What Brand and Type of Cell Phone Do You Have Now?

Ron has an iPhone XR, and I have an iPhone 11. I upgrade my phone every couple years, but stay a couple generations behind the current model. I save hundreds of dollars on the purchase that way. I buy refurbished directly from the Apple site or local store so it’s under full warranty, though I’ve never had a problem in all the years I’ve been buying all my Apple products that way.
 
I've got a small LG that we take with us when we leave the house.....hardly have any need for it. It's an old 3G phone, and it may not be supported much longer. If/When 3G becomes obsolete, I'll upgrade, but for now, it suffices.
 
I have a refurbished Pixel2 that I bought off Amazon (maybe three years ago now?), I was resisting modern phone usage up until then and only got it because I was going on a vacation to Europe and knew I would need some newfangled features.

I'm amazed how useful a smartphone is, every time I get a facetime video call from my daughter I feel like I'm living in the Jetson's time. And it is so convenient to talk to it ('set a timer', 'set an alarm', 'what foods are good with mustard', 'how to crockpot hamburger', 'happy meowing cat', etc etc).

But, I am still not using the driving directions that talk to a person, coworkers and daughter have shown me multiple times but I haven't had a real need yet so I keep forgetting what to do. Also, it would use data and I've got a super cheap $11 a month plan that only has enough data for contacting the grocery stores from the parking lot pickup spots (seems like) (tho I guess I could maybe connect to the store wifi instead).
