons are it's a bit slow but that's fine for me, I don't game (much) on the phone, and no 5G (tinfoil-hatters rejoice!)

If your employer gets the XCover 5 Pro it has slightly better specs.

I have Samsung A22 LTE 4 GB RAM / 128 GB FLASH version. I've got it the last august cause I wanted to have a phone that has decent image stabilization and A22 has OIS on the main (48 mpix) camera module, so I could record a half-decent video without too much shaking. It's a budget phone and it seems to be the cheapest one that still has optical stabilization in some form. 90 Hz AMOLED screen is a plus too.

My full phone path is Nokia 5130 XpressMusic > Huawei U8500 > Sony Ericsson XPERIA mini (ST15i) > Sony XPERIA L > Asus Zenfone Go > Nokia 5.1 Plus > Samsung A22 LTE

I have used iPhone for many years. Then I dropped it and it stopped working and I borrowed old Xiaomi R6 for several months. And I didn't notice really big difference. Of course iPhone was better and yes, IOS is more cheerful, but Xiaomi is a budget phone, you can’t compare it with iPhone. Now, on the advice of my friends, I bought Samsung Galaxy S20. And I'm completely satisfied! I like the camera much more (my friend has iPhone 12, so I can compare), the performance is no worse at all, and the price is much lower. And here's the question. Why on earth should I overpay if I can buy exactly the same device, with approximately the same characteristics, much cheaper? Plus, the Android interface is much friendlier than IOS.

I got rid of the mobile because it was more trouble than it was worth. PAYG cost me £0.50 for one call, or as many as I wanted to make within 24 hours, which was never more than one. I got a new alarm clock that does not go tick-tock when I am trying to sleep.

I have a landline with free calls included in my Internet package.
