Weekly Poll #6: Smartphones

[Jason Tandro]

Running a bit behind this week and what better way to commemorate that than with the devices that cause us to waste more time than anything ever invented?

For me, I like Android the best. I love the freedom of the devices even if the are a bit clunky at times. Apple makes a very aesthetically pleasing device but I always feel so restricted using one.

Xiaomi allllllllll the way. first time I'd call myself an actual fanboy of a tech company. the value for money is absurd! smartphone, router, vaccum roboter - all xiaomi

I voted "I don't use a smartphone". xD

In fact, I can top that - I don't use a non-smart mobile phone either.

If anybody ever wants to call me, they can get me at home or leave a message if I'm not there at the time.

I have an Android. Cheaper than Apple products (I don't need to pay $1500 for a new smartphone that will do what an Android at half the cost or more than half can do)... currently have a LG V10. Bought it new with a tax return last year, love it.

My first smartphone was an Apple iPhone 4. While I used it, I hated that I can't add additional diskspace, the ludacris amount of different charger cables, and that it was outdated.

Then I switched to Android. I enjoy 128 GB of space (holds all my music) and 5000 mAh of power and a more modern software. But I have to deal with a virus/adds now, which can only be helped by formating the whole thing :/

I know how to keep a Windows PC clean and virus free, but how do I properly set up an Android phone?

I don't think you can. virus scanners are even more useless on android then on windows. best thing you can do is adblock, but that's limited on android phones. I haven't had any virus anywhere in the last 10 years propably, so I can't even imagine how you got one? through normal browsing or faulty apps?

And just like at work, I'm the only guy with an iPhone.

Hey, don't worry about that. 'Cos just like at work (and home, and amongst friends, etc), I'm the only guy without a phone.
