Android here.
My first phone is Nokia, 3660 series lol
Now is Galaxy Mega 2

Android Phone:
HTC Droid Incredible 2(Verizon) 2011~2012

Windows Phone:
Nokia Lumia 822(Verizon) 2012~2014
Microsoft Lumia 735(Verizon) 2015~2016

I have almost no idea how to use Iphones, Ipad, and Ipod Touch.
As a person who has some microsd cards, for me it is rather a waste to use an Iphone.

I already have two Android tablets after all, again it is rather a waste have almost exactly the same kinds of OS in three devices.

Oh right, feature phones:
Samsung Trance(Verizon)
Lg Accolade(Verizon)
Both Trance and Accolade were decent phones.

In terms of phone calling signals both Smartphones and Dumbphones are not that different, they all have good and bad.
I found speakers sound louder on Dumbphones though, that is good for me.
I'll stop here, too much to talk about, hope at least this helps.

Dumbphone is still favored by many people, which works outside. The battery is more durable and with better signal in rural area. However, for daily usage, smartphone is more convenient. We tend to change our phone frequently and need to transfer data from one to another. Luckily, there are a few good apps that do this very well.

I know a few people that use TracFones and the like which are at most semi-smart phones, if not just flip-phones. Most of these are people who just want a phone, and sometimes complain when there is even a camera on it.

I had one until it died on August, then switched to a smartphone. I only use my phone to make calls, so a dumbphone was perfectly fine and I would still use my old dumby if didn't died.

Same ... I know similar people - folks who are primarily interested in the phone aspect of things and very little else.

Old phones had more comprehensive set of functions as phone.
Modern phones heavily rely on external applications.

My first phone was...I do not actually remember...
Then there was some model of Pantech...
Then Sony Ericsson k550i
And now Lumia 630

The smartphone is eventually going to die — this is Mark
Zuckerberg's crazy vision for what comes next:

"For science-fiction lovers, the world Facebook is starting to build is very cool and insanely ambitious.
Instead of smartphones, tablets, TVs, or anything else with a screen, all our computing is projected
straight into our eyes as we type with our brains."

"The "print apocalypse" that shook the American magazine industry a few years ago is
happening in Japan too. It's not just Shonen Jump -- every manga magazine has had a
decline in readership -- most of them a major decline. Quite a few of the lesser
magazines have ceased publication.

The fact of the matter is, thanks largely to smartphones, people are a whole lot less in
need of printed reading material than they used to be. Where you once were able to
hop on a train in Japan and see a good number of commuters reading those giant
phone book-sized weekly manga magazines aimed at every conceivable demographic,
nowadays it's more likely that the entire train is looking at their cell phone, a tablet, or
some other device."

So, are smartphones, tablets, etc. the future of Manga?

Well, Mark seems to be crazy about smartphone. We are going to see some more and even more advance smartphone in the future.
