What is best/reliable/affordable Samsung Smartphone alternative?
============================================================

This is my first post. My minutes usage is low. I have Tmobile pay as you go plan that cause lot of restriction. I am looking an alternative. I am leaning towards Ring Plus and looking for unlocked smartphone. I am seeing your insight.

I searched on internet on following subject. I find the following list.

Samsung's Galaxy Note 5
Samsung's Curved Galaxy S6 Edge+
LG V10, LG G5
Motorola's Moto X Pure Edition
Google's Nexus 6P Comes From Huawei
Ascend Mate 2 Is Another Huawei Option
LG G3 Delivers High-End Features
HTC One M8
Google Nexus 5, Nexus 5X

I prefer a model with Android that has Micro SD card to expand storage and replaceable batteries.

Did anyone in this forum use above models?

If you have a better alternative not listed above, feel free to share.

I did find ZTE zmax pro as good option, but it was tied to METRO PCS.

Where can I get the unlocked smartphone with best deal?

Thanks for sharing

You're asking an impossible task... I hope you realize that. Every single phone ever made has their own set of problems so the best thing to do is do your own research on each of them and choose the phone you'd like to use. Sorry, but that's the reality, and probably why 37 people read this and didn't leave a reply. Good luck!
