Recommend a cell phone

Never_Enough · 05-16-2017, 05:13 PM

Dropped my phone & cracked the screen today so new phone time!
It's a Droid Turbo. I am only interested in an Android phone. Would like to get another Motorola or perhaps a Samsung. Looking for something with comparable, or better, battery life (3900 mAh) and camera.

EDIT: It's going to be between the Turbo 2, Moto Z Force or S8+.
Not sure whether or not the Z Force is worth the extra $200 over the Turbo 2 and I'm not sure if the S8+ screen will be able to survive if I drop it.

You looking for something rugged or something nice?

Would you call the Turbo rugged or nice? Looking for comparable, but better since we have better tech now.

The Turbo does what I need it to. I don't want a huge phone I cannot fit in my pocket or in cup holders while using GPS etc

I thought I saw some manufacture making one that is much harder to crack when dropped, but I cant remember who, guess it should be easy to find.

Good luck.

I like my iPhone 6, but they are pricey.

My buddy has the new Google phone.
Pretty slick

it all depends how much you want to spend... but the Samsung S6 is not a bad choice..

S6? We're up to S8 now. Not going backwards.

Verizon wanted $400 on top of my phone for the Google phone. Hard pass on $400 for a phone.

GoRomeo · 05-16-2017, 06:35 PM

its absurd how much money people pay for phones these days... they may not have enough money to pay rent but gotta have the newest phone...

The reason I ask is because I can't tell.

Never_Enough · 05-16-2017, 09:07 PM

Is the S8 worth the $ over the S6 or S7?

Kenny's X5 · 05-16-2017, 10:43 PM

Within the last 3 years, I have a Samsung Galaxy, Motorola Droid, then an iPhone now. These are all company phones but if I had my personal choice, I would get an android based phone.

bayberry · 05-17-2017, 01:23 AM

I know you said android! But i would highly highly suggest trying out iPhone or qait till 8 comes out.

Dang3r · 05-17-2017, 05:13 AM

Sony Xperia Z5, not the newest but very good, waterproof and nice battery capacity.
Give a sh*t to iPhones, they're overestimated and more lifestyle than phone.

This is about to get ugly in here

You can never argue that with Apple you get the smoothest software experience and continued device support.

But an Android device, I dont care what it is, it's a laggy piece of shit after 12 months and doesn't even receive software updates anymore

I've been on both sides. Coming from a few Nexus' in the past. So I know what the "smoothest" version of android is like.

OP, if you want to use Android, I'd go with a Pixel from Google. You'll actually get security updates etc more than once a year lol.

Never_Enough · 05-17-2017, 08:33 AM

I wonder if I should just get a Turbo 2 off Swappa or something.

Joekerr · 05-17-2017, 08:48 AM

I'm leaning to the Pixel as my new phone.

I'm coming from the S4, so likely a decent upgrade, though the S4 does everything I need, so I've never seen the point of upgrading.

Just that I wish to switch providers now and might as well get a new phone out of it.

Never_Enough · 05-17-2017, 09:45 AM

Anyone have the Moto Z Force Droid?
