I apologize if I posted this in the wrong place. I'm in dire need of a new phone. I've narrowed my choices to the Galaxy S20, the OnePlus 8, or the OnePlus 8 Pro. Does anyone have experience with anyone of these? Which would you recommend? Is there something else better in the same price range?
I have a note 10 plus and would prefer the samsung to not purchase a Chinese product
iPhone 11 or iPhone 11 Pro
Apple is more trustworthy than Google (Android)
I’m sort of in the same mode... purchasing a number of phones to replace Samsung S7 and I want to stay away from both android and apple....
Did you want my Nokia 930? It’s a Windows phone!

The reasoning being? Just curious.
I finally upgraded from a flip phone to a samsung antique j2.
What a POS!
I spent a week trying to find out how the screen stopped auto rotating(I never disabled it) It took me 2 weeks to figure out how to load a custom ringtone.
Smartphones..Feh! more frustration than fun.
And there is no file manager, you need to download one!
LG, S. Korea - great phones.
I bought the Galaxy S20 with 5G. I am very happy with it. Still learning every thing it can do. Voice to text is very good.
One feature about Android phones is you can get a great automatic phone recorder from the Play Store. Records every call; both incoming and outgoing. It is completely legal for all calls if you live in a one-party state. Even if you live in a two-party state, it is legal if you are talking to a public official or if a caller states that they are recording a call. Never tell a caller that you are recording it, especially law enforcement officers. If a law enforcement officer knows you are recording, they will hang up on you; that’s normally a good idea.
No experience with either model you mentioned, I can simply say my Samsung Galaxy S9 has been rock-solid. Regular updates to it from Samsung and not a single hitch that I can find. I’ve had it for almost 2 years now and I’m going to run it into the ground.
I have the LG G8. I love that the entire screen is a speaker.
Apple. Hmmm.
Isn’t that the company that has handed Algore hundreds of millions in stock options?
You get what you pay for. I has my iPhone 5s for six years. While friends went through several different phones Due to failures over the same period
Buy an iPhone and have it for half a decade
“I want to stay away from both android and apple....”
that kinda limits your options
I’ve had my Samsung Note4 forever...but am looking at changing...LG is an option I had not considered
Interesting. Thanks for the link.
Lost my note 9 in the water at the dock while unloading the boat. Oops. Liked it for many reasons, mostly the removable SD card. As a side note, diver who cleans the bottom paint found the phone one month later. SD card was still usable and I was able to recover all the photos and files upon it even after the month in ten feet salt water and silt. Nice feature.
Anyway, bought a note 10 (not the 10+5g) and like it, which also has removable SD card. Battery life not as good as the note 9, but maybe that’s because of too much time spent on FR.
Because I can’t remove battery to go dark, like in my old note 4, I also bought a mission dark farday bag for this purpose, as the “feature” for contact tracing is now part of the operating system.
Hope that helps
