To people with more than one phone, why?
Now that the pixel 3 is going on sale I'm considering getting either the XL version or the 3a XL, however this is purely on a whim, with no real reason behind it so I just wanted to know why some other people have more than one phone before going through with it.
My current phone is a galaxy s8 64g that I have no problems with, the screens a little scuffed due to my job but I dont really mind that, and theres no issues with it besides that....

If we are transitioning from 3.5mm to USB-C audio, at least make phones with more than one USB-C jacks!
It seems that every flagship these days are moving away from the 3.5mm jack for "reasons". But what irks me is that manufacturers often claim that "we are moving towards a wireless future".
Now I don't buy this hypocritical BS because most phones are not including wireless headsets in the box. But instead, they still provide the wired headphone with USB-C. So I assume that the manufacturers are actually pushing for USB-C audio. But why stop there? There are a lot more peripherals that can make ...

Android is an amazing operating system....I'll surely ditch iOS for good now!
I am a life long iOS user. I have used Android before, but with bad experience.
Recently I lost my iPhone X and Im not in a position to financially afford an expensive phone. Older iPhones do suffer with performance and are outdated. So I decided to get a mid range Android. My two options boiled down to the One Plus 6T or the Pixel 3a XL. I chose the Pixel since the 6T doesn't support my carrier.
I'm in love with this phone. It cost half the price of my iPhone and it works great. Battery lif...
