Need a New Phone
| Not sure if there are any phones with decent dedicated keyboard nowadays. Except this requirement there are sony phones. They're mostly water/dust/shockproof and generally well designed so they dont die after fall. Also they has power saving mode that also cuts off most of google's spyware (but denies internet access).
| I suggest the Samsung Phones for durability, i've had a Galaxy S2 and I've been a bit too carefree with it and it's still going strong after 5 years
| Got two motorola phones, made them fall many times, and the structure prevented any serious damage.
Don't buy samsung by the way, overpriced phone for a comparatively bad hardware.
| I had two Asus zenfones(2 and 3max) they never broke from physical damage
| One Plus is a coll company! Check em out!
| Rare nokia
| BlackBerry AFAIK is the only company having phones with hardware keyboard. The Key2 is their most recent foray to that idea — but the phone is neither dust nor water resistant. Durability is pretty decent though.
If you're that clumsy, I'd suggest going for metal-chassis (which is a trend that's getting rarer as phones go for glass case).
| Anything is honestly better than pure glass. Plastic (something older Samsungs have) is way more durable than glass, which cracks and require expensive replacement. So, if you can: avoid glass (but I doubt this is possible in 2019)
| Galaxy s5 is cheap, and reliable albeit old. If you're eyeballing an s6, then I guess you don't mind the age. If you're trying to up your tech skills, then this is a good start.
| Just move on to digital keyboard, you'll get used to it pretty quickly.
Add screen protector + a case that protects almost all side of your phone and you are good to go.
| >Hey, g/u/rls
>I know you guys
Could it be that we actually... found HIM?!
| Build one from a raspberry pi
| Guy here. AMA
| Fairphone or Librem
| Looking for a physical keyboard is real tough, since the most recent is like the Blackberry Key 2 or something.
But there's going to be a newcomer, the "Fxtec Pro 1." (idk if its out yet)
Its a QWERTY-board slider smartphone with the latest Android 9.0 and decent specs (SD 835, but still), NFC, microSD/3.55mm jack support. Should fit all of what you may want.
> tdlr : go check out Fxtec Pro 1 bc it has android, durability, and physical keyboard.
| Thanks for the suggestions so far everyone. I'm still thinking about what to get, but it's nice to have some ideas now. :)
| Blackberry Priv or get one of those Android flip phones from Korea. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Folder and it's pretty good

| Hey g/u/rls. Just found this. Thoughts? Looks cool, but I haven't heard anything about the phone before seeing an ad. So on today's episode of Danger/u/, we'll be playing Scam or Not a Scam! Winners will receive a luxury couch!

Looks pretty darn average. Depending on where you live, you may be able to get a better deal out the likes of Pocophone/OnePlus. Don't get swayed by the fancy marketing, phones are (mostly) the same except for their software and the quality of the parts.
| Take a look at this:

Unfortunately its only available in germany ;-P
| Samsung S9/10e. Both of these are excellent phones.

| Hey g/u/rls. So I need a new phone, but I don't know shit about phones. I know you guys seem to know a lot about tech stuff so I'm just going to ask here for advice.
I'd prefer an android phone that's water proof and durable because I'm clumsy and 100% will drop it many times. I also have fat fingers, so if it has a keyboard or something to work with that it'd be nice. Right now I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S6 active and it works well but it's getting old.
Any recommendations?
