Used to be a hardcore Samsung fanboy, had Samsung phones up to an S4, then swapped to an Xperia Z5 Premium (it's now my backup phone). Bought an LG G Pro 2 and liked it, went on to a V20 (had it for a couple of months, it was stolen when I'd gotten careless). Bought a G6 as replacement, think I'll be sticking with LG for the time being, more excited about the V30 than the S8+ truth be told. So yeah, LG's the one for me...

I had several Sony phones, some Samsung phones..
But 2 years ago I bought an Acer S55. It was ok, battery lasted around 2 years.
Now I have an Phicomm Energy 3+, can change the battery etc. on it. Excellent phone, fast, good options for screen, sound etc.

I have never owned an Iphone, but I have changed batteries in several of them for friends, changed the screen on some even.

should be a Poll

Rocking a Moto G5 Plus (64GB / 4GB Ram) and loving it. Probably because the UI they used is so close to Stock that its making the phone amazingly fast and snappy. So far i havent had any issues with it at all.

First smartphone i had was the Sony Xperia X8 which is still alive till today but resting in my drawer. It was dipped in sea water and still good, changed battery and flashed custom ROM.

Second smart phone was the Sony Xperia GO which was nice as well, and now i didnt take any chances. It was water proof and it is still alive and is hanging out with my X8 in my drawer.

At the moment i have a Sony Xperia T3 which it is very good and going strong but will be going to my mom since im getting a new phone (HTC U11 won on a TMobile competition).

Overall, i do like Sony phones, like the design, their interface and for the price they are really good quality and performance.
Other brands i like are Xiaomi, Huawei, LG a little, and maybe Samsung a little.

Stock Android since Nexus 4 (5 and 6p). Had a Moto X and it was the best interface ever with unsurpassed usability. Phone camera was poo though.
Tried to preorder Andy Rubin's new phone, PH 1 but only allowed in America for pre-order.

Call me old school but my favorite is Nokia.

Toothless · Jul 23, 2017

Samsung and HTC are my favs. Oh and Nokia for never breaking.

P4-630 · Jul 23, 2017

Motorola (have had the Razr V3, I still love the design of this one, would be nice if they could bring such out again as smart phone)
Samsung , currently have a Galaxy S7
Sony-Ericsson

LG is good as long as they far from being too innovative

The old Nokia's were the best

I'm something of an audio geek, LG's focus on audio with its HiFi Quad DAC is a winner in my book. Besides, the 18:9 screen ratio with HDR support is also a great bonus for me as well as I have a good collection of ripped movies to watch whenever and wherever.

Aye if you invest the whole family in them they work really well.

Sony. I'm looking for a new phone as the Z3 definitely is on its way out. It has survived a shocking amount of catastrophic drops and general abuse without missing a beat. It's just sad the camera in the XZ is not as good as the competition, so I'll likely go for a Galaxy S7 (would have gone with a LG G5 but I can't afford to buy a phone in cash so I just sign away my soul to the carrier for another two years and the Galaxy S7 and XZ is cheaper right now so it is between those two).

And boy do I regret it. Literally everything not related to the camera and performance is worse than with the Sony Z3. Every. Single. Thing.

jboydgolfer · Oct 24, 2017

Jesus, XZ...Z5, S7, Z3, S4 6P.....are they running out of name ideas or what?

Probably not. Z3 > Z. XZ is the only one, I wish it would have been the ZX instead.

Samsung naming is crystal clear.

Rocking a Moto G5S Plus here and not having much to complain either. Came from a Moto G2. Android is so great when left alone...
Sony has quality builds and they seem to release a lot of their stuff to open source so that gets a thumbs up for me. The rest are just meh.
And a definite "no way" to anything with a Mediatek chipset - those are pretty much guranteed to never see another major Android version.

Agreed. But I barely use phones anymore, so what the hell do I know.

denrick · Nov 8, 2017

I personally like Apple and Samsung phones.

Partel · Nov 16, 2017

Xiaomi or Huawei I think

plåtburken · Nov 21, 2017

I always liked Sony for their simple phones.
But later on I started to like Xiaomi for their stylish and yet budget friendly phones.
Now I am with ZTE due to the Axon7.
So my favorite mobile brands would be
Sony, Xiamoi and ZTE
