Hello, i am looking for help on an unlocked smartphone purchase. Currently , i have a Lumia 920 provided by my workplace for use, and they are going to a reimbursement policy. I am not really a fan of the windows phone, and somewhat clueless about smartphones in general due to having worked for the same company for more then 10 years, and only kept a basic flip phone for personal use.
I work on construction projects, doing field engineering, so need a durable phone, that can take good pictures in low light/night conditions, and can be carried pretty easily. My main uses of the phone will be Quality Camera, as a hotspot, taking reports with word/excel/sharepoint etc, sending reports & photos through laptop/tablet with hotspot, & web surfing. Price is not a huge issue, but preferably under 600 US, i have no real issue spending money for a flagship phone provided the quality is worth it. Prefer to avoid a lot of boatware on the phone, size is probably 5-5.5", maybe bigger but i will be using a case regardless, so the larger phones are problematic for extended field use, and i feel 5-5.5" is about the right size, the Lumia 920 is 4.5" and a pain to text/type on. Carrier will likely be AT&T or another GSM in the US.
Any recommendations are appreciated, thanks.
