What phone do you own?

[Dominator211]

As soon as it comes out Hopefully a Samsung Galaxy s11

Pixel 2 (Unlocked, but it was the Verizon model EVEN THE LISTING SAID UNLOCKED; still annoyed over that), Nexus 6 (Actually OEM Unlocked)

I thought so too. It turns out 'unlock' refers to the carrier.

Bootloader unlocking is only approved by the hardware manufacturer. Specific models are made for a certain 'Software Channel' (Amazon, Verizon, Project fi, etc.) and reserve the right to keep the bootloader locked.

Yeah. But it's annoying af when you buy these off eBay and they come locked. I spent money on this :/

I hate people that say Android is better.. iPhone is better. No! Both are great smartphones. They are both pro and con. That's all. And people have their own preference. No smartphones are better at all. Both are great and that's about it!

Been a bit since I last posted in this thread, replaced my Galaxy Note Edge with a Galaxy S8 a bit over 2 years ago, and now I'm in for another phone upgrade so I'll be updating again at some point in the near future.

Not sure what I'll go for just yet, mostly deciding between either the Note 10/10+, or the LG G8X ThinQ with the second screen attachment. I want something with a lot of screen real estate, so a Note would be perfect, but then the whole "two screens, can be folded/have one completely detached!" also seems like a good "in between" for the upcoming "folding phone" trend that'll be more common by the time I get another upgrade.

I'm a huge fan of the new Razr in the way it folds.

That also would've been one of my choices, but it won't be launched until early 2020 and it seems it won't be available on Sprint in the US at launch either (since it's eSIM only) so that'd be a no-go

Would've loved to go for that though, I also love the design of it and it's folding mechanism looks really good, too.

The Galaxy Fold is awesome but its front screen is really small to its body.

I finally upgraded from my old Redmi Note 3 to a Mi A3 last month. My old phone took a beat during its 4 year run and the battery isn't as great as before but it is still going strong. It is currently being used by my little sister since her Moto G1 died.

As for the Mi A3, great phone for its price. It feels premium (it even uses UFS!) and runs stock Android, IMO it is only missing NFC and a Full HD screen. The 720p Pentile AMOLED is pretty great, but it could be a brighter and rarely the low PPI gets me, but nothing major. The screen could be a deal-breaker for some, so make sure to check it in person if you can. I went to a Mi Store to check it out before buying one, otherwise I would have gone with the Redmi Note 7 instead.

I started with a Samsung Galaxy S III, and fell in love with Samsung phones.

So I've had the S III,
S4 for a few years, then jumped to the, S7 and man... that was night and day. S7 battery started shitting itself, got the S9+, and now the S10+. I've never been happier.

@LonelyPhantom uh you can root an note9 as far as i know only shit is your galaxy knox chip burns through

That's interesting to know, but it's all good now. I sold it and bought a Pixel 3 & I successfully flashed Graphene OS onto it.

If anyone knows of a phone with flagship specs with a screen size of or below 5" I'd love to hear about it!

i went from my mom's old flip phone (LG enV2), to my mom's old android phone (Galaxy S3 mini), to an android flip phone that I don't remember the name of, to a note 9.

My current phone is the Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact. It's a 5.0 inch screen. Almost has the same specs as the normal XZ2 (I think it only differs in RAM), but way smaller.
It's stupid they don't make phones of 5 inch anymore :/

Using a Samsung Grand Prime ATM. Gonna upgrade to an S5 soon and run some meme alternative OS on it.
