Pixel 2 128GB.
- Great camera and hw.
- Always running the last Android versions since it is using the vanilla version of the SO. Google assures that will provide constant updates for at least 4 years.

Just avoid the 2XL since the display is not good as the one used in the model 2 (the colors and not so vivid and there is some distortion if you look from different angles)

If you think the version 2 is too bulky, keep in mind that Google will release the Pixel 3 this year and according to the photos it will have smaller edges, more sensors, and the camera will get even better.

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 was using an iPhone 4 for the last 4 years. Before that an iPhone 3. I have always purchased an used phone 1 or 2 years old off of CL. This time I figured Id spurge and get a top phone. So far the S9+ has been great. Way more customizable then my iPhone but my iPhones were much easier to use and better thought out. I am not a Samsung fanboy either but it is a sweet phone.

Id say get the S9+ when it goes on sale. I purchased mine from Samsung Eaton Centre when they offered a $150 discount off the S9+ when you donated a phone. I had a olllllld Motorola Razr 2006 that I dug up and traded that in for the discount.
Once I tried out the S9+ and looked at the screen I was sold. I tried out all the top phones before selecting the S9+. Pixel 2 XL, iPhone X, OnePlus, iPhone 8.....

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)

My phone is getting outdated... I want more than 32GB and NO iphones! I buy my phones upright too. Can anyone convince me on which phone to buy? It also need to have a bigger screen than the Nexus 6P.
Sister got this one at the persistence of my brother and she LOVES IT.

Nokia really got this right with almost everything. You'll get important updates from Android since it's "AndroidOne", no bloatware, nice big screen AAAAAAND expandable memory.
Price exactly where all these so called "flagships" should be priced. I gotta admit, it's very nice.

I've been using a Moto X4, Android One Edition for about 8 months now. I'm really impressed with the build, the camera, the battery life...everything really. Especially for the price.

I had a quick look at the specs and this phone is impressive for a mid-range phone at it's price point. It looks like they are saving the $$$ on the less capable CPU and more notably the display. After having an OLED display I couldn't go back to an IPS panel. Samsung displays are the best of the best right now - they also make the panel in the iPhone X. If you're not picky about that and are OK with not having a bleeding edge processor and less RAM, this phone looks like a bargain. I couldn't find anything about it being waterproof though.

The Samsun galaxy note 9 is looking really good ATM. Presently I am using an iPhone X, however this release is looking to be the best phone of the year. I don’t think the new upcoming iPhones will beat this phone.
