Which phone should I buy?

Hi

So i'm almost new to Android.
I have decided to go from Apple to Android.
I can choose between Huawei P10, Huawei Mate 9 Pro, and Samsung Galaxy S7 edge.
But I have a hard time to make up my mind.

what pros and cons is there?

:)
 
If those are your requirements then any of them will do. Go and handle them and see which you like best (there is a huge size difference between the Mate 9 and P10, and I can't believe that wouldn't settle the issue between those two one way or another).

I have an iPhone 6s Plus now, and thats why i'm not sure of the P10.
But the general performance is almost the same, or?
I'm going to the store next week to take a look at them :)

General performance of either should not be a problem. The Mate 9 has a newer and slightly more powerful processor than the S7E, but unless you think that competing to have the highest benchmark scores is a good use of time (in which case you need to buy a new phone every 6 months) the difference isn't going to matter.

If you want a comparison of the two then you could look at Anandtech's Mate 9 review, since that uses the S7 Edge for many of its comparisons. I'd note though that there are 2 versions of Samsung flagships, depending on what country you are in, and as a US site Anandtech mainly use the US version. The difference between the two is probably less important than the difference between benchmarks and real-world usage anyway, which is why my conclusion is "either will do what you want".
 
I have an S7 Edge, I enjoy it, it performs well and has an exceptional camera. There are occasional quirks, just like any other phone, but overall it has been a positive experience. The only big downside is the screen is prohibitively expensive to replace and if you don't have a case you can occasionally open apps because the screen wraps around the edges.

I really like the S7 edge too :rolleyes::thinking:

I have a electronics insurance, so if I break my phone (or drops it in water, which my son did.. TWICE:oops:) I "only" pay about 130$ to get it fixed.
Both times I just got a "new" phone cause it couldn't be fixed.

Okay thanks, I'll look into those two then.
Maybe I can find some proper Danish rewieves and comparisons of them, or maybe an english, those should be the same as here :thinking:
 
LGs advertising is getting to me. I can get the G6 + Google Chrome + $200usd credit if I trade in my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 from Verizon I hope...

I only use the s-pen for pointing and clicking.

Isn't Verizon the most costly provider in the US for a single Unlimited Data user?
 
My guess is that the other major brands will be staying with the conventional aspect ratios for at least the next few months. It's conceivable the next Pixel will be long+thin (no information, just that it's most likely 6 months away), we know that the next HTC and Moto won't be, and Sony don't change their designs very often. Smaller brands might react faster, but that's my guess.
 
I need in hand experience. These renders and photos just aren't doing it for me. Heck in some videos the G6 looks really small.

I'll wait until LG Unlocked opens their store and then decide. I never want to be shackled to one carrier again.

I had one in my hand last week. It's smaller than my N6, but the screen is almost the same size. It's a big phone with a medium feel. That's one of the things that sold me. I should have mine tomorrow
