Ideal Phone

[joshfrog]

Hi All

 

Was just using my phone and so many things about it annoy me about it, just had me wonder if anyone is happy with the phone they use.

 

I have a Samsung something and just find it buggy and the amount of crapware on it annoys me.

 

Watching recent phone reviews from LTT and others they talk up so much of these new features and just has me wondering, do manufactures make phones for real people?

You see it in so many other areas of tech, software or hardware that just doesn't seem to be made for real people or if they even use the device to make sure it works.

 

Please leave a comment with what you think your ideal phone is or if it exists at all, i know mine doesn't

 

Thanks

I've got a 15 Pro Max and the only thing I'm not super thrilled with is the fact that the closest it can focus is still pretty damn far away, but I understand that's just what you're stuck with thanks to the sensor size.

 

It's still less buggy than my 13PM that, for whatever reason, wasn't able to switch between cameras during video recording even after several factory resets... so that alone makes me happy. Action button is also lowkey pretty dope.

Mine is iPhone 12. Very useful but the downside is battery has small capacity.

I'm a Pixel 7 user, and I'm fine with it. Granted, I would also be totally fine with a flip phone if it had instant messaging capabilities (Slack, Discord, FB Messenger, etc.), so I don't know how much that really means.

I got the iPhone XR. Been an excellent device. Ive had it maybe 5 years. It kinda started slowing down on me now and the battery life is a little less. But its still usable. Probably going to get the 16 base or maybe the Plus model, if my phone holds out till then.
