1. Brand: Google, OnePlus, Sony

2. Budget: Around RM1500 (Not sure if I can trade in my Oppo Find 7a)

3. Specs: Good battery, smooth, no major bugs, good storage, able to flash custom ROM, running Android Oreo or Pie

1500 can afford OnePlus last gen or Nokia je.
Hi NightFelix, how about RM2000?

I think you are more into CustomROM in case warranty out or no more future update.

Try look into OnePlus 6.
Not entirely wrong. As long as the phone will be supported by the developer for at least 3 years down the road then it'd be good. I am not a tech savvy guy to flash custom ROM, but hope that this new phone I am buying has the latest features (android Pie) at the moment. If the dev does not continue to update then I have the option to flash custom ROM, that's my plan.

Of course, not only able to flash ROM but also the criteria I stated in my first post.

I will look into the specs of OnePlus 6.

1) By the way, how much is it right now? Different websites give different prices.. Don't know which one is legit..

2) I'll buy it from physical shop instead of from online shop. Where can I get it? I live around Klang valley.

Better ask at OnePlus 6 thread, they will give you the best answer.

Thanks buddy, will do.
By the way, how about Google Pixel 2xl or 3 / 3xl?
Would you recommend them over OnePlus6?

If let's say my budget increases to rm3000 now.

The good thing I heard from people about Pixel is that Google will still keep updating the ROM for them even after 3 years from release. As for Oneplus6, the developer doesn't care about older builds' update when they release newer phone. This is one of my concern.

But overall, including features, hardware and software comparison, which one you recommend most?

1. Brand: Any android brand will do (except the not-so-well-known ones)
2. Budget: 2k - 3k
3. Specs : 120Hz display, lightweight OS, OK camera, good software update & support, no green/pink line display issue plzzz
4. Type/Size: 5.7" - 6.2"

PS: I own an OnePlus 8T, it was an amazing phone but it has green/pink line display issue. I'm made aware that it's Samsung's fault since OnePlus sources display from them. That said, I'm still open to OnePlus if the display issue is rectified.
