I have the Samsung Galaxy J3. It is supposedly a downgraded S6, with a camera just as good as a S6. One flaw is it doesn't have a notification light on the phone's front. Other than that I am OK with it especially if it lasts me to the end of my 2-year contract.
What Android smart phone are you using

Nexus 6p been great over a year now...looking at one plus or the upcoming iphone...the LG G6 also on my list.
I use the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2. I got hooked to the Xiaomi phones a few years ago after trying it for fun. I've been quite impressed with the battery life, being used to charge my phone twice a day with my old Galaxy S6, charging my Xiaomi 1 time every 2-3 days was a refreshing experience.
They are chinese phones though and even though they're the best phones I've tried, they still have their downsides and a limited lifespan (18-24 months seems to be their usual life)

Still rocking my aging S7 Edge. Can't say I have a reason to upgrade yet either. Display is best I've seen so far, camera is stunning. I've rooted it and installed a cleaner ROM so it's still pretty snappy. I just wish mine had as good of a speaker as the wife's iPhone 7+ but that phone is a ton bulkier than mine for the same size display so it's probably a wash.
I've been curious about this brand...they have been getting very good reviews on TechRadar. I still have a ZenPhone (Asus) 2 with a two SIM package for when I am overseas. I think I am long past getting sucked into the "latest and greatest" at $1200. My NVIDIA Shield Tablet does the horsepower stuff when I need it. Thanks to all for the good ideas on the next phone though!
Exactly. I haven't bought a phone EVER that didn't have these. I like that it has a giant screen because I use it at craft sales as a credit card device for signatures.
However, I am becoming enamoured of the new One+ 6. No replaceable battery, but the internal one is pretty hefty.
Removable µSD was a requirement for me but now that phones are coming with 128GB+ I'm not so sure. I now set my phone up as a ftp server for transferring files so that takes away the need for removable storage but I'd like to know if you can partition the internal storage to keep a portion of it safe for when I factory reset or nuke the OS and install a different ROM?
Waterproof is something I'll never be able to do without again. So handy being able to wash my phone in the kitchen sink and use the sprayer to clean out the ports.

What did you upgrade from? I have a S7 edge and not sure if I want to get the S9+ now or wait for the 10. I'm not a samsung fanboy and TBH I think this would be the first time I owned a second phone from the same manufacturer but last I looked there really isn't too much out there that is competitive.
I have a Motorola Z that is about 1.5 years old. It's a slick looking phone, nice screen size and battery life is still great but overall not impressed with it. The volume buttons don't work anymore, it keeps losing it's bluetooth connectivity and it does some weird things when you inadvertently touch the screen wrong. It's hit or miss on sound notifications for texts received. I won't be buying a Motorola product again.
Looking at the new Blackberry Key or the LG7.
