Well, if you want something different then go with the pixel or a oppo find x series or even Xiaomi if you can get them in your area. But if you want a similar hardware experience but modernized, I would look at Asus or Sony. To me Samsung has gotten stagnant with their s series lineup from cost cutting to removal of features like expandable storage and headphone jack. For these reasons it has made me apathetic to their brand in general now as well. At least with Asus and Sony they are retaining features and adding more, instead of removing them.
