So I'm on the east coast USA and it usually takes a while for my body to wind down because I'm the type of person that once I'm up I'm up for a very long time lol. I long to find friends who are in a different time zone than me because most of the people I chat with are on the east coast and they go to bed quite earlier than I do lol. Feel free to ask me anything. I'm willing to talk 🙂

Hi all, I know most of us likely aren't brand loyalist when it comes to phones and switch from iOS to Android and vice versa, or from Google to Samsung, or from Oppo to Xiaomi, etc.

But for those of us who are, what keeps you sticking with that particular brand? Is it the hardware? software? features? price? or a combination of all these factors and more?

I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this. Thank you.

These days phones have gotten so good across all categories to be the point where there's not much difference in terms of longevity and software experience. It's really hard to find a bad phone these days which is a testament to how well optimized both the hardware and software have become. With that said, do you prefer a midrange or a flagship phone and for what reasons?

So far I've only had flagship phones but I typically keep a phone 4-5 years. So I'm not one to upgrade often so it's worth it to me, but that's just my opinion. But I'm curious what you all think about this topic.

Thanks.

Does the size of a phone play a major factor for you when deciding to purchase or is it more so the price and function of the phone?

I'm curious what you guys think.

Hi all, I just upgraded from my almost 4 year old Pixel 7 to the 10 Pro XL. It's only been a week for me, but so far I'm loving the 10 Pro XL. I've been wanting a bigger display for quite some time. I actually originally wanted to go with the 7 Pro when it was time for me to upgrade from my beloved 2XL but I didn't want a curved display so I decided to go with the base 7 instead. But I'm so glad to finally have a bigger display. This is my first 120 hrz phone and I'm loving it.

For those of us who only have one phone, what is your current phone and which phone would you choose as your backup and why?

I've had other phones before the smartphone era but the very first smartphone I got was in the summer of 2010. Here's all that I've owned so far.

1. LG Ally 3G (2010-2011) 😌

2. Motorola Droid Bionic (2011-2012) 🙂

3. Motorola Droid Razr (2012-2014) 😑😤

4. LG G2 (2014-2015) died way too soon 😞

5. Samsung Galaxy S6 (2015-2017)👍🏿

6. Google Pixel 2XL (2017-2022) 🐐❤️ 😎

7. Google Pixel 7 (2022-2026) 🙂

8. Google Pixel 10 Pro XL (2026- Present)

I'd give an explanation of every phone but this post would be way too long so I'll just end it here lol.

What is your list?

Just got off work, long day. Even though I was with people all day, coming home just makes me realize I have very little people to actually talk with ☹️

Hi I'm 35, I'm a full time teacher, a part time community clown and a part time garbage collector for local apartments. I live in New Hampshire but always wanted to meet people from the other side of the country, I'm a night owl so I need friends to talk with when I'm up.

I'm 35M who loves serving my community and so many families here in my area, but I live alone and many days I long to have people I can talk with after work. I know clowns aren't seen in the most positive light (I understand why) but I love what I do and I just wish I had some people in my circle I can talk with who understand me.

Please feel free to ask me anything, I won't be offended. As a clown I'm used to it and have tough skin 🙂
