My 2017 - The year of switching, and the P10.

31 of December and 2017 is soon to end. For me it has been a year of smartphones, and to be honest a year of unfulfillment...

I thought I share my story, please let me know yours.

Going into 2017 I had a OnePlus 3 (not T, and I was still pissed about that). Before that I had a OnePlus one and I felt home with the OnePlus phones. However I got a new job were I was allowed to choose my one phone and decided to choose a phone for its camera since that was what the OnePlus was lacking. Since I was on a budget (kind of) I went for the Huawei P10.

The Huawei P10 was actually a great phone and the camera was great, I am definitely not a pro photographer but I really liked the results. My only problem we that coming from OnePlus, the phone developed for the entusiast i felt that the P10 was a little "meh".

I therefore, went back to OnePlus by purchasing the OP5. Holy moly was that a snappy phone. Super fast and fluid software and a much better camera them in the 3T. However, seeing all bigger brands (Samsung, Apple, Huawei, google pixels, and even OnePlus with its 5T (yep, pissed again) ) I felt the OnePlus 5 did lack that extra which many 2017 flagships had. (Read: small bezels, even better camera, and so on) I sold my OP5 and bought me an Essential phone.

The Essential phone is my daily driver right now. I love the screen and build. Love the footprint and the software. It is a really good phone, over all. It does have its problems and one of those are definitely the camera. My first impression of the camera was that t was Soo much better than all the reviews and Reddit threads stated. I got some really good results with the Essential phone. Then came the Christmas and with that a lot of low light indoor photography which showed how much the camera is behind phones as the Pixel, Note 8, iPhone 8+/X, Huawei mate 10 pro (or even P10).

So what I am going for here is that the Huawei P10 is a way better phone then it is recognized for. It is an overall very good phone software and performance wise and with a camera that is actually quite good it wins my small (very small) phone of the year award.

How was your phone year and which is your favorite?

Removable batteries discussion

I have always preferred phones with removable batteries so far, thinking that it will most certainly be the first component in a device to fail. I have even advised people in my circles to do so, until a recent event. A family member of mine still uses a HTC DesireX. Recently, he wanted to replace his battery because of swelling. He bought two matching batteries from different sellers. The problem is, even though they were unopened/sealed packages of original batteries, they were not holding much charge. (I suppose they waited on a shelf for some time.) This made me question myself. In the past, I have used nokia smartphones, and they were easy to replace with fresh batteries, since almost all nokias used the same battery type. Now with android, its all over the place. Is it even worth it to go for a removable battery device when you cant find a replacement a couple of years after you purchase it? What do you think/prefer? PS. I realize this is not exactly fault of android OS, but ...
