Which phone has had your absolute favorite shape, out of all the ones you've owned?

For me, I just could not get enough of my LG G3.

It was just so ahead of its time in terms of the form factor. The curved back and the slim edges made it just disappear into your hand.

And then a 16:9 5.5 inch display to top it off.

Just a marvelous piece of tech-- or it would have been if not for LG's hardware issues bricking 2 of the phones for me.

I swear if LG kept the G3/G4 form factor indefinitely, instead of going candy bar with the awful G5 and disappointing G6 they would still have ...

"We Got the Pixel 4a the FBI Secretly Sold to Criminals," from Vice

"Unlocking the Google Pixel 4a with a PIN code reveals some common apps: Tinder, Instagram, Facebook, Netflix, and even Candy Crush. But none of those apps work, and tapping their icons doesn't do anything. Resetting the phone and typing in another PIN opens up an entirely different section of the device, with a new background and new apps. Now in place of the old apps sit a clock, a calculator, and the device's settings.

Clicking the calculator doesn't open a calculator—it opens a login screen...

Sorry if not the right place to post, but I just tested this on an old shitty phone (Samsung galaxy A3 2017) and sure enough the pictures sent through the lite app are far less compressed and shitty looking. The lite app is the one that’s meant to use less data than regular messenger, so that is utterly bizarre.

People complain about this often so I think it would be helpful to mak...
