My HTC recently broke and I'm looking to buy a new phone. I am a strong believer in android but would be willing to try out the new iPhone. My budget is under $800 and my must haves are:

1. Good Camera

2. Big Screen (But not uncomfortably big)

3.Fast

4. Good Storage

5. Personalize ability

I was looking at the LG g6 the iPhone 7 plus and the Galaxy S8 once it is released.

The Samsung Galaxy S6s and higher have pretty good screen sizes. I have strong faith in Samsung's phones, so I wouldn't hesitate to say Galaxy S8. That being said, get a Galaxy S8 if it fills all your criteria.

Blackberry KeyOne!! Haha, but really, I'd probably go for the S8, but the G6 is supposed to be pretty solid as well.

They both meet your requirements. S8 will probably be a bit faster due to the newer SoC.

I wouldn't get the Apple personally, due to it's lack of customization, horrible screen to body ratio, meh battery life, and I don't like Apple as a company. However it probably is better in terms of after purchase support, camera, and overall snappiness.

Out of the phones listed I would recommend the g6, mainly due to software and the placement of the fingerprint reader. I am not a fan of the changes Samsung makes to stock android though. I would recommend that you go to a store to try both of those out if you can since performance wise they are very similar.

This phone is a steal at $3200, and is quite fitting to your forum logo.

 

Jokes aside, I think you have to get a Galaxy S8 if you want an Android phone atm. It is the incomparable best(except the Bixby button).
