Decent speakers, I want to be able to hear videos and stuff without cupping my hands.

Nexus 5x vs. Motorola G4 plus

I'm looking for a new Android phone for an older person. Phone will be used mainly for calls, messages and taking pictures, so a good camera is important preference here. Phone should be in low- or mid price range.
So far, I have found Nexus 5x and Motorola G4 Plus to be a good deal. Which one would you recommend more, which camera is better? Do you have any other recommendation?
I will buy in on Amazon UK.
Hi, please post your question in the dedicated "what should I buy" thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1620179

New phone. Money no object. Help me select.

New work phone that will be bought from the carrier. Price no consideration. The carrier is selling these phones unlocked and types modem shouldn't be and issue. The company just gives me a phone every 2 years and pays carrier fees. No maintenance, extras, out of warranty fixes or accessories added. Will own this phone in a year of working for them. I tend to update and maintain my phones and I dabble in Android development.
Most important critera:
Good reception and call quality
Sturdyness
Easy and cheap to fix
Good mod community and long time mod support (preferably with NFC intact)
Middling importance:
Battery.
Size (not 5.5+)
Camera
Decently dust/waterproof
Not important:
Screen quality (above 720p)
Storage (above 16GB)
CPU/GPU
Weight
Wifi reception
MicroSD
Wireless charging
Fingerprint/retina scan
Speakers
Front camera
Available choices (leaving out some older generation devices):
HTC 10
Huawei P9 Titanium
Samsung Galaxy A5 A510
Samsung Galaxy S7
Samsung Galaxy Xcover 3 G389
Sony Xperia M5
Sony Xperia X
Sony Xperia X Performance
Sony Xperia XA
Sony Xperia XZ
ZTE Axon 7
Leaning towards the Xperia XZ. Samsung seems to be no good for mod support in recent generations. Don't know about HTC, ZTE and Huawei.

Don't go for Samsung their ram management is not to good
And google out the other models and compare them
OP3T is sadly not an option. Work is buying what I ask for from the list above. The main criteria is ease of repair and mod support for the models in the list.

Stuck between s7edge and one plus 3t

Hi fellas
i need some suggestions from users of s7 edge and one plus 3t. Now the year has passed and s7 edge is around 600 bucks for pearl black 128gb in my town and one plus 3t 64gb is 460 bucks.
Which one should i get for next 2 years to keep?
My prime requirement is the phone's battery and not much slowdown in performance after two years.
Camera for clear scanning of some documents and other office related tasks plus some occasional family photography and selfies etc.
Is it worth spending a little extra for s7 edge.
thanx in advance.
S7 edge is a good phone, buy the 3t is also. It has a higher benchmark. I was going to buy a 3t or P10 plus, but I chosen the P10 plus after using both devices. The 3t is newer than the S7 running stock Android with some nice tricks. The S7 is a solid phone but personally I think the 3t is the better choice, it definitely out performs the S7 regarding speed in my opinion. Antutu benchmark is 160.000
