I was chilling and having a few drinks with one of my best friends.

At the time I was slightly hurt.

I can understand why.

The iPhone 4 was the first decent smartphone I ever got and it was a revelation.

The phone was so magical, and well-made, it honestly felt like the future.

But it was also fucking cool.

Its not old; its retro.

The S7 is not one of the best phones of the 2010s.

Its the best phone ever made.

My only dream as a teenager was to own the latest iPhone.

My phone addiction started with a yellow, plastic, now tiny-looking iPhone.

Compared toApples latest iPhone, the 5c is like a flamboyant uncle bursting into your family home.

But to me, the iPhone 5c was special for more than just its looks.

The Moto G5 replaced my Samsung S6 after I smashed it on a night out.

Basically, the Moto G5 is the Nokia 3310 of the 2010s.

You cant kill this thing.

Its rock solid, works great, and even has a 13-megapixel camera.

Its the perfect secondary or traveling phone.

Or primary phone for the clumsy.

Even better, I bought this thing for only $140.

And you know what?

The iPhone X is hands down my favorite phone of the 2010s.

Hell, that mustve been what heroin feels like.

So, heres to you X, and your beautifully weird forehead.

The One X wasnt my first smartphone, but it has been the most memorable.

For months, Id marveled at pictures of its gorgeous unibody polycarbonate construction and its distinctive camera bump.

Id memorized its hardware specifications and read several reviews, all of which lauded its superlative performance.

And, by late 2012, it was mine at last.

But what I loved most about the phone was the way it felt in my hand.

Its compact and slightly curved body was oh so comfortable to hold a far cry from todays oversized slabs.

I believe the One X was among the best examples of smartphones made of plastic.

But I still dream of a compact phone with the same design, and that unforgettable curved body.
