Samsung s7 vs Nokia 8

Hello,
So i been a nexus 5 user till the phone worked and the screen broke.
worked well for 3-4 years.
Then i shifted to Redmi note 4 [cause i didn't have the budget to get a better phone]
Now im stuck between two phones since these two phones are easy to use in one hand i cant see of any other phones in the same price range
Nokia 8 is costing 29k[450$]
Samsung s7 25k [400$]
I have tried the oneplus 5t it seemed good but i didn't like the camera and its not easy to use in one hand for me. Yes pixel is a great choice but the card i am gonna be using to purchase these two phones isn't supporting the pixel 1 and pixel 2 is out of range.
So basically i am STUCK with these TWO phones only.
My main focus will be manual camera mode
Since both the phones have a decent screen and good battery im ok with that
not much of an audio person.
The problem is nokia 8 seems to be great and i like the camera too but the problem is since its HMD im not sure if the phone will be that durable, i mean the nokia 6 was a nightmare my friend had it and it would overheat and wouldn't function well.
i plan to use my phone for quite sometime 2years and as to nokia, samsung seems to be more reliable.
the problem with samsung is its an old processor [820] vs 835 kinda.
wont the samsung slowdown after a year or so?
Thus im stuck here.
i dont plan on flashing stock roms and stuff.
im just worried about nokias reliability.
Please advice.

Should I get S9 or Note 8?

Hey so I have this opportunity to get a new note 8 for approx 540€ or new S9 for 560€ and I wonder which one to get because both have pros and cons. My main consern is about note 8's computing power. It uses the older cpu and gpu so it looks way slower on the paper but I dont know how will it affect it in long term using. On the other hand I love big displays and I love watching youtube or netflix in my bed with S7 edge I currently own and also note 8 camera should be a bit better I suppose. I would like to see your opinions since I cannot decide. Thanks!

Suggest a simple Android phone

My Mom has had great use out of her old Lumia 430 but it is really is long in the tooth and I would rather she uses an Android device as I am far more familiar with that OS than Windows.
She just uses the phone for browsing, email, whatsapp and Facebook. So really don't need lots of RAM.
She likes the 4" screen size but she is well into her 80's and I am sure she would see a 5" screen much easier.
The phone needs to unlocked as she uses GSM in another country.
I am reluctant to get a phone that's too old as she will start running into battery issues.
I have looked at Swappa and see there are some unused Galaxy S5's for about $190.
What else should I be looking at that may cost less than $190??
Thanks.

In need of a new Android Tablet

As of now I have a Samsung Note Pro 12.2 Wifi model it works great and I have a custom OS on it but it's starting to feel it's age. So I am looking for a newer Android Tablet that has a 12 inch screen, 4g LTE, Micro SD, and can be rooted so I can add a custom firmware later on down the road. Besides the iPad Pro are there any 12 inch tablets on the market that fit my needs?
