Ever wonder WHY you picked out your phone? I'm gonna tell you why.

iPhone- You tend to view yourself as the more modern/cultural type. You like to follow trends and show of your trendiness with your phone. While you try not to look pretentious, your phone shows it off. Chances are you are not very good with technology and are a more of the go with the flow type person. You probably call yourself "modern" in your head a lot.

If you're a techy and you own one of these, 90% of the time you're an Apple fan.

Nexus- You wanted to be apart of the smartphone club, but you couldn't admit it so you bought the cheapest phone they had at the T-Mobile store so you could say, "hey, I have a phone, I guess...". You're kind of a techy person and you do not want your phone to define who you are. But, you are a bit vain because you wanted a phone to look trendy in the first place.

HTC - You wanted to follow the crowd, but, you wanted something different, so you went with this phone. Truth is you really wanted an iPhone, but instead you went for this for the sake of trying not to look trendy and more techy.

Droid- You're compatible with the Nexus person. You're trying to look modern and trendy, but subtly do so. You honestly could careless if you dropped your phone in hot water. All you do is play Temple Run on it and bring it to business meetings so you'll look more trendy.

Blackberry - You like getting straight down to business, although you are vain because you wanted this phone for the sake of looking more "business" like and classic. You strive for the more classic business look, and you wanted this phone just for the sake of looking like it in front of your coworkers and bosses. You wanted a phone for the sake of saying "I have a phone".

Samsung - You wanted to look trendy, so you got a trendy phone. Although you did not want to follow on the iPhone bandwagon like most people do. You're kind of a techy person and you try to be more down to earth, although your vainness blocks the way sometimes.

I have an iphone because I keep getting hand me downs and can use it on a prepaid plan . It's my one an only Apple device.

My son chases tech, he thinks iphones are "beginner smartphones" and is all about Android, Nexus, HTC, etc.

You are (or "you're") incorrect.

Your is the possessive of you. You own something, it's yours.

So you're saying in your title (that is yours because you own it) when you write it the way you did is "What you are smartphone says about you".

Look it up.
