Which phone to buy in 2017?

Tape

So, last year i killed my Galaxy S7 by accident, i spent 6 years with an iPhone 4, tried the iPhone 6 and the 5 and I'm sure I'm not coming back to apple, I've spent 2 years with android phones, and the experience has been much better, but since my Galaxy S7 broke I'm stuck with my sisters faulty iPhone 5 which is about to die. I'm planning on buying a new phone soon and need advice because i cant decide. So my budget is $600 (US) since I've been wasting too much money later and don't want to damage a $700+ phone, I'm looking for something that will last, i was thinking about the google pixel or OnePlus 3t, but seeing that google confirmed that a "Pixel 2" is on the works I'm not sure and OnePlus could announce the 4 any minute now. I can wait until July to buy a new phone, so do you have any recommendations for phones that already came out OR that already were announced? (Android only please i don't want an iPhone 7 or any upcoming iPhone.)

I appreciate your help

HTC 10 or the new one. I have had two htc phones. The first one died cause i forgot i had it on me and went swimming. The one i have right now (htc 10) is really cool. One thing to keep in mind is that it has quick charge, and if ur doing stuff while charging, it will heat up fast and super hot

 

CPU - i7-4790k

GPU - MSI 980 Ti 

Mobo - MSI Z97 Gaming 5

Memory - 32 GB DDR3

Storage - 3.4 TB

Yeah, to me the best option is to wait. I was thinking about the Huawei P10 as the camera looks amazing and it looks fast. But it's 50 dollars over my budget and i HATE the skin huawei puts on their phones.

I was also considering the G6, it's display looks pretty cool, one think that i dislike about the G6 is the camera, not bad but pretty mediocre compared to the oneplus 3t if my sources are correct. But overall the phone seems like a good option.

Note that the camera is a very important factor for me as I love taking pictures and can't afford a professional camera.

That holds the G6 in a higher place, I'm gonna wait for many of these phones to be released and when i can see reviews I can be more confident about my buy.

I really like my ZTE Axon 7. While the low light photo performance leaves something to be desired, it's still a great camera and performs wonderfully in daylight. I've accidentally saved myself a lot of time and effort as I took a photo of my bike and was able to zoom in on the one arm crank and see how long it was (I needed to buy a replacement). Taking photos of landscapes is fantastic with this phone. 

 

It's blown people away with the front facing speakers, and I even managed to convert some people at the local AT&T store. Low volume is a weak point, as it is so much louder on the speakers, so audio compression is quite obvious. That's not the phone's problem, but rather an issue with the compression. It sounds fine with ear buds. 

 

The OS is fine. I just run the Evie launcher. It's similar to the CM13 launcher, which is what I was used to.

i think modular designs are a fail, they potentially increase pollution. Someone tried doing it with laptops and Apple even did it in the past back when they were not making a profit but putting modular server grade hardware in laptops.

What I like about fairphone is that it is user serviceable and you can choose the OS

Used Note 4-The last good Note phone.  I would say that the Note 7(which I had) was the best but it also doubled as a fire starter, soo...back to my Note 4.
