The camera is fully broken, the SD card slot is completely broken,the sim card slot only works when i take the back off and press hard on it when i turn on the phone otherwise my phone can't call, text, or web search. Also I have an annoying auto update keep popping up that I can't do because the Verizon store and review said it will ruin my phone. So what phones are pretty good right now that aren't crazy expensive as I don't have $700 to buy a phone. I was looking at the iphone SE online and it has the same specs as the iphone 6S but is smaller size screen. 64gb version of the SE costs $500 verses the 6S $750 for the 64gb. I was reading reviews on the Galaxy s7 but it seems like the battery doesn't last and the build quality isn't great. None of the other phones stand out. I wouldn't get the LG G5 because of reliability concerns and small battery. The latest HTC looks nice but doesn't have a dedicated gallery for pictures and is buggy. What should i do? Awards

I read alot of consumer reviews and that was a big issue. I do prefer android to ios, but at the same time I need reliability and performance for a decent price. I'm also on Verizon so the turbo 2 is on my radar. I'm going to go check out all the phones in person at the Verizon store soon.

I ended up ordering the nexus 6p. The price per performance was too good to pass up. I ended up paying only $550 for the 64gb version. The 5.7inch screen, quick android updates, loud front stereo speakers, big battery, fingerprint sensor and good camera are what sold me. The processor is pretty much as good as all the known top phones today. Edited July 15, 2016 by Xp3rT XjCrAzY 1 Awards
