LG Stylo 4. I especially like the stylus to not down notes. ---

[LGB470](https://www.amazon.com/LG-B470-Prepaid-Basic-Phone/dp/B01JB4NP6Q) - can’t believe they’re selling it for so much - mine cost me $15! I’ve had it at least 5 years. ---

Nokia 6. It’s still supported with upgrades. I upgraded from Android Nougat to Android Pie and I still get regulators security upgrades. It also has stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos so I can use it as a standalone music player. ---

I only have a landline (the physical phone set is an old AT&T phone that I bought at Sears). I am mildly interested in getting a cell, but I have been procrastinating for a couple of decades. ---

I have a Pixel 2. Got it a year and a half ago and I’m pretty happy with it. The thing I like best about it is the fantastic camera. ---

iPhone 6. I keep thinking about upgrading, then i look at the price and wait. ---

iPhone 8 Plus. Will probably upgrade soon, I’m a very heavy phone user and the battery isn’t keeping a charge as long. ---

Samsung S8, bought from Amazon at a reasonable price last year. 96% of my phone usage involves neither the phone of text, so a flipphone like I used to own would be useless for me. ---

> [@kayaker](#): > > iPhone 11 Pro Max that I got as a gift. I loved my iPhone 6s-plus and would have kept it awhile longer, but the 11 has really impressed me. Battery life is amazing and wireless charging is really convenient. Oh, and the camera? Wow. Mine is an iPhone X and I agree that wireless charging is a nice convenience. (I do prefer the fingerprint reader of the earlier phone to facial recognition, but even the facial recognition works well enough.) My phone is two years old this year, and I didn’t see anything in the iPhone 11 that was worth the upgrade, but I may upgrade next year, depending on what the new model has (like 5G). ---

Last month I upgraded from a iPhone 6S to a iPhone 11 Pro (the smaller one). Things I like: - The camera(s) - The battery life - The screen Things I don’t like: - No headphones jack - Face ID (used to unlock the phone) only works if you are looking directly at phone. It won’t work lying flat on a table next to you. If you lean over to stick your face in front of it, now you are too close. - The weight. It was like upgrading to a brick after using the 6S for so many years. If the weight increase was all for battery, I would be OK with that. I think most of the weight is that stupid glass back which is dumb and pointless. ---

iPhone 5s. It still works great. I have a Samsung flip phone that worked so much better, still bluetoothed to the car, works great. I had to “upgrade” because work now has a video door bell. ---

Nah, he’s waiting for the all new [eyePhone](https://youtu.be/eJyMEkb_8to). Only about 1000 more years to wait. ---

Some kind of Huawei. TracFone sent it to me for free when my perfectly good tiny one went obsolete. I can take pictures of the dogs, now, so I guess that’s okay. Otherwise, it’s maddening. ---

I’m rocking a Samsung Galaxy S4, love the big screen, removable battery, and sdcard slot. I’ve got 16GB internal storage and 64GB of music/photos on the sdcard.
