Which is the best phone company in terms of consistently putting out good phone products.
The iPhone is pretty good. :)
Jk, you might want to checkout the “Pixel” line, the manufacturers vary but it’s basically the flagship Android phone.
To me personally: Google and their Pixel phones! I am now on my 3rd Pixel phone (3a, 4, 7) and each and every one of those phones where just really good phones! Great build quality, features that worked and great cameras; I had other phones that I liked a lot (most notably the Oneplus 3 and to a certain degree the Oneplus 1) but none of them felt so well rounded as my current Pixel 7. I have to use a midrange Samsung for work and it is just awful compared to the also midrange Pixel 3a I had! One lags constantly, installs the same bloat everytime I update it, takes average to bad photos and is missing stuff I have come to appreciate on my phone. My old 3a was working until just recently and until the end it just felt smooth to use it.
I guess Apple should be mentioned too. Not a fan personally but their hardware is really well made and a lot of people love ios.
If you are looking for no fuss (and no bloatware), check out Fairphone. They provide OS updates for at least 5 years, and with the last one they say it will receive updates for even longer.
Of note that if you’re from the US, you cannot buy it I think. They don’t offer versions with the hardware for the networks you use over there, only for the rest of the world.
(Edit)
Nevermind, this was old news! Awesome!
Are you saying that the GSM frequencies used in the US are not supported by Fairphone hw?
I know there are CDMA and GSM telkom companies but I assumed the re are plenty of common frequencies
Apparently just starting a few months ago, you can get fairphone in the US through Murena.
Not anymore. Now available in the US.
Honestly you can get any android, look up how to remove DT Updater and remove all the carrier bloatware you’ll be fine. Or if you can get a rooted one.
Sony. Often overlooked, but very solid smartphones. Maybe because they aren’t as sharply priced as a lot of the competition.
Fucking hate Sony. Had an Xperia and the bloatware was over the top. Main issue is Sony is priced higher than other OEM but with less specs. Just over itself. Sick of conglomerates
