Samsung S7 Edge. Love the performance, dislike the beveled screen edge.

Wanted the Note7 but their battery issues made it impossible. I settled on the S7 Edge as its screen was a little bigger than the standard S7.

Very happy with Samsung and Android in general.

Remember paying $0.10 for a phone call and reading maps and books? A new smart phone and data plan costs as much as a mortgage used to.

A straight telephone that happens to work on the cell network, It makes calls only. Does not “do” Facef*ck or Twit. No games, no nothing. It is a damn PHONE!

Droid Turbo II that I just paid off. So now Verizon is bugging me to ‘upgrade’. I don’t have any reason to, I’m quite happy with this one. Seems the selling point for the ‘upgrades’ they offer is faster gaming speed. Well, I don’t play games, and I don’t spend all day with my face buried in my phone.

I have a older LG G3 phone with a 5.5” screen that came out in 2014. My co-worker has a new Samsung S8

We installed the app called CPU-Z and it showed the same screen 534ppi with mine slightly higher, and cpu’s (4) running at the about the same speed.
I bought mine at $200 at Ebay 2 years ago and he bought his at $800+ this year.

I have been with Tracfone forever. Just bought my 3rd phone fro them a 4G LTE LG Premier. 50 bucks. Reconditioned. Looks brand new. They have a decent selection of new and used phones. If you buy a phone from them you get triple minutes for life. So I spend 19.99 every 3 months and have more minutes, texts and data than I can ever use. They pile up too. Got a really nice hard case online for about 7 bucks.

Had a Moto E basic smartphone for 2 years. It was okay, except that changing the battery required a technician.

I recently got an LG Rebel 2. It has a replaceable battery, is rather light in weight, and seems to have long life on recharges.

I don’t use a lot of the built-in apps.

The one difference: Moto E has a little light that would blink on missed calls, messages and voicemails. LG doesn’t have such a signalling capability.

I am also on TracFone and make few calls. I do occasionally use features that access my wifi, rather than 4G.

I have Straight Talk and it suits me fine. After several years of using an old model smart phone with a pull out keyboard, they sent me an older Samsung for free, no doubt because it is more efficient with bandwith. At home, I use an Amazon Fire HD10 tablet for casual browsing instead of my smart phone.

iPhone X. It's nice, but the phone is not a critical piece of my technology infrastructure. My iPad Pro 12.9" is more important and my MacBook Pro 13" is the one device I couldn't live without.

I used to have a Galaxy Note 4 and really liked it, so I'm not especially biased about Android vs. Apple. I just have all Apple everywhere else, so it made sense to adopt the iPhone, also.

3 year old LG G3 - it’s paid for and it does everything I ask of it.

iPhone 6... love it. I'll upgrade at some point.

We've also owned iPads for several years... absolutely love 'em.
