Prices of these smartphones are ridiculous, but you know what, they've become an important part of our lives! My iPhone 6 recently died (almost got two years out of it) and decided to switch to Android to see if I liked it or not (with the Google Pixel). Awesome phone, so many great features, but at the end of the day I just preferred iOS over Android. Personal preference I suppose, and while I won't be lining up for the ridiculously overpriced iPhone X ($1500AUD, wtf...), the iPhone 8 looks like a worthy upgrade.
I tried really hard to like the Android because I really did like the Pixel. Oh well. I've got a few mates working in Samsung here in Australia too and they've got their hands on the Note8, and they're loving it. Some of them upgraded from the S8/S8+ too. I tested the portrait mode for the camera on the Note8, and it's freakin' awesome!
My uncle works at the head office of Huawei @ Shenzhen and he sent the P10 to my dad. Very nice, completely changed my opinion of Huawei, though the build quality isn't up there with Samsung and Apple (hard to beat the premium feel of glass all over).
