    It really depends on what features you really want. The iPhone 8 is still a great buy if you're on a budget and you don't need a super fancy camera or anything like that. The iPhone X and X Max are great if you want dual cameras, great performance, and an extended battery life. The best phone for you is going to depend on what you personally value, though.

    Should I still be worried about my Samsung phone battery exploding, or is that problem fixed?
    Community Answer

    It depends on what Samsung phone you own. If you have a Galaxy Note 7, turn it off immediately and send it to Samsung to get a full refund. If you do not have a Galaxy Note 7, you are fine. I would recommend a Galaxy Note 9 if you want the features of the Note 7.

    Usually, it shouldn't. There might be some exceptions; if you started to watch a video on YouTube while on the data plan, it might still stream on data plan even when you've connected to your Wi-Fi.
