I need to buy a phone. I need it double up for work. All I use it for is email, calls, text, Surfing the net, IG, so I don’t want to spend a bunch. My choices are:

Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom
Samsung A5
Samsung A8,
Samsung S8

these are what Costco sells for unlocked phones in my price range. What should I go with?

I've had my S8 for over a year and I'm happy with it although it has gotten laggy lately...I have about 12K pics on my memory card so I'm not sure if that's what's tripping up the CPU...

Flip, you know if you come in here you are going to get ripped for not picking the V.
IMO
The V will be more solid and obviously faster...I beat the shit out of 2 Scats on the highway the other day like they were standing still...without the SC, I'm sure it would have been close. But in this case I had the BBC.
Scat will have more features and likely be nicer and more modern inside. I'm a little leery of Dodge reliability but that's based on my own experiences.

Happy Birthday, Sweet Prince. The Royal Penis is clean.

My personal opinion, based on my wife's shitty Samsung something-or-other, is to quote Matt: "get fucked".

I'd go phoneless before buying a Samsung. But YMMV.

Samsung names their phones after Audi cars?


I think HTC should name their phones after BMWs. Or Acuras.

HTC RLX Type S.

Current issue is when I charge, it falsely detects moisture in usb port

Camera is a bit lacking though. Good, but not great. I need to be able to take HQ dick pics at a moment’s notice.

Well that was a curve ball I wasn’t expecting. I’d probably go for the entry level 64Gb. Or maybe the 128Gb? Future proof myself... forever

and lol at the 6Gb or 8Gb of ram. Some of the phones I was looking at were pushing 3Gb.

Nevermind. It turns out to be more expensive than an s8, even in the entry level form

the fucking charger needs to be bought separately. Along with anything else

Then, get an A8. Less features.

If not, get an A7.

Or go get an S5 or A5 and we can be like twins but not twins because you are 52453 feet taller and white and stuff. And can't do maff.

You really want a phone that big...? Seriously, not sure why these companies continue to try to push out tablet-phones. How is something that big convenient?

OnePlus 6 is ~$550 USD
That should be cheaper than a S8+

If it's roughly the same price
The OnePlus is top in benchmarks and no bloat

That alone is worth it
The new Note is nice, but $$

Based on your budget and your Android ecosystem ties, I would either go OnePlus 6 OR Pixel 2 after the Pixel 3 is announced.

Personally, I would go Pixel 2

I found a small discount and was able to knock $56 off the price. It’s $750 CDN for the OnePlus. For some reason, the S8+ is cheaper than the S8 right now. I can get an S8+ for $749 CDN,or an S8 for $799.

Fuck, I really didn’t want to spend that much. I was thinking 400 US, tops. I won’t come within 10% of those phones capabilities.

hold off a little longer until the end of October. Launches mean discounts on older phones

pixel 2 is more than all other phones mentioned so far. At least here it is. For now. But the OnePlus 7 should be coming out soon too and I could save on a 6 if I waited.

You know what, maybe I will do that. I can get my hands on a shitty Samsung phone for the time being.

I'll admit I used to go to the sports bar in boys town in Chicago because the rabid fans were afraid of it.
