I am greatly dissapointed about the non changes nougat has brought, after the non existent change we saw with all the 6.0 variations. So after 2 years of nothibg, i expect nothing anymore... Pixel prices are crazy in Greece, they go above 1000euros surpassing even the iphone 7 plus!
It almost feels like Google has lost the plot...

gonna try an axon 7 tomorrow as a music player. it has a dedicated dac and amp, so it's supposed to sound better with headphones than my current, already above average phone. what i don't like is the fingerprint scanner on the back and the on-screen navigation keys, but in case it sounds good i'm in.
You were rockin a Windows phone all this while? 
Well, welcome to 2018.

It really sounds great with that Dolby Atmos thing they've going on. The Front facing speakers sound pretty good too when watching vids. Overall just a great piece of hardware for very little money. Camera shoots RAW
I'm slowly starting to look for a new phone, does anyone know a low-medium budget phone (around 150-300 euros) that's good for the price, is tough enough to endure bad ownership and has a decent audio system?
In my experience Huawei lite versions are great in terms of endurance and quality/price ratio (my current 2 yo Huawei P8 lite is literally bent and screen is crashed from falling from bicycle and sliding on asphalt, but somehow it miraculously still works half a year later), but their audio system leaves a lot to be desired, I use an app (SW) to improve the sound, but I'd like my next phone to have better audio quality for listening to music. Don't give a crap about how many cameras it has.

i did, and it sounds terrific for a smartphone. it's got plenty of power to drive less sensitive iem's, it can replace cheaper dap's with ease. we had a meeting with a couple of iem loving friends, and there were a couple of dap's available for comparison. a cowon plenue 1 sounds obviously much cleaner, with bigger soundstage and with a lot more analog-like sound, so obviously it can't compete with a $700 dap. but in a direct comparison with a fiio x5-iii and a shanling m1, the 7 did great. considering it's mainly a phone with an added feature of a well-made audio circuit, boy, it's awesome as a music player.
it also has a nice oled screen, good sounding speakers for a phone, and is pretty fast by today's standards. i prefer the fingerprint reader on the front of the phone, the navigation keys should be backlit, and it's just a tiny bit bulky for my taste (i mostly wear tight jeans/trousers, so when it comes to phones, the smaller/thinner, the better), still, my first impressions were very positive. i also like the lineage os support. being a 2-year-old model, it should be outdated, still, i'd probably pick this one over most current midrange phones.

It still holds up very well against new phones, especially against those with around the same pricetag.
Of course you can get something better, in the end it's all about what YOU need, but for me it does all i need it to do. Camera and Audio is great and it runs smooth. That's all i'm asking for.
It runs the latest android version i think, and knowing ZTE it will get an update for the next version too.

Not a lot of difference asides from you get more screen coverage on the Samsung. The OS is older than the Google. And the Samsung has expandable memory unlike like the Google pixel amongst a few other differences
Personally I'd go with the Samsung
