Help me choose. Samsung Galaxy S10e (Exynos) vs. Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro - General Topics

Prices: 400€/330€ respectively.
The things I mostly care about in order: Display/Battery/Camera.
I want to keep the phone for at least 3 years. I don't care about games that much. I use it for media consumption/creation and for professional use (web dev).
The reason I haven't already pulled the trigger is because I don't like the 9T's size. It's too big for my liking and the S10e is just a tad bigger than my previous phone.
However, I've read some really bad stuff about the Exynos variant battery. Plus the camera differences are noticeable.
The extras like camera OIS, expandable storage, IP certifications are all nice but if the battery sucks then it's not worth it, especially at a higher price.
Anyone with either of the phones chiming in would be appreciated.

Honestly it will come down to the user "you".
Sure there are plenty of awesome new high spec phones out there. But each one will define the user, say.. ex. The Razr? It has 22-24 hours of talk time? That's impressive, most high end phone recently released can't do this.
You'll just have to look through the specs and find the one you think will meet your needs. I'm on the Droid incredible, my eye is in the nexus. Its nearly perfect for me as an upgrade, features have nice specs "except the cam/corder" not sure what Samsung was thinking
But in every other department it fits my needs.

£150 best phone to buy?

Hi all
I'm in a little bit of pickle and I don't no what to buy really.
Currently I have a nexus 4 as my main and regular phone, no problems its probs the best phone I've ever had.
I've just sold my Samsung s3 mini which I used during the day at work, it was nice and easy to handle in a rush.
I only have a fixed budget of £150 nothing over and has to have a 4 - 4.2inch screen nothing bigger, due coz when I am at work, I need to be able to handle it easily in one hand which nexus 4 is not really practical in doing.
I'm after a decent phone in spec wise and hopefully great community support, i love my nexus 4 coz of the customs roms available for it.
any suggestions or ideas will be much appreciated
Thank You

Should I upgrade?

I've been rocking a Samsung Galaxy S3 since it came out but my biggest question for you guys out there is, should I upgrade to a Nexus 5? (My only gripes are the non-insertable microSD card, but I'm fine with it). Why or why not?
Of course if you are willing to. There's nothing to loose.
Android 4.4 KitKat,
Advanced Camera,
Body Design,
Specifications and also it's a Google Product, These are the reasons to buy Google Nexus 5 .
Oh.. The Price is also reasonable. :good:

Nexus 6 or 6 Plus?

Hopefully this falls into the guidelines for the Q&A. I can't decide which device I should buy, the Nexus 6, or the iPhone 6 Plus. Where I work, we have a 64GB 6 Plus for my carrier. So availability isn't an issue for me. Both devices have pros and cons. The biggest pro about the iPhone is that it can backup and restore my data with ease. The Nexus would allow me to do more (in a slightly less organized manner). What would you guys choose?

There is a sticky thread here for this kind of question: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846277
and i'm almost sure everyone here will suggest you to get the nexus 6 because you are in an android forum, not much apple fans here
Thanks for the link. Yes there are Android fans on here, myself included, but I sample from both systems so I don't develop a dependence on only one. Plus I sell phones for a living. So I have to give unbiased explanations.

There's a Nexus 6 Plus already?
Oh, you're talking about the iPOS 6 Plus.
You're unlikely to find many unbiased opinions here.

After Nexus brand decision

So.... My 6P finally died, along with the Nexus family. Now I face the decision I hoped I could postpone for at least one more year:
So what now?
I've checked a few options and now I am among three options:
OnePlus 5
Xiaomi Mi6
Huawei P10
Now this is my criteria for choosing my next phone:
Update cycle (most important) I always loved having 2 years of support with state of the art updates
Price tag, 450-500 would be ideal
AMOLED screen is strongly preferred. Hardware quality, nice camera and Snapdragon processor are preferred
So, keeping this in mind, would you recommending getting the P10 (which has a Krillin processor), the Mi6 (which has MIUI, and thus an uncertain update cycle) or wait for the 1+5 (at least one month holding with my old Nexus One, with unguaranteed stock and specs, even though most have been leaked and seem pretty solid). Keep in mind I don't include the Pixel family because of the excessive price tag and the release date (the second gen won't be released until October or so).
I come to the masters for help. Please give me the reasons for your choice and I'll really consider your comments. Thank you so much, people!

Thank you! I've read quite a lot, but I was expecting a direct comparison with these criteria in mind (also power users opinions, of course), this is why I decided to create a new thread instead of hijacking one of the currently available.

It is probably best to ask your question in the thread linked, we created the sticky try and stop the boards getting clogged up with comparison threads
Thanks for understanding
