Phones have largely plateaued. Within the next few years there will be very little to differentiate them anymore. Just get whatever you're most comfortable with, and don't bother spending a lot of money on it. It's a tool; think about what you actually use it for and you'll know what you need.

For some of us this is not an easy decision.

Samsung galaxies have treated me phenomenally over the years. Far better than any phone I've ever owned.

Every year though, I hope they take out the uninstallabe Facebook utilities on the phone and they never do, so I'm put in a position where I need to put my morals first, and move to another phone.

I'm not sure I want to go back to the iPhone ecosystem, but I feel like it's the only other option.

Camera is really the only thing I care about in a phone, so I'm stuck now either buying a phone I don't want or settling for a sub-par camera.

Camera on the Ultras is phenomenal. You have to check them out to use them effectively.

Thanks! This is a good reality check!
