So what phones do you guys use? I'm looking for a new phone sometime, but I'm not in a hurry. So what do you use? I'm personally antiApple some call me the most androidist person they know... So if you use apple, be prepared to get yelled at and hit with a stick while I yell 'get off my thread!'

Don't hate apple like that. It's a waste of everyone's time, you'll likely refuse to acknowledge the advantages of apple products and what they have against other competing products, etc. People who use apple products will hate you and it's all not worth it.

Lumia 650 :D  And after having experienced both iOS and android, I am quite enjoying this.

I own an iPhone and still miss the 5s fingerprint sensor everyday. Though S5 was a big increase in size for me and in storage capacity too. If I were to choose I don't mind getting an Apple that is I pay same price

 

A micro SD would be what I want most and a 3.5mm Jack. 4K60fps video recording and color blue

I use an HTC One M8, 2014, obviously. It's still as fast as it was when I first got it. I was thinking of getting the HTC 11 sometime when it comes out.

And I just think Apple is overpriced compared to my phone or any android. iPhones haven't ever changed and I doubt they will unless the company gets bought out which I doubt. I love how custom android is also.

My friend, you either get a Google Nexus/Pixel, or you go home when it comes to android ^^.

 

I use an Iphone 255 and i can say, it has a new type of headphone jack. It connects directly onto your ear, when you put the earpiece near it.

A 64GB Droid Turbo (unlocked) I got off of EBay for $250 CAD (roughly $190 USD). Manufacturer refurbished, and working like a champ. Love the fact that I almost never have to worry about battery life or storage. Doesn't last 48 hours like advertised, though. I forgot to charge it one night (at around 60% left), and I had to charge it almost as soon as I got back from my swim at around 4:00pm the next day. Still pretty impressive, I guess.

Right now I have a Nexus 5x, which I might be switching out for a G4, and a Note5 which I'm in the process of selling.

If I were you I'd definitely wait, this would be the worst time of year to buy a new phone.

CES is in early January, and MWC is in March. That's when you'll see the new phones come out.

Plus Nokia's coming back! Very excited. I hope they bring out a couple of really beastly phones.

How do you find the lack of apps? Planning to buy the Surface phone?

I like the idea of Windows Phone, but it's eBay app is lacking and my bank doesn't support it either.

I can do the banking via browser, but not eBay.

I almost bought that one on Black Friday! But I missed the deal where they threw in the free headphones and a battery bank.

So it's not really worth it now.

They're not really that much more than a top tier Android phone, if at all.

They change quite a bit. They've added haptic feedback, fingerprint sensors, dual camera, a larger screen size, they're one of the few brands to actually have a 256GB model.

You're completely right about the customization though, that's my main reason for going Android.

You like the 5x? I hate it. The only good thing about it, I find, are the fast updates.

Don't go LG if you value battery life.
