EDIT: My other post got merged to this one, with the following:
A few days later (and more research in to camera quality) I'm now accepting to fork out a few more $$ for the Xiaomi Mi 8 (https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/xiaomi-mi-8-128gb-black-xiaomi/) which I'm hoping will give me a much longer phone lifetime, with excellent quality photos.
I'm looking to make a final decision today/tomorrow and I personally feel like this may be the right phone, but I'd love to get some final opinions on this as I'm still currently comparing this phone to the following:
* LG G7 ThinQ
* Xiaomi Pocophone F1
* Huawei Honor 10
* Nokia 7.1
* Nokia 7 Plus
* Oppo R15, Oppo R15 Pro, Oppo R17 Oppo R11s
* Huawei Nova 3i
(I think I may avoid Oppo though, due to the user being locked in to their custom OS, with some difficulties rooting)
My budget was previously max $500 but I'm willing to pay a max $700(ish) now if it means the phone will provide the following:
* An amazing selfie/rear camera
* Control over android experience (e.g. allowing root capabilities, removing crapware, facebook etc without root)
Thank you all so much for your input so far! :)

Hi there,
In a few months I'm travelling overseas and I think I'm long overdue for a phone upgrade from my Galaxy S5 and I'm wondering from personal experience, what's a good phone to use to snap sharp and colourful high quality photos?
I've currently got my eyes set on the 'Huawei Nova 3i' which impresses me quite a bit with it's megapixel specs and it's price tag!

My max budget is $500 but I want to make sure whichever phone I get, the photos are going to come out incredible from day and night photos! (Hopefully this isn't too much to ask for!)
Additionally, if you have the Huawei Nova 3i could you please give me your feedback on it's low-light photo quality?
Thanks Ozbargain! :)
