Phone Brand you've held onto the longest?

[LitrosNub]

HTC, Samsung, LG, all phone brands. But with all of that. Which phone brand have you sticked with the most? Like I spent at least 5 years with LG, Starting with the Optimus V, now the L70, and soon to buy a pre-owned Optimus G Pro. I trusted them, and now I'm going to get another quality phone from a company I trust. Which one have you hanged onto to the longest? That you've stuck with them for a while?

I'd have to say LG. I came over to Android for the Galaxy S3. I then got the LG Optimus G Pro which I absolutely loved. Next came the G3 I'm currently using and loving. In between I picked up a Nexus 5 I also still have. Next will definitely be the G4.

Nice to hear an LG fan, heard nothing but good things from the G Pro, can't wait to buy it. It's outdated but since I'm on a budget. It's going to be 100% worth it.

I'd have to say lg too. I started with the lg optimus v, then the htc evo v, then the lg f3, and now the nexus 4. Next I'm not sure maybe a nexus 5 or a Moto x. If I had the money for a nexus 6 I might. Thanks y'all,
Anthony.

Motorola. Since back in the brick phone days. I had a few Samsungs and a Kyocera way way back but mostly Motorolas. Love the radios and build quality. The Moto X (1st and 2nd gen) are, hands down, the best phones I've ever had.

HTC since 2010.

Motorola .

[iowabowtech]

Hmm, last 7 phones in order were Kyocera, Moto, Blackberry, HTC, Nexus, LG, Sammy. I'm beginning to feel like I have serious commitment issues and I may need a hug.

 

[EarlyMon]

Must. Bite. Tongue.

 

[Hadron]

HTC with Android.

Motorola made the best feature phones I owned, but they've never been good with non-US markets for their smartphones (typically releasing them very late if at all - the G series is an exception, and they were better with the second generation X than the first, but there's still no sign of their current flagship in Europe so they still haven't fully moved on from their narrow geographical focus).

My smart phone history is really short, only two, but for some reason I've stuck with LG and so far both LG phones have been great for me.

 

[El Presidente]

Of my 6 android handsets, 3 have been HTC, 1 Samsung, the Nexus 4 and a Sony.

I've spent the most time with HTC.

 

[codesplice]

Of my long-term daily drivers (rather than just phones that I play with on occasion):

1x HTC, 1x Samsung, 1x LG

Of course, they're all Nexuses, so that may be where my loyalty lies.

I've spent the longest with my Nexus 4. It will be 2 years in July. Before that I had a Samsung Captivate for only 1 year. Before that I had some Samsung feature phone for about a year. I averaged a year-year and half on all of my feature phones.

I'll probably keep the 4 for a long time.

 

[AZgl1500]

Smartphones? only two, Samsung Galaxy S, and S5

prior to that, Nokia, Casio, Motorola..... whatever was cheapest on eBay.

 

[Stuntman]

For smartphones, I am currently using a Samsung Galaxy S3. I've had it for almost 3 years now and keep using it until a Project Ara phone is commercially available. Prior to that, I used an HTC Desire Z for a year and a half before the battery died. Last year, I bought a new battery for it and use it as a backup phone. Before that, my first smartphone was a Nokia N97. I used it for 7 months before I ditched that PoS. I still have it for playing music over an FM radio as the phone has an FM transmitter.

Before smartphones, I had a Nokia 6126 flip phone for a few years. Prior to that, it was a Siemens for a few years. Before that, it was a carrier branded phone for several years. I do not recall what brand it was.

 

[lunatic59]

Since getting my first mobile phone I have spent 3 years with Motorola, 9 with Nokia, 2 with HTC, 5 with LG and 2 with Samsung. Of course there is a bit of overlap here as I rarely only have one phone. Viva la Difference!®

 

[chanchan05]

Still Nokia. Let me see. Except for a brief 2 year stint with the Motorola v3i in 2005-2006, that means I've had a Nokia for about 7 years between 2002-2010. I got my first Android sometime about 2011. Always used a Samsung for Android.

 

[mikedt]

Nokia, 1998-2010, although for part of 2008 I was using an iPhone. Since 2010, 2 Samsungs, 1 Lenovo, 1 fake Samsung, and current phone is Oppo.

 

[Enahmir]

Samsung

 

[dontpanicbobby]

I guess you'd have to say HTC for me. I started with the HTC G1 when they were first released then graduated to a Samsung Galaxy S2 and later the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. I use the HTC M8 now. I sold the S2 earlier this year for $100 and I still have the G1 and the Note 3 but my daily driver is the HTC M8.

 

[Omar Days]

I have no brand allegiance. But of the 5 smart phones I've owned, 2 were HTC (Magic, and Desire HD). The rest were Samsung Note, Nexus 5, and Nexus 6.

 

[psionandy]

Three HTC devices, 2 samsung, 2 Huawei and a one plus.... If we're only talking smartphones that is

 

[quest7]

The longest was the Droid Incredible. After that, I went with gs3 and now gs4. Think I will get the Note 4 next. I guess I'm use to TouchWiz and having the removal battery and sd card slot. Heard good things about the moto x line, curious and still watching tech reviews.

Between 1997 and 2010 I bounced around between most carriers, T-Mobile, AT&T, TracFone, VirginMobile, Verizon. I did mostly prepaid and had everything LG, Erickson, Motorola, Samsung, HTC. In 2010 I got the T-Mobile G2 phone with T-Mobile, had it almost two and half years, after that I went with the Samsung Galaxy S3 had it almost two years. Since July of 2014 I have been primarily with Nexus, I did do a few months with an LG Optimus L90 , since January its been the Nexus 6 and I am planning to take a page from the wife's cellphone playbook, hold on to a phone until it gives out completely, won't hold a charge and does whatever it wants
