Topic: The Cell Phone Thread

[Bubba]

So after several years of upgrading to the next Samsung glass candy bar phone, I decided to try something different.  So far I am pleased to the point of giggling.  Yes there are drawbacks - you don't get the very highest photo-geek cameras, and battery life isn't as good as the flagship non-foldable.  But man, consuming social media, general web-browsing, watching videos, composing emails, posting on forums, viewing and editing photos are ALL next level on this thing.

So, what is it?

I thought this was an Oppo.

It's a Samsung Galaxy Fold Z.

It's a Samsung Galaxy Fold Z.

Yup.

I'm getting my wife the Iphone 13pro max for Christmas. I think she mostly wants a camera she can make the odd call on.

It's a Samsung Galaxy Fold Z.

Yup.

I'm still rocking my four year-old, Samsung Galaxy S8.  I had the battery tested a few months ago and it's still in good condition.

That's the smart move.  I amuse myself with a new phone every two years.  Guilty pleasures.

My daughter just got the 13 Pro and is over the moon about it - especially the cameras.

Yeah, can confirm. I have a 13 Pro and the photos are unreal. Processing power is a notable update from the 12 Pro too - I consider myself a power user and it hasn't skipped a beat once.

It won the mkbhd 2021 Smartphone Award for best cameras.

My iPhone SE 1st gen (A9) was dying (sometime cell signal full 4/4, sometime seek endlessly to find any), so time has came to move on.
Ordered online a iPhone 13 mini (A15). Well, the screen is bigger even if about the same overall dimensions. Should have I picked upper size? Next time I will

Some people really dig those tiny phones.  I'll pretty much always go for the largest screen on offer - but it's down to your personal preferences and what you use the phone for.  If you're not using it to play games, watch YouTube and Netflix and browse social media then a small screen isn't a big drawback.

None of the above, so I'm good

Noticed I have 1000 mins long distance calling to India
I think I will start calling people and ask if they need their ducts cleaned

I think I will upgrade to an Apple  13 mini. Currently have an iphone6 and the pocket on my motorcycle hydration pack can't fit any larger. 13 mini  it is. I tend to pocket my phone so don't need a tablet. Have considered a flip phone.
