No single phone out there is worth $800+Everything can brake or die, if it has warranty go for it. I honestly kind of regret buying an S8+ last years , I mean it's great and all but certainly not worth the money.

And yet I'm stuck on Marshmallow for 2 years, albeit on a mid range phone. If you're not buying their flagships, they're no better than any other OEM.Xiaomi Mi5 user here. Can't complain. I really like the design of it, it's super convenient and software is amazing. Some will call it "bloated", but it just isn't. You can remove most of preinstalled apps (especially Google ones) using an app called System Apps Remover, designed for Xiaomi phones specifically. What I especially like is very long term software support. They were just recently pushing out updates for phones from 6 years ago (Xiaomi Mi2). If they continue this trend they got a loyal user here, because software support for other companies just plain stinks like rotten donkey ballz. The amount of updates I received just with Mi5 is more than all the phones I had combined. And some were quite big ones, last one being update from Nougat to Oreo. I hope I'll see the Android "P" one day which might be a likely thing. If I had any other big brand name I most likely wouldn't even get Oreo... So, there's that.

But the community support more than compensates for it. Got a Mi4c for cheap a few years ago, and I was surprised to see that it has so many excellent firmware options on XDA.And yet I'm stuck on Marshmallow for 2 years, albeit on a mid range phone.

I think you're talking about MIUI updates, including security patches. What's the last OS update pushed for Mi 2 ⚁Sure, but how many high ends get updates for so long after release? For most, 2 years is a stretch, 4 years a miracle and 6 years mark doesn't even exist. I've had 2 flagships and both disappointed me in this regard. Galaxy S2 was rubbish when it comes to software and so was Huawei Ascend P7. Both were pretty good hardware wise, but software support was basically non-existent. And I liked Huawei quite a lot. Xiaomi on the other hand really surprised me. If they get even Android "P" to it, then they are just superior in this regard.
Yes but Mi doesn't get credits for that. With RN3 I'm stuck on Android M. I can't root this device because lots of important apps don't work with root.But the community support more than compensates for it. Got a Mi4c for cheap a few years ago, and I was surprised to see that it has so many excellent firmware options on XDA.
Currently running Lineage OS 14.1and OTA autoupdate works like a charm. Wanted to upgrade to LOS15 at some point, but so far had no time or compelling reason. Basically it's a perfect choice for an android enthusiast.
I am currently settled on Nokia 8, but I still use Mi4c as a secondary "work" phone, cause if I drop it and break the screen - it'll only cost $15 to fix it (self-repair I mean).
