I’ve always been “the tech guy” amongst my friends and family. Even before I started working at Android Authority, I was the go-to for tech questions. Now that I work here, it’s only gotten more common. With that in mind, one of the questions I get asked all the time is what the “perfect phone” would be for someone.

Whenever I hear it, I always give a sigh and then start my onslaught of questions. “Which phone do you have now? Do you like it? Is it too big? Too small? How much are you using the camera? What’s your budget? Do you appreciate software updates? Do you need a headphone jack?” Eventually, the person I’m talking to raises their hand to stop my blabbering and says, “I don’t know, I just want a fast phone with a great camera that’s not crazy expensive.”
