I had a LOT of phones, my first one was the
2011 Huawei U8650: I had the option to get this or a Samsung Galaxy Y and chose this phone because it looked much nicer and not so hilariously small at the time. I tinkered a lot with custom roms on this one and except not being able to play even Minecraft because of no armv7 support it was a great first phone.
2012 S3 Mini: Everybody had this one at school and it was such a cool device for the price. I had my first experiences with stuff like Whatsapp+, N64 Emulation an actually usable browser and in general a great allround device. I remember playing GBA games with MyBoy and trading pokemon over bluetooth.
2013 Moto G: Great reliable phone running clean android, not much to say about this one but in a good way.
2014 Samsung Galaxy Alpha: decent smartphone but I dont remember much about it except listening to much music with Poweramp and being annoyed at the bad battery life.
2015 Google Nexus 5: The Design and Software of that phone was awesome! Sadly it's battery life was horrible and buggy so I didn't keep it much.
2016 Galaxy A5 (2016): My first waterproof phone, it had a fingerprint scanner on the home button and a sleek design.
2018 Galaxy S8: I wanted this because of it's all screen design and it was pretty good, sadly it got hot fast and performance wasn't very good because of that, and again poor battery life.
2019 Google Pixel 3a: This is more of an sidegrade specs wise but it was a HUGE upgrade in the camera and battery department, one of my favorite phones because I always wanted to get a pixel but they were too expensive so this was perfect.
I really liked the Google features and AI stuff the phone had.
2020 iPhone Xs: I wanted to try an Apple phone because I got it cheap and was interested in iOS, but it's camera sucked and battery life was also bad.
2022 iPhone 13: Made my first ever contract for a phone. Great allrounder with the best battery life I have seen in a phone yet and my current phone, iOS is already getting boring but nowadays I prefer reliability instead of tinkering.
