Re: How many mobiles do you have?
Surfermom - Well, the X is a completely new design and the extra screen space is welcome: 5.8” v. 4.7. It has a better, more vivid screen and represents the future Apple is taking. The cameras are also better.I’m not convinced it’s worth £300 more than the 8, but I had to have both. Best to try each of them out in a store before deciding. They share the A11 Bionic chip so both are blazingly fast. If I could only have one it would probably be the 10 for the screen which is marginally better (and bigger).
The 8 will age quicker because of the design, but is lighter and more pocketable. You will need a case for either as they have glass back and front. Good for wireless charging though. I bought a pad that charges both. Much better than using cables.

Re: How many mobiles do you have?
I only use one at a time currently a Samsung Galaxy S4 but I have a Galaxy S3, Samsung Duos and a Sony Xperia in a drawer that I keep for emergencies.I also use one of the spare phones for a Telstra SIM to provide WiFi when travelling because there are places where Telstra is the only signal available (when there is a signal at all).
The fact of the matter is the current phone is struggling to keep a charge for the whole day so it must be getting near time to upgrade (I have not had much luck with replacement batteries).
I will probably get a Galaxy S5 because it is far more economical to buy a superseded phone than get the latest model and there are few new features that make any practical difference to the phone.
Then, of course, I will have four emergency phones in the drawer!

The spare phone is used purely as a hotspot to provide WiFi on those occasions - I can then connect my computer and my normal non Telstra phone and use Whatsapp or Messenger for calls. The rest of the year the spare phone is kept in a drawer.
I shall probably buy a Galaxy S6 when the Galaxy S10 comes out
