Okay once again I need to get another device
. So I have five devices I am looking at.
The Moto 5 G stylus 5G (2022)
The Motorola edge +(2022)
Samsung Z fold 3
Samsung S 21 ultra
Pixel 6 pro.
I know I want something with a stylus or stylus compatible. I know some of you will ask what about the S 22 ultra![Thinking :thinking: :thinking:](/styles/smilies/google/thinking.png)
Can't get it![Er... what? o_O o_O](/styles/smilies/google/confused.png)
![Oops! :oops: :oops:](/styles/smilies/google/oops.png)
Well technically I could but I would run a foul of the wife![Wink ;) ;)](/styles/smilies/google/wink.png)
the note has always been her thing. When she went to upgrade from her note 8 to the S 22 ultra (T mobile Carrier) she was told she would have to deposit $500 and then make the monthly payment's. We had the $500 and probably could have bought the device out right.
However my wife wasn't willing to drop $1,200 or $500 so she went with the S 21 (I think they had a deal on it ).
So back to the list.
The Moto 5 G stylus. Has the stylus, headphone jack, nice size screen
and I like the price . Those are the pros
Cons. It will get one more system update and then bi monthly security patches for two years (??)
Moto edge +
Last year when I was looking at a replacement for the pixel 3 it came down to the pixel 5 or the Moto edge+
I went with the pixel 5 because of the support. Other than that I thought the pixel 5 was a joke (it was)
Personally I thought the 2020 Motorola edge + had the best screen display. It beat out the iphone, the note 20, S 20.
The edge is guaranteed two system updates and I think two or three years of bi monthly security patches.
The Z fold 3 . I have checked out this device several times. The pros it's going to be supported for 3-4 years. You have a phone that turns into a tablet. It's stylus compatible,
I like the displays.
Cons. The price, weight, daughter, work, cases. First the price $50 per month
, I have watched several review videos on it and everyone mentioned the weight and how most car phone holders can't handle the phone weight.
Truck stops sell phone/tablet mounts that could hold it.
My biggest concern is drops. I have drop my phone several times when getting out of the truck, I think my seat sits 5 or 6 feet above the ground.
I intend to use heavy duty cases because of this. So far I haven't found a case I like. The cases offer seem like they would come off on first impact.
At first the Z fold was my first choice but then I started thinking about drops, the price, weight, leaving the phone some where .
The S 21 ultra. Pros stylus compatible, support for 3-4 years. I really haven't seen or read a bad review on the phone
Cons it's last year's model.
I think I would like something that came out in the last two to six months.
Finally the pixel 6 pro. Okay it seems after the mid range jokes of the pixel 3 and 5 that Google is trying to get back into the flagship game.
However after owning two pixel devices that barely lasted a year
The pixel 6 pro is barely a consideration.
