    Personally I think the ZenPhone 9 series looked very sleek and cool - especially the in red colour choice.

    I think my current pixel 7 pro is probably the nicest looking smartphone I've owned. Prior to this it was the LG G3.

    Back in the day I had some Motorola TracFone that looked a lot like a razr that I also thought looked pretty cool.

    When my family switched from TracFone I got a Samsung Rogue which I also really liked, but I also remember wishing that my parents had waited a couple months so that I could have gotten my personal pick for the sexiest smartphone of all time instead- the original Motorola Droid. I eventually ended up getting the droid 2, which was, IMO, a fine successor to the droid, but just not as sexy.

      Motorola g8 plus. The photos online do no justice, you need to hold the phone and see it. It had a shiny case, sort of metallic, sort of iridescent, it gave the impression of being made of thick glass over metal or something. The only phone I never wanted a case for, I only used transparent ones for it because nothing out there could look better than the phone itself.

      If it weren't for a forced upgrade to 5g network in my country I'd still be using it.

      Edit: here, I've made a gif of it. It still doesn't look as good. The camera doesn't get the change of color to purple, and the gradient from dark to light gets lost. The reflection on the surface also throw the camera off. But all that said, it's better than a still photo.

            The V3i, I paid full price for that phone when it came out. I modded that thing as much as I possibly could!

              Downvote me all you want but I actually liked the Surface Phones.

              They were well built, I could multitask nicely, the thin bumpers were nice, it wasn't overly gimmicky. I preferred the divider between the screens.

              Downsides...not a flagship in any specs. Also terminated.

              I learned about them two weeks before they lost support, wanted one really bad and I'm glad I had only just bought a phone already (Pixel 7a) otherwise I would have bought it only to then look up the update cycle and see it was about to be discontinued.

              That being said, reviewers noted at the time that the multitasking on Android was a bit clunky, which may have been an opening for a custom ROM to come in and improve this.

                I'd definitely say the cameras on the Pixel 4a looked unique for their time, but the rest of the phone was very same-same otherwise. I did like the corner cut out for the front camera though.

                My current phone (Pixel 7a) has the camera visor, but even then the whole thing is very same-same again.

                I have a soft spot for the iPhone 4/4s as I saved two 4s devices from ewaste a couple years ago through work and I personally think it was peak iPhone. The thick premium sandwich of glass with aluminum frame, the weight and heft, it felt stocky and sturdy, it was one handed, the back glass was easily replaceable.

                The rest of my phones in history weren't remarkable for their looks though in my opinion. So my answer is the iPhone 4s

                    Yes! I had the candy bar version, the Slvr.

                    It scratched that cyberpunk itch.

                      My vote goes to LG V10. Not only did it look great, it felt great in hand too.

                        My first smartphone was the LG Optimus G. It had a textured pattern on the back that made my other phones look plain by comparison.

                          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.

                            Iconic. That flip open/snap shut feeling. Insanely thin at the time.

                              HTC Legend, the first smartphone I ever had. I still have several apps from it that I've kept carrying across. Comparing them with the stuff you can get now shows how bad apps and widgets have gotten. Anyhow, the phone design was really Nice.

                                    The original HTC Incredible. Comparatively speaking, it was a very modern looking phone. The back was the thing that people noticed. It had a weirdly shaped battery cover back. The physical interface was pretty great and it included an optical cursor or whatever you want to call it.

                                    ::: spoiler modern phone gripe

                                    It could be operated with one hand whether you've got big hands or small hands. I hate the fact that everything now is available only in phablet and bigger phablet.

                                    And without user swappable batteries. Ugh.

                                      I wish the current Razr smartphone series was also a book foldable instead of only clamshell foldable 😞
