I'm using a Samsung galaxy S205G

[LawDogUSA]

Pixel-6, liked the pixel line when it came out. This is for a cellphone though. I have various other android devices for goofy around with.

[Defeat]

I have an imported Oneplus 8T, Cyberpunk Edition. When the device was released I wrote a couple of guides (rooting/ROMs) for others that imported the phone from China. With how Cyberpunk 2077's release went, it's a unique device with a bizarre background.

I still have the 7T.  Not sure when I'll be upgrading next, but I'm not sure I'm sticking to OP, been with them since the OPO but it may be time to look at other androids.

When I went looking, I was simply reminded of why I stopped buying from Samsung and others. Oneplus still offers a pretty good deal, but not nearly as competitive as it used to be.

I have a feeling that'll probably be me. It felt like a breakthrough at first, a flagship phone for that price. Now that uniqueness is gone. I doubt I'll ever go to Samsung or back to Apple, but I did like HTC and the Pixel has gotten some good reviews.

Good lord that's not good. What model do you us if you don't mind me asking?

Sure, It's only a cheap Samsung Galaxy J6.

I only use It to hit a few Google searches here and there, so I don't need anything special. When I charge It overnight and purely leave It on standby from the following morning, by around 9pm, the battery Is sitting at around 15%. When I use It for normal navigation (without streaming YouTube etc nor any calls) It must be charged twice a day.

Oh dear. It sounds like it's battery is somewhat shot. They're not bad phones, but probably more money than they're worth if you don't get them on a good deal.

I used to also like HTC! I'm not sure how good their longevity is now though. My last few models from about 5-10 years ago died a lot quicker than the Motorola and OnePlus phones I use now. Ofc, I can't comment on their more recent models.

I've been hearing a lot about the Pixel lately too. I know very little about it, though.

What are your thoughts on your pixel?

No doubt you're correct about the battery.

It's time for me to purchase a decent phone.

To be fair, even with them becoming more expensive, the quality and longevity is still far superior to Samsung, from my experience. I just compared prices for each of their top of the range products. We're  talking £200-£300 difference. Of course, that's without specs comparison, but the OnePlus specs are more the adequate and often compete with Samsung's. Imo Samsung is just the overpriced Apple of the Android market. They're not bad phones... they're just not "good" if you want to use them beyond 2 years.

I'm using Dismas's old OnePlus 6T. It's approx 3-4 years old but you wouldn't know it. Works like a brand new phone. No battery life lost that I can tell, and I can run mobile games, video streaming and all the usual mobile habits with no issues. Before that I used a Motorola Z Play which I also loved.

Both OnePlus and Motorola appear to have very good customer support, which I can't say for Samsung.

redmi note 9s best phone.I have been using it for 3 years now and still working perfectly

How's Its battery life?

My Android device Is around the same age, and It needs charging twice a day.

Good lord that's not good. What model do you us if you don't mind me asking?

I wouldn't judge anyone for having one. The last Samsung I had was probably the Galaxy S2 or S3. I doubt anyone with an S20 is complaining. At the same time, there's similar options for a lot less.

Over the years, it seems like that's happened with every brand. There will always be a new contender.

It looks like Moto's come a long way. HTC it's been way too long, they might have gone downhill. The Pixel though, it's price doesn't seem too bad, it's about a few hundred CAD cheaper than the Oneplus 9 but the reviews seem a lot better for the previous models, same for Oneplus though.

The Samsung flip and fold look cool, I don't think I'd fork out the money for the S20 like.

What's the new name right now? I see an OPPO making its way on some lists, but when I look it up, it's a 2004 company
Huawei's making a comeback, I had one of their phones, was pretty decent

[mothered]

You planning on sticking to Samsung ?

Yes I am.

I've owned Samsung devices for the last decade, so I'm very familiar with It and apart from the battery Issue, I'm happy with Its overall performance.

If I had to choose one now, it'd be Oneplus followed by Motorola/Samsung. HTC hasn't been on my radar for a while.

Spoiler:

In order, I've had (rooted/jailbroken):
iPhone 3G/4
Motorola Milestone
Samsung Galaxy S2/3
HTC One M8
Moto Z/Z2 Play
Oneplus 6T
Oneplus 8T (current)

Oppo and Oneplus are one and the same:

I've had the pleasure of owning a couple of Motorola cell phones, one of which was the good ol' Motorola Razr V3 back In 2005, and must say they both served me very well Indeed.

I'm not sure what today's models are like, but I'll do some research and read what others have to say with their reviews.
