The AC Volunteers: What we're using

[Aquila]

In response to the editors post here: The Android phones we're using, December 2016 | Android Central we thought we'd share what we're using as daily drivers this quarter. A lot of us switch phones several times per year, so take this as a snapshot.

 

[James Falconer]

James (James Falconer) - For android right now I have a G4, Honor 8 and Gear S2.

 

[Almeuit]

Jason (Almeuit) - I have been using the 128 GB Pixel XL (Quite Black) on the T-Mobile network. I was using the Note 7 and actually enjoyed the device until... well we all know by now . I decided to go with the Pixel since it has a great camera, battery, and it gets all the goodies from Google. The security patches definitely don't hurt since it is nice to have vulnerabilities patched up.

 

[Aquila]

Matt (Aquila) - I use a Pixel XL as my main personal phone, a Nexus 6P as my work phone and a Pixel C as my mobile mini-whatever. Augment that with the NVIDIA Shield and a somewhat ridiculous gaming PC and I've got lots of buttons to push.

 

[Kevin OQuinn]

Kevin (Kevin OQuinn) - I'm using the 128 GB Quite Black Pixel and 128 GB Black iPhone 7 Plus as my daily phones and the SHIELD tablet K1, iPad Pro 12.9 and Pixel C as my tablets.

Sydney (sydneycooper1979) - Currently using a 128 GB iPhone 7. I miss my Note 7

 

[LeoRex]

Corey (LeoRex) - On my tried and true graphite Nexus 6P (64GB). In my bag I have a black 32GB Nexus 5X as a spare and a LG G Pad 8 X tablet.

 

[Laura Knotek]

I'm still using a Moto X Pure Edition 64GB and a 2013 Nexus 7 32GB.

 

[belodion]

Dave UK (belodion) - Android devices I use are Nexus 5, Nexus7/2013, LG G3 and LG G4. I may also have a few Windows and iOS devices, and in fact, I do.

 

[Javier P]

I'm using a Moto X Play dual SIM as my daily driver, a Moto G 2013 as backup and an ancient iPad 2 as a tablet.

 

[dpham00]

Honor 8
Apple iPhone 7 plus
Moto z play
Gear s2
Nexus 6
Ipad pro 12.9
Tab pro 8.4

 

[Teejai80]

My only phone at the moment is a Moto X Play.

Old Samsung S3 is a security camera.
HP touchpad displays energy graph for my solar panels.

Wearing my old Sony smartwatch 2 as my moto 360 and two pebble Time's have died. Until hopefully I upgrade.

Oh and testing my old N5 as a dashcam.

 

[Ry]

Ryan (Ry) - After spending most of the year on the third gen Motorola Moto X Pure Edition, I've switched to the Motorola Moto Z Force Droid. Battery life is awesome and Motorola isn't regressing when it comes to cameras on their most expensive model. It's also one of the first non-Google phones to get a Nougat update (thanks, Verizon). Moto Mods are interesting and I've bought in, including buying the Moto Mod Droid case. I switch between Moto Style Shells and Incipio Back Plates several times a week and the Incipio offGrid Power Pack can give me multiple days of use. And with Moto's simple approach to the Android UI and the same thoughtful additions dating back to the first Moto X, the Moto Z feels familiar yet crazy at the same time.

 

[D13H4RD2L1V3]

Main Phone: Motorola Moto Z XT1650-03 unlocked model, 64GB in White/Gold
Other phone(s): HTC One M7 unlocked, Galaxy S3 i9300, Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G (all run Android 7.1 via custom firmware)
Tablet: 128GB Apple iPad Pro 12.9 in White/Gold
PC: Lenovo IdeaPad Y410P running Windows 10

Former daily drivers for this year: Replacement LG G4 32GB in brown (H815), Samsung Galaxy Note 7 64GB in Black Onyx (SM-N930F, pre-recall and post-recall. Miss it still)

 

[Golfdriver97]

Joe (Golfdriver97)
My daily driver is a Pixel 32 GB. My backup is a Nexus 5X 32 GB. I use an Nvidia Shield console mainly for streaming, but I do have a few games on it. I also have a Linux PC for desktop browsing.

 

[the tall guy]

My daily driver is Google Pixel XL (32gb) I've also got a Samsung Galaxy S6 and a Nexus 5x for backups.

I don't use tablets anymore, but I've still got my Nexus 7 (2013) lying around somewhere. I've also put my Nexus 7 (2012) in the car and loaded it with kid shows for my son to watch on long journeys.

In my bedroom I've got the Nvidia Shield Console hooked up to the TV for streaming and the occasional gaming. In the living room I've got a Chromecast as well as an Xbox One.

 

[VDub2174]

I'm using the LG V20 as my daily driver.

I also have a Galaxy Tab A 8" and Galaxy Tab E 9.6" as my daily tablets.

 

[Morty2264]

Cynthia (Morty2264): At the moment, I am currently using an LG G3 that is showing its age. I've loved the experience, though! Currently switching to an Honor 8 when it arrives by mail - hopefully soon!

As far as tablets go, I am still using (gasp! ) my BlackBerry PlayBook. It does what I need it to, and I enjoy video browsing and surfing the web on it from time to time.

 

[B. Diddy]

Bill (B. Diddy): Daily driver phone is a Nexus 6P on T-Mobile. Backup phones include an ASUS Zenfone 2, Nexus 5, and Honor 5X, all of which I use intermittently as wi-fi only devices at home. I have two 2013 Nexus 7 tablets, one for my personal use, the other lent out to my daughter. My wife has a Galaxy Note5 and an iPad Mini, and her main computer is a Surface Pro 3.

I have two Android Wear watches, my main one being the Huawei Watch. A 1st gen ASUS Zenwatch and 1st gen Pebble Steel sit in my drawer.

Two 1st gen Chromecasts, one in the living room, the other in the bedroom.

My daily driver computers are both Chromebooks. At home, I use an Acer CB5-571 15.6" Chromebook, while on the road, I bring along my Acer C740 11.6" Chromebook. My daughter uses my old Acer C720. Only when absolutely necessary, I reluctantly use my old HP desktop running Windows 10.
