If you had asked me a couple weeks ago, I would have said Unihertz. I loved my tiny little Jelly Star.
Unfortunately, the backlight for the screen died. It is still technically under warranty, but the options they gave me were 1) We’ll ship you the part, and you can pay a local shop to put it in. 2) Pay to mail us the phone, and we’ll fix it and get it back to you in the next month or two. or 3) Buy a replacement phone at a discount.
It irks me that the only option that won’t cost me more money is having them ship me the part and trying to replace it myself.
I still like the little phone, but there is no way in hell I am giving that company any more of my money.
Sorry for the rant. To actually answer the question: I like my Google Phone. I don’t love Google per se, but the phone itself works pretty well.
Edit:
Since writing this, I received the replacement screen, and I will say that it was surprisingly easy to take apart and repair. I don’t think most people already have the tools to do so, and I still don’t think I should be responsible for the repair myself, but I do once again have a functional phone after spending 0 additional dollars. Also, I like the phone just a little bit more because it was substantially easier to take apart than all of the other phone’s I’ve worked on.
