Your smartphone history as of 1/11/21?

I'm curious what all you guys had over the years. Here is mine:

1. Motorola Droid 2 (my first smartphone)
2. Apple iPhone 4S
3. Samsung Galaxy S4
4. Apple iPhone 6S Plus
5. Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge
6. Apple iPhone X
7. Samsung Galaxy Note 9
8. Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G

So yeah I've went back and forth with Apple a few times, but I'm fully on team Android now forever unless another iPhone is something crazy. The Note 20 Ultra 5G is the best phone I've ever owned....

* Super easy to flash and update

# Packages:

GMS (Just google services, no play store)

Core

Basic (Comm...

(Discussion) Android problems of lack of long-term software update and support

I think the lack of software updates on Android phones is the main reason they always gonna be behind compared to iPhones.


First of all, I just want to say I love androids, I always have and always be. But let's be real with ourselves, manufacturers these days have been getting too lazy an...

Razer Kishi Gaming Bundle on sale at Walmart ($49.00, not all Walmarts participating in the sale)

Like the noscript says, I saw this weekend at Walmart that Razer Kishi + Razer TWS headphones were on sale at my local Walmart. If you need a quality controller for your Android phone, the price is very nice for the bundle.

Also, it’s a in store only type of deal, can not order online at the same price.

Key notes: Local pick up only and that some Walmart locations are not participating in the sale....
