Default Does make/model/age of phone affect signal reception ??

Just curious as to how much of a difference model/make/age of mobile makes to signal reception.
I have an 8 year old Nokia on Vodafone, wife has a 3 year old Samsung on Vodafone but I seem to get (barring full srength) a much better reception / signal strength wherever we are together.

Does it follow the newer the phone the better the signal reception? - has the technology in the phones improved for this in the last few years that they are very similar or are there "better" phones for picking up Vodafone signal than others - i.e. Nokia's are generally better than LG's etc. ??

I need to get a new phone and the area where we live the Vodafone signal isn't brilliant so need a phone that wont drop the signal as much.

Any advice / thoughts appreciated.
