    This is quite personal, i must admit, but I have been using Sony for many years, they have a very good and sharp images and the battery going good all day long.
    Here you have my humble 2 cents! :)
    Have a nice day!

    The battery of the iPhone XS is actually surprisingly good, compared to past iPhone models...

    Ok, I guess I'll be the weird one here.

    I despise all mobile phone brands with the heat of a thousand suns.

    Of all of them, the one I found least despicable was Nokia, then Microsoft, with the Lumia line of phones that ran Windows. Best I ever had was the Lumia 950XL. Unfortunately MS never decided to seriously pursue mobile marketshare, and so I am now stuck with a stupid iPhone.

    Yeah, they "just work" which explains why I have to reboot mine at least once a week because it randomly decides it's too good to connect to Wi-Fi or LTE networks, and why I have to remember periodically to open the app store and check for updates even though I've got it turned on to do it automatically.

    What iPhone do you have?

    Only thing I've noticed is that Apple seem to slow down iPhones. My mother's iPhone 4s is slow as hell and pretty much unusable, and my old 5s isn't exactly fast. Or I wonder if my XS is fast because Apple started using NVME drives since iPhone 6s.

    Samsung I guess. The only brand I have used in my entire life.
     
  11. Although I don't have a mobile device (and I have my reasons, so don't ask), I am quite fond of the Doro series of phones, where it's all about simplicity and none of the crap modern phones have these days.

    Samsung. Why no Huawei (cheaper you ask?) Because I distrust Huawei way more than Samsung (don't get me wrong I also distrust Samsung).

    Phones are solid, rootable, and I can flash whatever I want, firmware, modem, efs and whatnot.

    Well apple throttles phones with worn down batteries by default so make sure you turn that off.

    yeah true, I don’t think throttling can be turned off though?

    My mother’s iPhone 4 lasts a good couple of days but what’s the point if the phone is unusably slow!!! Silly Apple, double the speed and halve the battery life lol
