How many phones have you snapped in your pocket?

    Crushing this thing is actual an achievement

    Okay how can... backstory?

      I was visiting family. Phone was OK when I put it in the pocket, hopped on my bicycle, and rode back home. Next morning, I pulled a turned-off phone with shattered screen out of my pants' pocket. I no longer got a picture on the screen and it didn't seem to react at all to blind typing.

  Not quite snapped, but I did lose the capacitive touch layer on my Nexus 5x sitting with it in my back pocket. Repaired it myself, during which I also managed to wreck the battery. ("Juicyfruit" smell... Definitely broke a cell.) So then I buy a new battery. Then the stupid thing bootloops a few months later, literally as I'm putting it in airplane mode leaving for a business trip. Not having a cell phone during a business trip is not fun at all.

    The issue where they die randomly is IMO the only flaw with that phone.

      I'd still be using mine otherwise. I went back to my Lumia 920 backup phone. Seven years old and the only thing wrong with it is no app updates in forever. I really wish the whole Windows Phone and Nokia partnership had a different ending.

        The Pixel(1,2,...) is basically a heavier metal-frame Nexus 5X without the bug that afflicts Nexus 5Xs. Not a fan of the added weight but the OS is almost perfect.

  Pants are made with pockets on the part you sit on, and people insist on using these pockets for some reason
