Nice, that's not a bad deal.

iPhone 12. It’s small. Smart enough. Smarter than I am.
And for no reason, I don’t want Android Googles.

I will say, the old LG phone just took a .177 pellet, which broke the sound barrier, and it didn't pass through or even dent the back. 😀
I’ve got old worthless iPhones also but, not going to try those just yet.

And then this happened with a different gun and scope instead. Same hole. Still laughing. Mantle piece there.

It was intentionally shot, old, and doesn’t take a charge, and not an iPhone.

I have a Samsung Z Flip 4 since 1.5 years now. It's decent but not great. Samsung's Android is driving me nuts sometimes. My previous phone is a Huawei P30 Pro, which was much better. I miss that. I still own it as a backup and wouldn't mind going back if my Samsung fails, but it's no longer getting security updates :/

Out of interest, any one who has got a S25 Ultra, how do you find the speaker quality? I got mine just over a week ago but only got around to setting it up yesterday. It sounds quite a bit worse than my S23 Ultra. It has like a tinny sound to all voices, sounds quite low quality. Everything sounds shrilly, even notification sounds sound bad. I wonder if that is just how they are or I just got unlucky with a faulty unit. Seeing some posts online, there are users complaining about quality but there are people that are happy with theirs saying it is a big step up in that department.
Only problem for me is I ordered the 1TB Jet Black version from Samsung direct and it has been out of stock to even order since launch until today when they have finally got a delivery date of 24/03/2025 so over a month away so not sure if worth the hassle of potentially waiting over a month for replacement if it sounds just as bad / get unlucky with a faulty unit again if that is what it is. Best case scenario, a software update can fix it if it is a bug that is making everything sound low bit depth. Might just go back to the S23 Ultra.

I switched to a pair of Moto G 2024 phones, one Power and one Play as a backup. I still have my ham radio/Android combo unit.

I still have my Samsung Galaxy A53. Mom bought it for me in 2023. I didn't want it initially but I took it anyway. It served me well.

I heard nothing but bad things about S25U. I'm using a S23U right now and I have no plans to buy a new one anytime soon.

Should we get a Samsung Galaxy A16? They're selling them at our local Verizon store for $300. I'll see what other cheap smartphones they have. Ours is over 4 years old. We bought our Samsung Galaxy S9 at Walmart for $800 in November 2020. What good reliable phones do you guys have that me and my mother can research and look into getting?

I picked up an Honor Magic V2 for pretty cheap (relatively to folding phones) a few months ago. I use it for some work tasks when not in the office or at home and it also means I don't have to take a tablet with me as often as I used to.
I went for the V2 over the V3 for the simple reason of price, the V2 has more performance than I need it to, but was around £500 cheaper. Both were significantly cheaper than respective Samsung models. Although Samsungs OneUI is definitely a leader for phone UI, the Magic V2 isn't that far behind, so given the over £1000 saving in cost, I can live with the difference.

We called Verizon back the other day and the woman said that they had a Galaxy A16 on sale for $160 plus tax. We're going to buy it in the next 2 weeks, she said it's on sale until the end of the month. You can still get online on it and save/store your pictures on the phone which is what we want.
