Advice Request What is your favorite mobile brand ?

[Atatrah]

In 2015 and 2017 , I asked this Question : What is your favorite mobile brand ?

Today, I want to know what is your answer in 2020-2021? Why ?

Apple, for me a (more) trustable OS, & not run by Google, plus it tends to stay a similar layout throughout updates - Can't see me changing from Apple

I have been using Samsung since they announced the first Samsung Galaxy Note.

 

[Digmor Crusher]

LG, I will not use Apple or Samsung.

Sony.
Apple.

Where is Google? I'm sure we have some Pixel lovers here.
But I just realized I don't have a favorite smartphone brand. I'll buy whatever fits my need and budget at the time of purchasing.

+1. I started using it years ago and have no intentions from switching in near future.

Apple. The new 12 is nice.

 

[ZeePriest]

Samsung because of all the features and amoled screen and especially because of samsung pass.

Regions have different popular brands. America is a only a small place.

A tentative vote for Samsung. Certainly not Apple. Good products but no more than that and way overpriced for what they actually are. Samsung are also overpriced but not to the same extent. I would possibly vote for Huawei but for privacy/security concerns.

I have to say Samsung...But in the past I was a die hard Nokia fan

(sadly not listed) Google.

But if GrapheneOS wouldn't exist, my choice would be Apple.

huawei. then iphone, then samsung. i know they`re not the same OS, but the questions was reffering to brands. i had to give up the huawei because of the lack of google services. now i`m using a s20 and not satisfied with it- battery is very close to being garbage, camera smoothens everything too much, even with all the filters off, the night mode will never be comparable to huawei/ pixel/ iphone. i use the exynos varyant- this is the one imported in my country.

Samsung, at the moment. Feel like they make great phones, and have decent accessories if I ever need to buy any other than the buds that I current use.

Voted Samsung. The Note 4 was the most feature rich and best overall phone I've ever owned.
If Google was an option, I would have chosen it. I really enjoy my Pixel 3a XL. My second favorite phone I've owned.

I must say ASUS after having Samsung, LG, Nokia.
Clean Android OS with fast patching almost every month.

I voted for Xiaomi, as they provide top quality phones at a low price and I have no need for an expensive phone. My Redmi Note 4X runs really well after upgrading to custom Android 10 firmware and I doubt I'll change phones for at least a few years.

No favorite brand, I look at the key specifications first:

Display: screen size, resolution, pixel density, display type, refresh rate, screen to body ratio
Performance: chip-set, processor, graphics, RAM (Antutu & Geekbench ratings)
Camera: front and rear camera resolution, aperture, sensors
Battery: capacity, quick charging support
and other features like Storage available, Network connectivity features, O.S support, weight and body design

And then I find out which ones are supported in the price range that I'm looking for.

Since there's nothing that has caught my interest yet in one month or met the specifications that I'm interested in since I've lost my phone, I currently don't own one

I do know one thing though, Apple won't be meeting my expectations for a long long while. Just overpriced for the specifications you get. Smartphones get outdated very soon, so no point in putting my money on this one.

To be fair their devices are the most powerful ones and all other are a lot behind.
Also they support 5+ years every phone while most on android is 3 years with Google and other even get only 2 or even 1 years.

Apple also provide a nice replace for old devices which isn't possible with Android devices so this all ends in more friendly economy system.

And last but not least Apple is the only phone (and desktop) company who realy care about costumer security and privacy
