Been looking at the Honor 8x... but it apparently does not support any of the newer Tmobile LTE bands.
 
Can't really go wrong with the Moto G or Nokia 6/7 phones. I'm pretty sure they'll support all bands except maybe their newer Band 71 (I think it is) that is hardly still used anywhere yet and probably won't miss until you're ready to upgrade this phone anyways.
 
Do you want new or used... New I agree Moto G line would be my pick. In the USA look at the Hwauei Mate SE. If you okay with used Swappa has tons of good deals. My pick would be a One Plus 3T or LG V30
 
If you choose the MotoG line T-Mobile will turn on VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling and have it working for you.

These Google apps will be pre-installed: Calculator, Calendar, Chrome, Clock, Contacts, Drive, GMail, Maps, Messages, Phone, Photos, PlayMusic, PlayStore,YouTube - and Motorola does not impose their own version of these apps on your phone.

I prefer Motorola phones... but I dont know if Im looking to drop a ton of coin right now. I was looking at the Huawei Mate SE as an upgrade from my Honor 6x.

Tmobile said they will give me a good deal on the LG G7 ThinQ but it would still be $280 and the difference would be in "bill credit" after paying full price for the phone.

Meh... Im kind of torn.

Edit: Website splash screen reads "Promo good from April 03, 2019 12:01 a.m. CDT to April 06, 2018 11:59 p.m. CST or while supplies last.

Man thats tempting. I had a friend with the G6 and he had all kinds of problems... but... meh
 
Moto G6 sure us overpriced. Honor Play 64GB costs 199 € here and runs circles around it. It's too bad when the option are limited.
