Best phones right now for upgrading.

[THEfonz]

So im due for an upgrade on the 1st of Dec.

Its quite important for me to have a killer battery, the rest is optional.

Phones ive been looking at so far :
Blackberry Priv
Blackberry DTEK60
Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge
Google Pixel XL
Huawei P10

Any advice to narrow down my options or even add a new competitor to the list.

The Pixel has one up on every Android phone with the latest Android versions being rolled out ASAP unlike Samsung and worst being Huawei on that front, but still I would go for the Samsung as that screen is liquid cool. The camera ain't too bad either

Any idea when we'll see the Pixel XL in ZA?

Check with Cellu City. They brought in the previous model on contract.

I prefer Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and Google Pixel as my 2nd choice. If battery is your most important priority, then I would choose the Google Pixel XL out of those list, it will last the longest.

However, there are other phones out there that battery will last even longer such as the:

Asus Zenphone Max ZC550KL
Acer Liquid E700
Acer Liquid Z630
Acer Liquid X2
Panasonic Eluca Icon
Sony Xperia Z3v
LG X Power
Samsung Galaxy S6 active
Nokia Lumia 1520
Samsung Galaxy A9 (2016)
Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016)
Motorola Moto Z Play
Samsung Galaxy S6 Active
Sony Xperia Z3 Compact

If battery is not important, you can add these to your list too
OnePlus 3
Apple iPhone 7 Plus
LG G5
HTC 10

Just remember that the Asus Zenphone Max ZC550KL is a average phone but it does have a superb battery life.
If you want a good or better than average phone with good decent battery life I would go for the ones below if it was me.

Sony Xperia Z3
Motorola Moto Z Play
Samsung Galaxy S6 Active
Sony Xperia Z3 Compact
Nokia Lumia 1520
Google Pixel XL

I would go for the xiaomi mi max if you purely look at battery life. Not a super high end device but excellent value for money. And it has a 4850mah battery which easily lasts more than 2 days
