Specs aside, what's the best (BEST) smartphone design of all time?

nexus 5 but with unbranded back and bottom bezel as small as the top one.

Definitely Nexus 5.
Still rockin' it, anyone else?

iPhone 5s

Iphone 5.

iPhone 5

Design wise I'd say the HTC One M8, if you put a different camera on the M8 it'd be the GOAT

This.

I was still using my original nexus 5 up until 2 weeks ago when my OP3 arrived.

no, you faggot
you are the only one on this planet using that fucking phone

Increase the screen size by thinning out the bezel and it'd be great.
Posted from my Nexus 5

How do you like the OP3? I'm thinking of buying the 3T next month and trying to weigh my options.

5s or 4

god tier

kyocera durascout

Nice. I came here to say G1. If they made a comparable spec model today, I'd buy one in a heartbeat.

Currently using V20 and no complaints, but I'm over the candy bar style

Miss the shit out of that phone.

Nokia N9

2/10 made me respond

ZTE Axon 7.

Toss up between Nexus 5, iPhone 4, Nexus One, Note 7.

All those phones were God-Tier, well except for the N7 blowing the fuck up.

iphone 5S
nexus 5
n9

Maybe one HTC phone?

>device specifications aside
Then by what metric are we judging them by?

>ZTE Axon 7
front looks fine, similar to some HTC
back, looks like shit.

iPhone, lets be serious here.
Every phone is just trying to copy iPhone in design.

Damn right they are!

tsk tsk, children these days... ip5 is just an ugly stretched out version of the true perfection

>implying the 2g isn't the most aesthetically pleasing and comfortable design in your hand

...

...

It's alright, the entire glass back was stupid as fuck though. With the iphone 5 I love the two glass glossy black panels with the aluminum matte black in between.

Xperia z3 compact

Nexus 4
Nexus 5
LG Stylo
Palm Pre

I actually just bought one for $90. Love how fast phones devalue. Still thinking of getting a Blackberry Pearl though

This.

The proof is in its reuse as iPhone SE.

dumpy piece of shit

HTC One M7
HTC One M8

mine broke quick cause of the shit quality build

Blackberry phones are most /fa/ and durable

iPhone 5S camera quality

i wish they brought these back with how god tier specs are these days. i'd love a great way to play emulators on my phone without clipping a faggoty bluetooth controller to it.

this tbqh

I am. Will be three years in a month.

2014 moto x
>really thin bezels
>super comfy in hand feel
>perfect button placement
>front facing speaker (if only it was stereo)
>diverse material and color selection
>etc

desu the '15 is better

S6 or S7 edge

all of the moto x' have had pretty nice designs.

IMO, the most comfortable is the 2013 model, but the 2014 model is a perfect balance of size/comfort.

The 15 is the most comfortable phablet I've also used, so it's by no means a poorly designed phone. I just think at that size it's a bit difficult to make a comfortable phone, since you won't be able to do everything one handed.

Yep but going to replace the battery soon.

mine just fucking broke (antenna drops many calls when on LTE)
tried everything to fix it (both hardware and software methods)
even got a new sim card as a last resort though I knew it was not likely to solve the problem

Rocking since release day
Was planning to use indefinitely since there is nothing good to upgrade to. Disappointed since there are no more repair steps I could try

just did it a month ago on mine
too bad cell radio chose to break itself

If it had a bigger battery and a micro sd slot it would be the best smartphone ever

This. I really wish they'd go back to small smartphones instead of every new phone being bigger than the last.

The fuck is that stupid looking shit?

S6 or s7 edge, it's just so smooth

>amoshit
no thanks

Hell, I could live with no SD card if it had a better camera.

if the usb port fails how are you supposed to recover your pictures tho

The 3GS was much better.

Galaxy S5
>Waterproof
>Removable Battery
>SDcard slot
>Perfect thickness and screen size
>USB 3.0
Only downsides I can think of are touchjizz and the camera bump

*and the phone can't turn on b/c of water damage

Nice glass back shitter.

Fuck that. I owned two nexus 5s. That shit was cheap as a Thai hooker. The plastic back plate would crack and the whole phone would bend from even being in my pocket.

>2016
>plugging your phone in to get pictures off of it instead of having it automatically upload pictures to dropbox

your ways are outdated, old man

My gweilo

>having it automatically upload pictures to dropbox
m e m e

I wonder what it's like being this autistic...

if you go hiking and your phone gets damaged beyond repair you're fucked unless you have a microSD card though

pretty comfy desu, my gf is hot and autistic as well. we have sex in the woods a lot and I cum inside her as she calls me a filthy gaijin, I am essentially living the dream

>GF
Now that's Autismo Turbo Mode!

>he uses a smartphone

it may have been a misdiagnosis tbqh

Nexus 5X ofc

>m e m e
What's that mean, "Makes Everything Much Easier" ?

Oppo Find 5
iPhone 5
Nexus 5

noticing a trend here..

One with square sides and about the size of the customers average hand.

/thread

It's an ugly plastic piece of shit.
>waterproof
At the expense of a fucking plastic cover on the USB port lmao.

It got a little small for today standards, but holy shit this is glorious. Material quality was absolutely stunning, entire display half was made of metal, quality plastics were sitting tightly in their places, metal back was covered in rubber to make it more comfortable to hold, plus all of those little golden accents. It was so fucking beautiful from every possible angle.

qwerty was shit though, worst qwerty i ever used. Well, at least it was still qwerty.

fad

100% screen

Awful.

Still using my nexus 5

Just replaced mine two weeks ago. Got a 7 dollar one from Newegg. Not sure how long it'll last but I'll just get another one when it starts to suck

IPHONE5S

Looks like shit

one with physical buttons

Flat topped hard edged designs are the best. Whatever fits that description with the smallest bezels wins by default

My man..

Zenfone 2

It even runs windows 7

nexus s

>zxcv[space]bnm
I mean, I'm a fan of the whole the square display+qwerty thing, but this shit pains my autism.

Maybe this if they applied this design.

Up yours aplel fag

The HTC Sensation was Gods gift to mankind.
>perfect size
>curved backside with good rubbery grip
>anodized aluminium chassis
>the screen was somewhat indented to protect against scratches
>four buttons blow the screen
>durable

Cons:
>speakers on backside

My Sony z3 Compact lose in both in terms of comfort and buildquality/durability compared to the Sensation.

Olá user

Cuidado com a gordura pah

Who cares? They're all rectangles that are mostly screen. You'd have to be autistic to care about the differences in design between modern smartphones.

i fail to understand why rubbered backs were dropped for today standards
>back then, smartphones were small and easy to handle
>still, rubberized back was helping user hold it properly
>nowadays everything is a fucking tablet
>with glass/material back so it can fly out of your hand easier
>not to mention how better does matte rubber looks compared to shiny shit

what is wrong with device manufacturers

I had a Droid (Branded as Milestone on my country), a Galaxy S2 and a Nexus 5. I loved them all, but Droid was special. This keyboard was amazing, the sturdiness remembered me of the old Motorola phones. It was classy as fuck.

I have one since Jan/2014. It still working, battery is somewhat durable when you stop bad apps running on background. Everything works fine. But I'm thinking in replacing it after new years eve.

This, M7 is just the most beautiful phone ever made, too bad it has a shitty battery and that option buttons that pop up on every app, also bad camera.
