Favorite Phone Brands

[sharpshooter]

Hi! I did switch quite few phone brands, but atm i'm sticking with OnePlus, because of the 7's full screen size and liberty to freely root it and keep you warranty..
What brands did you guys stick to, and why ?

@sharpshooter Apple is my preference, one because I love the design of their devices and the UI. No other brand comes close IMO. Also when people compare device specs, the numbers (pixel counts and things of that nature) do not reveal an accurate representation of which is better because it is so much more complex than that. One example is the camera: instead of increasing the number of pixels in the image, they invest resources into making each pixel bigger, thus letting more light in ... Apple knows the limitations of the human eye and what improvements will actually matter to us. (Not that other companies don't, of course, it's just something to take into consideration when you are deciding between phones). Other companies might focus just on improvements which look better on paper. Nothing beats holding them both in your hand and making a comparison that way, imo -- personal preference is everything, so my suggestion is go to a retailer where you can do a side-by-side. 

I just bought the iPhone 12 pro max. Favorite features: the squared design, the LIDAR scanner (for 3D scanning and augmented reality), xdr display, the camera/video performance and speed, definitely the ProRaw format, 5G

Negatives: Not for the phone, I don't game on my phone, but for iOS in general, the lack of investment into cloud gaming.

I've been a Samsung guy for a while now but I've seen some great Google and Sony phones.

I think Motorola is not enough heard of.

The three most important points in favor are : 

It has the most vanilla Android system.
It packs some useful gestures functions like "put the phone face down to disable notifications sounds".
Also it has a great battery life, if not the best of all phones with stock battery.

I used Nokia, Samsung, Blackberry Torch, Sony Xperia Z, LG G6, Motorola X Play. I think this last one blows them all.

In my experience and I'm not a heavy phone user, Apple has the best quality products on the market.
