iPhone user here. Should I go with a cheap phone or the best?

[AC Question]

I have been a long time fan of the iPhone, (I'm talking iPhone 3G) but recently I have been fed up with Apple. My question is should I buy a cheap phone like the Moto Z for $200? or shell out $600 for something like the Pixel? I've played with my wife's Samsung Note 3 before and wasn't too impressed. And TouchWiz seemed like something out of a cartoon? FYI was kind of fascinated with the new BlackBerry, but the company has gone down hill?
I would apprecate any feed back?

P.S you can save your iPhone jokes and why Android is better comment for another thread.

The LG G6 is, by all accounts (I've owned several LG flagships, but not the G6), a great phone and available for a fantastic price. Personally, I wouldn't go with a mid-range phone for your first Android device. Where's the fun in that?

I’m blown away by the feedback. This is a good community you got here. I think I like the idea of pure google? It’s like what they invisioned Android to be. But why not the blackberry keyone? It’s runing Android and has a fisical keyboard? I don’t understand, why is this not flying off the shelf’s? What am I not hip too.

On behalf of the Ambassador team, thank you for the compliment.

As for the BB keyone it may be that most of the users who would have preferred a physical keyboard have grown accustomed to the simulated on screen version. I have heard that a lot of people like it, but I don't know too much about it myself.

Have you narrowed down your choices yet?

out of your choices I would strongly suggest the pixel as the phone you go with, but the new BlackBerry might possibly be the best one ever built. runs very smooth, the battery life lasts forever , and the new capacitive physical keyboard is unreal! BlackBerry is turning it around for the better, but the pixel is still the better phone imo
