Personally I think the ZenPhone 9 series looked very sleek and cool - especially the in red colour choice.
My Kyocera 6035 - Palm Pilot and cell phone, God I loved that beast. Yes it was one of the first smart phones but also that flip keypad to let you cover the writing block and all the other touches were the bee’s knees.I really liked the palm pre. Fit well in the band and the slide out keyboard was awesome.
The OG Motorola Razr was the most aesthetically pleasing phone I ever remember. Shit was like TOS Star Trek’s communicator thingy.
![The Motorola rizr, perfect shape, the slide function felt really nice. I miss this phone sometimes]

Gotta be the OnePlus 6.
Samsung Galaxy S3. It was my first phone with a large touchscreen; everything before that was a flip phone, or one where half the phone slides away to reveal a full keyboard.
Motorola’s Moto X, with the back being made of bamboo.
Probably a red Blackberry Pearl Flip. One of the last phones I had that wasn’t a featureless black slate covered in rubber.
I think my current pixel 7 pro is probably the nicest looking smartphone I’ve owned. Prior to this it was the LG G3.
Back in the day I had some Motorola TracFone that looked a lot like a razr that I also thought looked pretty cool.
When my family switched from TracFone I got a Samsung Rogue which I also really liked, but I also remember wishing that my parents had waited a couple months so that I could have gotten my personal pick for the sexiest smartphone of all time instead- the original Motorola Droid. I eventually ended up getting the droid 2, which was, IMO, a fine successor to the droid, but just not as sexy.
Motorola g8 plus. The photos online do no justice, you need to hold the phone and see it. It had a shiny case, sort of metallic, sort of iridescent, it gave the impression of being made of thick glass over metal or something. The only phone I never wanted a case for, I only used transparent ones for it because nothing out there could look better than the phone itself.
If it weren’t for a forced upgrade to 5g network in my country I’d still be using it.
Edit: here, I’ve made a gif of it. It still doesn’t look as good. The camera doesn’t get the change of color to purple, and the gradient from dark to light gets lost. The reflection on the surface also throw the camera off. But all that said, it’s better than a still photo.
I really liked my Siemens SX1
My first smartphone was the LG Optimus G. It had a textured pattern on the back that made my other phones look plain by comparison.
HTC One M8, hands down no questions. Curved aluminium back, front facing stereo speakers. Fits the hand like a well tailored glove.
There may be fancier looking phones out there, but nothing I’ve ever seen looked cooler.
Came here to post this, I loved that phone. Hmm I wonder what roms exost for it now…
The HTC UI was also pretty cool, as far as I remember
Nokia Lumia series. It is a shame that they did not sell
Loved my Lumia 920 back in the day. A phenomenal phone featuring a fun user experience with the Live Tiles. It was a great phone if you didn’t like apps.
Microsoft gave up too soon. Android was also shit at the start, it only became good around 4.0
The duck phone. The quack when you got a call was annoying, though.
