My priority is camera and battery life. Kinda prefer stock android too but that's not too big of a deal. Other than that, I'm fine with most stuff.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Keep em coming.
I've looked into the mentioned phones and I'm leaning towards the huawei nova 2I. It's quite solid for price. Nothing amazing, but solid.

Meizu Pro 6 Plus. RM 1099 but you may need to COD.

Pro:
- Camera with OIS
- 2K Amoled screen
- Exynos 8890 processor.
- 4GB/64GB

Cons:
- Maybe average battery life (3400mAh).
- No SD card.
- Flyme OS (need to get use to)

For battery life, look into: Lenovo P2, Mi Max 2.

For camera, hard to say, but I would recommend Mi A1 or Nova 2i.

Or J7 Pro if you are a Samsung fan.

Moto G5S Plus seems like a great choice if you are into performance, but the camera is kinda meh...

BTW I absolutely do not recommend the Huawei Nova 2i. I have two friends using it, both of them complaining about battery life bangwall.gif
