If we're talking about how I felt about the phone in its time, definitely the iPhone 4. It was the last revolutionary iPhone. But today, obviously, my favorite is what I have now, the 6s Plus.
Agreed, the 6 plus was a dumpster fire.Used to be the 4, now it is the SE. I also owned a 6 Plus, which was my least favorite.
Vote and tell why it's your favorite!

For me, it has to be the iPhone 5. Specifically the black and slate one. In my eyes, this phone looked fantastic and had a great user experience. I liked it because it brought in LTE, a beautiful 4" display, and sported the gorgeous and snappy fast iOS 6, which continues with me today!
DAMNIT!! I can't add anymore options anyway. Besides the iPhone 5C is nothing more than the 5 with a fancy case lol.Also like that 5c isn't a poll option
Umm, what's with you and batteries lol? You've said more about batteries than you have good experience with phones. I don't rate any phone by battery life at all. I rate them on performance, fluidity, and most importantly experience. Battery life is last on my list.I can understand iPhone SE is picked as a favorite because of this reason...
Note that it only goes back to iPhone 4s since the iPhone 4 wasn't tested for talk time and web. Only for video which got 9 hrs and 40 minutes. I suspect the iPhone 4 is only as good as the 5s. The 2G gave me about 7 hrs web. The 3G and 3Gs were worse.
I don't pay attention too much on talk time which skews the results because I want SOT (screen on time) stats.
Combined web and video scores -
1. SE = 27h 12m (13h 36m)
2. 6s Plus = 25h 48m (12h 54m)
3. 6s = 23h 13m (11h 36.5m)
4. 5s = 20h 29m (10h 14.5m)
5. 6 Plus = 20h 20m (10h 10m)
6. 5 = 20h 8m (10h 4m)
7. 6 = 19h 53m (9h 56.5m)
8. 5c = 16h 46m (8h 23m)
9. 4s = 16h 20m (8h 10m)
Surprises me that the 5s scores better with the SOT than the 6/6+.
Nexus Family
1. 6P = 18h 34m (9h 17m)
2. 6 = 17h 55m (8h 57.5m)
3. 5X = 14h 57m (7h 28.5m)
4. 5 = 9h 46m (4h 53m)
5. 4 = 9h 29m (4h 44.5m)
6. Galaxy Nexus = 9h 3m (4h 31.5m)
My Current Phones
1. Moto E2 = 25h 46m (12h 53m)
Lumia 640 = 20h 06m (10h 3m)
Mi 3 = 17h 32m (8h 46m)
Not bad. Two of my $30 phones are on par with iPhone 5 and above with the Moto E losing to 6s Plus by 2 min. My Top 2 also top every Nexus phone ever made. That's cool. My worst scorer in Xiaomi is actually almost on par with a Nexus 6! I will be happy if the iPhone 7 can be on par with the 6s Plus. Anything I put it bold is over 24h (12h) which is ones I look for. Instead of standard 20h (10h), looking for that extra 2 hr SOT improvement.
Galaxy S7 edge (Exynos) still outlasted the iPhone SE though. Fast charging too. The rumors of it having over 17h video playback were true. You will be surprised how many Samsung phones makes the Top 40. Note 4, S7 edge (both), J7 (2015 & 2016), S6 & S7 Active, A9 (2016) all over 16h for video playback. That's 8 different Samsung models. Note 4 was the last great Samsung flagship with removable battery though...
1. S7 edge Exynos = 33h 40m (16h 50m)
2. Note 4 = 28h 6m (14h 3m)
3. S7 edge SD820 = 27h 3m (13h 31.5m)
Just too bad glass rears, smudge magnets, and using cases to cover them up aren't my cup of tea. Xperia Z series all over again...
Thanks, dude!Great post Savor! I read your whole post and it was better than reading the paper this Sunday morn.
I've owned a few more phones than you. I'll try to remember them and put up a similar post.
I'm not going to get an iPhone, quit emailing me about it. I'm not getting one because I already have a phone that's better: it's called the Nokia E70, it's the pinnacle of human achievement, and I love it more than my family.
Good point lol, it isn't shown in the vote!Seriously, no option for iPhone 5C ?
Same for me.The iPhone 5s is my favorite because of the form factor. For some reason I like the flat sides as opposed to the round side on the 6.
iPhone 5C = iPhone 5... And I can't add anymore options so....Seriously, no option for iPhone 5C ?
That plastic body doesn't float my boat.I would say iPhone 5c just by sheer comfortability. If they upgraded the 5c like they did the SE, I'd be all over that.
