If I were to get a modern smart phone, it would probably have to be something that natively runs free (open source) software where possible.
Stephen says I would have been gobsmacked if you said something different.

I used different, was quite happy with Xiaomi phones, based on Android. But then again, I am using iPads, and the constant switching from Android and IOS made me crazy. You know what I mean, where is this feature on IOS, where is this setting on Android. Both have their ups and downs anyway.

At some point, my iPod classic, 160MB was almost full and I couldn't put anymore new music, thus my lovely girlfriend bought me an iPhone, 8 I think, with 256MB 2 years ago for Christmas, and I was very happy, still am now, as I still have it. I'm not the guy buying new phones all the time anyway, because also I use it for, phone calls obviously, messaging and sometimes take a picture as it's convenient.

So I guess it only depends on which features you want to have when it comes to buying a new phone. I hate Apple policy though, c'mon man!!

Btw, I once had an Oppo BluRay player, wow, awesome stuff, never had anything like that before. But also the price is quite hefty, I paid around 1.000€, compared to Samsung, Sony or other brands it's quite expensive, but I have to say, worth it. I sold it though, as I was watching 3 BDs per year, streaming took over quite fast.

And at some point I saw that they also made phones, and I totally liked them, but as I'm not so much into phones, and owned one already, I didn't consider buying one. How is it btw, is it running Android or something else?
