I used iphones until about the 10 era, and my brother has always been in the android ecosystem.
Personally, one of the only things I care about is having a smaller phone. I do not want a brick in my pocket. I do not care about screen size.
I switched around the 10 because at the time I didn't like the offerings (too big, too expensive), and got a motorolla. It was....ok? Widgets were great (although now on iphone), but there were a lot of issues. Not that there aren't with iphone, but it mostly felt like I was trading pretty evenly for good/bad.
The phone lasted a few years, but with major call quality issues for the last 2 that I only stuck out because of the hellscape that is the phone market. When shopping for a new one, once again a smaller phone was my only priority, so I got an SE, because I couldn't find a half decent android that wasn't huge.
- sonofhans 3y agoI’ve been buying the Mini line for my partner, and they’re remarkably good. Very small and light, but otherwise new top-line hardware. They’re not going to make more, it seems, since they don’t sell well.
- gandalfgreybeer 3y agoI usually upgrade every 2 years (due to mobile retention plan) and just get one from the latest line. This year was the first year I got an older model since I really like the size of the mini. Will likely not get a bigger phone in the future unless it has a killer feature or phones the same size as the mini (hopefully it becomes the SE) is no longer supported
