cooperb21

As the topic says, i prefer android software for most part since im a heavy user of Google's service's and there just not up to par on ios especially chrome. Problem is i really like apple's phone and tablet's design and feel what would be my best medium ground between the two? Samsung?

Samsung note 5 would be good, maybe even the s6.. But you can look out for other options like the Google nexus and moto...

I would just research Android devices and find one that has most of the features you like.  Android phones have gotten a lot better in areas Apple has been known for; camera, for example, especially in the last year.  Just browse around.  I have the Moto X Pure edition and would recommend looking into that.

Get a premium Android Phone. Pretty much anything off this list:

http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/120309-best-smartphones-2016-the-best-phones-available-to-buy-today

Would likely be good.

 

In particular:

HTC One A9

HTC One M9+

Sony Xperia Z5

BlackBerry Priv

Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+

Samsung Galaxy S6 edge

 

Also the Samsung Galaxy S6 Active would be decent choice, since it has very rugged build quality and a bigger battery.

For Sale: Meraki Bundle

 

iPhone Xr 128 GB Product Red - HP Spectre x360 13" (i5 - 8 GB RAM - 256 GB SSD) - HP ZBook 15v G5 15" (i7-8850H - 16 GB RAM - 512 GB SSD - NVIDIA Quadro P600)

I looked into it already, but sadly im Canadian so i can't get the phone for a good price. Its not AV in Canada and price of importing is way to high with the dollar.

Some of those devices you'll be able to get with Canadian Carriers - you'll just have to cross reference the list of ones you like, vs what's available. I highly recommend demoing in-store any device you narrow down to, before buying.
