I came from a 7 Plus also. But I've done this rodeo before and knew the plus phones just last forever on battery and will crush Android phones every time. I get a kick out of reading the battery comparison tests where the iPhone wins by a small margin but it's really not small. That said the 8 plus was out of the question. The big bezels and comparatively awful screen eliminated that option. And the X I'm afraid will be back ordered for a long while and I'm not crazy about that notch, and have a gut feeling the battery will not perform like the pluses. So I keep a wireless charger nearby and am quite satisfied with battery life. Keep in mind you'll be using a new phone alot more after you get it than months down the road. The latest Samsungs are great, beautiful devices IMHO.
