Which is the best phone for LineageOS 2017?

Nexus is dead, Pixel is nothing (just a Nexus with iPhone price) and Samsung is dead (Exynos/Knox/kernel source), so what is the best phone for LineageOS? I really don't like OnePlus anymore, because for the same price I get a S7 Edge with VR, warrenty and local support (Samsung service point). Car charger for 30 bucks, dash charger, dash cable... f... that!
For now I got a Mi Max Prime (64GB version) and a Mi5s Plus which is just like a 100$ phone compare to firmware support for a highend device (buggy firmware, no real updates, no Xiaomi support (flop)). Don't get me wrong, the hardware is genius (dualsim, 128GB, 6GB RAM, Snapdragon 821, 3800 mAh, QC and for under 400€ with import and shipping) but it feels like the first CM alpha builds from a S3 with Exynos :/
So I need to switch... I looking for a new powerful device with great ROM support, like OnePlus. The battery (SOT) is on the first position, after LineageOS support.
What you think? Switch to the old Nexus 6p, buy a OnePlus 3T (it is the last option for me) or maybe a other phone? A brand new S7 Edge I can get for 400 bucks, a Mi Note 2 for 550 but I really don't care anymore... good battery and official LineageOS is what I need for the future.
I hope you guys can help me.
Regards

right now i'm enjoying my Nexus 6p, but if you want something newer the OP3T is your best shot

That is pretty much how i feel with my old LG g3.

Last I checked the Nexus 7 from 2013 had community support well into 2016. So maybe we should all stop placating Google/Oracle in their resource gluttony & update rampaging....
My 2 cents.

What about the Asus Zenfone 3? So far that's the best hardware I've seen for the lowest price. The software is the only thing I don't like about them so much but so far it beats all the other overpriced iPhone comletitors

I'm no developer and don't plan to be, but, how does a phone enters development support for CM and now LeanegeOS?

If a dev like this phone or using this phone now, he'll build it

Change your mi5s plus for mi5

Xiaomi...cheap and great
I am using redmi 2 for over a year now. Couldn't be happier with it

I already got the Mi5 and it was a beast with MIUI but the Mi5 get real firmware support. In 60 days we get 5 (stable) updates and anything works perfect but 5 inch is to small
Its a pain to unlock bootloader but it works...
When I look at the OnePlus 3T: Unlock bootloader in one min., TWRP already official, Kernel source released, based on Android 7.1 official and ROMs like LineageOS already works perfect, without official build.

I use a note 3 Samsung with lineageOs and it works great! I wouldn't change it (ir, micro sd, battery that you can change, etc.)

Zuk z1 , yureka , and one plus can be preffered as these phone officially ran on cm os ....
ALSO IN zuk z1 rooting and bootloader unlocking is covered under warranty

I think Wileyfox will be a good choice in the near futur. Bootloader unlocking is the easiest I've ever done. They made good price, good quality product, official Cyanogenmod support (but it's over now). They don't make overpriced product like OnePlus or ****ty one like Xiaomi (7 days just to have a code to unlock the bootloader) and Xiaomi have brand new smartphone variant every week. Redmi note, redmi note prime, redmi Pro, redmi note pro.... Hard to follow.
I've bought a wileyfox Swift 2 at 189€ - 30€ = 159€ on the official website after broke my OnePlus 1 screen. I find it's better than my OP1 except for the photography and for the rom support.
I've got before a moto g (peregrine + falcon) ZTE open C, Fx0, oneplus 1, Redmi note 4 sold 2 weeks after receive it. And wileyfox is one one the best quality/price I've ever had just after the Fx0.

not the "best" only "best fit"

Hi,
why not the ZTE Axon 7 (snapdragon 820, >=4Gb RAM; back fingerprint, usb-c + QC, Amoled; good photograph) ?
david

I have now a Xiaomi MI4 but for sure a Zaxon 7 is a good choice

Xiaomi MI5S plus user here. LineAgeOS is working for my phone (unnoficial), but is great!

I sell my mi5s plus, got the mi5s but main phone is the OnePlus 3T and it looks like I will never switch from OnePlus, because easy bootloader unlock and support for custom roms.

What's next?

What phone are you going onto next? I was considering the Galaxy S8 but the rear fingerprint scanner has spoilt it for me. I understand the reasons... Small bezels etc... But still...

One plus 4? Or 5 if OP skips the 4. The dev community is why. My other phone is a note 5, there aren't many roms available , and there are so many variants of the phone that most of them don't work on mine. While people here are whining that OOS is only on 7.0 I can't even get a stable nougat rom for my 920w. With 1+ I can get two seperate ROMs from OP plus many custom ROMs some of which are bleeding edge nightlies. It's also about half the price of a Samsung device, and the dual sims are a must for me.

Going to Pixel XL I have blue on pre order releases on Friday here. Won't buy OnePlus again

Probably the pixel 2 but never gonna buy oneplus again

I'm not sure I see what the problem is with OnePlus? It would be nice if they released camera blobs but that's their choice if not.
The OP3 is a great phone. I liked the idea of the Pixel but not for the price. Being waterproof might have swayed me but it's not
Not sure when OP will have another phone.
I'll still likely get the S8! A lot of phones seem to have rear fingerprint sensors now. Huawei, LG, New Samsung and even pixel.

I'll take it from another perspective and tell you which I'm not going to consider:
- Samsung (for trashy closed-system)
- Pixel (for marketing efforts to play Apple prices while still offering a dull-looking device), and very negative community
- ZTE (for sleezy behavior when it came to offering bootloader unlock exclusive to US at the beginning)
- Any overpriced phone with gimmicky features/functions (iris scanners, double cameras, quintillion-pixel density screens, etc.)
Soo... that doesn't leave much to choose from anyway.

would this be a good update from a Nexus 5x?

I'm planing on getting the honor 7x as a gift for someone that haves a Nexus 5x , she likes the Nexus 5x because of the camera. Would this be a good choice?

If only camera is the concern then mi a1 is a better choice. She'll love it over nexus 5x.

Agreed...
Honor's cameras are Inferior to those of Motorola.

umm
My wife has a Nexus 5x, i have a Moto g4 plus.
The Nexus 5x is a much better phone and the camera is MUCH better.
Ordered myself a Honor 7x, arriving tomorrow. I'll compare then and update.

Apple's and Orange's

Not A Fair Comparison...
The Moto G4 Plus vs The Moto G5 Plus is like Night & Day.
The G5 Plus is a "Quantum Leap" ahead of a G4 Plus.
I've owned them both.
The 7x has more features... but overall IMO... The G5 Plus still offers one of the best overall camera experinences at this price point if that is your thing.

5T as upgrade from Note 4..what you guys think? Any feedback is welcome !

Hello!
So my wife has the Note 4 but it is pretty old by now and feels laggy. Unfortunately every new phone has this aspect ratio we both hate 18:9 aside from the Huawei Mate 10 and the the Note FE. Finding the FE seems hard with US warranty and the Mate 10 does not have an OLED screen which she loves. So...as she finds the Note 8 way too long with that hotdog shape...I started thinking the 5t even though is the same aspect ratio, being smaller might be a good alternative. The Mate 10 Pro is also on my short list.
Still, I am leaning towards the 5T the more I read about it. What you guys feel about it after using it for a while? How is Oreo doing on it? Please note that the phone will be completely stock as unlike me, my wife does not want ANY modifications to the stock roms lol
Is battery life really good? From the reviews I read I like that the UI seems very fast and smooth.
Anyways, anything you want to share (and if you came from a Note 4 even better). She does not really use the s-pen so she is fine losing that feature.
Thanks!

I came from Note 4 to OP5T and I love it.

I am guessing the camera is better too?
I am reading a lot of complaints of the 5T camera being worst than the 5 and from samples, it seems like that indeed. I even started considering the Mate 10 Pro now because of that and also the Pixel 2 XL (but with so many burn in issues probably not).
Thanks!

I had different phones, the Xiaomi redmi note 4 lg g6, oneplus 5, s8, and the s8 plus. But I am going to buy to the Xiaomi redmi note 5 pro excellent price performance. The Samsung s8 is also very good if u don't want to flash roms. Easy to setup and system wide ad blocker and almost every month security updates and a very nice screen.
I said go for the s8 the new Samsung experience is very good and many times better than the old touchwiz and a very good battery live and performance.

What phone is everyone coming from?

I've been using a Pixel 2 XL since February 2018 but it's starting to show its age a bit performance wise. I've replaced the battery back in October as it was getting worn out. Here's to hoping that the S20 Ultra camera will be as great as the camera in my 2 XL.

I own the oneplus 7 pro... Ever since I saw the 90hz I never wanted to go back to anything lower. But I do miss all of the Samsung features. So I'm really waiting for my s20 ultra to come in the mail.

I have the Note 10+, and you get used to the hole punch quickly. With it centered there isn't a lot that normally displays there and even in full screen video it isn't large enough to obscure anything from what I've seen.

Galaxy s8 here that is really showing it's age.

Note 8 since launch day that has 2 cracks in the glass. Been off the charger for only 5hrs and was already down to 53%. So I have a 5000mah battery case just to barely make it through the day. I'm over the camera quality. I'm very excited to say the least. Wife and daughter have the s10+, so I've been itching bad for an upgrade.

Huawei mate 20x . So downgrading on size but excited for 120hz display

P30 Pro

S10+

Also on OnePlus 7 Pro. Hardware is nice and all but parts of software, like for basic stuff like calls and messaging, are simply stupid. Talking about software, OnePlus really can't come close to Samsung.

Note 10+

Xperia XZ2. Switching from sony for my primary device, for the first time ever.

Upgrading from a Note 8 that 2.5 years old. So definitely a huge upgrade for me. But not sure why some people are willing to lose so much money trading in a Note 10 or S10+ for an Ultra. Crazy unless you got money to burn and gotta have the best.
