The design looks really good, 3 problems:

1: it's way too fucking big. 5.8 inch wtf? I dont need a screen size that huge. I'd rather have the bezels gone but with a 5 inch or less screen and have the phone be smaller. It's  uncomfortable in a jeans or to hold with 1 hand.

2: Samsung UI is just crap

3: I'm really excited for the 10th anniversary of the iPhone

The best android phones to get imo are the Google variants offering a clean and Uncompromised UI. Samsung overlays their OS onto android, just as LG, HTC and everyone else does. If you want a phone that doesn't have pre installed junk apps that can't be deleted, go with a google phone - in this case the Google pixel XL. Google phones are feature packed and generally have top tier specs.

Sony Xperia UI is the one I love the most, it's simple and clean.

I would love to be able to recommend a Sony smartphone, but I can't, because Sony doesn't sell smartphones in the US. Verizon, ATT, Sprint and T-Mobile (the four major US carriers) don't offer a smartphone from Sony. The last somewhat relevent phone here was in like 2013 or 2014 and it was a gimped version of the international version. A lot of their mobile woes stem from lack of presence in the US honestly, which is why it's silly that people think they should close the division down - they shouldn't consider that before making a serious effort here in the states.
