Hey guys, title sums it up.
I recently gave away my iPhone 6 to a family member after 3 years of usage almost. I found a good deal on a huawei mate 10 lite and said i'll give it shot.
Turns out i like android! iPhones are sturdy but i found out you kind of get used of being limited, and don't know it anymore.
So i was thinking of investing in high end phone: I'm looking for names since on google its pretty much the same 3 phones: pixel, note, s8, mate 10.
I want something that lasts around 3 years with no noticeable lag just like my old phone! Battery was still good too!
Feel free to recommend or unrecommend any device! And thanks!

Still rocking my 4 year old note 4.
Bought some aftermarket 10,000mah batteries for it, they last me 20h straight of Heavy (heavy) usage each. (things you can do with removable batteries! Maybe that's why I never upgraded).

I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S7 but it's running a Note 8 custom ROM. Don't feel the need to upgrade anytime soon since the custom ROM will get updated to Oreo as soon as it's out.

Pixel 2 xl. Smoothest phone i ever had and i had many before. weakest point is the screen but not a dealbreaker.

I in the same situation, seriously thinking about LG V30 (it has ridiculous features), I've been using the G3 for a couple of years and the one main feature I really can't stop using is the DT2W double tap to wake, just tap the screen to wake up and sleep - seriously hand when you're eating and reading an article :)

Nexus 6p. I seem to have gotten a golden sample since I never experienced any of the known 6p problems

Pixel 2 XL. Great phone, fast, smooth, camera is insane, quickest updates from Google. Downside is some phones have 1 speaker that buzzes (of course mine is 1 of em), and the screen takes some getting used to, but worth it.

Same boat as you. But planning to change soon as the battery isn't in the best shape anymore.

Thanks for input guys.
I think my primary fear is from samsung's early galaxy line lagging. Pixel 2 xl seems like a nice phone but i couldn't find it here, even if i do it will be costly. Are chinese phones sold here? oneplus, xiaomi... Importing seems to be a hassle.
The s9 released yesterday is appealing but i tend to lean away from galaxy series.
Lg v30 seems like a good option. Any other sturdy phones in the market?

The V30 is a good phone all round---it is a solid phone which does everything well and has a lighter skin than Samsung or Huawei and will get upgraded rather quickly. Another phone to consider (although not for everybody), is the HTC U11. My brother and his wife have them and they both love the phones.

Galaxy S6, once it stops working I'll switch to Hauwei, anything in the 200$-ish budget because if the phone will get boring in 2 years why pay 500$+ for it!

Currently using the S7 but yeah I miss the double-tap to wake. However, using Nova Launcher, you can easily configure double-tap to sleep.

About this feature: there's something incomplete about it, it dims ur brightness then locks ur screen, didn't like it. Huawei launcher has a lock button on home screen which i like
