I just want a working phone.
That’s why I stick with iPhone. Everything I do simply works.
Google is not serious about making clean android devices. And I’ve not seen a vendor yet that both updates and has a clean android setup.
Even Google phones? sure they aren't pure Android, but pretty damned close.

@scottalanmiller what are you using these days?

Still on my Samsung, it's not bad enough to replace proactively. I'm just not going to buy from them again when lower cost options look like they are going to be better.

I want to see somebody provide some real competition to the Galaxy Note line. A friend of mine had the LG Stylo 2 and it looked pretty good, but that was a couple or three years ago (or longer).

What is special in the Note line? Bigger size, stylus? As a non-Note user, I'm not really very aware of it.

That's about it for the note line, yes. They made some custom apps to use with the stylus, but they're all things available from the Play Store already.
I still like my Sony Experia AX2 Ultra. The silly name is the only really bad thing about it so far. Had it for around 6 months now. Huge display, good performance, camera is solid but not great. $250

If you want to check out an older model, I think I've got a Note 5 sitting around.

For me, it's the stylus and how well it's been done. I love not having to carrying around a notebook (the pencil and paper kind) with me. I can doodle and not kill trees, lol.

The Stylus types that you can by, I haven't found any that work near as good as the Note's S-Pen does.

Just the pricing here in Sweden, https://eshop.asus.com/sv-SE/zenfone-6-edition-30-12-512-gb-matte-black.html
8,300 SEK (roughly $850), which right now, buying in USD is a sweet deal because 1 USD = 9.8 SEK which is the highest I've seen it ever
Tempting, but still expensive. I think I'd do it if it did 5g. But it doesn't seem to.

Why do you care about 5G? Aren't you moving back to the US? who has 5G here - really has it?

Because That is a phone I would want to keep for like 3 years, and San Diego is the kind of place 5g will actually be a thing relatively soon.

Considering your options then.. I'd wait at least 1 years before buying a phone.

That's probably a good idea.
