Come and help me figure out what new phone should be - General Questions and Answers

Country: Serbia/Balkan
Carrier: Unlocked / mts
Price: Off, 300e limit
Size Preference: No more then 5,2'.
What will it be used for: Camera, light usage.
Preferred brands: Don't care as long they update.
Other: Camera better or in range with Huawei p9
Hello,
I will sell my P9 soon, and i will have around 300e to get a new phone. Now, P9 is 2016 flagship, and in camera range (most important for me, because i don't have other camera equipment) closest phones are S7 and 6S.. also price is around 250e ish. Problem is that both (all 3 to be exact) phones are near or damn near eol. That makes me think should i get one of them and then swtich up in maybe 6 months or pick some decent midrange from 2017/2018 and have future proof. As for iOS vs Android i don't really care. Never used iOS tho, that might be fun..and i ususaly set Android stock and minimal as possible. Only social media i use is Instagram and most of my battery went on either music, or browsing reddit. In camera deparment features are not so needed, also i don't do night photos or videos. So still photos and maybe OIS would be nice.

Which to buy? HTC 10 vs LG V20 vs LG G6

Hello, how are you? in first place i would like to explain that my english is not pretty good, so... having said this.
I'm gonna buy a smartphone, my priority is the sound with headphones and secondly the camera (both as photos and videos). I don't care at all about the speakers sound, i mean, nothing at all.
My favorites are:
HTC 10 (this is i like the most i think, because the botons and another reasons)
LG V20 (this would be my second, something that i don't like about this is that the 3,5mm jack is in the bottom part, i mean, it's not irritating, but it's a little annoying)
LG G6 (according to web info, the version that is worth is the Korean version, is it like that? and what do you think about the normal version?)
What do you think. The htc has good sound comparing to the others phones? if not, do you think is worth to buying it being that is the phone that i like the most? i'm quite convinced about buying the HTC, but i prefer to take out the doubt.
I hope you can help me, and from now, thanks

Lg g6 = htc 10
As I can see this is the cross-post of which I have seen at the CNET forums. However, HTC 10 is now upgradable to latest Android Oreo and is much better in terms of performance, camera and as well as in sound. Sometimes Specs don't show you the reality, In general, loafs of factors depends on the phone so that It can deliver top-notch service. If the battle is among these three phones, if you look at the specs then HTC 10 is an eye candy and the boss for what it offers. Lg may be the king for the stuff like Televisions, DSLR camera and so on, but HTC is mainly about cell phones and that's also the reason why it won't con you out of money.

Which brand is the best moddable?

Dear forum,
I am a long term iPhone-User who tends to switch to Android and is fascinated with the possibilities of modding. I also finished my first "project" and rooted/unlocked/customromed an old i9250 from a friend w/ 7.1.2 rom.
As an iPhone user, i am somewhat spoiled with years-long software-updates and i want to stay this way when i'm switching to android.
For now, i researched like 6 months which brand is the best moddable, but the results so far are a little bit depressing.
I can barely find ANY mod for ANY device that does not suffer from "bugs" that make it unusable like battery drain/no 4G/bad camera quality/wifi problems/old Android version/speed problems.
So far, i consider the best moddable devices are from xiaomi and - in a limited way - oneplus.
So I'm asking you, if money and specs ain't a thing and you focus in softwareupdates, which brand would you choose? Is there something i have overseen? Is my attitude wrong, is it normal in android-world to live with the above bugs?
Would appreciate a good advice/critics.

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.

Pixel 2 XL Vs Mate 10 Pro - Opinions/Discussion Needed

I have both, camera is slightly better on the Pixel but I came from the Mate and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The allure to the Pixel is flashable ROMs and long term 2-3 year support. There appears to be a growing movement on Open Kirin to getting more ROMs for the Mate and P series. Really I'd stick with the Mate if I knew there were/are more. I also enjoy the super charging, but I'm also enjoying the fluid stock Android of the Pixel. Huawei has recently announced Pixel like updates.I'll believe it when I see it but I'm optimistic. Quad HD and ambient display don't mean as much to me, I don't travel too much, I get VoLTE on both, and I would enjoy more gestures for the Pixel. I'm a man divided and would welcome some feedback. Im looking to have this phone for around 2 years if not longer.
