What is the best smartphone on the market right now?

I've included a couple different models for certain brands because I know that sometimes the newest isn't always the best. For example if the iPhone 8 came out, maybe there were people that said that the 7 was better and that they added features that were not good etc.

Also, after checking most of the main mobile company websites, there are no LG phones available. I guess LG doesn't make phones anymore. I swear an LG phone I had was the best.
Make misc great again

depends on what you already have. if it's android, then a newer android. if it's an iphone, then a newer iphone. reason being is because both have their own ecosystem, and switching from one to another can be very inconvenient for many.

are you saying that it's always better to go newer..

currently i have a huawei and i can't stand it. i had a samsung once, i didn't mind it. it wasn't special though, still had annoying features that bugged me.

as for iphone, there was a story in the news years ago about how they purposely slow down their older phones to try to coerce people into upgrading. i've been kind of anti apple since then

There is still no excuse.. they tried to say it's to protect the phones and that they would never do anything to deterioerate the experience of the user but we all know that's a load of bs. they did it to coerce people to buy new phones

Here is an article on the subject

https://www.theguardian.com/technolo...ng-down-phones

from the article

"
Italian investigation found software updates ‘significantly reduced performance’, hastening new purchases

Apple and Samsung are being fined €10m and €5m respectively in Italy for the “planned obsolescence” of their smartphones.

An investigation launched in January by the nation’s competition authority found that certain smartphone software updates had a negative effect on the performance of the devices.

Believed to be the first ruling of its kind against smartphone manufacturers, the investigation followed accusations operating system updates for older phones slowed them down, thereby encouraging the purchase of new phones."

There you go, Samsung apparently does it too.. big surprise

i just realized how hilarious this response is... "well, they only slow down the old phones, so as long as you upgrade every few years you are fine." literally exactly what they are trying to force you to do

if you think about it everything gets slower/chittier after a few years.

will a new car run the same as a 7 year old one? nah.

does 7 year pc run the last gen games? no way.

so even if they’d intentionally do it, it wouldn’t make any difference. hardware improves every year and new features require more computing power. older devices can barely keep up withour sacrificing UX

100% chance im never buying an iphone.. and i honestly LOVED my iphone til it started slowing down to like 10% the speed it was at for the first 3 or so years. it's too bad really


so far im leaning towards a nexus.. lot of positive feedback on them
