A couple months ago, as my Samsung Galaxy S7 really started to show its age via slowdowns and battery degradation, I started surveying the current smartphone landscape to see what was available. My wife and I both use Galaxy S7 phones, and we each decided it was time to upgrade. I have very specific tastes when it comes to my little all-screen personal computer; I am in favor of Android over Apple’s iPhone, prefer Google’s baseline/stock version, and don’t really like huge phones. The last leg of my smartphone stool is the need for a great camera; I’ve heard it said elsewhere that these are really smartcameras rather than smartphones, since that’s often more important to users. Prior to the Galaxy S7, I had a Blu Studio Energy (great size, huge battery, terrible camera), a Nexus 5 (probably my favorite phone of all time), and some version of an iPhone (3S? 4? I can’t remember).
I dream of a stock Android device with an incredible low light camera, huge battery (4,000-5,000 mAh), and a handset size no bigger than the Galaxy S7. Unfortunately, such a phone doesn’t exist! The Galaxy S7 has been a good phone, but Samsung’s Android skin is still inferior and the battery life has always been somewhat poor. But it’s certainly a great size, with a beautiful screen and top notch camera. Fortunately, a new contender recently joined the discussion – the Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2XL.
