If you like to geek out on your phone/phablet/tab, etc. - post'em here.
I'm an Android guy so there is no Apple garbage in mi casa but here's my list of dorkiness.

  • Samsung S5 (daily driver)
  • Samsung S5 (backup)
  • Samsung S4 (workout apps, music/video player)
  • Samsung S3 (just because)
  • Samsung Captivate (for nostalgia)
  • UMI Touch (given to me -can't use in the USofA)
  • Moto X Pure (trying out this week)

I'm on the AT&T 4G/LTE Network.

Samsung 10" Tablet for chilling in my Lay-Z-Boy

Other stuff:
  • Amazon Fire Stick (rooted with Kodi)
  • Roku III
  • Chromecast
 
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5, a Samsung Tab, 2 Ipads, Surface Pro 3, and a Surface Pro 4.

I also have 2 MacBooks, a laptop, and a desktop.

Oh and 2 Amazon Kindles.
 
Used have android, but don't much care about super customization so now have iPhone 6, iPad, and a Lenovo X1 Carbon laptop.
 
I have the OnePlus One as my daily phone. I use the original Google G1 (the first ever Android phone) as my spam phone whenever I need to give a number to a company or website. It's also my backup alarm clock.

I have a Kindle Fire HD and an LG Gpad for tablets. The Fire gets the most use as it's a handy size for inside a jacket pocket as a book reader.
 
I have my penis.



I am so happy for you. *wink*




My phone wasn't named but I have a Galaxy Note 3. I am spoiled by it. Down the road when I get a newer phone, I am going to stick with a Note. I love the size of it. IN this case, size does matter.
 
I got a free mini Samsung tablet and hate its auto correct feature. Hate it. Apple auto correct is so much better.
 
The T-Mobile-plugged "Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime DUOS 8GB Factory Unlocked GSM Smartphone -International Version" is supposed to arrive today but I don't think Amazon delivers on Sunday so it'll maybe get here tomorrow. That's our first smartphone, to be used only as a WiFi hotspot. We tossed the 2G AT&T cells a few years ago, replaced with Motorola TracFones. The Vizio 8-inch Android tablet is now just a media feed; our Samsung S7 Android tablets (one each) serve our non-PC needs. We don't do no Apple shit 'round here, never have, never will. (I've hated'em since the Apple II.)
 
I still have a Galaxy S III. I need to get a new battery, because this one is getting worn, but otherwise it still works well. I also have a Galaxy tab that works pretty well too.

I like Apple computers, but didn't like iOS when I tried it a while ago, so I went android, I really like Swipe "typing." I've got a Chromcast that works with the Tab, phone and my MacBook Pro, so I'm happy.
 
I am not a phone geek. My iPhone 5s works dandy and the first gen FLIR One thermal imager that fits it is a lot of fun to play with. I had a Samsung Galaxy 2S once and thought it was a little too large for my tastes.

i have a galaxy prime, works like a dream.

i had an apple phone once.
once :mad:
 
I still have my Samsung Galaxy III Note with an extra battery for when I travel (I love this thing!), two Samsung tablets, an Ipad (which convinced me not to give up my Android), and a laptop. I've been with Sprint since forever and don't see that changing anytime soon.

Lol...My garbage iPhone 6S plus doesn't need a backup. I also don't need another phone just for workout apps & music/video player. Your two Samsung S5s must suck if they can't handle the strain.
 
How I surf Lit:
  • Phone: Samsung S7 Edge
  • Tablet: Samsung Galaxy Note 2014 (about to be replaced)
  • Kickass gaming pc
  • other PCs around the house that take leftover parts (4)

Oops, I forgot to add I just got a Kindle Voyage - to force myself just to read and not surf/Skype.

Have a few Chromecast, but now I just use Amazon Fire box thing.

Also, which do you prefer, the roku or chromecast?

Two different beasts though slowly merging features. The Roku has apps you add to it and stream that way, like a phone. The Chromecast you send content from your phone/pc/tablet to it -- so it does nothing by itself.

Huh, never heard of it. How old are we talking about here?

2009-2010.
