I feel this way about the Nexus 6p, another beautiful phone that will never be back. These phones had a kind of identity that modern ones don't. Nowadays they're all the same.
- noir_lord 8y agoI got a Nokia 6.1 (new model) and it's absurdly good for the money and I truly love the design. The black and copper looks premium against my GF's iPhone 8, It's easy to hold, it's milled out of aluminium and strongly built, it's smooth, fast (Android One is great). And it cost a fifth of what an iPhoneX costs here. I even liked their cheeky piss take of the Johnny Ive videos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=qmJitfThItk https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=qmJitfThItk
- robocat 8y agoSeconded - we bought a Nokia 7+ for work for Android 9 beta testing (cheapest phone that gets beta updates). Nice hardware and everyone in the office likes how it looks - I'm using it as my everyday phone. iPhone SE topic: are there any manufacturers that take older iPhone model guts and repackage them with different bodies and screens? I would love to use an iPhone (Google doesn't do privacy) but I can't justify spending 2 to 3 times the price on something I regularly break or lose... (I generally avoid fragile expensive utility items).
- noir_lord 8y agoNokia are killing it, one of the reasons I bought this was because android one makes testing on latest chrome/OS a lot simpler. I use an iPad mini for safari testing because iPhones are so damn expensive, I can at least borrow my GF's in a pinch.
