Galaxy S8 Plus - disappointing, where should I go?

[Android Central Question]

Hello, I have a Galaxy S8+ and I am kind of disappointed:

- Running slow at some points, the software is clunky?

- Battery life, suddently the battery is lasting way less having to plug it in at least one/twice a day?

I have done all the steps, reset phone, tune developer mode settings (which helped a bit), reduce screen resolution, brightness, deactivate alway-on screen....

At the end, they offer a lot of features that you cannot use because it makes the phone run slower or drain battery to fast? I have never used the highest resolution option because then the battery lasts 4 hours. It is true that I use a lot of apps and I am constantly connected to like 4 email accounts, etc... but, this was a premium phone with a very high price tag on it.

For the price, I believe these are things that should not happen.
Now, I am tall, so I have big hands, I would like to have a big screen.

I dont want to spend $1K on a phone (dont want iPhone, dont one another Galaxy Phone that will have to replace in a year for the same reasons). I am considering the oneplus 6t, I used to have a 3t I think and it worked great, at least softwarewise was way better than Samsung Google tuned OS. Also I was considering Huawei becuase of their battery life?

Any recommendations?

Thanks!
JR

Welcome to Android Central! Regarding the battery, how is the cell signal? Poor cell signal is notorious for draining battery.
