I want to get a new phone in the following weeks and some insight would be appreciated.
First of all, my priorities when looking for a smartphone is durability, battery life, screen size and quality and camera, as I don't play on it (maybe some small puzzle games). So, performance wise I just need something that won't have problems dealing with different small apps opened at the same time. I have been reading a lot about OnePlus 3 and Moto G4 Plus, and the price differentiation between those 2 would be around 150 euros. So, my biggest question is: paying 150 euros more for the OP3 would be worth for me or I wouldn't see any difference?
Also; are there any other phones at the price range of 250~400 euros that are better?

I think, OnePlus 3 is best choice. OnePlus X maybe.

OP3 is worth. It's probably got one of the smoothest performance experiences on any phone apart from the pixels.
Only issue with the OP3 is customer support, if you can get it somewhere that offers its own warranty service (just an in warranty exchange) then go for it as the OP service is a bit shit sometimes.
With the OP3 you get a better camera, performance, display and one of the quickest finger print readers on the market as well.

I have a Motorola moto G (around 180€ if I recall correctly) and it's been great so far. Would recommend Motorola phones.

Motorola is a great phone maker. Their phones are top notch even though I don't buy them. My Mom had a Motorola and it lasted her for years. So the Moto G is my pick!

I would recommend the moto z play. It has the best battery life of any phone, and by a significant margin. It is also very much powerful enough for the things you are doing.

I recently got an HTC 10 and am enjoying it so far. May not be too important to you but it's got some of the best audio of any smart phone which was the main reason I chose it. Probably better stuff out there if you don't care about audio quality though.

Comparing to the G4 Plus, it's that different even if I don't play any games? That's my biggest doubt, I am not sure if all the performance would be wasted due to the way I use the phone. Because, from what I have seen, I can get G4 Plus with 16 gb/2 gb ram for 250 euros, 32 gb/2 gb ram for 300 euros and 64 gb/4 gb ram for 340 euros, and, from previous experience, I believe 16 gb would be enough for me.
And how is OnePlus support regarding Android updates?

Those are too expensive, I don't want to pay more than 400 euros in a phone :|

Yeah, I like to avoid brands with fanbase big enough to sell the name instead of the technology. I have been actually temporally using a Galaxy J1 Mini because my Razr HD died (after 3 years) and I got the cheapest I could find until I had enough money to get a better one, and I hate the Samsung's Android skin and all the bloatware.

Support isn't so bad, they have stated they will continue support for their main flagships as I believe it's only really the OP X that is suffering at the moment. Even so, it's very dev. friendly so you can find up to date roms on xda and stuff.
The performance might be wasted but it will hopefully serve for a long amount of time because of that, plus if you have a change of lifestyle etc. it can acoomodate that easier.

From someone who worked in a phone shop, I have moved to a OP3 from an S7 edge and so far it's been nothing but great, and if you plan on rooting, it doesn't void the warranty. The fingerprint scanner is the best I've used, it amazed me how fast it was when I first used it. The S7 edge was incredible in terms of the battery life and camera, so the OP3 is a bit of a downgrade from that, but the performance you get for the price is amazing.

in my opinion there's definitely something to be said for the stock android experience (manufacturers and especially carriers bloat the software to unbelievable standards). for that reason i have a nexus 5x (pixels will also be good when they go down in a few months). if you want a different phone you should probably install a cyanogenmod or other os your phone

Sorry for the bump but I layed on my phone on accident and for who knows what reason the left side of the screen doesn't work. I'm looking for a new phone but since I recently had to buy a new car I can't buy off contract so no OP3 sadly. I was looking at the LG V20. My current phone is an LG G3 and I love it, I heard some bad reviews about the LG G5 and the V10 and the V20 are the same price. Has anybody had or currently have that phone? If so would you reccomend it, if not what would you reccomend. I've tried Galaxy phones but I really didn't like them and it seems like the only other option would be the HTC 10.
