Recommend me a dope phone.

First of all when the fukk did these things get so fukkin expensive? Damn near impossible to get a decent phone for under $700 now. And ive never been a fan of the financing shyt with phone. I always buy my shyt outright so i dont have to sign any contracts or be making payments.

So i need to get a new phone. Anyway, ive been rocking a OnePlus 2 the last 4 years and im starting to see some issues with the BlueTooth and also some issue with the screen. Overall the phone works fine but The Bluetooth malfunctions is annoying since i often take work calls from my car.

Anyway so far im looking at

  • Essential PH1 - I like it and all but i wanna get y hands on it before i order. Main reason i like it is very close to stock Android. That's a MAJOR + for me
  • IPhone 7 or 8 - The Iphone 7 's screen is too small and the 7PLUS is a huge phone and i dont like the size. I need something a little more than 5" but not quite 6" screen. ALso Not sure why im ust not into IOS anymore when it comes to phones. Love my iPad but hat my iPhone. My job gave me an Iphone after i switched to ANdroid years ago and i dread using the shyt so much that i forward all my calls to it to my Android phone. Id like to play with the 8, tho
  • Google Pixel 2 - I really really like this one a lot. Stock Android and zero bloatware. MAJOR MAJOR + for me. Downside is screen size it only 5" and ive been used to a 5.5" screen with my OnePlus. The Pixel 2 XL has a 6" screen and looking at the specs it's as big as the Iphone 7 PLUS which as i already said i freakin hate the fact that it's so huge. Everyone i know says i have huge hands but yet i hate these huge phones that are over 6.2" in lenght because i only use one hand and reaching the top of these things is a pain
  • OnePlus 5 - I could do another onePlus but i feel they have sold thier soul to the devil and trying to do too much with that Oxygen OS thing. SHould have stuck to stock Android
  • Samsung Galaxy Phones - NO. NO. NO. Too much bloatware and i hate the skin Samsung puts on Android to customize the user experience.

If you’re looking for functionality, great design and relative privacy, you can’t go wrong with an iPhone.
I don't know...

I'm just not an iPhone guy anymore. I wanna play with the new one and see but IOS just isn't for me when it comes to phones. I have one right now for work (iPhone 7) and hate the shyt

I think i've narrowed it down to the LG V30 or the Pixel 2 XL

I like the look ad feel of the V30 + the LG skin atop of Android is very minimal.
At the same time ive played with the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL and this shyt, while it doesnt look as good as the V30, is straight up fiya performance wise!
