Corrine Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 I used a Windows Phone until I had to upgrade in order to get 5G. So, I now have my first Android phone: Samsung Galaxy A42 5G. It has worked out well using the Kindle app for reading eBooks since my tablet died. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 That's a lot of phones @securitybreach I've used a fair amount of Android phones - I currently use both an iPhone and some Pixel devices for work. I'm not sure the very first Android phone I used.... possibly the Samsung Galaxy S2 ? - Samsung Galaxy S2 - Samsung Galaxy S3 - Some HTC devices - ??? - OnePlus 6 - OnePlus 8 Pro - iPhone 13 Max Pro I've also used a variety of Pixel phones, from Pixel 2 onwards, as these are our work phone of choice. For the life of me, I can't remember what phone I had before getting my first OnePlus. Maybe some more of the Samsung Galaxy series? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 I'm looking through my old emails trying to trace my phone history. 2011 - Galaxy S2 2012 - Galaxy S3 By 2016 I had a Galaxy S4, and in 2018 I bought a OnePlus 6. I remember having a HTC device at some point, but maybe it was before the Samsung S2, I'm not sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're only the second person that I have know that had a windows phone. The other person absolutely hated it, how about you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raymac46 Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 We have a couple of Samsung Galaxy phones - A50 and A32. One is LTE and one is 5G. They are OK for texting and light data apps. I would never use a phone for serious work or photography - I guess that marks me as a Boomer dino. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other person absolutely hated it, how about you? Actually, I loved it. My "flip phone" was replaced by a Windows phone that I unexpectedly won merely by commenting on a social media post. I hadn't even realized that it was a contest. Comparing the Windows phone to the Samsung phone, I'd still switch to a Windows phone if they were still supported. It wasn't filled with all kinds on nonsense apps. If I wanted an app, it was easy to get it. I don't "live" on my phone as so many people do and use it for calls, messaging and reading eBooks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the apps were available in the Windows App store for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xrobwx71 Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 It's the price of a laptop sheesh. I have several customers that have the foldable. (Samsung) They seem to like it, have had them for about a year, and haven't had any issues. Personally, I'm still skeptical about durability at the bend.

The durability on the hinge seems pretty good, I’m not expecting that to break anytime soon. The main “weak point” for durability is probably the inner screen of any foldable. They’re thinner than conventional screens, although has good protection when closed. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a few coworkers who have the galaxy fold and another one with a flip. While it may be neat, I would rather just carry around a phone with a single display and a tablet or laptop.

securitybreach Posted July 10, 2023 Author Share Posted July 10, 2023 Plus I can get a good laptop for the same or cheaper with higher specs than these foldable devices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
