Buying 2018 Flagship Phone?

Mackerel Ice Cream

I'm looking for a phone with great specs that will last for three years? It's seems like the best bang for your buck is older 2018 flagship phones. I'm thinking OnePlus 6T or Razer Phone 2 would fit that bill, but I am also considering Note 9 and maybe Pixel 3. Used or new phones should be fine and hopefully around $350 plus or minus some. What do you guys thinks? Am I missing anything?

 

Razer Phone 2:

-SD845, Ram: 8GB, Space: 64/128, Screen: 5.7” 1440x2650, IP67, 4,000mAh, microsd, wireless charging, GSM/CDMA, nano-sim

 

Note 9:

-SD845, Ram: 6/8GB, Space: 128/512GB, Screen: 6.4” 1440x2960, 4,000mAh, microsd, wireless charging, no hotspot, GSM/CDMA, Nano-SIM

 

OnePlus 6T:

-SD845, Ram: 6/8GB, Space: 125/256, Screen: 6.41” 1080x2340, 3,700mAH, No-MicroSD, GSM/CDMA, nano-sim,

 

Pixel 3:

-SD 845, Ram: 4GB, Space: 64GB/128GB, IP68, Screen: 5.5”/6.3, 2,915mAh/3,430 Pixel 3 XL, GSM/CDMA

I would get the OP6T just because how clean OxygenOS is and device has the hardware to make it last longer. Note9 is definitely not a "power user" phone. Just like how most people dont even use iphones for anything but talking. Its the user that is "power user".

I would go for the Note 9 or the OnePlus.

But as far as i know the OnePlus 6t has a high refresh rate screen. This will make the whole experience much better

Actually that was copied from some website when I was researching 2018 flagship phones. Right now, the price and performance of OP6T looks to be the best so far. Note 9 is very close. I'm not familiar with the oxygenos, but I'll look into it. How is hotspotting on this phone? That's something I use everyday.

I missed that about fps when researching these phones. Thank you.

only thing that matters in a phone imo is display and battery.

 

You aint ever gonna fill up 8gb ram on a phone loooool

buy what ever feels best in your hand, what ever software you like the most, and whatever specifically suits your needs.

3 years is nothing btw when theres people still cruising with iphone 6's.

The last four years has been horrible for me in the way of phones. I went through two huawei and my current driver, honor 8 is a complete crap shoot. The phone keeps restarting at random times and sometimes gets stuck in a boot loop. Last year, the battery couldn't hold a charge for more than twenty minutes and now, that brand new battery is failing on me again. The bluetooth and GPS is failing. The problems go on and on. So, this time around, I'm hoping to buy a better purchase.
