Hi guys,
I currently have a Blackberry Q5 and I’m looking to get a new phone soon. I have never had an Android or Apple phone before, but have had an Android tablet.
I have three options I was thinking of for a new phone: BlackBerry Priv, LG G5, and Samsung Galaxy S7 (maybe Edge?).
The Blackberry Priv is dirt cheap right now, has pretty decent specs, and has a physical keyboard. The drawbacks are that I hear the battery is finicky and the phone is kind of heavy. Also, I worry that the phone won't be updated as much.
The LG G5 seems like a good overall phone that I could get without breaking the bank. My friend has it and it seems great.
The Samsung S7 (or edge) is the most expensive option I’m looking at. I’ve never had a top-of-the-line phone before, and my friend thinks I should just go for this to see what it’s like. The price, however, is significant. The BB Priv is considerably less than half the price.
I almost thought of getting a ZTE Axon 7, but I’ve heard mixed things about it and I ruled it out. The OnePlus 3 looks nice, but I want a higher-res screen.
What do you guys think? Perhaps the sensible middle road would be the LG G5. My friend has one and it seems very fast. The display also seemed to look a bit nicer than my friend's Priv's display. However, the Priv is super-cheap right now and has a keyboard and I kind of have a bias towards Blackberry, even though supporting them in the past has not always been easy! And if I want a Samsung, might it make more sense to wait until the S8 comes out so the S7 price drops?
Best regards!
