I rarely click on this thread but I see you all were pooping on Samsung phones so I'll join in and share what I did about Samsung phones. I was in the same boat of loving them and was strictly a Samsung bro but was also fed up with the seemingly one year life span. Before that it was HTC and had the very same thought. I was under the impression all phones more or less lasted a year then started going downhill. Well maybe 5 months after I bought my fancy Samsung 6(? Yes I think it was a 6) I dropped it in water and phone dead. I didn't know what I wanted to get next so I shopped the market and decided if they all keep dying in a year I'm not gonna buy expensive ass flagship anymore. So around this time last year I bought one of these <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.techradar.com/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/honor-8-1326693/review">http://www.techradar.com/reviews/phones ... 693/review</a><!-- m -->
Honestly this is the best phone I've ever had. It has a few intricacies mainly with permissions, notifications and battery savings settings that you have to take the time to sit, understand and set how you want it but after you do that the phone is butter. Alot of people complain about Huawei skin emui (although i ran a system update that changed it recently can't remember what it's called) but I actually really like it. It's very straight forward. It's got plenty of storage and I can use an SD card which keeps it running smooth. The camera is great but obviously not the best like the new stuff but again no complaints, no glitching ever, not even now, finger print scanner is as fast as day 1, I have case on it so the glass is protected and the phone is overall strong I've dropped it 1million times. I actually didn't realize until the pixel came out but they look the same. Kinda funny. It's 1 year and it's an Android phone that hasn't given me any software issues and work perfectly the same way it did one day 1 and it has more features and connectivity than I can use. In January I'll probably look and see what else they've got coming out next year. Never thought the Chinese brand phone would be this great. Paid $300 for it last year. I'm satisfied enough to go for round 2 with a slightly more expensive one of theirs next year. Im probably never gonna go back to Samsung and if I want a flagship mainstream deal, definitely the pixel, but as of right now I see no reason to.
