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

        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.

          BlackBerry. Dang I miss them. They were business cool. Now I make due with a Unihertz Titan Slim. And hopefully they upgrade to a second one cause age is showing on mine.

              One of the first phones I ever saw was my cousins nokia 3110 ... and I just thought it was the prettiest thing ever. But by the time I got to have my own phone it was already pretty outdated so I never got one.

                    My old mate’s phone stuck with me for decades. Not sure if it’s pleasing but sure is something

                      Probably a red Blackberry Pearl Flip. One of the last phones I had that wasn't a featureless black slate covered in rubber.

                        I know it isnt the same form factor but the Titan 2 is coming soon with pre-production units being sent out to people already and estimated release in October.

                        I had the original titan and will probably get this to try it out but that also means a Titan Slim 2 is a possibility at some point. The key2 that the slim copies is the best phone I ever owned I think!

                          I sadly had to retire my Key2, easily the nicest phone I've owned since 1994.

                          I bought the Titan but returned it for being so underpowered in comparison. Is the Titan Slim2 going to improve on that?

                            Same, I replaced the screen 3 times and the battery once before my keytwo finally gave in and I had to admit defeat.

                            There is no titan slim 2 yet, just the regular titan which is like a BB passport in form factor but chunkier, I'm just speculating that if they are continuing the line hopefully there will be a new slim in the future.

                            The few pre release reviews I have watched regarding the titan 2 say that the it is snappy and nice to use with a considerable improvement over the old one but it is still a $300 phone so it isnt going to be top of the range power able to run all the most taxing games. Really though the kinds of people this phone is aimed at aren't the type to be as worried about that and with a 1:1 ratio screen a lot of games and such would probably be painful to play.

                            I suggest you check out a couple of videos if you are interested because I don't really know the in depth details because I don't really care about the processor etc as long as it runs the phone at an acceptable rate, I'm in it for the keyboard 😄

                              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!

                                        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.

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

                                          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
