Phone to upgrade?

[Aliairstinger]

So I'm looking into getting a new phone and I found a lot of decent choices. can you guys recommend some from this list? I'm upgrading from an ASUS Zenfone Max Plus M1 and I plan to put a Windows Phone Launcher. I also use the headphone jack. I live in the US and use T-Mobile.

I just got the Oneplus notification saying my 7 pro has been delivered. Can't wait to get home and test it out! (Upgraded from my Oneplus 3T which was still going strong but... getting dated.)

Whats best for you depends on what you want and like. Not what we want and like. So of you could tell us in more detail how you plan to use the device, what need it to have, want it to have, and what you don't want it to have, then I can start narrowing down the selection for you.

 

Keep in mind what phone you are currently using. Why you are replacing it. What about it that you like and dislike.

 

If you get a new phone that is going to easily end up with the same set of problems you have now, then you have made a poor purchasing decision.

I generally want a flagship phone that will last me a couple of years. I mostly would use the phone for listening to music (via 3.5 mm jack), watching videos and browsing on social media and maybe play games. Also, a phone that doesn't crash a lot and actually receives phone calls and text (my current phone has this problem A LOT!) I generally want an all screen phone with a pop up camera for starting conversations but also I don't use my selfie camera a lot so for me, it's wasted space. Also, decent battery life, up to all day, as well as no notch unless it's a very small teardrop notch.

It sounds like the OP 7 Pro would be perfect for you (minus the headphone jack). Would a dongle be good enough? The 7 pro comes with one

It does? from all of the reviews I've seen, it doesn't. But yes, I would be fine with a dongle.

Sorry just checked and it doesnt, must be another phone I'm thinking of that does. But its still the best phone to buy, a dongle is pretty cheap to buy
