How is android devices now?
Have heard and read that even an android flagship (Samsung Galaxy S8) started light lagging after half a year of normal usage, which is too soon? Does it crash? How is android interfaces now, clean or messy? Can it withstand normal to heavy gaming?

My iPhone 6s is still holding up well even after 1.5 years of normal usage+normal/heaving gaming, the only time i need to switch off my phone is due to extreme low battery level, flight, or crashes. Only crashed 5 times in this 1.5 years. The most notable aging part on this iPhone is probably the battery, but i think that will be the case with android devices as well.

My iPhone 6s will be due in a year due to age. Thus i plan to buy a new phone in the coming year but the prices of new iPhones now is a scam. Used to be android user, switched to iPhone back then because i like the simplistic design of its hardware and software, and also the fact that it is more stable. (Back then, android devices, even flagships, crashes too often.)
Only started to like the design of Samsung S8 and Note8 series due to simplistic design, so i might migrate to either S8 or Note8, or the 9 series in the future.

Does new android flagship devices hold up well? Lags? Heats? Crashes? Stability?

I suggest four smartphone companies that I find the most reliable(in software and hardware, personally prefer function over form)
1. Sony
2. Google
3. HTC
4. OnePlus
5. Motorola

My picks
1. HTC U11+
2. Google Pixel 2/2 XL
3. Sony Xperia XZ1/XZ1 Compact
4. Sony Xperia XZ Premium
5. OnePlus 5T
6. HTC U11
7. OnePlus 5
8. Motorola Z2 Force

MWC is right around the corner, so just prepare for the wave of new phones. But the question is which are the best from the show?

Huawei ok je, not the fastest not slow either, seldom crash, but phone battery can tahan very long, much longer than any flagship, suitable for ppl like me who dont like to bring power bank everywhere. Camera easily top 3 among flagship

HTC & Sony not relevant in 2018 already

Huawei has the shittiest software experience I've ever tried, it's trying to be iOS but the concept just falls flat.

Meanwhile, HTC and Sony has clean and smooth software experience while still being able to keep sending updates and security updates to their phones first and consistently(especially Sony). And the camera quality of the HTC U11+ is rivallable against the P10, while the camera quality and camera function of the Sony Xperia XZ1 is the best in the category.

Well Samsung UI's isn't as bad as you think, it has all the features from stock Android and even some extras made by themselves.

It's not the UI, it's the amount of bloatwares.

They toned it down very much, even their Bixby is now just decent instead of annoying. They also have Samsung Pay, which is(imo) the best payment option in Malaysia right now.
