I was really paranoid about cell phones for awhile, mainly radiation. I got over it and now can’t live without one
I used to buy really crappy phones until my latest one. I now have a samsung s22 ultra. Which is sick. Aside from the battery. Only lasts me a day max if i use it a lot.
I heard it was good. I have the S23 Ultra and it’s amazeballs. I forget what all phones I have had now. One of my past faves was the Sony Xperia Z3. It was one of the first mobile phones with a truly usable camera for serious photographers.
My sister had a Motorola razor v3 at one point around 2014?. She said she loved that phone. My sister has had more phones than me. For 11 years (2004 -2015) I was only contactable by email or landline (not wireless landline) and I managed quite well.
Phones back in the early 2000s were boring and I was not interested with them then. I never had anybody to ring anyway and text messages were 20p a text. Phones today are amazing! A computer in you hand. You can do everything with them!
