Which Cell Phone do you own?
-
Well I bought a new phone yesterday, spent most of last night and this morning playing around with it. It's actually going to make a lot of my trip over the next week or so a lot simpler. The customer service from the Apple Store continues to be hilarious…
The rest of this is going into the random rants section...

Last year I finally bought my first smartphone (I know I'm late but I really loved my old Nokia 6300 :'() and because I didn't have a clue I went for an Android phone. So yesterday - almost one (!) year after its been released by Google - my device received the Android 8.0 (''Oreo'') update which turned out to be pretty minor with some nice but minimal improvements. Waiting this long for such a minor update is unacceptable. Not to mention the tardy security updates (if they come at all). After experiencing such terrible software support (and because Android feels like a knockoff of something that's been around before = iOS) I'm planning to go for an iPhone next time.

Huawei P20 pro
Best (3) camera (s) everSent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

I'm thinking of replacing my old Samsung Galaxy S6. Possible candidates are the Huwaei P10 or P20 (not Lite nor Pro). I'm not a a tech geek, just want a good camera for when I don't have my proper one. To those who own one or know their gear - which one would you prefer?

If your main focus will be the camera, the P20 is the only way to go.

If you can wait for roughly three weeks, you can switch to one of the new iPhones and they will definitely have great cameras. I'm gonna be the one and say the P20 Pro is highly overrated and is only the clear winner for low light photos. As of now the Google Pixel 2 still has the best camera although the Pixel 3 is already coming in October. If you want to play it safe you can always go for the Samsung S9+ that came down to a pretty good price recently.
Edit: Here's one example why I don't prefer the P20 Pro: http://dl4.joxi.net/drive/2018/08/01/0008/1217/533697/97/8da1b25e30.jpg

Pixel 3 is about to come out. Hard to beat Pixel 2's camera already and I'd imagine an improvement in the 3. My camera thrashes all my friends' iPhone cameras for sure. Specs aren't the best on the camera but taken with the software it's superior. And it's nice to have stock Android, I was on Pie almost immediately after release. Can't recommend Pixel enough, easily the best phone I've ever had.

Thanks guys. That doesn't make it easier, though. The P20pro comparison Picture is almost unbelievable, Looks like my old cellphone camera.

i'm an apple fanboy. i'll say iphone X all day long. but from a objective point of view, the huawei leica collab is brilliant and one of my mate swears by it. also, look into sony's phones. as much as i'm a canon person, i'll have to admit sony makes great sensors and i'll be surprised if their xperia phones do not contain the great work they've been doing with their sensors.
the only thing that is stopping me from any of those phones is android. but if you've been using it, you should feel right at home.

Pixel 3 XL shots here (tagged #Pixel3XL) fwiw

Despite producing the majority of camera sensors for nearly every smartphone manufacturer nowadays, Sony has still the weakest quality on its own devices due to poor software processing. Pretty ironic. Google's Pixels are best at it and here's the original post with a shipload of pics taken with the upcoming Pixel 3.

Here's one I just snapped in the hotel I'm posted up at with my Pixel 2.
There are low light pictures I've been able to take that no one else's camera was able to make sense of. Nice to never need a flash, since phone flashes are annoying and lacking.
Ok I'll shut up about it now.

iOS for me. A great part due to the stance on privacy. Sorry to link to marketing…. however:

I went from Apple to Android in 2011, and was finally tempted back by the new iPhone XS Max, went all out with the 512GB phone, plus the stainless 44mm LTE watch, picked up on launch day, I was excited to be back… Within 2 weeks they've been returned and I'm back to my Samsung Note 8.
They were very cool, sexy as hell with the polished stainless finish, and felt great in hand. The problem was that in the two weeks I had it it dropped at least half a dozen calls mid call, and removed the time stamps from all my messages so were all in random order... Since I use my phone for work it was just unacceptable, sadly. Luckily Apple customer service is excellent, and they just refunded it no fuss. Offered a swap but I'm going to wait for them to iron out the kinks, it sounds like the calls dropping is a random issue at this stage, with no known cause and no guarantee if or when it will be fixed with an update, or whether it's a hardware issue.

The new Pixels are underwhelming, which is good for me since I'm still very happy with my Pixel 2, easily the best phone I've experienced. But I do hope Pixel 4 is compelling.
