As title says. I tend to switch phones a lot and am looking for opinions on my next phone. I was all Android for a long time - last few were Note 4, 5. LG V20, G6, Moto X Pure, Nexus 5x, 6p, etc..... I switched to Apple when most of my friends and family were on Apple and they all used iMessage of course and it was easier to send a ton of photos of kids. I also got tired of dealing with nagging lag issues that popped up after several months of heavy use. Had a iPhone 7, moved to 8 Plus, moved to XS and then returned XS. XS honestly did not impress! I had all the common bugs with charging and dropping LTE/Wifi and it just bothered me that a $1000 phone has those bugs! Nothing wrong with my 8+ but I dislike being so locked down to the point I cant even arrange my stupid icons the way I want!
My usage and importance -
Work!! - lots of emails. Fair amount of texts and some voice calls.
Photos - I take a lot since I have 3 little boys and we take a lot of weekend trips.
Battery - I love the battery on the 8+. Been among the best of any phone owned. I killed the XS daily very easily.
Lag - hate it!
Bluetooth - I stream music a lot in my car and via wireless headphones. I do own wired headphones but hate dongles.
Dont care about gaming much (I basically only play SWGOH lately).
Been looking at pretty much everything - Note 9, Mate 10 Pro, Oneplus 6 and 6T, Pixel 2 XL and 3, Mi Mix 2, V40, etc...
I dont have a budget really but if I can save some cash I will obviously. Right now I can get the Note 9, Mate 10 Pro, 1+ 6, Pixel 2 XL all for about the same money with current deals and rebates. Right about $500-650 range for those.
Thoughts? Right now my front runner is actually the Mate 10 Pro. It was the P20 Pro but lack of real US support worries me a bit should anything happen. Pixel 3 XL was pretty "meh" from the reveal event and that notch is flipping huge. I dont hate notches but come on! Second runner up was the Oneplus 6/6T. 6T is supposed to be launched on T Mobile so that is a plus but I sort of like the specs on the older 6 better. Maybe wait to see what the Mate 20 Pro looks like?
