What's the most visually appealing phone you've had so far?
-
Well, if you ever fancy another go, there is a Discord community that helps with such situations. That is how I am planning on de-Googling, once I stop being lazy.
The discord community is where I was getting all my information from. I'm sure it has moved on a bit now as this was a few years ago and whilst I do still have the phone I'll probably wait to get the new one and then I'll play around.
Ive been running graphene the last 3 years now and I don't want to go back to google so once I get the titan 2 I'm going to try my best to get some form of Linux going on it. I fucking hate this touchscreen though so I can't wait!

Personally I think the ZenPhone 9 series looked very sleek and cool - especially the in red colour choice.
Motorola's Moto X, with the back being made of bamboo.
-
HTC One M8, hands down no questions. Curved aluminium back, front facing stereo speakers. Fits the hand like a well tailored glove.
There may be fancier looking phones out there, but nothing I've ever seen looked cooler.
The HTC UI was also pretty cool, as far as I remember

Samsung Galaxy S3. It was my first phone with a large touchscreen; everything before that was a flip phone, or one where half the phone slides away to reveal a full keyboard.

Gotta be the OnePlus 6.

And, yeah, I used to use one like that.
Ahh, classic style.

I think the iPhone 5s would be the one that fits the question IMO.
Maybe I am a bit biased as I want to get a OnePlus Nord 4 (although I will better wait for the 5th) but I really like its design, and the design is like the last thing I care about a phone
(I always end up setting a cheap screen protector and a cheap case). -
I loved my Nokia 7380 art deco phone. It had a screen hidden behind a mirror surface, a rotary dial instead of buttons and even a little fabric flap like a pair of jeans or something.
It was so widely different to anything else out there. I wish it still worked on contemporary wireless services, but alas.
It was a pain to text on but with voice messages becoming a thing, it didn't matter too, too much. I would probably go back if I could.
Yes! When I saw this post the Nokia 7380 was instantly where my mind went. I had the exact same phone, it was rad.
I remember at the time it was referred to as a âlipstick styleâ case. Loved that thing. I still have it in a box of old electronics somewhere, been thinking about digging it out and seeing if I could get it working again but assumed it wouldnât on the current cellphone frequencies. I stopped using it when I got the original iPhone at release, so that was 18 years ago I guess. Havenât not had an iPhone of some variation since.
The simplicity of it is what I always loved about the form factor. Yeah, it sucked for texting but maybe I shouldnât be writing long texts nowadays anyway. It was fine if you are just replying with a couple words to a text. That reflective one way mirrored screen, real leather and simplicity of the buttons was a great mix of form and function for me at the time.
Your picture didnât load for me so I am attaching my own;

The OG Motorola Razr was the most aesthetically pleasing phone I ever remember. Shit was like TOS Star Trek's communicator thingy.

More phones should come with fabric flaps

I really liked the palm pre. Fit well in the band and the slide out keyboard was awesome.

LG Chocolate! I had the white one. It did everything I needed, supported custom ringtones, had paid ring back tones (remember those?), played music, etc. The best thing was being able to text with one hand while not having to look at what youâre typing. Hopefully itâs not nostalgia affecting me with this phone, but it ran flawlessly for years before I eventually upgraded to a Motorola Droid back in the day.
I miss fun phones. I can either have a folding slab, a black slab, or a different slab that comes in other colours. đĽ˛

Edit: looking at it now, it's just a generic flip phone. -
The Samsung U600 was stylish as hell.
I had a Samsung phone not dissimilar to that. It was a brownish color, the D-pad was square not round, but probably had the same internals as that phone. It was tiny, maybe even slightly hard to text on because the 1, 2 and 3 keys were a little close to the slide, if the slide had another 3 or 4mm of travel it would have been an improvement. It had that garbage curved mirror near the camera lens for selfies.

Oh I fucking hated ringback tones. What a goddamn terrible idea.

I'm not sure I'd classify any phone I've had as visually appealing.
My S10e has that white bluepink back they put on them, but it's spent its entire life in a silicone case.
I liked my LG EnV2. It might not have been an amazing looking thing but damn I liked the way it felt to use.
