If they are all trustworthy and of similar quality (not broken) i recommend the 6s plus EDIT: because the build quality is more refined than v1 google pixel

Try using the PSU Tier List!

6s Plus for raw performance.

 

Pixel XL if you're a hardcore Android guy.

 

Oneplus X is way worse than the other two.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

idk your phone carrier but with this budget you could get a LG V20 (or a LG V10 for even less, from personal experience its the best phone for its price if you can get it for around $100 or < $150 )

 

https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dmobile&field-keywords=lg+v20

 

 

if you really had to pick from this list, i would go with the pixel; however none of them have expandable storage (aka mirco sd)

 

i also here "huwai" has solid budget phones as well so if you want better options i would recommend looking into LG and huwai as they have the best phones for under $300 and still have great amounts of storage and expandable storage

I am not an anadroid fanboy but I am a hardcore Apple hater so I will say this, don’t get iPhone.

6S plus is the iPhone I would go for apart from the 8. It still holds up very well even today and probably will keep going for the next two years. After those two years though... maybe you'll have issues especially once Apple pulls the plug for iOS updates. And 200 dollars for one that is functional, it's a pretty good deal I would say.

I'd rather buy a Xiaomi from gearbest. Maybe the Mi 5X?

Just if you don't mind flashing and so on for great hardware.

Wait for next year Samsung. Their next flagship SoC(Exynos, not snapdragon) is said to very close to Apple A11 in both single and multi thread performance.

Le eco, the now almost bankrupt Chinese company you never heard of, is selling a 64gb, snapdragon 821 phone for less than $200. Software is crap but you can replace the rom with a custom one.

 

they do operate in the US and North America I think so no need to order from importer like gearbest
