What phone are you using right now?

[Nayam]

Hey guys! This is a new forum for Android Phone discussions.
So, what phone are you using now?
I have Xperia XA Dual, really old but can't upgrade because I don't have money and my parents think phones are the worst invention of the century for students

"the worst invention of the century for students" that made me laugh out loud

My phones is 2 years old now and started researching and looking at a new phone to buy myself. Only will consider Android Phones. Only way I ever get an Apple phone again is if it totally free lol.

Here are my conclusions:

Best Budget Phones, unlocked + decent features + decent hardware:
1) UMIDIGI F1 Play
2) Xiaomi REDMI Note 7 Pro

Best Overall Phone, unlocked + good price + features + hardware:
1) Xiaomi MI9 6GB Ram 128GB Storage

Best Flagships, downside is the price:
1) OnePlus 7 Pro
2) Hauwei P30 Pro
3) Google Pixel 3XL, key perk is always get the latest Android Updates and Security patches before everybody else does.

Most likely to buy:
1) Samsung S10e, Will most likely get a Samsung S10e under mobile contract to receive the phone at a discounted price.

Downsides = locked into a contract for 2 years and phone is locked to provided carrier.

Positives = phone has great features and great hardware, phone has the IP68 water protection, I like the smaller form factor compared to it's larger brothers or other flagships, and the Samsung Dex software really interests me.

I use a One Plus 6 now. The Android phones I had previously a Nexus 5x, Nexus 5, Nexus 4, Nexus S, and first a Acer Liquid E.

I love the One Plus. It's everything the Nexus was and much more.

What's your budget?

What's your budget?

Right now I can afford all of the ones on the list I made. Just really don't want to invest all that money on a Flagship phone right now when next year 5G should be in my area. If I go the contract route, I should be able to get an upgrade discount if I upgrade to 5G next year on a new 5G phone. So that is why the Samsung seems like my most likely path.

My primary phone is a Samsung S8. I love the phone, but it's 2 years old so will likely by an S10 later this year.

My second/backup phone is a Samsung S6.

S8 is a good phone, very durable

S8 is good yes but I don't like how narrow the screen is...
