Samsung alternatives?

^ Good phone too..

Honestly, there is no definitive 'best phone', it depends on what you want/value in a phone.

Do you want unlimited customizable options, open software, hate the restrictions of iphone's closed ecosystem - or do you just want a phone that may not have the customizable options of Android, but its hardware works in perfect harmony with its efficient software?

Honestly mate, 95% of you guys would be fine with a mid-tier Android phone... I'm just a phone snob - been so disappointed with each sammy offering (hence my obvious push/bias towards iphone).

The guys above (Sg6/7 lovers) are right... their hardware shits all over apples on the spec sheets... but in 'real-world' usage, it's another story. Software of Android is poorly optimized (especially ram management/memory leaks)... hence the need for ridiculous amounts of ram - but they still lag. Even an old iphone 5s with 1 gig of ram, is smoother and more polished than any Android with quadruple the ram)

My main contention is resale value..

The iPhone holds its value better than an Android phone. If you sell your one-year-old or two-year-old Android smartphone, even a flagship device, you will often get much less than you paid.

When you sell an older iPhone, it is easy to find offers of almost double the value of an Android phone that came out at the same time. Yes, it's more expensive, but it's an asset that hold its value (like Toyota or Honda in Thailand)...

Lots of good info, I ended up putting my ancient samsung galaxy s1 back into service.

While the opperating system is obsolete,, it still works well enough.(the home menu button no longer put ya can navigate around that)
I had to make a shim for the battery, otherwise it will turn itself off.

Cheap and easy, just had to pop in at the phone shop for a thingy to use the micro symcard in the old phone.

I guess the galaxy s1 was the first whizz do it all devices which really worked and held up well. (Except for the obsolete operating system)

Really? Never have, and never will sell an old phone. Use they till they are done, then throw them in drawer. Always seem to much of a chance something sensitive remains on the phone.

^ You mean your dick selfies and goat porn? can't you just wipe/format the device? to each their own... I only recently became a phone snob - used to be like the majority of you blokes and use my phone in a simple manner... (phone/text/donkey porn)...

Funny how peoples mind work.

Personally, I was referring to info that I keep on my phone like passport number and expiry date amongst other things.

So I bought one of those minix jobbies NEO U1 and so far it seems impressive - other than the popcorn app that wants you to install a VPN at cost.

On to important matters. How does one get porn on this? I have browsed a few places via youtube but the app seems to do no more than jut browsing the web for jizzmaster or something.

Is there a specific app?
