My e1's acting weird and there is something eating up my battery. I'm taking this as a sign, so I splurged and got a Nokia 6.1. I'l keep the e1 as a backup / tablet for the time being. Thanks for everyone's help.

Xperia X For the win! Until I submerged it in water and screwed up the screen! Still waiting to save up enough for a screen...
The time to upgrade has come. MY HTC M9's battery is really underperforming as of late. Looking for a flagship phone as I'll be keeping it for 3 years plus. The question now is, Galaxy S9, Pixel 3, Oneplus 6t, Huawei P20 Pro, or something else?
If my current phone breaks down today and I were to buy a flagship this week, it would be Xiaomi Mix 3, for its relatively low price, high performance, 'almost' full screen and the new magnetic sliding feature. Freshly released just yesterday (1 Nov) and so it might not be available widely.
But phone is just one of those things that can be quite subjective. Anyway, do check it out to see if its total package appeals to you.

If you use a headphone jack, S9. (or get the s8 on ultraclearance).
Since it doesn't look like my Xperia is going to live anytime soon, I'll be buying a Moto G6 soon. It looks glossy and nice, but whether it'll hold up like my Moto E did is unclear.
(my Moto E survived about 5 years of constant use, drops, being sat on, and finally cracked after I accidentally dropped it down a long flight of stairs into a moving cart. It still works though!)
(my Xperia worked great until I dropped it into water)
I'm pretty torn on the headphone jack point. I do use headphones, but don't mind the usb-c adapter. Camera and battery life are probably top features for me, and having expandable storage is a huge bonus, but I see many phones don't have that.
I have a Moto G6 I picked up shortly after it was released. So far I like it quite a bit. Snappy performance, decent camera, good battery life and I really like the 18:9 aspect ratio. I would recommend a good case with the Gorilla Glass back, I have dropped mine a few times and it is fine so far with a decent case.
lol pocophone???
Got it. I'm getting it with my mom from (gasps) HSN, and they include a case. Not sure if it's good, but it'll suffice. Now the real question will be how will this phone die within a year
My bets are on electrocution with me by server power supply.
Haha best avoid that, I'm sure the landlord would hate itNow the real question will be how will this phone die within a year
"oh great, should I call the police, the ambulance, the morgue, or the cleaners?"
CAPACITOR BUSTERS!
(shows a Moto G6's capacitors exploding one by one)
How about just stuffing my body into a Corsair 1000D? Perfectly sized... for a coffin.

Well, I would be 90% dead, so he wouldn't really care... I might take his MacBook with me
see how fast the VRMs cook themselves
I ain't afraid of no Cap!

So, have you dropped it? Is this why we've seen earthquakes in your area?7 months in, no regrets on my Nokia 6 purchase.
Seriously though, how much wear does it show? I remember the good ol' days of my Moto E1 which didn't show a scratch after being dropped.
It looks practically new. Apart from a crack in the camera glass right in the centre between the rear camera lens and the flash
Not bad considering my day job is insanely physical. Phone has been dropped, crushed and leant on numerous times.

Does that affect camera functionality?
If it was an iPhone 6, well, it would be spaghetti now

Not in any way, the crack lies right between the lens and the flash, affecting neither!
