Hi, I'm looking to move myself and wife to Android (from an iphone 5S & 7).

 

Handset budget ~$500-$750

 

Fairly standard usage.

 

Priorities: good camera (>= iphone7) and no buggy OS (esp. for wifey), longevity of updates/ decent warranty.

 

Can be different phones for each of us as long as charger is the same.

 

Fromm previous posts and reviews the following seem to come up regularly.

 

- Galaxy S8
- Nokia 7.1
- LG G7

 

Not set on any of these in particular, happy for it to others I have missed.

 

Appreciate your input!

Thanks all, appreciate the advice.

 

To wrap up where I got to in case it's useful for others -

 

Came very close to getting the Pixel 2 mainly due to such a good camera reviews.

 

But kept seeing the Galaxy S9 come up with what seemed to me to be a lot more hardware for only slightly more dollars. Both slightly above my original budget however.

 

Also the S8 ($690) seemed a great price for what you get.

 

In the end went with the S9 ($870). Yes, above my budget but couldn't help myself.

 

I understand the samsung sw is a potential downside. Hopefully a bit of set up customisation can sort out this out. 

 

Other thoughts - Played with a Poco F1 (~$500) and Oppo R15 (~$680) and both seem great value options to consider.
