Hey, I'm sure the "Decent phone for $X" thread is somewhat common, but I was wondering if anyone could give me any suggestions.
Currently I have an S7 Edge, but it's carrier locked, and not to my carrier, so I can't use any cellular features on it. It's also stuck on Android 7.0, because updates over carrier and such. Anyways, I'm looking to upgrade my phone within a budget of around $200, and wanna know what people would suggest/recommend. Most important to me is a good battery life (current S7 lasts about 4-6 hours with standard use and its awful lol), and being able to multitask. Right now I'm looking at this S8+ on ebay, but let me know if any of you have any suggestions. Thanks!

Typing this out an s8+, I gotta say it's pretty good. There's no difference between the s8 and s8+ other than screen size so if you dont care an s8 might be cheaper. General rules are to look for one locked to your current carrier if you're not gonna switch anyways and make sure you get the IEMI so you can check it. But yeah, this or maybe an older oneplus would be my best bet.

    Mine is plugged in at all times, since I don't have the wireless dongle anyway. Not much interest in spending money on a replacement one, since I'd just have to worry about recharging the battery, potential latency/lags, and all that stuff

    It's nice that it was designed with wired usage in mind, having the micro USB port recessed, rather than putting it in some weird place, you know...
    I don't have to think of it as a wireless mouse at all.

    I owned a pizza place near OSU campus years ago, n I'd have bums come in asking for food. 2-3 times I offered to make them a free pizza if they'd only take out trash n they refused.
