Upgraded to the iPhone X last month…only to smash the \*\*\*\*\*\* two days ago. Currently using a Samsung Galaxy Ace 3 😂 …Thank God I’m insured… ---

I made the jump from iOS to Android this Christmas with a Fairphone 2 running LineageOS. Enjoying it very much so far! I was set on getting a Moto G for a while, but I liked what I saw with the Fairphone: attempts at an ethical supply chain, a very repairable device, and reasonably priced spare parts. An ongoing 24% off sale didn’t hurt either. ---

Samsung s8 Debating pixel 3 🤔 no expandable memory though … Also I don’t _need_ a new phone. Oh and whatever iPhone I scrounged from my dad for free trade ---

I’ve got the One Plus 3T. Really like it, probably my second favourite phone I’ve ever had, after the Blackberry Bold 9780. That phone was amazing. I’ll probably get a Huawei or Google Pixel of my next phone when my current contract expires. ---

Moto G6 Plus. Excellent phone, as much as I could ever want, at a pretty decent price Had a Moto G4 till earlier this year. Great phone at a really great price. Unfortunately the battery started to fade and it is getting near impossible to charge it via the micro USB At about the same time I replaced it I started with Monzo (and Starling) so wanted a phone that had both fingerprint scanning and NFC, and ideally USB-C charging, which the G6 Plus offered up Only slight hitch is that the fingerprint scanner is sometimes a bit of a law unto itself, not recognising my finger - it seems especially bad on those occasions that Google Pay decides I need to enter my fingerprint again - importance based decision tree! Next time around I would certainly want a fingerprint scanner that could check more than a slice of my finger at the same time. Maybe wireless charging as well, but lasted the past decade okay without it ---

I got a new Xiaomi A2 in their black Friday sale, was a much needed upgrade to my HTC One from 2013. It just got the Android 9 (Pie) update but is missing NFC so I’m still whipping out my Coral card and striking up conversations about Monzo when I pay 😁 ---

I’ve had a bad year for phones. Started with a Moto G4 Plus, then started having charging issues. To tide me over I got a Moto C Plus which was OK. When the Moto G6 came out I bought that and it was OK at first, until it started acting up and not booting. It went off for repair and I bought a cheap Nokia 1 (I had sold the C Plus by now). I was impressed with the Nokia so when the Moto came back with the same fault I returned it and plumped for a Nokia 8 which has just got Android Pie. All good so far with it and hoping I won’t have these issues in 2019! Tl:dr: I’m using a Nokia 8. ---

Recently bought Samsung [Galaxy S7](https://www.bestadvisor.com/android-phones). I am satisfied at this moment, but of course it’s too early to judge all its pros and cons. ---

Also been with Nexus devices since 2010 Nexus S, love the stock Android experience. Currently still rocking my OG 2016 Pixel XL as I’m not sure where I want to go next. It’s the first time in a long time I’ve felt like I have a device I don’t NEED to upgrade, so I’ve thrown it on a SIM only deal for a while until I decide. Currently considering Pixel 3, Mate 20 Pro, OnePlus 6T.
