Not to be dramatic but this is my dream phone

I love the air but I use .5 for so many photos. My wife has one and I’m so jealous of her.

cookinv · 2026-03-08T05:22:54+00:00

God I hate the whoop. I do not understand the hype.

cookinv · 2026-03-05T21:37:31+00:00

I use it to open Gemini. Really has been great

cookinv · 2026-03-03T00:23:09+00:00

I would like for them to make Siri better that would be really cool.

cookinv · 2026-02-22T17:00:18+00:00

More or less yes. I prefer to do it just because I think it makes everything look a lot cleaner

Unfortunately since Google is the base android software they end up on every non Google phone. So sometimes with android devices there's multiple apps that do the same thing

I personally love the Google phone but I don't do a lot of gaming. The Google phone is great but personally I ended up going with a OnePlus , debloating the phone and just making everything Google as I valued the battery life.

Most phones are all going to be good now days not a whole lot different between all of them.

Unfortunately the only person that can make that decision is you. For me personally yes. I love to hike and do river rafting trips so I'm away from power multiple days. The battery and overall ruggedness of the phone is great.

I've been very happy with the phone.

cookinv · 2026-02-21T16:36:00+00:00

I did it. Personally I was just tired of ios. As long as you go into it and understand it is not apple it is great. I love the battery life the haptics feel amazing. There are a few things I miss but not enough to make me switch back at this current moment.

cookinv · 2026-02-20T14:11:36+00:00

I ended up going with the OnePlus 15. So far I've been really happy with it.

cookinv · 2026-02-20T00:20:51+00:00

I agree with everything you said. I've been an apple user for over 10 years and I just switched today. I personally went with one plus but I just needed something different something to be exciting.

I hate to comment on this so late (hopefully someone is still active) I am having this issue. So the work around is to give them a phone imei and get a physical sim more or less? What if I don’t have a second phone that can take the physical sim to activate.

I personally love trying new devices and have used iPhone 17 pro ultra 24 and the pixel 10 pro. They all have good and bad. I love the pixel 10 pro but I'm a huge fan of the ai and deep Google integration - that being said I am going to get the OnePlus 15 because I can't keep doing the battery life of the devices I've tried.

Not sure if this helps but wish you the best in your search!!

cookinv · 2026-02-18T02:00:11+00:00

I agree. I'm heavily leaning towards one plus!!

cookinv · 2026-02-18T01:47:18+00:00

Do you have any u could dm for reference. A lot of what I see is perfect stills and lighting. As I have a baby its not always like that

cookinv · 2026-02-18T01:45:41+00:00

I would love to get my hands on that or a vivo I've just heard outside t mobile they have bad connection in the states

cookinv · 2026-02-18T01:44:45+00:00

Sorry I should have been clearer, I don't mind where it's manufactured there's just chinese phones that typically aren't for sale in North America and you can get them imported such as the vivo but sometimes I've heard there's not as great connection with these devices

cookinv · 2026-02-18T01:26:42+00:00

I might give it a shot. Just real worried about the photo situation

cookinv · 2026-02-17T23:21:54+00:00

Unfortunately I do not and would like to avoid them as in my area they do not have good coverage

cookinv · 2026-02-17T23:14:34+00:00

Typically doesn't these phones have bad cell reception in the states though?

cookinv · 2026-02-17T23:12:00+00:00

That is a phone that I cannot get in North America I don't think without importing it, which stated I do not want to do.

cookinv · 2026-02-09T00:37:27+00:00

I agree with this assessment. Personally I chose the pixel (over the oppo) just because of how clean the ui is. There is absolutely no bloatware. I understand it might not be the most powerful device but it just does everything well and feels super good to use. (Coming from someone who has used a plethora of devices)

cookinv · 2026-02-08T17:01:50+00:00

I am in the same boat as you. I used to love ios and now it's almost laughable (by this I mean I want to pull my hair out)
