What does your phone really say about you?
Should you really be canceled just for using Android?
Years ago, you can tell a lot about a person based on the shoes they’re wearing. Nowadays, people judge you on the smartphone you’re using.
But can your smartphone really tell you who you are as a person? Apparently, it does according to a Cosmopolitan article about Mike Johnson from The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise being bad news for owning and using an Android phone. In the United States, iPhone users — particularly women — believe it’s a dealbreaker for Johnson in becoming the next Bachelor.
There’s this “rule” between iPhone users that “green bubbles don’t get replies,” discriminating Android users for basically using Android. Samsung launched a response to defend its user but some people believe it’s the inferiority complex talking.
As an Android user myself, I couldn’t help but jump into the fray. I feel like it’s pathetic that people judge someone else based on the smartphones they use. To finally put this issue to rest, I scanned our comments section and studied how people bash other people for their smartphone preference. I listed down how people perceive you based on the brand of your smartphone, and what you really are.
Samsung
How people see you: People who don’t want to use iPhones even if they can afford it, simply because they believe Samsung is superior.
What you really are: A decent human being worthy of love and respect.
Huawei/Honor
How people see you: People who worship China and Chinese products and love spying and being spied on.
What you really are: A decent human being worthy of love and respect.
Apple
How people see you: Social-climbing flocking dumdums who think they are elite and far superior to everyone else in the universe.
What you really are: A decent human being worthy of love and respect, except if you judge people based on their financial capabilities and smartphone preference.
OnePlus
How people see you: People who want to think they’re part of some exclusive community, just like iPhone users.
What you really are: A decent human being worthy of love and respect.
Xiaomi
How people see you: Poor people who can only afford cheap and budget smartphones.
What you really are: A decent human being worthy of love and respect.
OPPO
How people see you: Narcissists in love with glass skin and faking their beauty with AI beauty mode.
What you really are: A decent human being worthy of love and respect.
Vivo
How people see you: People who don’t know how to spend their money wisely by buying unreasonably priced smartphones.
What you really are: A decent human being worthy of love and respect.
Realme
How people see you: Mobile photography enthusiasts who think a camera is all you need.
What you really are: A decent human being worthy of love and respect.
Redmi/POCO
How people see you: People who think they’re cool for being able to buy a powerful smartphone on a budget.
What you really are: A decent human being worthy of love and respect.
ASUS
How people see you: Someone who takes low-quality photos and doesn’t care because the battery is more important than cameras.
What you really are: A decent human being worthy of love and respect.
Nokia
How people see you: Nostalgic people who still believe that their loyalty can help bring the brand back to its old glory.
What you really are: A decent human being worthy of love and respect.
Sony
How people see you: Loyalists in love with technology yet refuse to accept change in all forms.
What you really are: A decent human being worthy of love and respect.
LG
How people see you: Outdated audiophiles sticking around for the headphone jack when you can already buy dongles.
What you really are: A decent human being worthy of love and respect.
Other smartphone brands
How people see you: Who are you again?
What you really are: A decent human being worthy of love and respect.
By now, I think you’ve seen the pattern. No matter what smartphone you’re using, we are all worthy of love and respect. We deserve someone who isn’t shallow enough that they would base our worth through a smartphone, a pair of shoes, or lipstick.
These people who judge you — no matter how hot they are — might be good for one night only, but to be brutally honest: I wouldn’t bother screwing someone with that kind of character. After all, there are a lot of beautiful and gorgeous people in the world who would love you for who you are. Don’t lower your standards.

ITZY’s YUNA is Infinix’s first ever global brand ambassador
Infinix is in with YUNA in the scene
Infinix is entering a new era — and the brand is bringing one of K-Pop’s most sought-after stars along the ride.
A first for Infinix
In line with the launch of the latest NOTE 60 series, Infinix has also named YUNA of ITZY as its very first Global Brand Ambassador. The company calls this a bold step forward for both innovation and style.
For the record, this is the first time Infinix has tapped a global ambassador — and the choice makes sense. YUNA is known for her confidence, vibrant energy, and unapologetic self-expression. These qualities align closely with Infinix’s “Joy Tech, Beyond Limits” philosophy.
In a statement, YUNA shared her excitement about the partnership. She said she’s looking forward to connecting with fans in a new way and creating meaningful stories together with the brand.
For Infinix, this collaboration is more than just a celebrity endorsement. It signals a shift in how the company wants to position itself globally — not just as a smartphone maker, but as a lifestyle tech brand for expressive, tech-savvy youth.
The more, the merrier
The partnership goes along the debut of the NOTE 60 Series, further fueling Infinix’s move toward a more premium smartphone experience.
Like YUNA, the NOTE 60 line also brings notable names in the table:
- Powered by Snapdragon from Qualcomm
- Design collaboration with Pininfarina
- Audio tuned with JBL
It’s a clear attempt that Infinix wanted to elevate both performance and design by blending in flagship-level specs, more refined aesthetics, and immersive sound altogether.
Infinix says this launch also marks its expansion into more premium international markets.
With YUNA as the face of the brand, the company hopes to strengthen its appeal among younger users who want both powerful hardware and a device that matches their personality.
Rather than focusing purely on specs, Infinix is leaning into storytelling — highlighting how technology can spark creativity, joy, and individuality.
With the NOTE 60 Series and YUNA front and center, Infinix appears ready to redefine its brand identity on a global scale.

ICYMI, BLACKPINK (or K-Pop’s biggest female quartet composed of Jennie, Lisa, Rosé, and Jisoo) started their highly-anticipated ‘DEADLINE’ World Tour just last year.
With Razer’s signature dark black styling paired with BLACKPINK’s bold and iconic pink scheme, this collaboration felt like the perfect match.

This popped right in time as BLACKPINK will hold the Hong Kong stop of their ‘DEADLINE’ tour for three straight days — from January 24 (Saturday) until January 26, 2026 (Monday).
Moreover, these might just be the perfect complement to the quatro’s upcoming ‘DEADLINE’ EP by February 27, 2026.
Might as well, an advanced 10th year anniversary gift this August 2026.
