You might not think about it that much when buying a smartphone—I don't, that's for sure—but the kind of glass your smartphone has can make all the difference between a sigh of relief and an instant bad day. Corning, the company behind the Gorilla Glass that is essentially an Android staple, specializes in glass that's harder to scratch and crack. Of course, glass is glass, and glass will always break with enough force, but the tougher it gets, the better.

I like Realme a lot. It is one of the best brands to depend on if you want a smartphone that has killer specs at whatever price point it exists at. Despite being relatively young, as far as smartphone industry standards go, the company has done a very good job pushing itself into the big leagues. The value it provides made that a lot easier. The Realme GT 7 is its current smartphone of the moment.

I hate to be so blunt, but the Honor 200 series released at this time last year had some of the ugliest modern phones that I've ever seen. The oval camera module didn't do any favors. Of course, that has nothing to do with the actual function of the device, and I'm sure that for those who bought it, the device was able to do the job as expected. Thankfully, that design is going to be put to rest. The Honor Magic 400 series is coming to follow up the Magic 300 family.

Spotify is my music streaming app of choice. It was the first one I tried out, and getting into it, it just worked. The recommendations were great, the UI did everything I needed it to, and the subscription price wasn't prohibitively high. Of course, that doesn't mean Spotify has done everything right—there have been some odd UI changes here and there. What keeps me on board, though, is the fact that the development never stops and the app always brings more good than bad.
