Back when I bought the wife the Mini Cooper she also got off the Razor to an iPhone 4. At that time the only "smart-phone" that was compatible with the Mini. Three years later the phone was acting up and upgraded to a iPhone 6. I have had various smart phones Android and Windows as I will brake the screen, drop it off an antennae tower, or dropped in the ocean. I weaned the wife off of iPhone when it was obvious she was getting throttled back on data and speed. The Windows phone was crap. I have had the best luck with the Galaxy phones. I am on my 3rd (actually 4th as I dropped my 6S off the tower). I have had a Galaxy 6S for about 6 years and will upgrade when I break this one or the upgrades no longer work. The wife's 6S went wonky OS wise at the beginning of the year and she now has a Galaxy 10.

Regardless of the brand or OS I will never go with a 5G phone. The 5G signal was re-allocated commercial satellite frequencies. I could shoot a 3 watt signal out to a satellite and cook a pack of hot dogs by throwing them across the beam 2 to 3 times. The average 5G phone transmits at 2 watts. The difference is a signal beam on satellite and a Omni direction signal of a phone. I guess you could weaponize a 5g phone by uploading a large file and drop it in an empty Pringles can. The aluminum lined can would make the signal directional.
