-very typical title asking for new phone suggestion-

[Ruo94]

oh no my phone is dying :< 
Been looking around and the Zenfone 6 seems like my preferred choice for now. It is unfortunately not out yet in Canada.

any suggestions is appreciated!

-OS: Stock android or "almost" stock android. Been using the Huawei OS for 3.5 year and I still dont like it

-Budget: under 800 CAD

-Hardware: 6GB of ram, headphone jack pref. I dont really care that much about the camera, as long as it's not too outdated. 

 

Other phones that I've been looking:

LG V40: a bit hard to get in Canada, unsure about the OS, but i heard it's closer to stock

Nokia 9 Pureview: to much camera (lol). no headphone jack (i can deal with that), and also a bit hard to get in Canada.

Motorola One Vision: battery/power consumption seems underwhelming from reviews. 

 

But really, I'm open to any suggestions! 
Thanks in advance!

Why 6GBs of RAM?

You should probably just go for an S8, it's like $250 CAD and this seller offers condition choices, good or above are usually pretty flawless.

You can just install Nova Launcher to get your phone more like stock android.

I know it's technically "Older", but the hardware has not changed much since it launched: OnePlus 6. 

The 8GB, 128GB variant is my daily driver and will be until someone else makes another phone with headphone jack, fast fingerprint sensor, and near stock OS (Oxygen OS is amazing and I've loved it for a long time).

I use A360 and view ER quite a lot and its quite laggy on my Huawei P9+ (the phone is 3.5 YO doh). 
I've only looked at newer models so far, but older phones are definitively within my options. Thanks for hte suggestions!

I still remember the days I used to flex my OnePlus 1 on all my friend... if only it lasted longer T.T 
but ya, I didnt look at older models yet, as I said previously. This seems like a nice option too! thanks!

Also hot tip, Swappa.com is the bomb when it comes to buying used phones. Recently purchased a mint iPhone X (256GB) for my Fiance for $625, and have seen the OP6 on there for just over $300.

What features are you looking for? What about your current phone did you wish was better? What about it you cant afford to lose? Tell us what you want, and not get told what you want.

Stock android or almost stock android. This is the only feature that was annoying me on my P9 Plus. Even with Nova launcher, a lot of settings/options were not modifiable comparing to Oxygen OS. 
- I dont mind about the hardware much, as long as it can run View ER and A360 smoothly (which my P9 Plus struggled a bit).

- I'd rather not ditch the headphone jack either, but I can do without it. 

- Storage: 64gb at least. Expandable storage is minor for me. 

- Decent camera.
