Thread: What is the best new phone?

My Google Pixel 1 has been glitching more often lately - so I'm ready to upgrade. The battery life is also pretty shitty.

Prior to this I had an iphone - then switching to Android was pretty jarring. I'm kind of indifferent on ios vs. android - but the lack of a headphone jack has me nervous.

I also don't like the giant displays - I kind of like the size of the 5" Android (that's what she said). Is 5G a gamechanger? Any strong feelings on the iphone 11 vs the Galaxy 10?

I really like the iPhone X I got a little over a month ago, but they also kind of have me roped in with my iTunes subscription. The battery life is actually kind of amazing. I go a full 16 hour day from waking up to going to bed and it only drains about 60 percent. I don’t watch a lot of video, that does drain it a little more. Also, the headphones just plug into the port now.

Android for the W

LG has come a long way

I enjoy my Galaxy s10. Battery life is great. Works great.

I'm the wrong person to ask. I've been using the cheap LG smartphone from cricket with the big ass battery. The battery in that thing is the truth, and while the camera on it sucks, I have never thought to myself "damn my phone is dead again." More like "shit I haven't charged this thing in almost a week, guess I've been remiss."

For me that is perfect.

I have a Pixel 3. I'm not really much of tech guy, so I don't know how it compares to other phones, but it has been pretty flawless.

I don't have to charge my battery at all during the day (same as MO, said above), so the battery life is nice.

If all goes as plan, I’ll be in the market for a new phone the 1st of next year that can handle the demands of driving for Doordash. I drove briefly for Lyft last October with my current LG phone, but both the battery & the RAM were inadequate to run their App. What I’ll need is an Android phone that has the longest life battery & most RAM possible. That’s all. I don’t need a toy with a bunch of teenee-bopper non-sense that serves no real purpose but to jack up the price of the phone, I'll just need a work tool.

You need a new phone. I’d driven an old iPhone into the ground and it did stuff like that. Only solution is a new phone.

Ive had the galaxy note 9 for a while now. Best phone I have ever had. NOt sure if it has been 1 or 2 years now, but its pretty sweet.

I am hard on my phones though. I use them round the clock for work or games and stuff. So my battery is pretty shot. Initially the batter was great but I have beaten the hell out of it. I usually have to charge mine 2x a day. Not a big deal as at work my desk has a usb for charging and I charge in the car when needed and at home.

Still, that is my biggest complaint. I used to have apple. Liked it a bunch too. Like my droid better. Sorry I am not too helpful.

Just fire up your pink extra!

Apple definitely makes a superior product - to what degree is negotiable. Both phones and computers.

I just hate how they're so controlling/proprietary. It's my damn phone, and I'll do with it what I see fit. That's the biggest reason I normally buy a Samsung or other Android based phone.

"Apple definitely makes a superior product"

"But here are the reasons Android is better and I buy them instead of iPhones"

No you dont. I have a year old Samsung Galaxy Luna Pro. Less than $100 new. I run uber driver, lyft driver, chrome, Facebook and flight radar apps all at the same time with no prob. It has crap for storage space isnt super quick, but it works. Your phone is just a dinosaur.

It was the cheapest LG phone that I could buy brand new from the T-Mobile store just 5 months before I started driving.
