Looking for a phone to replace my nexus 5x... what would you folk recommend? I've read through some of the other threads but given pricing changes fairly often and I'm quite keen on a waterproof or resistant phone which doesn't seem like a major feature in previous discussion I'm keen for some input. I've thought about what I want and have decided on following in roughly this order
* Good camera - My phone camera is pretty much the only camera I use
* Waterproof\resistant - I use phone while running, take kids to pools often, go to beach, etc and always worry about my phone getting rained on, splashed and so forth - would be nice not to have to worry about this
* Decent amount of RAM and performance - I find my 5x freezes and stutters occasionally and while I'm not sure why I suspect I may be better off with a phone with 3 or 4GB of RAM since it often happens when using that bloated software called facebook or facebook messenger ;-)
* Available from a decent retailer - I'm impatient so preferably a brick and mortar store I can walk into and buy one.
* decent life - don't really want a phone near the end of it's life in terms of new patches, android versions, etc...
* don't want to spend more than $1000 and less would be nice :)
With these criteria in mind I'm thinking maybe:
* LG G6 - though I don't see many reputable retailers in NZ selling this at a good price?
* HTC U11 - if it comes up on a decent sale
* Xperia XZ - currently on sale at JB Hifi for $750, seems like a decent price?
* Xperia XZ Premium - looks really nice but availability in NZ seems very limited?
Any other suggestions?
