Hello there

Well, as I started getting into android developing, I want to get a new phone in the near future. I got hired (surprisingly) and I'd like to get a new phone for real life testing, since I use AVD just for compiling and debugging the app. Also, I enjoy fiddling w\ tech, so anything new and unique is welcome. I currently own an LeEco x500 Le1S, I swapped it because I hated my Zenfone 2 (god, that Atom CPU and unstable custom roms f'ed me up).

 

So, I have 3 choices, but I'm open to any recommendations.

Nexus 6P- It's from google, works well with Android Studio, tons of custom roms and help out there. But it's specs are, meh, old.

S6 edge (because, why not) or S7- It has shitloads of sensors and features for testing, but it's a samsung phone. Again, this is on the expensive side, so I'll have to save for it

Oneplus 3- My favorite choice, 6GB of ram anyone ?

OnePlus 3 all the way :P Have it myself, never had better experience, Oxygen OS is a dream to use! Never had any problems with the phone, its gorgerous, in my opinion price/value and overall everything about it is perfect :) 

I see you are android developer, so check this post(maybe it will help):

 

Only one thing you might miss is that there is no sd card slot

Damn, my only promblem w/ the OP3 is the SD card slot. However, I'll probably get that. I used an OP2 before, oxygen os is so damn smooth and has shitloads of features, but I'm a flashing addict. Custom roms + kernels + xposed is the way 2 go imo, even for developing
