Time for an upgrade. What do I get?

[Carterlil21]

My current phone is the iPhone 5s and it is causing me a lot of grief lately. It is definitely time for an upgrade, but I would like Your opinions. 

 

Yes, I am an iPhone user. I have been for the last 3 years. This phone has been good to me, but I have had enough issues that I am leaning towards android for this next phone. 

 

I use my phone for just about everything, like many people do, but there are not a lot of tasks that demand a good phone. 

I check emails, I use forums, I text and use social apps like Snapchat and Instagram but like I said, nothing demanding. Because of this, I don't need a super powerful phone. If it works I'm happy. 

 

A good camera would be nice and I have grown accustomed to the finger print to get into the phone and into banking apps like Paypal. 

 

Those don't matter too much thou either. I'm really quite flexible. 

 

Probably the most important part of the phone to me is it's ability to play music. I want a phone that can properly drive my earbuds and I like my loud volumes. I know that the iPhones all have pretty good audio, but like I said, leaning towards android. 

 

I have been heavily cobsidering the ZTE Axon pro or the newer ZTE Axon 7. The phone has a built in DAC as is supposedly a fantastic audio experiance when compared to other phones. It also meets my other low expectations. 

 

I am still on the femce about this ZTE phone and would be open to other suggestions. If anyone can think of a phone that would suit someone like myself, I would love to hear about it. 

Also, if you use either of these ZTE Axon phones, I would love to hear some pros and cons. 

 

Thanks everyone.

axon isn't very good - check out linus's watercooled phone test if you want some performance comparisons - i would recommend maybe some chinese brands with a custom operating system (very easy to install) so no spying happens - i would recommend a xiao mi mix - or a huawei phone u can get at rogers -

Questions:

1. How much are you willing to spend for a phone?
2. Are your services in use platform agnostic? 
3. What features do you value in a camera?

1. Price doesn't matter if what I get is worth it. 

2. I don't know what that is so Il go with no

3. Mainly clarity. I am not an aspiring photographer or anything. Low light capabilities would be nice

Google Pixel is good so is the iPhone 7/7+ for good smartphone cameras in low light. You may want to wait for the upcoming Galaxy S8 or the LG G6.
