Help choosing a new phone!

    My HTC m7 has been dying a slow death and I finally have the money for a new device!! I had been looking at chinese android phones for the last few months, but since starting a new job I think I'll take the plunge and go for a flagship (m HTC has lasted nearly three years so was well worth the money I paid which was close to 800 at the time!!) I have a budget of about 600 and while perusing eglobalcentral, I noticed that the nexus 6p, HTC 10, LG G5 and galaxy s7 can all be had for under this price! Which of these would you recommend as the best option? I'll list a few pros and cons I have for each one

    HTC 10- have had the m7 for nearly three years so I like the build quality of HTCs and I'm quite used to Sense UI. Was disappointed at the lack of stereo speakers on the 10

    Nexus 6p- really like the look of this phone. Front facing stereo speakers, fingerprint scanner placement and stock android are big pros. Main con is the size, i've never seen one in real life, but they look very large ( a full inch larger screen size than my current phone!)

    Samsung Galaxy S7- largely the same as the HTC specs-wise with the addition of ip-68 water resistance. Design-wise, i'm not a fan of glass backs on phones, have seen so many break so easily (most recently a friend whose new s7 edge cracked down the back after a relatively mellow drop!!) Aside from this small gripe I think its a beautifully designed phone and you can't ignore samsungs dominance in the market

    LG G5- have wanted an LG since the G2, almost identical specs to htc and samsung, however the modular design is completely gimmicky and relatively useless for me. The main pros are that i like the way it looks and the fingerprint placement

    What do you guys think? If anyone with the above phones could give me insight into how they are to use day-to-day that would be great and would help me make a good, informed decision!!
