New Phone

[rf9661]

Hello!

I'm looking into getting a new phone. I currently have an iPhone 7 Plus but am hating the new software. I want to switch to Android. I have a budget of + - $800 and need for it to work on Sprint. Please let me know what phones you guys find!

OnePlus 5 or Samsung Galaxy S8? I'm not so good at judging phones.

The only obvious choice there is, as above. S8 or Oneplus5. Can't go wrong with either.

I'm pretty hooked on both. I'm leaning for the Galaxy S8+ since the OnePlus 5 doesn't work with Sprint.

I'm in love with both but only the Galaxy works for me since I use Sprint.

Yeah,all OnePlus devices do not have support for Sprint as mentioned here at a Reddit Post

Correct, and even if you have two of the three LTE bands, even if you put a Sprint SIM Card in a OnePlus device, it'll basically fail to negotiate with the network, as would a Verizon SIM even if it's activated for a data only plan.

The only way you'll be able to get service with a OnePlus device is with a GSM carrier

Then ur left with the Galaxy S8,upto u if u wanna get it,but why not use the iPhone? My bro recently got a iPhone 7 Rose Gold 32 GB (we have a sim,which is GSM I believe) but he hasn't tried the phone yet,gotta see the results

I've already installed iOS 11 (Beta) and I'm hating it. I've only ever used iOS and really just want to change to Android.

Well I went from android to iOS ... after few years I went back to android and I was able to stay on it just for few months. Back on iOS and I guess I will stay on it for a very long time.

 

may I ask what's wrong with iOS 11?

I hate almost everything about it! The GUI is horrible to me and the things that have been changed/added only make it harder for me to use my phone.

as someone from the UK i cannot help you with the network issue but i can help you ditch the rotten apple and get yourself a droid

 

now if you are coming from a iphone 7 then your best choice would be a OnePlus 5 or galaxy s8, both are better spec-ed than the iphone and will be cheaper. another phone to consider is the Xperia ZX Premium, the xperia being the only phone out of the 4 that has a 4K display

 

you can see the specs for all 4 phones in the links below

What do you do lots of on your phone? What is it you want your phone to do exceptionally well?

Anything about the 7 Plus that you liked and wish to continue having? What do you want to see improved from the 7 Plus?

Anything about the design and function, even in the slightest way, would you like to change and in what way?

Any quirk that has to do with phone usage in general, that you would like to see resolved?

 

Every need and want you can come up with, will help you find your ideal Android phone. It doesn't have to cost nearly as much as $800

If course there may not be a perfect one for you, but that won't stop anyone from trying. Tell us what you want.

theres also this you can use, yes it might show 30+ phones matching your requirements but at least there will be at least one in there you like
