Need new phone asap. Old Nexus 6p has given up on me. Im stuck with Verizon. The oneplus 6 looks perfect, headphone jack, great screen...but doesn't work with vzw bands. Supposedly Verizon is going to release a Oneplus 6 this year but no news yet. Pixel 2 XL seems ok but it doesn't have headphone jack and the screen looks awful! Might just go with the 2 XL, but I really appreciate nice panels. I can live without a headphone jack, but i will eventually throw my phone into a wall if the screen is tinted blue with poor contrast. Any advice?
 
How about the LG V30, has a headphone jack, microsd slot, decent screen & camera. I think you can get it on swappa for around ~ $300 or less.

PS: Not sure if the V30 suffered from blue tint or not tho.
 
if you need something cheap that works on vzw check out the motorola G5 plus or G5S plus or G6 plus.. they're all under 300 dollars NEW, and work on verizon.. i've been using the G5plus for a little over a year and have had zero issues with it other than not getting the android 8.1 update but the G6 comes with it as far as i know. the G6 plus has a 5.9" screen, G6 has a 5.7, G5S plus is 5.5 and the G5 plus is 5.2.

nvm guess the g6 plus still isn't in the US yet..

OnePlus 6T does supposedly work with Verizon right now; dunno about activating it though, but if you have an already activated SIM card, it should work. And the best cheap phone is the Essential Phone.
 
Consider the Moto Z3 3 new at $480.

Link

Family member has been enjoying theirs. Snapdragon 835 with 64gb storage and microsd expansion.

Could be hit or miss after reading the reviews though.
 
Ending up ordering a Pixel 3 xl, oh well. Hoping i'll finally have a phone i dont hate. Thanks for the input

I had the Pixel 2 XL last year and sent it back after 1 day because of the screen. Ordered a Pixel 3 and I'm keeping that one. Enjoy!

If it doesn't work out for you, any Galaxy S8/S9 can be flashed to Verizon software, full compatibility. Can probably grab an S8 for $350ish.
