So, I thought I’d kick things off here with some community building.

Quote this post with answers to the below!

What phone are you using?

Are you happy with it? What are its best and worst qualities?

Which phones have you had previously? Which were the best and worst of the lot?

How often do you upgrade to a new phone?

What other Android ecosystem devices do you have? Watches, headphones/earbuds, etc.

Do you also use any Apple products, or are you Android all the way? (And/or Windows, Linux, ChromeOS, etc.)

    Hey y’all, first post for me here ^^ Currently I am using a Galaxy S23. I really love that this phone is an awesome allrounder with quite a nice size for today’s standards, that doesn’t really have many weaknesses. Coming from an S10e (Snappy version from Hong Kong) I miss the microSD slot though and the size was better but my battery gave up so I needed a new phone (no, replacing the battery is not an option imo since IP rating and end of support). What I really hate on phones nowadays are that close-up shots of objects like documents are horrific compared to earlier phones but the world needs bigger sensors and that seems to be a drawback, I get it. To anyone with the same issue: Just use 2x zoom and your closeup should look a bit better at least. My best phone was definitely the S10e with the Snappy 855 - only drawback was that the battery was a bit small but it was manageable for me. Except for a 90hz panel and telephoto lens, it had quite everything that you could wish for. I only use a pair of earbuds (Comfobuds 2) with my S23 and I only use Windows 11 on my PCs (still think that Windows 7 was the best OS but here we are). Apple isn’t really an option for me when it comes to smartphones since the customizablity and the whole eco system doesn’t work out for me but I wouldn’t say it is a bad system. It has its advantages and disadvantages like any other tech product out there. Have to admit though, their Macbook Airs are mighty impressive. If you have that much patience and read till this point, thank you for reading. Also have a wonderful day and stay safe =)
