Hi XDA!

So, I'm looking for going back to Android on my Smartphone, and I was waiting for the S10 announcement. There is also plenty of other good phones, but I really don't know which one I should buy.

Here is a list of phones I could buy, all with their pros and cons for me:

-Galaxy S10:

Pros:

-Awesome Camera quality

-Battery life looks OK

-I like the size of it, not too big and not too small

-Looks like it's well made

-Galaxy Buds offered for preordering ,which is interesting for me because I'm going back to fitness and I would like a pair of wireless bluetooth earbuds

Cons:

-Pricey. I can have it with galaxy buds for 809 euro, but it's much more expensive than the other phone I could get, and I know all Samsung Galaxy phones goes down really fast in price just some months after it's been out.

-I don't like the back with the 3 cameras.

-Samsung overlay over stock android is not really that great, at least not as good as a stock Android.

-Samsung is known for taking its time for updating their phone to the latest Android version.

For me, this is still my main choice. I owned a S6 years ago, and I knew there was a lot of ROM once the phone is rooted. So I hope the S10 will have a lot of custom ROM.

-Google Pixel 3:

Pros:

-One of the best camera quality, without having to add a ridiculous number of camera

-Size of it is perfect for me, I tried it in a shop and the size is just perfect.

-Google phone, so one of the best Android experience.

Cons:

-Battery life looks "meh". Less than 3000mah seems very low.

-Only 4 gig of RAM

-I don't like the fingerprint reader on the back of the phone

-Even if it's well made, it doesn't have that "premium look", and seems a liittle bit pricey for what I get.

-It seems like this phone outperformed a lot of others only with "software tricks and optimisation", which has it limits over time.

It could have been the perfect phone for me, if only it would have more RAM and a bigger battery, which worry me too much. And I don't know if the Pixel 3 is really futureproof.

-Oneplus 6T:

Pros:

-Price for the power

-6 or 8Gig of RAM

-Fingerprint reader under the screen

-Close to stock android, OxygenOS is a really nice overlay

-Updated by Oneplus really often

-Battery life is great

Cons:

-Cameras looks OK, but not "awesome"

-Mono sound, really?

-No wireless charging

I know Oneplus phones are really great. But the sound quality and the lack of wireless charging is almost a killer for me. I'm ready to put a little more money into a smartphone for more options.

-Huawei mate 20 pro:

Pros:

-Seems almost identical to the S10, but cheaper.

-Fingerprint AND face ID to unlock the phone

-Even if there is a lot of camera, it isn't as ugly as the S10 on the back

-BEST battery life for a phone

Cons:

-Software optimisation from Huawei is not really good

-Doesn't seems to have a lot of alternative to the stock ROM from Huawei

It's a very very nice phone. But the fact that I'm tied to Huawei stock ROM and doesn't have the alternative to flash something else worries me, because I don't know how the mate 20 pro will evolved over time, and if Huawei will improved the software optimisation of this phone.

TL:DR : I'm looking for a phone with really good camera, a nice battery life, futureproof specs and a nice price. The OP6T, Pixel 3, S10 and Mate 20 pro all have some point I'm looking for, but non of them as all of it. So if any custom ROM or flashable zip have any way to correct some issue I've got with some phone...

Thanks!
