2014 - 2015

Galaxy A5

A transitional period phone with a matte metal back panel that feels good in hand, but it became a dedicated connecting device for the old, hard-to-use blender bought by my mom due to its outdated system version.

My first Note series phone, after that I became a fan of the Note series. I gave it to my grandpa.

Galaxy S7 Edge+

Due to the Note 7 exploding, I chose the S7, and I gave one of them to my aunt. The rest have all been recycled.

2017 - 2018

Galaxy Note8

Breaking the 16:9 aspect ratio, along with the iris scanner, won over fans. Originally, I planned to retire it, but I had to continue using it as a backup phone because the S9+ got damaged. Later on, it experienced screen flickering issues.

Galaxy Note9

It was an awesome phone. But also encountered screen issue. After replacing the screen and installing Lineage OS, it’s now my work phone.

Galaxy S9+

Due to both ISP contracts expiring simultaneously, I got a new S9, but my mother accidentally dropped it and damaged the lower-left corner of the screen. Now, sleeping in the drawer.

It was the first phone with a punch-hole screen and also the last Samsung phone for me. Now it is sleeping in a drawer.

2020 - 2021

iPhone 12 Pro

After using Android devices for a long time, I wanted to try something different. Lighter than the Note 10+ make it easier to hold.

iPhone 13 Pro

Due to the serious screen issues on the Note9 that I had given to my dad, I purchased an iPhone 13 Pro and gave him the iPhone 12 Pro to use (which he then sold).

iPhone 15 Pro

I’m on the Dynamic Island now. The new phone, compared to the iPhone 13, is much lighter and has improved tactile feel. It also has a USB-C port, which makes it seem like it will be usable for at least two years.
