What phone you use as your daily driver? And, a discussion of them.

[ThaiTaffy]

I pay €30 a year for unlimited 4g in Thailand I don't call anyone or sms and if I do it's VoIP

 

[FireFox]

I'm currently paying £4 per month for 8GB data with unlimited call/text,

Now i hate you
That's pretty cheap, when i used to live in the UK i always bought a £10 Top-up, was enough for me.

 

[TheoneandonlyMrK]

Pixel ,4A only complaint is no two day battery, lasts a day but.

On a bit pre pay 100GB adequate calls etc, £20.

I thought that Vodafone was still the leader in the market, long time since i was last time in Italy.
I just know/remember, Vodafone - Tim and Wind

I still use vodafone but i can say that's far from being the leader. Instead wind and tre became a single operator and now has more users than Vodafone. On the other hand we have iliad, Keena mobile and other operators that are relatively new and are associated to Vodafone etc but with a lower cost

Realme 8 6/128 4G Punk Black 'no cringe text on the back' since 2 weeks or so.

So far I have no real issues with the phone, works as it should and the battery life is good.
I'm not a heavy user but I do game on it casually and watch YT on it so it should last me a fair bit of time just like my previous Meizu M6 Note which I used for 3+ years and its still in solid condition.

I'm suffering through the pains of having Poco F3 as a daily driver. Proximity sensor issue got better, but not completely fixed yet.
I still keep my Nokia 8 as a backup, but I'm a bit weary of using it daily. It was an excellent phone when I bought it, but just when warranty expired something would go wrong every once in awhile (screen, camera AF, fingerprint scanner, and later - bad signal and random reboots).

I almost bought a Poco X3 Pro instead of this Realme but some ppl who own the phone told me to stay away cause it can develop various issues and I just couldn't take the risk knowing that I buy phones for 3-4 years at least.
Oh well at least I don't have to carry that big ass phone with me so thats a +.

S20

 

[AusWolf]

Samsung Galaxy A20e, because cheap phones have better battery life than expensive ones, but they run Messenger and mobile banking just as well. Also, it fits into my pocket, and I can use it with one hand, which is a must.

Isn't that limited to something like 10Mbps though?

100Mbps as far as I know

Ahh yes 10Mbps but if I need faster I can pay 50pence to get 100Mbps for the day

The subunit to Euros are cents, not pence.

Potatoes, tomatoes their all the same value pretty much now.

I use a Moto G6 Tracfone stripped down and de-googled to the bare minimum. No account, paid in cash. Ran me 79.99 for the phone and a year of service, no monthly fee. Bought several at once. I'm set until the end of 2023, then I'll rinse and repeat although probably with a "stupid phone" or a linux phone.

Here is a current example of what Tracfone has on offer:

Moto G from ebay.

They have a few newer Samsung's as well, although...I personally like the battery and durability of the Motorola. If needed, you can refill minutes with a card purchased from Walmart(or right through the phone if you have an account). I haven't had to do that on mine.

Never owned a cellphone before 2020.

Best,

Liquid Cool

 

[dgianstefani]

Galaxy S10+ Ceramic white 512gb - Hong Kong edition for the unlocked bootloader+snapdragon 865 chipset. Owned since new no contract.

Google Pixel 2 as backup. (got for £50 3 months ago).

Recently replaced the battery of the s10+, since I needed to replace the screen after throwing it onto the bed from the couch when things got frisky with the GF. 4000mAh lasts 2 days.

£300 repair, but worthwhile I suppose as it's a £1k phone which I've used heavily for 3 years, and a new battery + OLED will keep it going for at least another 3 years.

 

[Mr Bill]

Old iPhone 6s, still works great for all my personal needs.

 

[dcf-joe]

Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra here in the United States.

I use Visible as my service provider, $25 a month for unlimited everything and 5G.

 

[ThrashZone]

Hi,
iPhone SE black 64gb only free iphone I've ever gotten from xfinity mobile 25.us month seems fine

Still have a iPone 4 & iPhone 5s until at&t dropped support switched to above bye at&t phones still work well and in great shape

 

[DR4G00N]

LG Velvet 5G because my provider updated their network and didn't have any older gen phones and everything good was at least $100+ a month.

Other than it only being half as fast as an S20 it works pretty good. I hate the glass back though, who ever decided that was a good idea? Just a total fingerprint magnet.

 

[micropage7]

still using samsung galaxy a5 2017

 

[JalleR]

SGS 20+ really happy with it, but i have ordered a SGZ Flip 3

 

[jayjr1105]

Pixel 5, 2 day battery piece of cake. Best smartphone I've ever owned. Been on beta Android 12 too since May. Some bugs but nothing horrendous.

 

[Susquehannock]

Galaxy s4. Got it free when upgrading my account over seven years ago. Was actually looking at flip phones because I don't have much need for a fancy smart phone. My monthly data usage averages well below 1gb. Mostly google maps and weather radar.

how does your battery still even work? that's insane. unless you strictly only use your phone for the random phone call once in awhile...

Replaceable battery in that model. Just order one up on ebay or aliexpress and viola

$10 replacement Somesang battery about 1.5 years ago. And yeah. Calls and texts are roughly 90% percent of it. Only got the smart phone because it was free. Except data charges of course.
[edit] - ability to replace battery is one of main reason I stick with the s4. Surprised the original lasted so long. Soooo many of my friends had to replace their nearly new phones because the integral battery crapped out. Seems ridiculous to me.

lovely. shame companies don't do replaceable batteries more easily and through official channels to boot.

if they actually cared about climate change and not short term greed they would. but eh.
