Using the hand-me-down mobile phone my big brother gave me.

My big brother, when he arrived from UK last December, made me and my sister choose between 2 colors-black or white. Since he asked me first, I said "black". Sis had no choice but the "white" .
I was right. He wanted us to choose the colors of the boxes of the phones he wanted to leave to us. Black is Samsung Note while the white is Sony.
Great, I thought. I can have the Samsung phone. But my beloved sister uttered sony again. (She has a Sony already.)
Therefore I told her we can switch phones. The Sony is my first phone anyway, and this is where I am doing this discussion. She can have the Samsung. I did the changing of the screen saver, deactivated some apps, and placed my email account.
My sister? She still needs assistance from me or my son.
Now, this is it, my first post on mylot.
Good evening all...

@ridingbet My Samsung as well needs replacement. The battery drains fast even I don't use it for gaming.

@jobelbojel the SamSung has my TM sim number. since the battery stays strong for 12 hours, even though it is new, my son said my phone is old model that is why it consumes more its battery.

I prefer Samsung. It is what I have been using the past couple of years.

@ridingbet Sony was popular a couple years back but then it fell to the wayside.

SamSung has a bigger font for me here, and i was also able to change the font to a stylish keyboard. i don't think Sony is famous here.

yes, thank you. the Sony Experia , when the battery is fully recharged, stays at 2 days battery active that is why i sometimes play a game that i downloaded there.

I have no idea about which is better. I like the Apple iPhone because of all the apps available.

the apple given by my brother was i think the first edition he had in UK. it is smaller, and i think i cannot even Bluetooth a picture from Ios to Android, because it is user-friendly

iPhone is user=friendly, right? therefore, you can just Bluetooth from one iPhone to your phone. hahah! I have the first iPhone and i cannot even download music from the desktop.
