The Samsung Galaxy Note7 is officially toast.

Following initial reports of explosions, Samsung responded with a recall and replacement program. But problems persisted, and some replacement devices have reportedly caught fire. Network providers like AT&T and T-Mobile have halted Note7 replacements and offered refunds, and Mashable officially retracted its recommendation of the device on Tuesday.

If you're in the market for a replacement Android device, we've got you covered. Here are five great choices:

5 phones to replace your Samsung Note7 with

Motorola Moto Z

The Moto Z boasts a sleek, modular design. A couple of the phone's best features are its water resistance, responsive fingerprint scanner and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera. There's no headphone jack though -- just like the iPhone 7.

OnePlus 3

The OnePlus 3 is a great alternative to the Note7, and at $400, it's much cheaper, too. The specs are at a comparable level to Nexus, Galaxy and iPhones, but without the premium price tag.
LG V20

The LG V20 is the first smartphone to launch with Android 7.0 Nougat pre-installed. This phone is great for photos with improved electronic image stabilization, and its sound quality is great. Also, it's good at not catching on fire.
Samsung Galaxy S7 (Edge)

If you still trust Samsung, go for the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. It's a bit smaller than the Note7, but it has the same curved screen design without the explosions.

Pixel Phone by Google

The Pixel and Pixel XL have not yet been released -- October 13 is the pre-order date. Our official review is forthcoming, but we got the opportunity to try the device at a recent media event. We liked the design and new features -- and it even has a headphone jack.
