So, I thought I'd kick things off here with some community building.

Quote this post with answers to the below!

What phone are you using?

Are you happy with it? What are its best and worst qualities?

Which phones have you had previously? Which were the best and worst of the lot?

How often do you upgrade to a new phone?

What other Android ecosystem devices do you have? Watches, headphones/earbuds, etc.

Do you also use any Apple products, or are you Android all the way? (And/or Windows, Linux, ChromeOS, etc.)

  • Current phone is Poco F2 Pro

  • I'm okay with it. Performance is nice but there is a lot of bloatware. Battery could last longer but I guess everyone wants more battery am I right? The price per hardware was very good, don't regret buying it.

  • I had One Plus 3T, Nexus 5, Samsung Galaxy S2... I'm sure I'm forgetting one. Best one was probably the One Plus 3T, back then the One Plus prices were so nice. Sad.

  • I try spend an average of 100 euros a year on smartphones. I bought my phone for 400 euros, must last at least 4 years. Never in a rush to swap, I only do it when the battery no longer lasts me a full day.

  • No other Android devices. I constantly try to come up with use cases to justify buying a smart watch but honestly I just can't an actual good use to justify constantly having to charge it.

  • I have a 10 year old MacBook that is on its last legs. Battery time is pretty miserable right now. Other than that I just use Windows. I dabbled with a couple of Linux distros but I'm just not into it. I like Windows.

Regarding the smart watch: I considered it an indulgence when I got it--mostly just very curious.

I would take hostages now if someone tried to take it from me, or it stopped working. And I don't even use every feature...
