Greetings.
I need help choosing a new phone and this seems a good place to find knowledgeable folks on everything Android. I have been a happy Samsung customer for 5 years and my Note 4 is has been my favourite phone so far, however my GPS is failing and i must part with it. I was eagerly awaiting the Note 7's arrival until i learned that there would only be an Edge version, a screen that i despise thoroughly for browsing the web, games and videos, which is 90% of what i do with my phone. I must agree however that it looks great when your are looking at the phone with the screen off, an activity i do not partake in.
What i must have:
5.7+ Screen
450ppi+
3.5 jack.
4gb ram+
sd card slot.
820 Snapdragon or equivalent.
Released before this years end, ideally September.
What i would love but can live without:
Front facing speakers
Removable battery
Cost is not an issue, however i hate to pay a premium for features i find useless, which is another reason i am parting with Samsung. Iris scanning and waterproofing are not features that i will agree to pay for as i do not keep state secrets on my phone, nor do i shower with any of my electronics.
Phones that i am currently looking at that seem to fit my needs:
LG V20
LG G4 Pro
Huawei Note8
Huawei Honor V8
Lenovo Phab2 Pro
Questions:
-How do these compare in terms of UI? I have little experience in anything outside of touchwiz.
-How do they compare in terms of OS updates? Time and frequency.
I thank you all for your assistance.
