Double-tap to wake/sleep is an essential for me, I couldn't go back to a phone without it. For some strange reason though, I can't double-tap to sleep from my lockscreen - the LG G2 could do this 12 years ago, I don't know why Google hasn't enabled this. :banghead:
Ooh I remember using the knock code on my G2 mini. What a lovely device. I wish I had the chance to try the LG Wing before the demise of the business' phone department.

Google Pixel 6

On Sunday, when I went to plug in my phone to charge in the car it shut off and no longer turns on now. I think the car charger or cable somehow fried the motherboard.

I went to a Google certified repair shop and they said they can't replace the motherboard since it's no longer under warranty. I messaged Google support and they said I can send it in for a free diagnostic and quote for a repair cost, but I won't be able to recover any data since they would have to replace the entire motherboard.

Because I wasn't expecting to make a purchase at this point in time, I'm probably just gonna buy a refurbished or used Pixel 6 Pro or Pixel 7

I got the Pixel 10 Pro back in August. I picked it up at the Google Store in Mountain View. I love how it looks, but the performance has been a bit disappointing. The battery life isn't anything special either. The cameras aren't much better than the Pixel 7 I had, but it's nice to finally have a telephoto lens.

That looks like it's high-quality. Might consider buying that in the future. Idk yet, will have to do more extensive research about that particular phone.
 
Earlier this month, I traded my old Samsung A42 to the S25 FE. The battery was bloating, and I already had it replaced before, so didn't want to go through that again.
 
I picked up a refurbished iPhone 5s on the cheap about a month ago and love the thing. I got my dad's old iPhone case for free as well when he upgraded to a second-hand 6s Plus after my brother-in-law upgraded to a 7 Plus and gave it to him. It's almost overkill for my phone usage, but I love having a phone I can truly do everything with on one device instead of needing multiple to do everything.
Man oh man 8 years ago I had that phone and here I am now looking at that very phone like it's an ancient dinosaur. Boy does time certainly fly:lol:. After that, I had an XR, got a second hand 12 Pro Max, and just a couple months ago picked up a 17 Pro Max. The excitement of the new phone has already worn off since I spend half my time trying to figure out what the hell the new features even do.
 
I've been using an iPhone X that's about seven or eight years old, but I should be getting a much-newer 15 any day now. I can hardly wait to see what sort of photos I'll be able to take with this one! It's even got twice as much storage compared to my current model.

Well let us know when you get it, we're saving up for the most recent Samsung smartphone in the next few months.
