Back to QWERTY
In November 2013, I bought a new smartphone for the last time so far. It was an LG G2. Since then, a few new devices have been released (yes, now it's Mobile World Congress again soon, the device flood has already experienced the first advance "leaks"), but even though I had constantly spent too much money on all kinds of smartphones over the years before, I soon had to realise that the quick change suddenly didn't make sense anymore. Yes, the LG G3 is a bit better, but somehow not really (who needs this display resolution, and why is the thing even bigger?). I don't touch Samsung for reasons (TouchWiz, hardware design), HTC has 4 megapixel cameras and the cases are too big compared to the display.
