Advice on a new phone

JackalJ

So I could use some advise on buying a new phone.

At this moment I still use my Iphone 5s, never saw the need to upgrade it, It worked great. Untill some time ago when the battery started to have problems. I barely use my phone and it is almost empty at the end of the day. Also the screen feels like it is letting loose of the rest of the body, whenever I press on the screen I can hear it moving.

So I want a new phone, now I just need some good advise on which one.

I understand that big phones are a thing now so I will get a bigger phone, in dimensions, then the 5s. But I prefer to keep the phone manageable in my hand.

 

Obviously I looked at the new Iphones and I guess they are good options, I know some people don't like them because lately they haven't innovated enough. I guess jumping from a 5s to a 8 would be improvement enough?

My eye also fell on the Razerphone and One plus 5T.
I have some positive and negative points for both of these phones but I just want to know what people suggest that actually keep up with the phone market.

Pixel 2 and LG V30 are also great options for the latest and greatest.

Well I looked at the Pixel 2, and just the camera (according to the topic below) would be it's only strong point. Besides that it is more expensive then the Razerphone, I would rather have better battery life then the best camera. So it's a no for the pixel 2. I haven't looked at the LG v30 yet, didn't even knew LG was still making phones.. if that is a good thing.
