That's part of the reason why I have a PhoneArena account. It helps me keep track of phones I have had and I can arrange them in the order I had them.

That's a cool feature. I think I'm over 100, so maybe it's best for me to keep some stuff forgotten.

Lol! I feel that.

So many of the Android brands I like are floundering. Some days I wonder if I shpuld just give in and get a Samsung. If I did, it's between the S10+ and the Note 10.

I had the HTC TyTnII in 2010 running Windows Mobile.

I have a spreadsheet that keeps track of the phones that I have cycled through (flipped as MIA would say) since 2013. Prior to that I had only gone through 5 phones in 9 years

Right now I have 5 phones.

I won't go into how many phones I've had. It's very few.

As someone who never had a flagship Samsung before the S10e, I feel like they are a great middle ground. According to Laura, the S10+ audio experience is decent so you would be able to use your headphones that are capable.

Nice! I know that includes an iPhone and Pixel. Have you decided which ones you'll keep?

It's looking like Xr, a Pixel and the 7T for now. I do have three lines. One paid by work and one was free from TMO.

Key words there..."for now".

Right now in total, I have a Mi 9, bricked V35, G7+, V40, Mate 20 Pro, HTC 10*, HTC HD2, and 9 Pureview. That's a lot more than I wanted.

Idle hands are the devil's workshop alright.

The FaceID is starting to gnaw at me, it's really the only knock I have on the 4XL. But damn, that camera is something else. I'll give it another week 'cause I'm not relishing the thought of going back to the fruit farm.

Any phone that needs to incorporate RADAR should be an easy reason to get rid of it. Google analytics at its best...

If not for the camera, it would be a no-brainer. There are plenty of other phones that look better, perform better or have more features. Lord knows there are plenty with better battery life but few, if any, match the camera on the 4XL. The argument to go back to the Note 9 grows exponentially. Better to have a poorly placed FPS than none at all. The Note 9's camera is no slouch either - far from it. I have to talk to the pillow on this one.

Ya ever since Google implemented their own AI visual core chip for post processing...

I owned the pixel xl and pixel 2xl and never had any images quite like it ever. The PureView on my Lumia was the only thing better or comparable.

Maybe Microsoft got out of the phone business in the nick of time? Seeing China fluctuate as it has, mobile phone sales sinking for some time now, technology leaps are more like baby steps, etc...Someone over there knew a lil something.

99 be living the Snoop Dogg west coast life and will "flip 'em like a somersault".

Some of the places I walk, I wish you could see. Some of conditions people are existing (cuz you cannot truly be living in those) are beyond atrocious.

Back in 2010 I was the Mechanical PM on a renovation project at the Miami VA consisting of 9 new ORs and 2 new Cystoscopic rooms. From the moment we started our pre-con walk-through I needed a drink. A blunt, an 8-ball or anything to make me forget what I had just witnessed. The facilities were appallingly disgusting. There were many vets meandering the hallways with a look on their faces that let you know their bodies were in Miami but their minds were in another galaxy. Seeing as many homeless vets as we do and the condition they come back from deployment is unacceptable in the greatest country on Earth. I would never give my blessing to a son of mine to join the military. This reno project came on the heels of the HIV and Hep C scandal at various VAs in Florida maybe you remember reading or hearing about it.

Stuff like this happens all the time. All it takes is for those involved to not give a farts cousin about it. However the higher up you are the bigger of an issue or aftermath that gets left behind.
