I'm Finally Giving Up My Flip Phone
I recently got the iPhone 8 plus. I have never bought a phone when it comes out so I usually get the model a year or two older. I had a Samsung Galaxy 5 for about three years and it was fine but the last probably 6 months it had no battery life and would regularly need to be recharged throughout the day.
The camera on this iPhone really nice. It has a portrait mode which is actually comparable to our nice Canon camera because it uses a 1.8 f stop whereas our standard len only goes to 4 and and we would have to spend another $100 to get a lens that goes that low. Beyond that it’s just kind of a standard smart phone. I don’t think the screen changed much from so older ones not do I think it can really get better. I do know it will not be able to be useful in a few years because Apple seems to push out updates that purposely render old models useless. |

I'm Finally Giving Up My Flip Phone
Here are a few pictures of our dog in portrait mode to get that good blurred effect in the background. Really nice to be able to take this quality right on your phone. I don’t know enough about the specifications though to know how well these would print out. I’m guessing not as clear as our nice camera.

I have two old Motorola flip phones squirreled away in my dresser. One is a red Razor, the other didn't "flip" but was the same basic size. I've had an IPhone 6 since August. I like being able to get internet stuff on it. And I love my phone company Straight Talk. I dumped Sprint after 20 years. Best move ever.

I've had a flip phone now for about 17 years. Currently I have the AT&T Go phone. The phone was $10 at Walmart and I buy a 1000 minutes a year for $100, I'll usually have 900 minutes roll over. We don't have much use for a phone and I use my home computer for everything that I really need.
However, I know a lot of people are joining Movie Pass. For $10 a month you can go to any movie theater and see a movie everyday of the month. One film and you've paid for the plan. Here's the problem, I've been told you need a smart phone to join because you need the ap to purchase the ticket outside the theater. If this is the case, what's the minimum smart phone I could get that wouldn't be a piece of junk and maybe someday I would actually find other uses for it. I hear some people get the phone for hardly nothing because the phone company makes their money on the plans. Others I heard pay hundreds of dollars for a phone. What's the reason for that if you can get phone for nothing? https://www.moviepass.com/ |

I have a samsung and like the android system.
If you do not like the layout, you can get a different launcher and customize the way the screen look, I did Nova Launcher. You will learn it all.

I don’t really know about that movie pass thing but if doesn’t require a data plan or phone connection you could just get any cheap smart phone off of Amazon and use WiFi at the movie theater if available to make the in app purchases. I assume movie theaters wifi. You may want to see if that’s an option for what you are talking about. |

I was called Fred Flinstone with my flip phone so I finally broke down and got the screen touch phone last year.
